---------- Inspiration For the Week-------Cutting
Edge Ministries Celebrates Our 10th Anniversary On The Internet!
On June 10, 1996, Cutting Edge Ministries sprang into life on the Internet!
We had been a ministry since November, 1991, on the radio and by holding seminars.
Beginning in late, 1995, I felt the Holy Spirit driving me to explore the
possibility of getting this unique End Times ministry on the newest of all
mediums -- the Internet. After much trial and tribulation, and threatened
financial ruin, Cutting Edge began to speak the truth of world events to people
all throughout this sinful globe.
From the beginning, my heart ached to use the information God had opened
for me to save souls. I certainly did not want to just give out information
to "educate" people. Rather, I wanted to inform people of the reality
that Daily Events are heralding the soon appearance of Antichrist, and then
challenge them to be saved. Toward this end, we created a template which included
a Salvation Page
hotlink. In the beginning few months, we were so excited because 75 people
per month were downloading a Salvation Page to find out how to be saved; since
this was equivalent to 75 people coming down front in a regular church service
to received Jesus, we were very excited. At this point, our only site was
English.
However, God was not finished with this unique ministry. As we earnestly
sought the Lord in daily prayer, through the prayer support of Prayer Warriors,
and claiming His promises, God has blessed this ministry so greatly so that,
today, nearly 150,000 people from around the world and speaking five languages
-- English, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish, and French -- are downloading a
Salvation Page! In complete conformity to the "Sowing of the Seed"
parable (Matthew 13:1-23), the Holy Spirit is using Cutting Edge to reach
many tens of thousands of people annually in these five languages.
To God be the glory! (Psalm 127:1)
From the bottom of our hearts, we at Cutting Edge Ministries thank you for
your faithful support in subscriptions, donations, and purchases from our
bookstore. We depend utterly on these sources of income to keep the Director
working full time. Since the Director has gone full-time, in September, 2002,
Salvation Page downloads have quadrupled, so you can see the value in him
spending full-time in this endeavor.
To thank our many supporters and to commemorate God's faithfulness for 10
full years of preaching the Word of the Lord to the nations, we have "sharpened
our pencil", and are offering a number of Bookstore items at only $10.00!

"Blood On The Altar: THE Elite Society Beyond Freemasonry!"
Regularly $15.99, On Sale For Only $10.00, Save $5.99!
What's Beyond Freemasonry? That is the question investigators have pondered
for decades. Craig Heimbacher furnishes fascinating answers as he probes deeply
into the sordid arena of "Ordo Templi Orientis" -- OTO - the higher,
more secret society to which elite Masons "graduate" upward. This
book pursues and reveals the "shape-shifting" nature of OTO. Key
members of both the Left and Right wings of political parties throughout the
world obediently serve this terrible Satanic master. This author reveals the
"Command Process" that guides these elite political leaders. The
"Law of Thelma" is the guiding principle operating behind the visible
outer organization.
This book is recommended to all who want to clearly understand why events
occur the way they do and why key leadership acts the way they do. This society
demands its followers -- key public leaders of our time -- develop a method
of concealment unprecedented in history, including lying, subterfuge and simple
misdirection.
This trail leads from the US government, to NASA, to the Hollywood Film Industry,
to Right-wing Patriotic Groups, to New Age Movement, to the current obsession
with the Kabbala.
The OTO has marched from triumph to triumph following its "Great Beast"
founder, Aleister Crowley. This group has successively cast a "Thelemic
spell" over the entire population of Western Society.

"America, The Babylon: America's Destiny, Foretold

Regularly $24.99, On Sale For Only $10.00, Save $14.99, or 60%
As America nears judgment for her many sins, Christians are asking why she
is not mentioned in prophecy. Mr. Coombes painstakingly examines Revelation
17 and 18 and relevant Old Testament texts to show that America is likely
the nation destroyed in these judgments of God.
Cutting Edge has long taught that America is most certainly the Economic
Babylon of Rev 18; but we have been surprised, as you certainly shall be,
of Mr. Coombes' research concerning Revelation 17 being America.
Given the lateness of the prophetic hour, these two books are sadly needed.
Volume 1 is a primary exposition of Revelation plus Old Testament texts, and
is more exegetical and analytical in nature. Volume 2 reviews American history,
showing our Founding Fathers as the true Illuminists they were, showing that
our true national foundation was not Christian, defines the Illuminati, and
takes you right up to this modern era to see how the global plan is working
to its soon completion

---------- This Weeks Hot News ----------
Behold A Pale Horse
I. If the United States Intelligence
has built up an Iraqi terrorist, as we did with Al-Zarqawi, they can kill
him at the exact right time to deliver the most powerful propaganda punch
on the domestic front. American air force strikes did just
that this past week, killing Al-Zarqawi with air strikes.
If you are not aware of the story which Cutting Edge broke almost
9 months ago, that Al-Zarqawi was a created entity by the CIA, please take
a moment to read: "Pentagon
Caught Red-Handed!!
Now that you have this background, let us now turn to the final
act of this propaganda script.
NEWS BRIEF: "U.S.
Shows Photos of A Dead, Battered Al-Zarqawi", My Ways News,
June 8, 2006
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military displayed images
of the battered face of Iraq's most feared terrorist Thursday and Iraqis celebrated
with gunfire after American bombs killed the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. It
was a long-sought victory for U.S. forces ... Within minutes of the announcement
of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's death, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki named three
key security ministers - military and political breakthroughs in rapid succession
that marked the biggest potential turnaround in Iraq in months. The two events
may give the United States and its Iraqi allies another brief chance to build
momentum toward stability and away from violence. With al-Zarqawi out of the
way and the new government in place, some Sunni Arab leaders may be emboldened
to resume a dialogue they started last fall - exchanges sunk by al-Zarqawi's
al-Qaida in Iraq."
Since the United States created Al-Zarqawi, they could either
capture or kill him any time they wanted. With President Bush sinking to opinion
poll levels even lower than President Nixon's abysmal level, and with the
new government having trouble finding people to fill all the positions within
the new government, the Bush Administration needed a boost, both here in America
and in Iraq. This killing of Al-Zarqawi may, indeed, provide just such a boost
for the President.
Toward this Mass Media coup, the announcement was staged by
very high-level Iraqi and American leaders.
"Loud applause broke out as al-Maliki, flanked by U.S.
Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and U.S. Gen. George Casey, announced at the news
conference that 'al-Zarqawi was eliminated'. Casey, the top U.S. commander
in Iraq, said the American airstrike targeted 'an identified, isolated safe
house'. Four other people, including a woman and a child, were killed with
al-Zarqawi and Abu Abdul-Rahman al-Iraqi, the terrorist's spiritual consultant."
(Ibid.)
President Bush responded in typical fashion:
" 'We have tough days ahead of us in Iraq that will require
the continuing patience of the American people', Bush said. Nevertheless,
the president called the killing 'a severe blow to al-Qaida, and it is a significant
victory in the war on terror'." (Ibid.)
Anther news article noted: "President Bush said that yesterday's
killing of the 39-year-old Jordanian-born terrorist offers an opportunity
to 'turn the tide' in the war and that Tuesday he will discuss with Iraqi
leaders 'how to best deploy America's resources in Iraq'." (The
Washington Times)
This terrorist, who has come to be known as the "face of
the Iraqi insurgency", was noted for some very bloody attacks within
Iraq
NEWS BRIEF: "Al-Zarqawi
masterminded some of the bloodiest suicide attacks in Iraq",
CNEWS, June 8, 2006
"BAGHDAD (CP) - To his supporters, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
was a holy warrior, the 'slaughtering sheik' who defended Islam against American
crusaders and Shiite infidels. For the Americans, he was the evil terrorist
behind the Iraqi insurgency. Al-Zarqawi may have been as much myth as mastermind."
Focus on that last sentence: "Al-Zarqawi may have been
as much myth as mastermind."
Alex Jones was showing video clips a couple of weeks ago in
which this feared "terrorist" was incapable and inexperienced in
handling firearms! If he was the dedicated and efficient bloody terrorist
he was supposed to have been, he would have been expert in handling the basic
rifle of the infantryman.
Now, let us return to this featured story.
"... with his brutal campaign of suicide bombings and hostage
killings - backed by a canny Internet propaganda campaign - he pushed Iraq
to the edge of a Shiite-Sunni civil war after the swift success of the U.S.-led
invasion." (Ibid.)
His "canny Internet propaganda campaign" was so good
it caused a lot of people to doubt the truth of the story behind the man.
It did seem that a sophisticated "presence" lurked behind that man.
Remember, Cutting Edge has taken the lead since m id-2003, in warning that
many of the "insurgent" killings were really being carried out by
either Americans, or British, or the ever-present private contractor commandos
which the Pentagon had fielded in Iraq.
Therefore, the concept that American and/or British forces were
the "presence" behind this supposed terrorist really is not far-fetched
at all.
At least some Americans could see through this charade.
NEWS BRIEF: "Democrats
call Zarqawi killing a stunt: Designed to divert attention from unpopular
and hopeless war", By Amy Fagan, The Washington Times, June
8, 2006
"Some Democrats, breaking ranks from their leadership,
today said the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq was a stunt
to divert attention from an unpopular and hopeless war. 'This is just to cover
Bush's [rear] so he doesn't have to answer' for Iraqi civilians being killed
by the U.S. military and his own sagging poll numbers, said Rep. Pete Stark,
California Democrat. 'Iraq is still a mess -- get out'."
Officially, the Democrat Party leadership congratulated President
Bush for the success of the operation, and hoped that his death would have
a positive effect on the war effort and on the attempt to establish a meaningful
government in Iraq. As noted above, key posts within the Iraqi government
were quickly filled following the announcement of Al-Zarqawi. However, violence
erupted which had to dampen any idea that the death of this one leader could
turn the dreadful military position around.
A final wrinkle in this Al-Zarqawi occurred this morning when
a Cutting Edge subscriber called to tell me that she had just watched the
Jim Lehrer Show yesterday, June 8. An American journalist interviewed two
Iraqi men who lived in the neighborhood of the "safe house" in which
Zarqawi was killed. Both Iraqi men swore that the terrorist was most definitely
NOT in the house at the time of the bombing. This story calls
into question the very essence of this story, and makes it quite likely that
the United States just terminated a program for which they no longer had any
use.
II.
Armed violence surged last week in Iraq, turning that helpless country into
a single cauldron of disaster.
NEWS BRIEF: "At
least 43 killed as Iraq fails to finalize key ministers",
Turkish Press, June 4, 2006
"At least 43 people were killed across Iraq as Prime Minister
Nuri al-Maliki failed to gain acceptance for his candidates to head key security
ministries. In the day's deadliest single attack, gunmen near the village
of Ayn Layla northeast of Baghdad stopped vehicles along the road and shot
their occupants, killing 20 people including seven students ... In other violence,
more than 20 bodies were found in various spots around Baghdad, shot to death
and showing signs of torture. Four people were also kidnapped in Iraq, including
a nine-year-old shepherd boy near Kirkuk ... The US military on Sunday said
three civilians died in a village northeast of Baghdad two days earlier apparently
from an artillery round fired from a nearby US base. A US soldier was killed
Saturday in the restive western Iraqi province of Anbar in enemy action."
This kind of sectarian violence disproves the contention of
the White House that the war is progressing satisfactorily. In fact, this
kind of daily murder and mayhem demonstrates that Coalition Forces cannot
win this war, especially with the low level of troops we have committed. This
violence also demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the police and armed forces
of the new Iraqi government, upon whom President Bush is depending for his
"exit strategy".
This next news story really demonstrates how desperate the situation
is becoming in this war-torn land.
NEWS BRIEF: "Russian
Diplomat Killed, 4 Others Kidnapped in Iraqi Attack", The
Moscow Times, June 5, 2006
"BAGHDAD -- A Russian diplomat was killed and four diplomatic
employees were kidnapped in Baghdad over the weekend, the Russian Foreign
Ministry said. The ministry said in a statement that at about 1:45 p.m. Saturday
assailants attacked a Russian diplomatic car that was carrying 'workers of
the Russian foreign service who were performing their official duties', killing
one person and abducting four."
Russia is seen throughout the Arab world as a friend and a "defender
of the Islamic faith". Therefore, we find it surprising that Iraqi insurgents
would attack a Russian diplomatic car, kill a Russian diplomat, and kidnap
four other Russians traveling in the car. Angering Russia at this juncture
would accomplish nothing for the Iraqi insurgency. Unless, "agents of
Zarqawi" ordered the attack in order to provoke a Russian break with
Arabs throughout the region.
NEWS BRIEF: "Bombs
kill at least 31 people in Baghdad", ABC News, June 8, 2006
"Jun 8, 2006 — BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A string of bombs
that killed at least 31 people in Baghdad on Thursday underlined warnings
by U.S. and Iraqi officials that violence will not cease with the death of
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al Qaeda leader in Iraq. In the deadliest blast,
a roadside bomb in a crowded market in eastern New Baghdad district killed
13 people and wounded 28 ... One car bomb exploded in the northwestern Shi'ite
district of Kadhimiya, killing seven people and wounding 17 others, while
a second car bomb in the east of the capital killed six people and wounded
13 others, police said.
"A third car bomb killed five people and wounded 10 in
the mostly Shi'ite district of Shaab, east of the Tigris."
The month of May was particularly brutal.
NEWS BRIEF: "Bloody
month for Baghdad: Nearly 1 400 Iraqi civilians were murdered in targeted
killings last month",
"Nearly 1 400 Iraqi civilians were murdered in targeted
killings last month in Baghdad alone, and many more died in indiscriminate
bomb blasts, making May the bloodiest month in the capital since the war began
... The grim statistics came as Iraqi police found nine severed heads in plastic
bags stuffed in cardboard fruit boxes by the side of a road in the al-Hadid
area ... and a report said United States troops mistakenly killed as many
as seven Iraqi civilians a week at checkpoints last summer. This death rate
has since been brought down to one a week, after top officers ordered changes
to how checkpoints were manned."
"The checkpoint casualty statistics, published by the Wall
Street Journal, quoting US defence officials in Iraq, reflect a heavy toll
on civilians who fail to notice or understand orders to stop their cars and
are shot by troops nervous about suicide bombers. They do not include deliberate
killings by US troops, such as the Haditha massacre last November. They also
exclude those killed by insurgents."
III. Oil prices dipped immediately after the
killing of Al-Zarqawi and the virtual collapse of the Iranian nuclear crisis
issue, but went back up by new developments -- oil is not going down
any time soon, it does seem, for every time some good news comes out, some
bad news immediately occurs, thus giving oil futures traders the excuse to
drive prices upward. Note that these stories reveal that, on the day of Al-Zarqawi's
killing, and the day the news on Iran turned good, these other negative events
occurred, giving oil futures people the excuse to drive prices upward.
NEWS BRIEF: "Oil
Prices Drop Below $70 Per Barrel: following the announcement of the death
of al-Qaida's leader in Iraq, terrorist leader al-Zarqawi and calming of fears
over Iran", BREITBART News, June 8, 2006
"Oil prices dipped below $70 per barrel for the first time
in two weeks Thursday following the announcement of the death of al-Qaida's
leader in Iraq, terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Word by Nigerian militants
that they would release foreign hostages and an easing of world tensions over
Iran also calmed markets, which were already on a downward course after U.S.
data showed ample crude and gasoline supplies ... Light sweet crude for July
delivery fell more than a dollar on the announcement in Baghdad that al-Zarqawi
had been killed in an air raid. By midday in Europe, it was down 98 cents
at $69.84 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. July Brent crude futures
on London's ICE Futures exchange fell 96 cents to $68.23 a barrel.
"Thursday's slide in oil prices continued a two-day trend
as the market adjusted to U.S. government data showing higher crude oil and
gas inventories and some easing of tensions over Iran's nuclear program. 'If
there are indications of a rapid diplomatic solution, prices could fall quite
quickly to the mid-60s (per barrel)', Shum said. 'But the general market feeling
is that it will still take weeks to resolve the issue'."
We have stated for a very long time now that the Bible prophecy
of Ezekiel 38-39 protected Iran from a devastating attack which would topple
the current hardline Islamic regime and/or destroy the country God will destroy
both the Iranian (Persian) forces accompanying the Russian-led forces and
the nation of Iran, just as these forces are getting ready to launch their
attack across Israel's borders. Since God has reserved for Himself the destruction
of Persia (Iran), we know that neither America nor Israel will destroy the
country now.
NEWS BRIEF: "Gunmen
kidnap senior Oil Ministry Iraq official in Baghdad", ABC
News, June 8, 2006
"BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen kidnapped a senior official
of Iraq's oil ministry in Baghdad on Thursday after he left work, police and
oil ministry sources said on Friday. The incident happened the same day U.S.
troops killed Iraq's al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whose demise the
Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani said would help improve the country's
oil production, particularly in the north.'
Did you catch that last sentence? On the same day that world
oil traders drove the price of oil futures downward on the expectation that
the killing of Al-Zarqawi would enable Irqa to resume oil shipments in greater
volume, and the same day that the Iraqi oil minister made the same statement,
"insurgents" captured a senior Iraqi oil official, thus driving
the price of oil back upward. Convenient, don't you think?
"The sources said Muthana al-Badri, Director General of
Iraq's State Company for Oil Projects (SCOP), was on his way home in the Sunni
district of Adhamiya when gunmen in four cars stopped his car and abducted
him but set his driver free ... The kidnapping highlights the challenges and
dangers which Iraq's oil sector, hampered by violence and political wrangling,
face." (Ibid.)
"Nigerian militants" also struck again, on the same
day Zarqawi was killed, contributing to the upward movement of oil futures.
NEWS BRIEF: "Nigerian
militants abduct Koreans in gas plant raid", nzherald.com,
June 8, 2006
"PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria - Armed militants kidnapped five
Koreans and killed several soldiers in an attack on a small natural gas plant
in Nigeria's southern delta on Wednesday ... The attack on the plant operated
by Royal Dutch Shell comes three days after eight foreign oil workers were
released by a different group of kidnappers, and is the latest sign of rising
militancy in Africa's top oil producer."
"MEND, whose attacks have already forced the closure of a quarter of
Nigerian oil output since February, had previously demanded the release of
militia leader Mujahid Dokubo-Asari as one of several conditions for ending
the violence ...The tactics and firepower were similar to those used in a
wave of militant attacks in January and February. 'In the next few weeks our
attacks will increase (in) frequency with the destruction of several facilities
of crucial importance to the oil industry," MEND said, advising workers
to leave the oil-producing wetlands region in Nigeria's far south."
At this point, you might ask, what is this organization called
"MEND"? If you do not know, you are not alone.
"MEND, whose leadership is unknown, is pressing for more
local power over the Niger Delta's oil resources and has said it aims to bring
the Opec nation's exports to a complete halt."
If the leadership of this scary Nigerian militant organization
is unknown, one must at least entertain the notion that the CIA has created
this organization, much like it created the Al-Zarqawi organization. This
Nigerian terrorist organization has single-handily caused several upward spikes
in oil futures prices by their attacks on facilities and on people.
We have Russia to thank for finally setting the global record straight on
oil prices.
NEWS BRIEF: "Russia: 'Era of cheap fuel is over' ",
The Telegraph, U.K., June 6, 2006
"Russia has served a double warning over the price of oil
and intervention to block attempts by its energy firms to move into EU markets.
Viktor Khristenko, Russian's energy minister and guardian of 5pc of the world's
oil reserves, declared that motorists and business would have to learn to
live with expensive fuel because 'the era of cheap hydrocarbons is over'.

IV. At long last, the United States
and the European Union capitulated to Russian/Chinese/Iranian demands on Iran's
nuclear power program.
Once again, if you are not aware that Iran has possessed nuclear
weapons since at least mid-2002, take a moment to read: "Nuclear-Armed
Iran vs Nuclear US: Whom Should The World Fear?"
NEWS BRIEF: "Iran's
President Ahmadinejad: Iran Ready for Nuclear Talks - Gloats over Bush
giving in - comments came a day after world powers backed off a demand that
Iran commit to a prolonged moratorium on uranium enrichment",
"Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday Iran
was ready to discuss "mutual concerns" over his country's nuclear
program, but he refused to first suspend uranium enrichment. His comments
came a day after world powers backed off a demand that Iran commit to a prolonged
moratorium on uranium enrichment, asking only for a suspension during talks
on its nuclear program ... Last week, the United States agreed last week to
join France, Britain and Germany in talks with Iran. If the talks occur, it
would be the first major public negotiations between Washington and Tehran
in more than 25 years."
"However, Ahmadinejad insisted that Iran would never give
up its right under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to produce nuclear
fuel."
Please stop for a moment to realize the gravity of what the
Iranian President has just revealed. False American war rhetoric notwithstanding,
Iran's current program to develop nuclear power for its economy does not violate
any international agreements! Iran is perfectly within her right to enrich
the uranium needed to develop this nuclear-based economy. One of the reasons
Iran and Russia and China stood so firm against President Bush's acrimony
stems from their understanding that the White House was completely off base,
and quite literally did not have a leg on which to stand.
Now, Iran has agreed to negotiate with America on this issue,
provided that her basic international right to develop the uranium fuel necessary
to power her domestic power plants is recognized.
NEWS BRIEF: "US
Compromises: Will allow Iran to convert uranium", The Jerusalem
Post, June 7, 2006
"World powers have compromised on a demand that Iran commit
to a long-term moratorium on uranium enrichment and are asking only for suspension
during talks on Teheran's nuclear program, diplomats said Wednesday ... Such
changes to long-standing international demands on enrichment are important
because they signal possible readiness to accept some limited form of the
activity, despite fears that it can be misused to make the fissile core of
nuclear warheads."
"Since talks between key European nations and Iran broke
off in August, the public stance by the European negotiators and the United
States has been that Iran must commit to a long-term moratorium on enrichment
to establish confidence as a precondition for talks on the nuclear standoff
... Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy
Agency, has backed that view, arguing that with Iran already successful in
small-scale enrichment, it was unlikely to give up its right to such activities.
"Iran announced April 11 that it had enriched uranium for
the first time, using 164 centrifuges. Still, the country would need tens
of thousands of centrifuges to produce adequate fuel for a nuclear reactor
or material for a warhead, and those advocating that Iran be allowed to do
research and development on enrichment say it is better to permit it an internationally
supervised program on such a small scale and try to gain agreement from Tehran
that it will not develop a large industrial program. Iran has said it intends
to move toward large-scale enrichment involving 3,000 centrifuges by late
2006 and 54,000 centrifuges later, but also has indicated it might suspend
large-scale enrichment to ease tensions."
Thus, American and European Union negotiators have virtually
capitulated to the Iranian demands. Iran will be allowed to enrich small amounts
of uranium, so she can proceed with her atomic power plant development. What
did Iran give up in return for this capitulation? Nothing. For this reason,
President Bush is standing once more with diplomatic egg on his face.
Russia stepped in to ensure that every nation -- including Israel
-- got the message that Iran was "off limits" to any military action.
NEWS BRIEF: "Russia
urges Israel against Iran attack: Sends message through U.S. in order
that Israel "will get the message", MOSNEWS, June 9, 2006
"Russia sent messages to Israel through U.S. intermediaries
recently, voicing opposition to a possible military attack on Iran’s
nuclear facilities ... The newspaper claims that while Israel and Russia have
good relations and a direct line of communications, the Russians chose to
use the U.S. to deliver this message of military restraint out of a belief
that Jerusalem pays closer attention to messages from Washington. According
to assessments reaching Jerusalem, while the Russians don’t want to
see Iran get the bomb, they believe this may still be a decade away and that
in the meantime diplomatic efforts might succeed in keeping Tehran from reaching
that point. Moscow is concerned any military conflagration would eventually
spill over the Russian-Iranian border into the Caucasus, Central Asia and
even Chechnya, and be detrimental to Russian interests."
"The Russian concern, according to this assessment, is
that UN sanctions would be the start of a “slippery slope” leading
inevitably to military action, just as was the case with Iraq."
Russia is very determined that President Bush not invade an
other country in the Middle Eastern region -- and has been so concerned since
April 12, 2003. Since so many people might never have heard of the severe
ultimatum which Russia's Putin issued to the United States on that date, let
us refresh your memory.
In our article, NEWS1802,
"Has Russia Drawn A Line In The Sand Against the United States",
we quote the Russian President:
"Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday warned the
US-led coalition not to attack other countries under the pretext of promoting
capitalist and democratic values after having defeated Iraq's dictatorial
regime. 'We are not going to export capitalist, democratic revolutions,' the
Russian leader told reporters as rumours in Washington allege that some elements
of the US administration are mulling launching military operations against
other Middle Eastern states. 'If we do, we're going to end up on a slippery
slope to non-ending military conflicts. We can't let that happen,' Putin said
at a joint press conference with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and French
President Jacques Chirac after holding talks with them." ("No strike
on other countries, Putin warns US", Sify News, April 12, 2003)
Russia, France, and Germany committed the long-term reputation
of their countries to this warning to President Bush. And, Russia has the
military capability of advanced Scalar Weaponry with which to back up his
breathtaking demand. Since this date, President Bush has not overthrown any
other country, has he? This understanding reduces much of what President Bush
says to empty wind rhetoric! And, the Islamic world is beginning to understand.

MOSNEWS , jUNE 9, 2006
"On Thursday, June 8, Russia became the latest in the list
of countries that shifted a part of its Central Bank reserves from the dollar.
Sergei Ignatyev, chairman of the Central Bank, said that only 50 percent of
its reserves are now held in dollars, with 40 percent in euros and the rest
in pounds sterling. Earlier it was believed that just 25-30 percent of Russia’s
reserves were held in euros, with virtually all the rest held in dollars."
Notice that Russia is just now becoming another nation in a
"list of countries that shifted a part of its Central Bank reserves from
the dollar". Several years ago, President Putin noted that the only reason
President Bush was financially able to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and threaten
other countries around the world with "Regime Change" was because
of the economic clout America had because her currency was THE currency of
the world.
Specifically, Putin noted that, if nations would buy and sell
oil in currencies other than the American Dollar, the Dollar would become
so weak so quickly, President Bush could no longer fund his aggressive policies.
That time has evidently come.
Remember, Iran was threatening to change her oil trading so
that she could sell her products in currencies other than American Dollars.
If more and more nations of the world begin to adopt this policy, the American
Dollar could be so weakened that President Bush might have to order our troops
home because he could no longer financially afford to keep them there.
VI.
Ann Coulter, who has been one of the "faces" of George W. Bush since
9/11, revealed the President's true heart and spirit in her newest book, "Godless".
NEWS BRIEF: "Ann
Coulter draws fire for bashing 9/11 widows -- Coulter advocated the invasion
of non-Christian nations after Sept. 11", The Boston Globe,
June 9, 2006
"WASHINGTON --Ann Coulter, the conservative pundit with
a penchant for creating controversy, caused a ruckus when she called 9/11
widows 'witches' and accused them of using their husbands' deaths for their
own political gain. It is just the latest of the high-emotion, sharp-rhetoric
attacks that she has leveled in four previous books and frequent appearances
on cable television programs ... In her latest book, Coulter criticizes the
four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed their husbands at the World Trade
Center. The women also backed Democrat John Kerry's presidential candidacy
in 2004.
" 'These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in
articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by
grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much',
Coulter wrote."
Some people might ask, "what has gotten Ann Coulter so
riled up?" I submit to you that she has always been "riled up"
in her continuous defense of President Bush specifically and Republicans generally.
Let us consider some of her other "notable quotes", as noted in
this Boston Globe article. Note the kind of political "paid assassin"
Ann Coulter has always been.
* ".... she advocated the invasion of non-Christian nations
after Sept. 11 and the deportation from the U.S. of "all aliens from
Arabic countries."
* "... she said the only real question about President
Clinton was "whether to impeach or assassinate."
* "--"To expiate the pain of losing her first-born
son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging
in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch. ... After your
third profile on 'Entertainment Tonight,' you're no longer a grieving mom;
you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show,"
Coulter wrote in her TownHall.com column on Aug. 18, 2005."
These are awfully strong words directed toward a woman who has
lost her first-born son in a war launched on the basis of deliberate lies,
and who feels an immense betrayal toward her country's elected leaders who
knowingly sent America's sons to die in such a despicable war. Does Ann Coulter
have any Motherly instinct flowing in her veins?
* "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go
to the New York Times Building," The New York Observer quoted her as
saying on Aug. 20, 2002. She clarified those remarks with RightWingNews.com:
"Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left
the building except the editors and reporters.'"
* "... Clinton announced he would take an office in Harlem.
... 'As one of my friends remarked, that should be nice: Having escaped a
mugging on the way to work, Clinton's female employees will then have to face
an accused rapist in the office'."
* " 'The Americanization of Iraq proceeds at an astonishing
pace, the Iraqis are taking to freedom like fish to water, and the possibilities
for this nation are endless ...' Coulter wrote in a June 30, 2004, column
posted on her Web site."
In light of events these past two years, Ann Coulter's rosy
statement seems ludicrous! She would have better spent her time reading Cutting
Edge newsletters and articles which began to boldly say in the Summer of 2003
that the war in Iraq was planned to go badly and end up making President Bush
look incompetent, devious, and dangerous. All these Cutting Edge predictions
have come true with a vengeance, while Coulter's remarks are now sitting in
the "trash heap of history".
* " '(Liberals) are always accusing us of repressing their
speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. ... Frankly, I'm not a big
fan of the First Amendment', Coulter said during an Oct. 21, 2005, speech
at the University of Florida."
Rather than being the rantings of a deranged woman, these Coulter
statements reflect the very heart and soul of President Bush, the very man
she has been entrusted to politically protect. Doubt it not! After 9/11 President
Bush demanded, and got, the greatest set of dictatorial powers the world has
ever seen since World War II. American citizens have not realized this fact,
because none of these draconian powers have yet been enacted.
But, one thing is clear: like Ann Coulter, President Bush is
"not a big fan of the First Amendment".
* --"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders
and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and
punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities;
we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war," Coulter wrote in a
column published by the National Review Online on Sept. 13, 2001."
Ann Coulter is advocating the Roman Catholic method of converting
people to Christianity -- by the edge of the sword. Since she supports the
killing of civilians in a war, she must be very comfortable with the 100,000+
civilians killed since the date of the invasion (NEWS2006).
* " 'We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens'
creme brulee', Coulter said in a Jan. 27 appearance at Philander Smith College
in Little Rock, Ark., regarding Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. She
later explained she was joking about the justice, whose votes have upheld
Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision legalizing abortion."
Now you know the truth about Ann Coulter -- she is just a vicious
attack dog entrusted with the task of defending President Bush.
President
Bush's Evil vs Good Fruits -- You WILL realize just how close Ann Coulter
is to President Bush's inner heart of hearts when you read this list.
VII.
News reports of the deliberate torture campaign carried out by the CIA in
the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks just continues to expand.
Just as we have been warning since November, 2001, the CIA was flying arrested
"terror suspects" overseas to countries whose torture facilities
and expertise was renowned and in place. Stories in the past several months
have focused on certain countries in Europe who allowed the CIA to establish
torture prisons on their soil.
NEWS BRIEF: "CIA
used Syria for 'outsourcing of torture': Council of Europe report",
World Tribune, June 9, 2006
"LONDON — The CIA employed Syria as a contractor
for detention and torture of Al Qaida suspects, a report said. The Council
of Europe released a report that outlined CIA cooperation with Syria from
2001 through 2004. The report, which focused on secret CIA flights of Al Qaida
suspects, asserted that the U.S. intelligence agency sent abducted Syrian
natives from Europe to Damascus, where they were imprisoned and tortured by
Syrian intelligence ... The report cited Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen of
Syrian origin, abducted by the FBI during a stopover in New York and flown
to Syria. Arar was said to have been tortured for 10 months in a prison operated
by Syrian intelligence."
The State Department denied the truthfulness of this report,
but given the many times Administration officials have lied, I must conclude
that, perhaps this report is true after all. Furthermore, I have endured too
many news stories which have proven the tendency of the Bush Administration
to lie and to torture, to believe the official denial. Please take a moment
to read our article: NEWS1885,
"BUSH - ASHCROFT ARGUING TO 9TH CIRCUIT COURT THAT THEIR GOVERNMENT CAN
TORTURE AND SUMMARILY EXECUTE PRISONERS WITHOUT THE COURTS HAVING ANY JURISDICTION
WHATSOEVER!"
Given this awful penchant for torture by the Bush Administration,
we can only conclude that this report is true. While criticizing Syria and
other nations for their "human rights abuses", America CIA agents
are sending prisoners to Syria for the express purpose of torturing them --
prisoners whose guilt has never been proven in an open court of law! Can it
get any worse than this?
Notice that the "Council of Europe" report, referenced
above, is quoted by the New Zealand Herald, below.
NEWS BRIEF: "Europe
colluded with US' CIA over prisoner 'spider's web': More than 20 countries
colluded in a "global spider's web" of secret CIA prisons and flight
transfers of terrorist suspects", nzherald.com, June 8, 2006
"PARIS - More than 20 countries colluded in a 'global spider's
web' of secret CIA prisons and flight transfers of terrorist suspects stretching
from Central Asia to Guantanamo Bay, a European rights watchdog said today.
Council of Europe investigator Dick Marty said the US Central Intelligence
Agency's well-oiled system fell short of torture but amounted to a form of
"legal and judicial apartheid" that could exacerbate Muslim anger
and spawn new terrorists ... European governments have faced embarrassing
allegations over cooperation with US policies unpopular with domestic opinion.
It has fueled perceptions some were ready to ignore national laws due to US
pressure to back the war on terrorism.
Marty said in the report many of the Council's 46 member states had provided
limited cooperation with his inquiry, but witnesses, plane enthusiasts, confidential
sources and flight records had helped him partially lift a "veil of silence".
"It is now clear - although we are still far from having established
the whole truth - that authorities in several European countries actively
participated with the CIA in these unlawful activities," said Marty.
"Other countries ignored them knowingly, or did not want to know,"
he said, adding he had amassed a great deal of circumstantial evidence of
secret CIA detention centres but had "no formal evidence".
As we have been warning since the early days following the 9/11 attacks, President
Bush has used the attacks to justify unlawful activity against Americans and
foreigners alike, all in the name of terror.
Can you hear the approaching hoofbeats of the Apocalypse?

---------Conclusion----------------"He
humbled Himself." Philippians 2:8
Jesus is the great teacher of lowliness of heart. We need daily
to learn of Him. See the Master taking a towel and washing His disciples'
feet! Follower of Christ, wilt thou not humble thyself? See Him as the Servant
of servants, and surely thou canst not be proud! Is not this sentence the
compendium of His biography, "He humbled Himself"? Was He not on
earth always stripping off first one robe of honour and then another, till,
naked, He was fastened to the cross, and there did He not empty out His inmost
self, pouring out His life-blood, giving up for all of us, till they laid
Him penniless in a borrowed grave? How low was our dear Redeemer brought!
How then can we be proud? Stand at the foot of the cross, and count the purple
drops by which you have been cleansed; see the thorn-crown; mark His scourged
shoulders, still gushing with encrimsoned rills; see hands and feet given
up to the rough iron, and His whole self to mockery and scorn; see the bitterness,
and the pangs, and the throes of inward grief, showing themselves in His outward
frame; hear the thrilling shriek, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken
Me?"
And if you do not lie prostrate on the ground before that cross,
you have never seen it: if you are not humbled in the presence of Jesus, you
do not know Him. You were so lost that nothing could save you but the sacrifice
of God's only begotten. Think of that, and as Jesus stooped for you, bow yourself
in lowliness at His feet. A sense of Christ's amazing love to us has a greater
tendency to humble us than even a consciousness of our own guilt. May the
Lord bring us in contemplation to Calvary, then our position will no longer
be that of the pompous man of pride, but we shall take the humble place of
one who loves much because much has been forgiven him. Pride cannot live beneath
the cross. Let us sit there and learn our lesson, and then rise and carry
it into practice.
(C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning
and Evening Devotions")
