---------- Inspiration For the Week---"He that watereth shall be watered
also himself.” Proverbs 11:25
We are here taught the great lesson, that to get, we must give; that to accumulate, we must scatter; that to make ourselves happy, we must make others happy; and that in order to become spiritually vigorous, we must seek the spiritual good of others. In watering others, we are ourselves watered. How? Our efforts to be useful, bring out our powers for usefulness. We have latent talents and dormant faculties, which are brought to light by exercise. Our strength for labour is hidden even from ourselves, until we venture forth to fight the Lord’s battles, or to climb the mountains of difficulty. We do not know what tender sympathies we possess until we try to dry the widow’s tears, and soothe the orphan’s grief.
We often find in attempting to teach others, that we gain instruction for ourselves. Oh, what gracious lessons some of us have learned at sick beds! We went to teach the Scriptures, we came away blushing that we knew so little of them. In our converse with poor saints, we are taught the way of God more perfectly for ourselves and get a deeper insight into divine truth. So that watering others makes us humble. We discover how much grace there is where we had not looked for it; and how much the poor saint may outstrip us in knowledge. Our own comfort is also increased by our working for others. We endeavour to cheer them, and the consolation gladdens our own heart. Like the two men in the snow; one chafed the other’s limbs to keep him from dying, and in so doing kept his own blood in circulation, and saved his own life. The poor widow of Sarepta gave from her scanty store a supply for the prophet’s wants, and from that day she never again knew what want was. Give then, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and running over." [C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions; Emphasis added]
--------Focus:
Key Doctrinal Truth----------"Christian Epistemology"
EPISTEMOLOGY: The theory of science of the nature, grounds, and method of knowledge. It seeks to answer questions about the nature of knowledge and the means by which it is acquired. Despite the large number of schools of philosophy, epistemology breaks down into two categories, one consistently Christian (theistic) and the other basically anti theistic.
Christian Epistemology: A consistently Christian epistemology recognizes the ontological Trinity as the ultimate starting point of all knowledge. It sees all the universe as God's creation and holds that no fact of creation can be properly described without reference to God the Creator. In other words, every fact must be recognized as a created fact, or it cannot be properly recognized at all.
Thus, man's thinking cannot be truly creative, but analogical (see Analogy). If he is to speak truly, man must say what God has already said. The triune God Who has given us the Bible as His infallible revelation must be the ultimate starting point of all our knowledge. That is not to say that the Bible must become our source book for the study of, say, biochemistry or physics, but it is to say that all investigation into these and all other subjects must be interpreted in the light of the Bible. [Alan Cairns, "Dictionary of Theological Terms", p. 147, Emphasis added]

"Jesus The Outlaw: Wanted, Dead or Alive"
-- Few people think of the precious Son of God as an "outlaw"; yet,
that is exactly what Jesus was because He lived in a land whose laws and customs
had so changed from God's original plan. An "outlaw" is determined
by the prevailing laws and customs of the day; when the religious views change,
the concept of who is an "outlaw" is also changes. Jesus was an
outlaw because Israel had drifted so very far from God's original plan.
Today, our society has also drifted, so that genuine Christians will one day
be considered "outlaws".
The concepts within this book are excellent and should lead the reader into
a deeper walk with the Savior, as well as to properly prepare your heart,
soul, and mind for the difficulties lying directly ahead of us all. Hardcover,

"The Life of Abraham"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - In the gray dawn
of history, the first great Biblical character capturing our attention is
Abraham. He commands our attention as one who was great through his faith.
And that faith was at first but a silver thread, an insignificant straw --
not stronger than that which trembles in the humblest and weakest believer
today Sketching every period of Abraham's life, F.B. Meyer shows that, wherever
faith operates in the life of a believer, it is linked with Omnipotence. Genuine
Faith is the channel for Divine Communications. As faith is used according
to the promptings of the Divine Spirit, in obedience to Biblical commands,
God will cause that faith to grow and strengthen. Abraham experienced this
growth in his faith, making him the "Friend of God". And it will
grow in us. - hhttp://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=871
*
"The Life of David"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of David will remain
supremely important and fascinating as long as time remains. As the sweet
Psalmist of Israel, the ancestor of Jesus Christ, and the founder of a dynasty
of kings, David will always elicit our highest affections and command our
deepest respect. While sketching every period of David's life, F.B. Meyer
has concentrated this book upon those sections of Scripture which trace the
steps by which the shepherd boy became the mighty King of Israel. Learning
these early steps, readers will discover the keys to becoming "a man
after God's own heart". - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=872
*
"The Life of Joseph" - F.B.
Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of Joseph is the beautifully
exquisite story of one man who, though deeply wronged, rose from the darkest
pits to the position of Vice-Regal power. His life holds a special charm,
not only for its intrinsic beauty but also because of its vivid foreshadowing
of the life of Jesus Christ. Some scenes in Joseph's life that provide a stunning
rehearsal of the greatest drama ever enacted among men -- the drama of Jesus'
life, death, burial, and resurrection. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=873
*
"The Life of Moses"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The remarkable
life of Moses towers before us like a colossal statue hewn in stone. But a
closer study shows that, even though he possessed outstanding leadership qualities,
the marvelous outcome of his lifework was not because he had these qualities,
but because of his wonderful spiritual faith in the Living God. This faith
knit his soul to God, allowing him to do works which would have been impossible
without God pouring His power through Moses' faith. F.B. Meyer masterfully
presents Moses as a man whose character took years to form and whose life
literally became a channel through which God's Divine plan was fulfilled.
By following in Moses' steps, any believer today can become the "servant
of God". - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=876
*
"The Life of Paul"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of the Apostle Paul stands
as a colossal figure upon Biblical history, whose stamp has left an indelible,
eternal mark upon the Church, and upon the life of every believer. Who but
God can number the myriads of souls who have come into contact with Paul's
Holy Spirit-inspired words, only to become living epistles in their own life?
Painting a thoroughly Biblical portrait, F.B. Meyer challenges believers to
know and to love the apostle to the Gentiles, thereby personally experiencing
the love which animated Paul's life, plus the Divine strength which transformed
Paul. Declaring that the transforming power God poured through Paul's heart
is a model of what He desires in the heart of every Christian, Meyer's teaching
will strengthen your heart, bringing hope to all who genuinely believe. -
http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=874
*
"The Life of Peter" -
F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of Peter comes closer to us
than any of his fellow apostles. Drawn from the ranks of ordinary fishermen
in an obscure village on the Lake of Galilee, Peter is so human, so much like
one of us in his weaknesses. Strong, fiery, impulsive and self-assertive,
Peter could be consumed with passion one moment, then cold as the snows of
Lebanon the next. Only the Savior could discover the apostle in Simon Peter,
and His patience drew out the latent qualities of Peter's character. If the
Master could do so much for the flawed Peter, what might He do in our lives?

---------- This Weeks Hot News ----------
I.
No sooner had Hurricane Frances slogged ashore on the southeastern shore of
Florida than reports of a really monstrous hurricane dubbed "Ivan The
Terrible" reached our ears. Ivan has the potential to really devastate
Florida. Let us examine pertinent news stories:
A. Frances leaves Florida reeling in chaos, even though her winds weakened considerably and even though she was quickly degraded into a Tropical Storm. Watch closely as we see the significant types of damage Frances did to this state
NEWS BRIEF: "Frances leaves Florida reeling in chaos", Gulf News, September 7, 2004
"Weakened after its long rampage through Florida ... Hurricane Frances moved into the Gulf of Mexico early yesterday, leaving chaos in its wake. Storm-weary Floridians emerged from hurricane shelters as Tropical Storm Frances moved off the state's west coast after whipping off roofs, washing sailboats ashore and cutting power to nearly 6 million people. Frances virtually shut down the fourth-largest US state, home to 16 million people, for two days and promised damage not just to buildings but to the state's $53 billion tourism industry on the usually busy Labor Day holiday weekend ... The human toll, in lost housing and livelihoods, will also be great ... The $9.1 billion citrus industry, hard hit by Hurricane Charley last month, was likely to take another blow as the storm moved across the state's best growing regions as a hurricane."
Florida is really taking a hit from these hurricanes; some estimates of losses -- both insured and uninsured -- from Bonnie, Charley, and Frances -- are in the realm of $20 billion. If Hurricane Ivan hits Florida as a Category 5, with sustained winds of 160mph, these total losses could more than double. Further, the state's precious citrus industry is in real danger of being devastated; note the revelation that these storms have " moved across the state's best growing regions". And, now here comes Ivan, dubbed "Ivan The Terrible"
NEWS BRIEF: "'Ivan the Terrible' thrashes Caribbean, 23 dead: The hurricane hits Grenada hard; officials order some evacuations in Florida", By Ian James, The Associated Press, reprinted in the Salt Lake City Tribune, 09/10/2004
"ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada - Hurricane Ivan took aim Thursday at Jamaica and possibly Florida after killing 23 people in five countries and devastating Grenada ... Ivan, the deadliest hurricane to hit the Caribbean in a decade, pummeled Grenada, Barbados and other southern islands on Tuesday ... was still expected to pound Jamaica, where officials urged a half-million people to evacuate coastal and flood-prone areas ... U.S. officials ordered people to evacuate the Florida Keys after forecasters said the storm - the fourth major hurricane of a busy Atlantic season - could hit the island chain by Sunday ... The storm left its worse damage in Grenada where from the air it appeared that nearly every house had been ripped up ... of this country of 100,000 people..."
We heard radio reports that Ivan was tearing down structures specifically built to withstand Category 5 hurricanes, so this storm packs the potential for a tremendous amount of damage. Further, since the storm has shifted course ever so slightly in the past 24 hours - NOAA Storm Track -- it now appears that the eye of the storm will not pass over any significant portion of Cuba, thus lessening the chance that it will weaken as it passes over land.
We posted the Hurricane card of the Illuminati Card Game at the top of this
story, because we are convinced that these hurricanes are being used and steered
in such a manner as to cause many citizens to flee the state and to increase
Federal and State control over many aspects of Florida's economy and cultural
fabric. If the devastation from Ivan is truly catastrophic, you might even
see Martial Law declared and FEMA exercising control over at least a portion
of the state. Such an increase in control is certainly necessary if the Illuminati
is to ever implement their draconian "Re-Wilding" plan as spelled
out in the U.N. Biodiversity program If you have not yet read of this program,
or of the reality that scientists today can and do control storms like hurricanes,
please take a moment to read the articles in our Weather
Control and Weather Warfare Section.
We also would recommend you read the U.S. Air Force document in which they
"forecast" that they will own the weather and be able to use it
as a weapon against an enemy by 2025. This report is entitled, "Weather
as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025". This
program research paper was written in 1996, and it proves the intention of
the U.S. military to so completely control the weather by 2025 that they will
have a military edge over every potential enemy. However, remember what I
learned while serving in the U.S. Army Intelligence: whenever our government
admitted they were working on a super-secret project, or were about to achieve
a new capability, the reality was that they had already possessed that technology
for at least 10 years and quite possibly 20 years.
Once you understand this fact, you shall be able to understand why the United Nations passed a treaty in October, 1978, which prohibited nations from using Weather Modification techniques as weapons against other nations! The technology to create massive storms, rain in selected locations, droughts, and earthquakes was so far advanced in 1978 that the United Nations passed a treaty forbidding such weather modifications.
What is the objective of creating and steering these hurricanes? We explain the answer in NEWS1953. We also provide a detailed colored map created by the United Nations showing that about 66% of the entire country is planned to be set aside for little or no human habitation. The ultimate hurricane might just be planned and perhaps is not too far off. With my understanding of the reality of Weather Control and Weather Warfare, I never considered the massive storm described in the book, "The Coming Global Superstorm" (upon which the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow" was based) to be impossible. In fact, I firmly believe that this type of storm is possible given the exceedingly high level of weather expertise our scientists possess today. Just start noticing the number of articles in which traditional weathermen are fooled by the weather. i.e., the weather they predicted did not come to pass.
The ultimate hurricane may be not too far away. If this massive storm which wipes out a huge section of this country follows the "Day After Tomorrow" scenario, the early warning signs may be exceedingly cold levels noted within the storm and at various points throughout the world. If you hear of any such extremely cold weather, please let us know immediately.

II.
As the world struggled to cope with the tremendous loss of life in the Russian
school tragedy, enough anomalies began to appear to bring the official story
into question. Where have we heard of this before?
By now, everyone should know that terrorists officially identified as "Chechen Muslim Militants" invaded a public school at 9am local time on September 1, to take it over. Some attackers were reportedly wearing suicide-bomb belts. The number of hostages being held within the school varied widely, from 350 to over 1,000. The militants vowed that, if they were attacked, they would kill 50 hostages for every single fatality among their fighters.
Officials of the Russian government attempted to mediate with the hostages, trying to secure the release of at least some of the victims. Shortly after 1pm, September 3, a large explosion was heard; immediately, Russian military commandos invaded the school grounds to neutralize the Islamic militants and secure the safe release of as many victims as possible.
The moment the Russian commandos began their assault, the militant fighters began to shoot victims at will, killing many of them with shots in the back. Pre-set explosives ripped through various parts of the school. By the time the carnage stopped, 335 victims had been killed, including 156 children.
This horrific slaughter galvanized both the Putin government and the Russian citizen. Immediately, Russian officials determined that Chechen Islamic Fundamentalists were at fault and that drastic measures were needed. Numerous Mass Media outlets immediately began calling this event "Putin's 9/11", a curious designation because the same media was calling the twin aircraft sabotage of a few days earlier a "Russian 9/11". Oh, yes, for good measure, an official Russian source stated that Al Qaeda was behind this public school attack.
However, some interesting stories began to appear. We shall share some of them with you now, and will be issuing a major article next week.
NEWS BRIEF: "Minister unwilling to blame Chechens", The Guardian (London), September 8, 2004
"Not a single Chechen has been found among the dead gunmen who took children hostage in Beslan last week, Sergei Ivanov, Russia's defence minister, told the Guardian yesterday. 'About half of the 32 terrorists have been identified and we have not yet discovered anyone from Chechnya', he said ... The defence minister's remarks came as other statements from prosecutors carried on Russian television pinned the blame for the raid firmly on the Chechen rebel commander Shamil Basayev ..."
Now, isn't this interesting? After other officials had clearly implicated the Chechen rebels in this attack, this Defense Minister stated that not one fighter discovered thus far was actually from Chechnya. While the author of this article speculated that the Defense Minister had made this statement in order to deflect criticism that this attack was the result of Russia's policies in Chechnya, the rest of this article determinedly pursued the official storyline that Russian government had originally held that the fighters were Chechen militant Muslims.
A spokesman for the Maskhadov Chechen separatists clearly laid the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Russian government. Listen:
" 'The claims of President Maskhadov's involvement in the terrorist act are part of a well thought-out disinformation campaign, which also includes officials' statements about the presence of Arab and African fighters and foreign mercenaries among the terrorists', he said in a statement faxed to media." [Ibid.]
Then, the Chechens themselves dropped a bombshell, one that sounded a lot like the situation surrounding the 9/11 attacks.
NEWS BRIEF: "Chechen Separatists Say 'Third Force' Behind Terrorist Attacks", Mosnews.com, 9/2/2004
"Akhmed Zakayev, a special envoy to Chechen separatist leader Aslan Maskhadov has said that 'a third force that brought Russian President Vladimir Putin to power' is behind all the terrorist attacks committed in Russia over the past two weeks ... Chechen resistance forces led by Ichkeria President Aslan Maskhadov have nothing to do with the hostage crisis in North Ossetia ... Zakayev believes that the twin aircraft crash last week, the blast near Rizhskaya metro station on 31 August and today’s events in North Ossetia are links in the same chain and that 'the same power that wants to destabilize the situation in the North Caucasus region' is behind them."
What "Third Force" which brought Putin to power is this Chechen spokesman speaking of? We know that the Illuminati ensured that Putin would come to power, so is Akhmed Zakayev saying that the Illuminati is behind this outrageous public school disaster? Given the many media statements that these terrorist attacks constituted Russia's "9/11", this allegation from the Chechen separatist leader takes on greater meaning.
Certainly, Illuminist forces seeking to unify the world through the common "threat" called Islam would benefit from the horror and revulsion caused by this awful loss of innocent lives. Almost immediately, Putin declared that these attacks were an "act of war" that would force him to strengthen Russia's internal security. If this sounds like the rhetoric coming from President Bush following 9/11, you would be absolutely correct.
III. Putin surprised everyone when he borrowed a page from President Bush's anti-terror rule book. Listen:
NEWS BRIEF: "Russia Plans Pre-Emptive Strikes Against Global Terror Bases", Mosnews.com, 9/8/2004
"Russia is prepared to launch pre-emptive strikes on bases used for training militants anywhere in the world, a senior general said Wednesday, after a joint Russia-NATO meeting in Brussels denounced the latest spate of attacks on Russian soil that killed well over 400 people. 'As for launching pre-emptive strikes on terrorist bases, we will carry out all measures to liquidate terrorist bases in any region of the world', General Yuri Baluevsky was quoted by the Russian Information Agency Novosti as saying. 'However, this does not mean that we will launch nuclear strikes'.”
This is hot, surprising news, indeed! President Bush launched his invasion of Iraq because he had announced the year before his new doctrine of "Pre-Emptive Strikes" against terrorism wherever it was found throughout the world. Bush proceeded to further explain America's need to preemptively strike at terrorist nations and/or groups by saying that 9/11 had demonstrated the necessity of striking militant terrorist groups or nations who were about to launch another terrorist strike on us.
At the time, we strongly protested, saying that our intelligence had to be flawlessly accurate for such a preemptive strike policy to work. Were our intelligence services ever wrong in their assessment, we would have launched a strike for no reason, punishing people innocent of the charges against them. Of course, this scenario is exactly what occurred when we invaded Iraq, is it not? Even President Bush has recently been forced to admit that we have not been able to discover any Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), even though we have controlled Iraq for 17 months now.
Has this embarrassing reality forced President Bush and his ministers into rethinking their preemptive strike policy? By no means! In the past month, our officials have been issuing dire warnings about Iran's supposed nuclear development program, using much the same rhetoric employed against Saddam and his nonexistent WMD. Now, Russia has just declared that she has the right to preemptively strike terrorists anywhere in the world they find them, using all weapons at their disposal except nuclear weapons. What makes this so terribly ironic is that Russia led the fight against Bush's invasion of Iraq, an invasion totally based upon our President's own flawed preemptive strike policy.
We shall cover these elements, plus many others, in our major article due out next week. You will probably conclude that these terrible atrocities in Russia were, indeed, carried out by the same global forces which carried out our 9/11 attacks.
IV. Before the outrage of Russian citizens and of reasonable citizens the world over had died down, a Muslim cleric issued a statement which further enraged Westerners the world over. The dreaded "Clash of Civilizations" might just have gotten a little closer.
NEWS BRIEF: "Cleric supports targeting children", news.telegraph.co.uk, 9/5/2004
"An extremist Islamic cleric based in Britain said yesterday that he would support hostage-taking at British schools if carried out by terrorists with a just cause. Omar Bakri Mohammed, the spiritual leader of the extremist sect al-Muhajiroun, said that holding women and children hostage would be a reasonable course of action for a Muslim who has suffered under British rule. In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Mohammed said: 'If an Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism in Iraq'."
"As long as the Iraqi did not deliberately kill women and children, and they were killed in the crossfire, that would be okay."
For almost two years, Cutting Edge has been urgently warning that our policies in Afghanistan and Iraq are deliberately designed to spark an all-out global conflict between Islamic and Western forces. This strategy of deliberate incitement to war is called, "Blood In The Streets". You see, even though Muslims throughout the world seem prone to outbursts of extreme anger bordering on "rage" -- Palestinian Muslims have repeatedly declared entire days as "Days of Rage" -- their armed forces are totally ill prepared to take on Western military forces. In fact, such a conflict would result in unbelievable carnage in the Muslim forces with very little loss amongst Western forces. Key moderate and militant Muslim leaders understand this fact quite well, which is why they are going to such lengths to avoid a set-piece standard battle with our forces. Guerilla warfare and asymmetric warfare is the preferred tactic.
However, there probably is a line in the minds of both Muslims and Westerners that, once crossed, will result in all-out global warfare. This carnage in Russian public schools may very well push this conflict closer to reality, possibly setting up a final disastrous action guaranteed to start a war, i.e., the deliberate destruction of a key Muslim mosque, like the Dome of the Rock in Israel. When that Muslim temple goes down, the entire world will be engulfed in the flames of World War III.
We have written much about this "Blood In The Streets" strategy. Once you understand this strategy, you will better understand many of our actions in Iraq, especially the torture and sexual humiliation scandal unfolding in American military courts right now.
To read our five articles on the "Blood In The Streets", just click on the title, above. Your understanding of what is occurring in the Middle East and in our military court system will be greatly enhanced.
V. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld last week confirmed Cutting Edge analysis that our forces have lost certain key cities in Iraq to insurgent control!
In our newsletters for the last two weeks, we reported that the deal by which "peace" was achieved in Falluja and Najaf in effect handed over control of these cities to a combination of a very weak Iraqi police and a very strong Iraqi insurgency. The same situation seems to be occurring in Samarra. The net result is that American forces are not allowed in these two significant cities. We postulated then that, if this trend continues, American forces might lose control of all Iraq except for the major roads.
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld confirmed this analysis last week. The very fact that he used the word, "retake" was both shocking and informative.
Listen:
NEWS BRIEF: "Rumsfeld Says Iraqis Will Retake Cities", by Robert Burns, AP Military Writer, Newsday.com, September 7, 2004
"WASHINGTON -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday he is confident the interim Iraqi government will find a way to retake cities now in the hands of insurgents ... Rumsfeld said the war in Iraq has not created more terrorists there, but he also cautioned that the country needs a more capable security force of its own to eventually defeat the insurgents. He said interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi understands the threat from continued instability.
" 'The prime minister and his team fully understand that it is important that there not to be areas in that country that are controlled by terrorists', he said. Later he added, 'For their country to succeed, they simply cannot over a sustained period of time have areas that are under the control of people who are violently opposed to that government'. He was referring to major cities like Falluja and Samarra, where neither U.S. forces nor the Iraqi government are in control."
