---------- Inspiration For the Week----------"Sufficient Grace for the Perfect Time"

"If you fear failing the Lord in the day of severe testing, your fear is groundless, for you are reasoning from the wrong side of grace. To suffering people, God gives grace to suffer; to dying people, He gives grace to die. It is because you are neither suffering nor dying that you do not yet have the grace that you would need if you were. Be assured that the Lord will support you in the very hour you need Him. We must not give glory to the martyrs who died courageously and honored God with their parting sighs. They were simple Christians who were supplied from the Lord in their hour of testing. All our springs are in the Lord, and He will meet our need when the time is perfect."

What reassurance! Brother Miller is speaking God’s Truth when he says that God will provide exactly the right amount of Grace to see us successfully through the trial, but will provide this Grace only at that instant when we need it! Not before! Brother Miller then looked to the Apostle Paul for enlightenment.

"Every time he required more grace, more grace was supplied. If you would have candidly spoken with Paul in his prison cell as he waited for the word of his possible execution, I believe he would have said something like this: ‘I am naturally as chicken-hearted as you are when it comes to suffering for Jesus. I cannot imagine that I will do well when that time comes. But I don’t live by what I imagine; I live by what I know. Although I do not have what it takes, I do have, living in my heart, Who it takes. He can create in me all I need to support me in that hour. I fully expect He will provide all-sufficient grace to enable me to bear all things victoriously. The only thing I have for the present moment is expectation and hope. Suitable grace to honor Jesus will surely be granted when it is needed, and not before. We must not reason on the wrong side of grace. The Lord does not portion grace to us before it is needed. The greater the need, the greater the Grace will be." ["God’s Dawn For Every Darkness: Morning-Fresh Glimpses Into His Gracious Heart", by Brother Ed Miller, p. 95-6]

Now, we realize how foolish we are to worry that we do not have this grace right now, before the time of testing begins. Once our testing begins, we shall have all the grace, and all the power, from the Holy Spirit to be able to go through the trial in a manner that would glorify our beloved Jesus!

---------- Pertinent Articles ----------"National Treasure" Movie - Analysis

Freemasonry's National Heritage Story of the United States of America, As Seen Through The Eyes of Our Founding Fathers

Bottom Line Communication of "National Treasure" -- Freemasons originating from the line of the occultic Knights Templar were responsible for the founding of America. It was their intent to establish a new nation on the same basis as Ancient Egypt was established. Our National Heritage is Ancient Egypt.

This same Ancient Egyptian Mysteries religion was cursed by Almighty God and destroyed after He led Moses and Israel out of bondage. But, this is America's Religious and Cultural Heritage, just as our Masonic Founding Fathers intended. This movie is a must-see for everyone who believes the half-truth that our National Heritage is only Godly; truth is, we have a Godly Heritage as one side of a coin, but we have an ungodly Heritage as the other side of the coin.

End of the Age occult plan for Freemasonry: At the end of the preparatory period leading to the New World Order, Freemasons are to take the lead in "familiarising the general public with the nature of the Mysteries"! "("Externalisation of the Hierarchy", by Alice A. Bailey, House of Theosophy, As Channeled Through Her by the Demon, "Master D.K., p. 514).

* "SKULL & BONES SYMBOL IS FINALLY UNDERSTOOD! IT IS A "MAGICAL SYMBOL" HIDING A MOST IMPORTANT INNER NUMERIC MEANING --- 666": Using the method of numeric calculation utilized by all occultists, we can now reveal that the Skull & Bones logo is a typical "Magical Symbol" whose inner meaning is "666". Once and for all, we have concrete, public evidence that Skull & Bones is the Black Magick secret society serving Satan and striving to produce Antichrist -- just as we have been saying all along. -- ../news/n1980.cfm

---------- Bookstore Resource Update ---------- At long last: "Megiddo II" Is Here!

* "Megiddo II -- The New Age: Foundation of the New World Order -- Megiddo II explores the New Age Movement in a unique manner, proving that the current drive to the New World Order originated in what today is called "New Age". But, this study reveals that the "New Age" plans and mindset began during the Revolutionary War era. After tracing Christian influence back to 1620, this video explores the rapid manner in which our earliest Christian influences quickly became eroded.

New Age doctrines were taught by such original demonic channelers as Madame Blavatsky (House of Theosophy), Aleister Crowley (Most Powerful Satanist of his time), and Adolf Hitler. Modern day channelers are also revealed: Shirley MacLean, Hillary Clinton, David Koresch, Jim Jones. Hear the following people declare that man can strive to be gods: Paul Crouch of TBN, Kenneth Copeland. Hear Billy Graham state that all people will be saved, even those who have never heard of Jesus or His Salvation.

Most interesting -- and chilling -- aspect of this video is the original footage shot of the Georgia Guidestones. This New Age monument to the gods contains an inscription which states that the final population goal is 500 million people on the entire earth, a goal which means that almost 6 billion people must die.

Finding Scientific Reasons For Your Christian Faith

* "God The Master Mathematician", by Dr. Hutchings - Book -- The Bible is the most numerically constructed book in the world! Many early church fathers, ministers, and theologians wrote of the complex mathematical designs in Scripture, proving that only a Master Mathematician could have directed this numerical construction. The fact that the 66 books of the Bible, written over a period of 1,600 years by 40 or more writers, most not having preceding or succeeding books, yet continuing the amazing mathematical patterns, proves that a Master Mathematician was in charge. This book will not drown you in math or technical details, but is written simply to demonstrate that the Master Mathematician who inspired the Scriptures is the same Lord Jesus Christ Who is able to save to the uttermost all who come to HIm in faith. If you have a skeptical friend, he or she needs this book!

 * "Incredible Creatures III" -- DVD - VHS - The Incredible Creatures That Defy Evolution III Series enters the fascinating world of animals to reveal sophisticated and complex designs that shake the traditional foundations of evolutionary theory. This video proves that animal designs can only be attributed to a creator and cannot possibly be explained by Evolution. You will be inspired to look more closely at the world around you, as proof positive of a Biblical Creator God.

Have you ever wondered? 1) What kind of bird can kill a lion with a single kick? 2) How some dogs can know a storm is brewing before it appears, or can sense when their masters are about to experience a seizure? 3) Which creature perplexes scientists because of its amazing ability to heal itself, even when it sustains horrendous injuries. 4) How Emperor Penguins can go two and a half months without eating or drinking?

God really did create His universe and the creatures therein so that this Scripture might be fulfilled: "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise." [1 Cor 1:27]

* "The Search For The Real Mt. Sinai" - DVD - Two explorers take an incredible expedition into the blistering Arabian Desert to discover what many scholars believe to be one of the greatest discoveries in history -- the real Mount Sinai, the holy mountain on which God gave Moses the Ten Commandments
This DVD tells their amazing story. How they crawled into forbidden military installations; how they used night vision goggles to avoid being detected as they pursued their mission; how they discovered a dozen significant remnants still remaining at the site. These explorers embarked upon a journey which would change their lives forever, finding remarkable evidence that confirms the Bible as being historically accurate. This exciting footage literally leaps off the screen to document a story you'll never forget.

"What could possibly upstage the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls? Maybe the news that Mount Sinai has been found." (Ian Reed, Reuters News Agency)

* "The Indestructible Book" - DVD - The Scriptures were banned, burned, and ridiculed by rulers of every age, from Roman emperors to English monarchs. Many who dared to read and share the Word met horrible deaths. Yet God's truth could not be crushed. This four-volume video commentary by Ken Connolly is a spectacular sweep of history, filmed on location in Israel, Europe, Britain, and the U.S.

Retrace the Historic Path of God's Word from Mt. Sinai to Plymouth Rock. Meet the scholars, teachers, and missionaries whose passionate faith preserved the Indestructible Book.

* "The Exodus Revealed - New Evidence!" - DVD - VHS - New evidence is now revealed that validates the Biblical record in Exodus of the destruction of the mighty Egyptian Army in the Red Sea! During the Exodus, this most famous of all Old Testament miracles took place. More than 3,000 years have passed since Moses led two million Israelites out of Egyptian bondage and into the freedom to be enjoyed in the Promised Land.

"The Exodus Revealed" follows the footsteps of the children of Israel on an unforgettable journey of discovery. This journey reveals physical evidence for the Exodus, including: 1) Remains of 3,800-year-old Hebrew settlements in Egypt's Nile River Delta; 2) Egyptian records of the Israelite's bondage under Pharaoh; 3) The precise escape route they likely followed to freedom; 4) Their crossing site on the shore of the Red Sea; 5) The location of Mt. Sinai.

The "Exodus Revealed" promises to be one of the most captivating video stories ever told. In these terribly Apostate times, it is exciting to realize that God's Word is now validated by physical evidence!

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

Behold A Pale HorseI. American soldiers and citizens alike got a really candid look inside the heart of Defense Secretary Rumsfeld last week as he spoke to a group of soldiers. Were you paying attention?

NEWS BRIEF: "Rumsfeld Hears Gripes From GIs in Kuwait", Yahoo News, December 8, 2004

"CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait - In a rare public airing of grievances, disgruntled soldiers complained to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Wednesday about long deployments and a lack of armored vehicles and other equipment ... Spc. Thomas Wilson had asked the defense secretary, 'Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles?' Shouts of approval and applause arose from the estimated 2,300 soldiers who had assembled to see Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld hesitated and asked Wilson to repeat his question.

"We do not have proper armored vehicles to carry with us north," Wilson, 31, of Ringgold, Ga., concluded after asking again."

Whenever a government official as high-ranking as Defense Secretary allows himself to go before American soldiers near a combat zone, he is doing so to pump up the morale of the soldiers and to create TV sound-bites which will be fed to the public back home, assuring them that our government is doing everything it can to protect the lives and well-being of their loved ones in the war zone. On the other hand, the average soldier is ususally going to be sufficiently intimidated by the presence of a Defense Secretary that they will not usually ask hard questions.

These two factors combine to make this story all the more remarkable, and enormously revealing as to the attitude of our leaders toward our soldiers and as to the desperate condition into which our soldiers feel they have thrust. Let us stop right here, before going on, to study what we have just learned by this paragraph:

1) American troops feel they are not being adequately equipped to go into battle. You can tell this is the case from two factors: a) This soldier was bold enough to ask the question to the Defense Secretary himself! Much is now being made in Republican -controlled Mass Media about the fact that an American embedded reporter admitted he prompted this G.I. to ask the question, implication being that Rumsfeld was deliberately "set up". Nonsense. Since I was in the Army for 3 1/2 years, I can tell you exactly what happened. The embedded reporter heard the gripes and fears of these servicemen nearly every day; therefore, when he heard that the Defense Secretary was going to take questions from this group, he sought out one soldier brave enough to stand up to ask the hard question, even going so far as to phrase the question exactly. This does not mean that Rumsfeld was "set up"; it just means that a reporter framed the question so the G.I. would have the courage to stand up and ask the hard question. b) The "shouts of approval and applause" which arose from the "estimated 2,300 soldiers who had assembled to see Rumsfeld" tells you that the question posed struck a deep chord of sympathetic response from the vast majority of these soldiers. They were just glad that someone had the manly courage to stand up and demand an answer to such a life-and-death issue.

2) American troops are actually scrounging through "local landfills" looking for "scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass" in order to properly protect their vehicles as they ride into combat? Why should they have to depend upon "compromised ballistic glass" when this country has the capability to provide them with virgin ballistic glass? We are spending tens of billions of dollars annually on this war, including $10 billion to Cheney's old company, Haliburton, and yet we cannot provide our soldiers with the minimum material they feel they need to protect their lives?

3) Troops are not only concerned about lack of armor for their vehicles, they feel they are lacking "other equipment" as well.

What followed next is THE REAL story, for it reveals the lack of compassion for our troops in the hearts of our current leaders. Rumsfeld's answer was a blunt, "in your face" put-down.

"You go to war with the Army you have," Rumsfeld replied, "not the Army you might want or wish to have." (Ibid.)

I wish I could have been a "fly on the ceiling" when Rumsfeld uttered this harsh response. The soldiers had to have been simply stunned into silence. Not only did they not get their question answered, they were put down badly -- as an entire unit.

Evidently, Rumsfeld thought about what he said and how he said it, for he then added to his statement -- lying as it turned out.

"Rumsfeld said the Army was sparing no expense or effort to acquire as many Humvees and other vehicles with extra armor as it can." (Ibid.)

Thus, the Defense Secretary put the onus squarely back on the manufacturers, saying the civilian and military leadership had done everything they could do, but could not move the manufacturers along more quickly. This Yahoo article then continued along this same vein.

"U.S. soldiers and Marines in Iraq are killed or maimed by roadside bombs almost daily. Adding armor protection to Humvees and other vehicles that normally are not used in direct combat has been a priority for the Army, but manufacturers have not been able to keep up with the demand." (Ibid.)

However, American manufacturers were quick to call this claim a lie:

NEWS BRIEF: "Armor Holdings Could Boost Humvee Armor Output 22%", Bloomberg.com News and Commentary, December 9, 2004

"Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Armor Holdings Inc., the sole supplier of protective plates for the Humvee military vehicles used in Iraq, said it could increase output by as much as 22 percent per month with no investment and is awaiting an order from the Army. U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said yesterday the Army was working as fast as it can and supply is dictated by 'a matter of physics, not a matter of money'. Jacksonville, Florida-based Armor Holdings last month told the Army it could add armor to as many as 550 of the trucks a month, up from 450 vehicles now, Robert Mecredy, president of the company's aerospace and defense group said in a telephone interview today. 'We're prepared to build 50 to 100 vehicles more per month', Mecredy said in the interview. 'I've told the customer that and I stand ready to do that'.''

This is the true face of the Army, a face I saw all too constantly when I served during the Vietnam War era. Civilian and Pentagon brass really and truly care nothing for the troops in the field, their constant Public Relations campaign notwithstanding. If this leadership really cared about the troops in the field, they would not have armed them with Depleted Uranium ( D.U.) weapons, which are going to kill the vast majority of the troops now serving in-theater. Compared to the D.U. disaster, properly arming our Humvees and other vehicles is small potatoes.

However, now you know that our manufacturer could easily and quickly produce more armored vehicles and that they only reason they have not done so is that the Pentagon has not sent them a purchase order! Once again, we catch one of our top leaders boldly lying to the troops. For the record, the Public Relations people quickly moved into "containment mode" and issued a statement from President Bush in which he assured both the soldiers in the Iraqi theater and loved ones back home that officials of his administration really cared for the soldiers and were doing everything they could to address this issue.

Since President Bush is an unrepentant Illuminist Skull & Bones, his attitude -- and the attituded of his officials -- toward the troops and toward the loved ones back home is exactly as New Age author, Bill Cooper describes:

The true purpose of this Iraq War is simply to start World War III with the Islamic world and to spread uranium dust all throughout the Middle East. As in Vietnam, our strategy from the outset has been to not win this war, as we have been saying since March, 2003, when we invaded Iraq.

II. American soldiers fighting in Iraq are suffering the highest rate of extreme disabling injuries of any war in history. After reading this story, you will comprehend why our soldiers were so concerned that they voiced their disapproval directly to our Secretary of Defense.

NEWS BRIEF: "Combat doctors save life over limb: U.S. surgeons stunned by horrific injuries incurred by troops fighting in Iraq", By Katarina Kratovac / Associated Press, reprinted in Detroit News, December 9, 2004

"NEAR FALLUJAH, Iraq -- Doctors with Bravo Surgical Company -- known as the 'Cheaters of Death' -- fight their own quiet battles every day against the horrifying wounds of war. 'These injuries we never see at home', said one of the surgeons ... For every American soldier killed in Iraq, nine others have been wounded and survived -- the highest rate of any war in U.S. history ... some soldiers and Marines have had faces, arms and legs blown off and are returning home badly maimed. But they have survived due, in part, to armor-like vests and fast treatment from doctors on the move with surgical kits in backpacks ... Dr. Michael Mazurek, an orthopedic surgeon and trauma specialist from Philadelphia, said he has seen 'some horrific injuries' in the 90 days since coming to Iraq. "The tremendous force of the IED can devastate a torso," he says, referring to a roadside bomb."

Now, can you see why these American soldiers listening to Rumsfeld were so concerned? They knew this statistic -- that the tactics of the insurgency was severely wounding many American soldiers, many of them dying and being wounded in roadside bombs and in rocket-propelled grenade attacks against lightly-armored Humvees. This concern over not being properly prepared for the war they were being asked to fight is what prompted 23 Army reservists to refuse a mission transporting fuel along a dangerous road in Iraq. Not only were their vehicles not properly armored, but they were not offered an armed military escort through this dangerous territory.

This next segment of news illustrates just how much danger our troops are in while fighting this war:

""This is unprecedented. People who lose not just one but two or three extremities are people who just have not survived in the past', said Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston ... The journal also published a five-page spread of 21 military photographs that graphically depict the horrific injuries and conditions under which these modern-day MASH surgeons operate ... This war is producing unique injuries -- less lethal but more traumatic," he said.

"In one traumatic case, Gawande tells of an airman who lost both legs, his right hand and part of his face. 'How he and others like him will be able to live and function remains an open question', Gawande writes." (Ibid,)

Thus, while more of the wounded are surviving, more are coming home with severe, life-long amputations, with which they will struggle for the rest of their lives. The terrible reality is that these men are fighting a war launched on a series of lies and misrepresentations, from President Bush on down. Even though officials from Bush downwards have admitted there was no WMD in Iraq, and even though the President's own commissions have admitted there is no evidence that Saddam was ever cooperating with Osama bin Laden, we constantly hear that our brave boys are fighting against "the enemy" in order to ensure the survival of our way of life and our freedoms.

The reality is once again to be found in completely the opposite direction -- the real threat to our way of life and to our liberties comes from legislation like Patriot Acts I and II and from the politicians on both sides of the aisle who have enacted them, solely because all elective governments must be brought down if the Illuminist Masonic Christ is ever to appear.

How upset are some American troops right now in Iraq? This story about American soldiers being so upset about not getting proper equipment may be just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. With this thought in mind, this next story makes a lot more sense.

NEWS BRIEF: "U.S. deserter numbers reach 5,500", Big News Network.com, Saturday 11th December, 2004

"Since the war started in Iraq, the Pentagon says 5,500 U.S. soldiers have deserted, with some of them seeking refugee status in Canada, CBS reported Thursday ... Meanwhile, other soldiers who were denied conscientious objector status are using the Internet to locate Vietnam-era resisters who assist and even drive objectors to Canada, CBS said."

III. The war in Iraq is getting so serious that numerous highly ranking military officials have suddenly weighed in strongly against the President's policies. The CIA has just issued another somber assessment of the war, while one major news source is even suggesting we win the war by flattening Iraq "like a pancake".

NEWS BRIEF: "7 Retired Top US Military: Bush Screwed Up In Iraq - "It's a huge strategic disaster, and it will only get worse.", By Naomi Klein, The Guardian - UK, 12-6-4, reprinted in Rense.com

"The nineteen months since the war in Iraq began, some of the most outspoken critics of President Bush's plan of attack have come from a group that should have been the most supportive: retired senior military leaders ... they all agreed on one thing: Bush screwed up.

* Adam. Transfixed Turner NATO Allied commander for Southern Europe, 1975-77 CIA Director, 1977-81: "We are in a real mess. There are eighty-seven attacks on Americans every day, and our people in Baghdad can't even leave the International Zone without being heavily armored ... We have lost the support of the Iraqi people who were glad to see Saddam go. But they are not glad to see an outside force come in ... I am very frustrated ... All in all, Iraq is a failure of monumental proportions."

* LTV. Gen. William Sodom Director of the National Security Agency, 1985-88: "It's a huge strategic disaster, and it will only get worse. The sooner we leave, the less the damage ... This is the way we were fighting in Vietnam ... The idea of creating a constitutional state in a short amount of time is a joke. It will take ten to fifteen years, and that is if we want to kill ten percent of the population."

* Gen. Merrill 'Tony' Mc Peak Air Force Chief of Staff, 1990-94: "We have a force in Iraq that's much too small to stabilize the situation. It's about half the size, or maybe even a third, of what we need ... we are also sustaining gunshot wounds, when, before, we'd mostly been seeing massive trauma from remotely detonated charges. This means the other side is standing and fighting in a way that describes a more dangerous phase of the conflict."

When you closely follow this conflict, by daily reviewing both American and foreign news sources, you do get the feeling that this conflict has entered a new, more dangerous phase. A Cutting Edge subscriber phoned me a couple weeks ago to tell me that he had talked to a friend who had been assigned to the Pentagon. This friend told him that a "Tet Offensive" style of attack is expected soon.

General McPeak then offered a parallel to Vietnam that most people have not considered before. "The American people were told that to win the Cold War we had to win Vietnam. But we now know that Vietnam was not only a diversion from winning the Cold War but probably delayed our winning it and made it cost more to win. Iraq is a diversion to the war on terror in exactly the same way Vietnam was a diversion to the Cold War."

President Bush made this point a centerpiece to his re-election campaign: The Iraq War is central to our global "War On Terror". General McPeak thinks otherwise and he is in a position to offer a skilled, informed expert opinion. Of course, this Iraq War is not central to any "War On Terror", simply because the terror war was spun out of the attacks on 9/11 which we now know were planned at least as far back as 1995, and were carried out by the Illuminati desiring an excuse to launch these wars in the Middle East and to draft dictatorial domestic laws which, when enacted, will reduce this nation to a severe police dictatorship.

* Gen. Anthony Zinni Commander in chief of the United States Central Command, 1997-2000: "When I was commander of CENTCOM, we had a plan for an invasion of Iraq, and it had specific numbers in it. We wanted to go in there with 350,000 to 380,000 troops ... when we went in we used only 140,000 troops, even though General Eric Shinseki, the army commander, asked for the original number .... I saw the intelligence right up to the day of the war, and I did not see any imminent threat there. If anything, Saddam was coming apart. The sanctions were working. The containment was working. He had a hollow military, as we saw. If he had weapons of mass destruction, it was leftover stuff -- artillery shells and rocket rounds. He didn't have the delivery systems."

Not only were the United Nations arms inspectors telling the world that this was the case, but Cutting Edge was sounding this type of warning nearly every day in our Daily News Updates, prior to the invasion. We ran articles in which Saddam's army was described as "hollow" and in which he was shown not to have delivery vehicles even if he did have nuclear warheads (which we now knew he did not). Yet, the American people allowed this invasion and still are not holding President Bush and his Administration accountable. As New Age author, and former member of US Naval Intelligence, Bill Cooper said over and over:

* Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, 1997-2000: "Rumsfeld was profoundly in the dark. I think he really didn't understand what he was doing. He miscalculated the kind of war it was and he miscalculated the interpretation of U.S. behavior by the Iraqi people. They felt they had been invaded. They did not see this as a liberation ... So what do we do? I think it would be very irresponsible for us to simply pull out. It sounds like a very simple solution, but it would have some complexity and danger attached. Still, Iraq is a blood bath, and we need to be dealing with this in a much more sophisticated way than the cowboy named Bush."

* Gen. Wesley Clark NATO supreme Allied commander for Europe, 1997-2000: "Have you seen an American strategic blunder this large? The answer is: not in fifty years. I can't imagine when the last one was. And it's not just about troop strength. I mean, you will fail if you don't have enough troops, but simply adding troops won't make you succeed."

* Adm. William Crowe Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 1985-89: "We screwed up. We were intent on a quick victory with smaller forces, and we felt if we had a military victory everything else would fall in place. We would be viewed not as occupiers but as victors. We would draw down to 30,000 people within the first sixty days. All of this was sheer nonsense ... There is not a very good answer for what to do next. We've pulled out of several places without achieving our objectives, and every time we predicted the end of Western civilization, which it was not ... We left Korea ... We left Vietnam ... We could have the same thing happen this time in Iraq. If we walk away, we are still the number-one superpower in the world ... Weighing the good against the bad, we have got to get out."

Is the Bush Administration going to follow this advice? Not on your life, if the following story means what it says:

NEWS BRIEF: "Army says troops will stay in Iraq until 2008", The Scotsman, Monday, 6 December 2004

"THOUSANDS of British troops will have to remain in Iraq until at least 2008 - two years later than the government intended ... The planned extension in deployment has been prompted by the continuing Iraqi insurgency and the inability of local security forces to control the country without US and British troops."

Even the CIA admitted that the war situation looked bleak right now:

NEWS BRIEF: "2 C.I.A. Reports Offer Warnings on Iraq's Path", by Douglas Jehl, The New York Times, December 7, 2004

"WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 - A classified cable sent by the Central Intelligence Agency's station chief in Baghdad has warned that the situation in Iraq is deteriorating and may not rebound any time soon, according to government officials. The cable, sent late last month as the officer ended a yearlong tour, presented a bleak assessment on matters of politics, economics and security, the officials said. They said its basic conclusions had been echoed in briefings presented by a senior C.I.A. official who recently visited Iraq ... Together, the appraisals, which follow several other such warnings from officials in Washington and in the field, were much more pessimistic than the public picture being offered by the Bush administration ... The cable was sent to C.I.A. headquarters after American forces completed what military commanders have described as a significant victory, with the retaking of Falluja, a principal base of the Iraqi insurgency, in mid-November."

Therefore, you can disregard all those pro-Administration articles telling us how great a victory we had just scored against Fallujah. While we caused great devastation to the city and grievous loss of life, the insurgency was not terribly hurt and has survived to fight another day in other places. As we discovered to our horror in Vietnam, it is nearly impossible for a conventional force using conventional tactics to defeat a determined, armed, skilled guerilla force who has great support from the civilian population.

VHS or DVD IV. Speaking of Bush Administration duplicity, CFR member, Selig Harrison, suddenly accused President Bush of lying in the same manner about North Korea's nuclear program as he did about Saddam's nuclear capabilities. We have previously noted that Bush Administration officials are using the same tactics trying to justify an attack on the Iranian supposed nuclear program as they used against Saddam. Is Bush lying about the capabilities of ALL his original "Axis of Evil Nations" in order to justify an attack against them?

NEWS BRIEF: "US Bush manipulated North Korea intelligence like he did in Iraq: US expert", (AFP), Khaleeji Times, (United Arab Emirates) 10 December 2004

"BEIJING - The United States manipulated intelligence on North Korea’s nuclear program in a similar fashion to its use of weapons of mass destruction to justify the war on Iraq ...'Relying on sketchy data, the Bush administration presented a worst-case scenario as an incontrovertible truth and distorted its intelligence on North Korea (much as it did in Iraq), seriously exaggerating the danger that Pyongyang is secretly making uranium-based nuclear weapons', Selig Harrison said in Foreign Affairs magazine."

The fact that Harrison is charging Bush with lying about North Korea just as he lied about Iraq's WMD is not the real story here. The real story is that this charge is leveled by a fellow Illuminist whose ultimate goal is identical to President Bush's, i.e., to so globalize the world's governments, economies, and religions that Antichrist can arise. That is the goal of all these men.

Therefore, when you see one Illuminist attacking the other, you are witnessing the outgrowth of a particular planned "Dialectic Struggle" designed to further the plan along under the guise of a struggle between the two parties. In this instance, Selig Harrison is a member of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) while the Foreign Affair Magazine is one of the premier publications of the CFR.

We had noted the beginning of a CFR-led plan to so severely criticize President Bush beginning in February, 2004, and we wondered if the plan was to so discredit President Bush that he and his policies and his Christian supporters could be permanently taken down. We wrote an article on this subject, NEWS1929, in which we demonstrated that, if he is thoroughly discredited, he could bring into disrepute the only two enemies the Illuminati admits to having: National Sovereignty (Patriotism) and Fundamental Christianity. In this article, we naturally believed the logical outcome could be the 2004 Presidential election; since that proved not to be the planned outcome for this operation to discredit Bsuh, the world awaits the event(s) which will completely discredit President Bush, for both National Sovereignty and Fundamental Christianity are targeted for destruction.

Let us now return to Harrison's article in Foreign Affairs:

"Harrison, from the Washington-based Center for International Policy, chairs the Task Force on Korean Policy, a grouping of former senior US military officials, diplomats and Korean specialists. The Task Force, which includes a former joint chiefs of staff head and ex-US ambassadors, on Friday issued a report calling on the US immediately to back down on its insistence that North Korea come clean on its alleged uranium program. Instead, they should first negotiate the dismantling of Pyongyang’s plutonium facilities, it said." (Ibid.)

I have read this paragraph several times and can only conclude that the differences between President Bush and this "Center for International Policy" are tenuous at best and actually seem close to being identical. What is the difference between the Bush program of "coming clean on its alleged uranium program", and the Center's policy of "dismantling of Pyongyang’s plutonium facilities"? If anything, the Center's goal would ignore any atomic weapons which have already been created.

Still, this supposed difference is being touted as being so very significant that it literally could spell the difference between war and peace.

"Harrison said his claims were based on South Korean and Japanese intelligence sources who participated with the Central Intelligence Agency on the issue. He blames the US insistence on a uranium program for the stalling of six-party talks while Pyongyang moves closer to producing an atomic bomb with its plutonium program. The intelligence was manipulated for 'political purposes', he said in the magazine’s December 17 issue ... No concrete evidence of a uranium program has been presented publicly." (Ibid.)

When all is said and done, the original Illuminati Plan for the Korean Peninsula in the coming World War III will unfold:

Since daily news continues to be filled with dire warnings about North Korea's nuclear capability, you know that the world has entered in the "end of the period" in the Illuminati Plan. What is at the end of this period? The World War III which will produce their Masonic Christ!

V. Israeli Prime Minister Sharon and Liberal Labor's Peres apparently have cleared the last hurdle to the Unilateral Disengagement Plan as foreseen by the original Oslo Accords of 1993. This living proof of a major conspiracy in action continues to move along its pre-planned course in order to achieve its pre-planned goal.

It now appears that the separation of Jewish population from Palestinian is going to become reality -- sooner now rather than later.

NEWS BRIEF: "Sharon invites Peres to begin talks on Labor joining coalition", Haaretz News, December 10, 2004

"The Likud Central Committee on Thursday authorized Sharon to form a new government with Labor, Shas and United Torah Judaism, handing Sharon his first major victory after months of defeats in various party forums. The Likud convention .... approved it Thursday night by a majority of 62 percent to 38 percent, or 1,410 votes to 856. Turnout was high, with 77 percent of the convention's approximately 3,000 members voting. Among Likud MKs, the vote was 29-9 in favor of Sharon's proposal."

Now, Sharon and Peres can form their coveted National Unity Party, which should prove unshakable as the plan to separate the Jewish population from the Palestinians can now move into high gear. Sharon's victory in the conservative Likud Party special election is nothing short of remarkable, since Sharon had suffered defeat after defeat at the hands of the party faithful all during this year; a convincing majority of conservative party members had consistenly viewed the Unilateral Disengagement Plan as nothing more, nor less, than unilateral retreat, a massive reward to decades of Palestinian terror. Furthermore, astute Likud members viewed Sharon's Disengagement as the first step toward even more withdrawal, a point reinforced repeatedly the Sharon's Minister Olmert as he kept saying that more extensive withdrawals would "become necessary".

Nevertheless, Sharon's victory was complete this time around, prompting him to immediately plan substantive talks with Labor to nail down every single detail concerning the actual implementation of a Unity Government. Never before in Israel's history has a government been formed by the two major parties. Each previous government has seen a major party making the deals with smaller splinter parties necessary to form a majority in the Knesset; this is the Parliamentary way of governing.

An editorial from Haaretz News tells us just how miraculous and even improbable Sharon's victory was:

NEWS BRIEF: "Analysis: Sharon's holiday miracle still needs Peres", By Yossi Verter, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz News, 10 December 2004

"Ariel Sharon is the sort of person who makes miracles happen. In the saga of disengagement, having been left without a coalition and nearly without a party, he took the step of the gambler who had lost all his money in a series of bets and was left with a single chip. This he tossed to the least supporting forum, the Likud Central Committee, which has consistently brought him losses and humiliation. This time, the test was the most crucial of all and he won the pot ... Without Labor, Sharon knew that no disengagement plan could be implemented and he would have not a government. It was clear to Sharon that, without permission from his party, he would not be able to bring Labor into the government. It was also clear that only if the situation was very bad, near catastrophic, would he be able to rally the necessary support."

All throughout 2004, we could see Sharon making the point to his Likud Party opposition that, if they did not vote to give him the authority to unilaterally disengage, he was fully ready to either see his government brought down or to call early elections, something Likud most definitely dreaded. Many of them felt that Labor could easily win a new election, since Sharon's popularity had fallen so dramatically.

Surprisingly, Sharon's victory seems to have instantly deflated the official anti-disengagement faction.

NEWS BRIEF: "Anti-disengagement strategy collapses", Haaretz News. 10 December 2004

"Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's victory in the Likud convention destroyed the strategy adopted in recent months by almost all of the disengagement's opponents. They all assumed the right-wing pressure, both on the street and in the political arena, would lead to elections or a referendum before the disengagement ... For months, the anti-disengagement activists and Gush Katif settlers have prepared tens of thousands of volunteers for an unprecedented operation of visiting 1.2 million homes..."

Clearly, this grass-roots pressure did not succeed, mostly because Sharon knew the outcome was preplanned all along. No leader of the Illuminati ever enters into a major struggle unless the "fix is in". In this case, the "fix" was in as far back as 1993, when the Oslo Accords were signed by Prime Minister Rabin and Palestinian leader Arafat in the Rose Garden, with President Clinton beaming over the ceremony. As we stated in NEWS1911, Sharon is merely leading Israel into the land giveaway deceitfully promised the Palestinians in 1993. The Israelis are fully committed to separating Jewish population from Palestinian, and the Unilateral Disengagement Plan is the final round in this battle.

Now that Sharon is on the fast-track to carrying out his Disengagement Plan, the focus shifts to the settlers being uprooted and the IDF soldiers who will be carrying out the expulsion. Let us review stories on these issues:

NEWS BRIEF: "MK Hendel: Sharon Capable of Open-Fire Orders on Jews", Israel National News, 10 December 2004

"MK Hendel was then asked about his recent bombshell – namely, his feeling that Prime Minister Sharon is perfectly capable of giving an order to open fire on Jews who resist the security forces who come to evacuate them from their homes. Hendel explained: "Sharon has carried out this entire process in a dictatorial manner... and he won't have a problem giving such orders ... It is typical of his character ... No one can stop him; if the settlers dare to bother him – if thousands of them and their friends won't want to get on the trucks, or won’t want to load their dead onto the trucks, then he'll be capable of giving this order. I think that everyone who knows him knows that he is capable of giving such an order..."

Before you dismiss this rhetoric out of hand because it sounds too extreme, please bear in mind some of the following facts:

1) Sharon is Illuminist, so his heart is made of secret society stone.

2) Since this plan was created before 1993 when the Oslo Accords were introduced, Sharon is fully capable of taking any "dictatorial" steps needed

3) Sharon has been under indictment by the world community for alleged crimes against humanity committed in Lebanon in 1982 by soldiers under his command. Further, Sharon has been implicated in earlier crimes as this CounterPunch article written February 7, 2001, reveals. Sharon is quite capable of stern actions.

The settlers are quite aware of Sharon's stern character, so much so that they have agitated Ministers of the Knesset on both sides of the aisle, arguing that Sharon's planned actions against settlers refusing evacuation are much too severe.

NEWS BRIEF: "Right, Left MKs agree: Penalties for resisting pullout are too severe", by Dan Izenberg, The Jerusalem Post, December 7, 2004

"Right-wing and left-wing MKs banded together on Tuesday to criticize the punishment clause of the disengagement implementation bill, which calls for a sentence of up to three years in jail for anyone who resists the Gaza withdrawal. 'A punishment of three years is too heavy', said Shinui MK Reshef Cheyne. 'One year is more than enough'."

Can you believe this nonsense? "One year (in jail) is more than enough'." With this kind of friends, who needs enemies? To understand where the settlers' mindset is, you must understand two facts: 1) These settlers are mostly deeply religious and believe that God gave all the land of Israel to His people, where they would live forever; furthermore, these settlers literally believed Old Testament promises that, once God brought Israel back to her land, He would never allow them to be forced out of the land again, and would give them all the land He promised Abraham (NEWS1010). 2) Ariel Sharon was a mighty proponent of establishing these very settlements he has now marked for destruction, and whose people he is threatening with three years jail.

Let us examine this legal threat a little more closely:

"According to Paragraph 27 of the government's bill, a maximum three-year jail sentence would be meted out to any Israeli who enters an area designated for evacuation that has been declared off-limits, enters an area after it has been evacuated, disobeys an order to leave an area designated for evacuation, participates in demonstrations preventing the implementation of the bill, interferes with security forces acting in accordance with the bill, or who breaches a structure sealed by the army. The bill also calls for a sentence of up to five years if some of the above actions endanger life or if the resister is armed ... Assistant State Attorney Malchiel Blass told the committee that the stiff punishments are meant to emphasize that the disengagement issue is not a routine matter."

As you can see, a settler who decides to resist being thrown out of his house and his community opens himself up for some very serious legal consequences. I believe some of these settlers will revert to force to keep their homes and might even shoot at fellow Israelites, the IDF soldiers coming to evict him. Of course, Sharon and his ilk have anticipated this possibility, which is why he has placed the provision in this bill that an armed resister could receive five years prison.

Listen to a supporter of the settlers complain about this severe bill:

"Benny Elon (National Union Party) told the committee that the government had drafted the penalty section 'with cynicism and violence. We have here an attempt to deter and intimidate and create a situation which has nothing to do with reality. The bill is not limited to a specific region, particularly regarding individuals who interfere with the evacuation. Thus, any motorist anywhere in the country who blocks or slows down the evacuation move will be arrested... There are [already] enough laws to facilitate implementation of the evacuation."

As Sharon has stated so many times before, this Unilateral Disengagement WILL occur, no matter how many Israelites and how many of their representatives oppose it. After all was said and done, the Likud Party gave Sharon over 60% support, demonstrating once again that the Illuminati knows how to gather the support ahead of time for their plans. Everything they really want to do, they make sure they have the support ahead of time to pass the bill -- the ultimate goal is always a "done deal".

Remember, both Biblical prophecy and the Illuminati Plan foresees that the actual spark to begin the Final Birth Pangs War called World War III will begin with Israel.

VI. Shock of all shocks! The Pro-Russian Ukrainian Government is said to be considering staging a terrorist attack so it would have the excuse to seize power. As if to add to the drama playing out before us, Russia's President Putin warned the West to "Back Off"!

NEWS BRIEF: "Opposition was to be smeared with terror attack, says official", By Askold Krushelnycky in Kiev, The Independent.co.uk, 06 December 2004

"Ukraine's embattled government is ready to stage faked terrorist attacks to destabilize the country and discredit the opposition ahead of a rerun of the presidential vote ... The official, who works for the government of the Moscow-backed candidate and current Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, said: 'One of the plans is to blow up a pipeline and blame it on opposition supporters. Ukraine is the key transit country for Russian gas supplies to the West'."

IF the current Ukrainian Prime Minister -- Viktor Yanukovych -- does intend to have government provocateurs blow up this pipeline and blame it on the Pro-Western candidate -- Viktor Yushchenko -- you have to wonder if they got the idea from the Illuminist directed attack of 9/11. After all, since the Illuminati had gotten such wonderful mileage out of this one attack of "terror", the Ukrainian government must be licking its chops, just thinking of all the changes they could possibly make in their government if they would just have some of their Special Forces carry out an attack which could then be blamed on internal opposition.

Based upon the American experience since 9/11, they can pass laws taking away almost every conceivable protection the citizen might have to protect him from his government. All written guarantees of the rights of the citizen could be cancelled. The government could spy on all citizens it chooses without having to justify their actions to any court. The government could arrest citizens without charges, imprison them secretly, try them secretly, and even execute them secretly.

Finally, such an attack would end any election crisis quickly, enabling the government to arrest the Pro-Western candidate on the spot and shut down his campaign completely and permanently. In fact, this scenario is so enticing, you have to wonder if someone high up in the Russian KGB conceived the idea. As a matter of fact, isn't Russia's President Putin a former head of the KGB?

Another possible act against the Pro-Western candidate Yushchenko, also came into the public view this past week. One Russian newspaper reported that the strange, unexplained ailment afflicting the face of Yushchenko was probably a sophisticated poison which could be treated only outside Russia! As a matter of fact, such a poison is known to be in the KGB arsenal. Listen to this most interesting story:

NEWS BRIEF: "Doctors on Verge of Learning Yushchenko’s Face Ailment", MosNews.com, 8 December 2004

"Doctors say they are days away from learning what is ailing Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, whose once smooth face has become pocked with cysts and lesions, with deliberate poisoning high on the list of causes ... British paper The Times quoted Korpan as saying that 'We are now sure that we can confirm which substance caused this illness. He received this substance from other people who had a specific aim.”

"Asked if the aim had been to kill Yushchenko, Korpan said: 'Yes, of course'.”

At this point in the discussion, we learn that Yushchenko has received a toxic substance which has changed his face dramatically, and we have learned that doctors are convinced that this toxin was designed to kill this Pro-Western candidate. Who could have done such a dastardly deed? Since the toxin seems to be somewhat sophisticated, you have to assume it could only have been wielded by a government or by an organization such as the mob which alone has the resources to create such a substance, and deliver it to the victim. Since the Russian and present Pro-Russian Ukrainian government is fighting for its life against Yushchenko, you naturally have to suspect them. Yushchenko certainly did, as this next excerpt reveals.

"Yushchenko fell ill in September while campaigning for Ukraine’s Oct. 31 presidential polls. He later accused the authorities of trying to kill him with some kind of chemical poison ... According to experts cited earlier by the International Herald Tribune, Yushchenko was in such severe pain after he became ill that he campaigned with a catheter attached to his back that fed him painkillers intravenously. His intestine was said to be covered with lesions and blood tests came out abnormal after he was hospitalized in September, but doctors said they were baffled as to what ailment he was suffering from." (Ibid.)

This article stated that doctors wanted to fly him to Vienna so he could receive treatment, but Yushchenko initailly refused. No doctor ventured to say publicly what would happen to Yushchenko if he remained untreated. The Russians have certainly given every indication that they are mightily interested in keeping the Ukraine in the Pro-Russian orbit; toward this end, Putin last week ordered the West to "back off" the Ukraine.

NEWS BRIEF: "Putin Warns West to Back Off", By Steve Gutterman, The Associated Press, December 7, 2004

"ANKARA, Turkey -- The West is trying to force its vision of democracy on the countries of the former Soviet Union, President Vladimir Putin said Monday, as he warned against foreign interference in Ukraine and its crisis. In his first public comments since Ukraine's Supreme Court found the Nov. 21 presidential runoff fraudulent and ordered a re vote Dec. 26, Putin said countries are welcome to help mediate in the crisis but should not meddle ... "Putin is being told by his advisers and allies that for a long time, the West has been actively interfering in Ukraine and Yushchenko as a politician is a purely American project," said Fyodor Lukyanov, editor of a leading Russian foreign affairs journal. "He's told that the whole campaign is being run on ... mostly American, money, and if Yushchenko wins Ukraine will sharply change its political orientation - quickly joining NATO, trying to rupture its ties with Russia and so on."

Therefore, Putin seems to have drawn a superpower "line in the sand" against America and NATO. Keep out of Ukrainian internal politics, Putin warns. Like any good poker player, he does not reveal what he plans to do if this warning goes unheeded.

VII. The National ID - Patriot Act II legislation appears almost ready to be signed into law. Civil Libertarian groups are worried about the erosion of our liberties, and yes, the Pentagon IS planning a permanent anti-terror prison at Guantanamo Bay!

NEWS BRIEF: "Emergency Alert: National ID/Patriot Act 2 Legislation On Verge Of Passing", Prison Planet, December 7 2004

"At approximately 3:30pm today, Ron Paul's press secretary Jeff Deist called Alex Jones to warn him that the legislation that encompasses the national ID card and Patriot Act 2 provisions was on the verge of passing the House tonight. Deist stated that the bill and what it means for America could be described in a word as 'tyranny' ... the situation reminded him of a 'war room atmosphere'. Deist and Ron Paul are desperate to mobilize the alternative media before the bill reaches the Senate tomorrow.

"There is still a chance that we can shoot down the national ID card provisions before the bill is passed in full. Deist went on to exclaim his disbelief at how the so-called conservative Bush administration had betrayed America and how Paul's colleagues on Capitol Hill were blindly going along with this and doing whatever Bush tells them to do without question. For the past two days mainstream news articles have talked of a 'compromise' which was made with the few dissenting voices and that the bill would be steam rolled through. However, those articles fail to mention the very worst aspects of the bill, instead pitching it as a mere reformation of intelligence communication and protocol."

If this bill was "steamrolled" through, such a strong action requires the action of both political parties. As we have stated so many times before, the Democrats are just as committed to establishing the New World Order as are the Republicans. Further, if the Democrats were really an opposition party, their leaders or at least some of their followers, would have blown the lid off this disaster a long, long time ago. As matters stand right now, Americans have only hours to record their feelings.

If you want to call your Congressman, this is the information you will need:

"The bill is S 2845 or 'intelligence reform' and the sub-section with the national ID card provisions is 7212. Tell your congressman to get the federal mandates for standardized drivers licenses out of the bill. According to Deist, the bill would not only introduce the national ID card, but make it mandatory to have a job as well as setting up internal checkpoints in the USA."

The House Switchboard number is (202) 225-3121. Simply ask for your Representative by name. Additionally, you can reach your congressman at: http://webcom.com/~leavitt/house.html // Reach your Senator at: http://www.ussenate.com/email.htm

Even after all the scandals regarding deliberate torturing and sexual humiliations meted out to Islamic prisoners, and even after so many discerning libertarians have voiced the view that American citizens will ultimately be the target of these types of tortures, the Bush Administration is planning to build a permanent prison facility at Guantanamo Bay! Since Bush officials have resolutely held that American courts have no jurisdiction over what occurs at Guantanamo Bay, this new facility hold special peril to native-born American citizens in the not-too-distant future. Let us review the story:

NEWS BRIEF: "Pentagon wants to build permanent prison at Guantanamo", SpaceWar.com, Dec 09, 2004, http://www.spacewar.com/2004/041209202227.3lbwod5t.html

"The Pentagon has proposed building a permanent prison at the US naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, and the army is working on creating a permanent unit of troops to watch over detainees ... Leon Sumpter, spokesman for the base, said: "it's a proposal ... No contract has been given" to build the so-called Camp 6 ... In Miami, Southern Command spokesman Steve Lucas said that it had long been understood that installing a detention center at the base "was a long-term commitment to support the war on terrorism."

"The United States has said Al-Qaeda and Taliban suspects are 'enemy combatants' and not prisoners of war because they are not fighting for a state which has formally declared war. The US Supreme Court ruled in June that civilian courts have jurisdiction over the detainees."

Our national liberties continue to be threatened by a wide variety of actions taken by the White House and Congress. When the clampdown on American citizens occurs after the World War III has erupted, sending prisoners to Guantanamo Bay will be equivalent to sending them now to Jordan or Egypt, where a US citizen can be tortured outside any protection of American courts or any inconvenient American prohibitions. A quick check of our Daily News Updates reveals that some Arab-American citizens have been sent overseas to be tortured since November, 2001.

VIII. Did you know that Adolf Hitler's cry during the time he was consolidating his power was "God is With Us"?

Did you know that, when Adolf Hitler began to consolidate his power over Germany in 1933, he claimed that God was with him and was supernaturally supporting his plan? Many millions of German fighting men followed this claim to their deaths during World War II. This claim was also routinely accepted by the German citizenry, even though Hitler offered not one shred of proof -- much as is happening today in our current political climate.

NEWS BRIEF: " 'God Is With Us': Hitler's Rhetoric and the Lure of 'Moral Values' ", by Maureen Farrell, reprinted by BuzzFlash.com, December 7, 2004, http://www.buzzflash.com/farrell/04/12/far04041.html

"A couple weeks ago, while asserting that the Founding Founders intended for the U.S. government to be infused with Christianity, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said that the Holocaust was able to flourish in Germany because of Europe's secular ways ... One might expect regular citizens to be ignorant of history, but a Supreme Court Justice? If photographic evidence of the Third Reich's Christian leanings were not enough, Hitler's own speeches and writings prove, at the very least, that he presented many of the same faith-based arguments heard in America today. Religion in the schools? Hitler was for it. Intellectuals who practiced "anti-Christian, smug individualism"? According to Hitler, their days were numbered. Divine Providence's role in shaping Germany's ultimate victory? Who could argue?

"Writing for Free Inquiry, John Patrick Michael Murphy explained:

"Hitler's Germany amalgamated state with church. Soldiers of the vermacht wore belt buckles inscribed with the following: "Gott mit uns" (God is with us). His troops were often sprinkled with holy water by the priests. It was a real Christian country whose citizens were indoctrinated by both state and church and blindly followed all authority figures, political and ecclesiastical. Hitler, like some of the today's politicians and preachers, politicized 'family values'. He liked corporeal punishment in home and school. Jesus prayers became mandatory in all schools under his administration. While abortion was illegal in pre-Hitler Germany, he took it to new depths of enforcement, requiring all doctors to report to the government the circumstances of all miscarriages. He openly despised homosexuality and criminalized it."

"For anyone wanting even more proof, Mein Kampf is chock full of the Fuehrer's musings on God. ("I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord," Hitler wrote). But anti-Semitic rants aside, some of Hitler's religious musings are interchangeable with Mr. Bush's."

"Hitler further railed against Church being separated from State, much as President Bush and his religious backers firmly state that the church needs to influence government. What is the purpose of such rhetoric? Religion, as Strauss and his disciples see it, is 'absolutely essential in order to impose moral law on the masses who otherwise would be out of control'." (Ibid.)

When the head of the State is also the head of the Accepted Church, such tight control is possible. Indeed, this combination of State political control and Church religious control is far more powerful when the combined authority is concentrated in the same man. Therefore, it is highly dangerous when President Bush is not only considered a Born Again Christian, but as the defacto head of the Christian Coalition!

Cutting Edge Ministries began writing about this dangerously developing trend in 2001:

NEWS1596 -- "PRESIDENT BUSH DECLARED DE-FACTO LEADER OF CHRISTIAN COALITION!"

NEWS1770d - "YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR WORDS" -- [Matthew ????] -- Part 4 -- Adolf Hitler's Confession of Faith In Jesus Christ

NEWS1004 -- "PARALLELS BETWEEN NAZISM AND NEW WORLD ORDER OF BUSH/CLINTON/BUSH"

To those who scoff at any comparison between President Bush and Adolf Hitler and do not want to listen to facts, consider this one reality: The Skull & Bones secret society to which President Bush belongs and The Thule secret society to which Hitler belonged are identical "Brotherhood of Death" societies. Identical! [William Cooper, "Behold A Pale Horse", P. 81]

IX. The year, 2004, was the year Americans "lived fearfully".

NEWS BRIEF: "Analysis: The year of living fearfully", The Washington Times, December 7, 2004

"Paris, France, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- The year 2004 could easily have been labeled the year of living fearfully. It was the year of the politics of fear. It seemed, almost, as though pushing the fear factor had become a fashionable trend. Hardly ever in any single year have politicians, terrorists -- and even the media, for that matter -- used fear to such an extent ... terrorists lurking around the corner ... Department of State warned American citizens that travel to some 26 countries could be dangerous ... fear was omni-present in the U.S. presidential campaign ... the electorate feared the worse -- anything from a dirty bomb, rising threat levels, to the possibility of a nuclear attack on an American city ... "

"Four days shy of voting day, Osama bin Laden appeared on our television screens to offer his own words of terror and fear ... Since the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks there was hardly a day when reports of a "dirty bomb" was not mentioned in British newspapers, keeping the fear level alive on the other side of the Atlantic ... For much of the year it seemed as though we lived on the edge of impending disaster ... 'the largest armada of land, air and maritime forces ever assembled to provide security at a national political gathering are being deployed in New York for the Republican convention' ... As a documentary aired on BBC 2 last October titled "The Power of Nightmares" pointed out, "In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares."

Remember, Cutting Edge issued a 77-page study demonstrating the many repeated frightening news headlines which have occurred since 9/11/2001 (NEWS1888). This study shows that 2004 is not the only year in which our authorities have deliberately scared us so they could pursue their dictatorail aims.

Truly, these are the End Times of which Jesus warned, and which He said would be one of the portents that He was close to returning. What did he say?

X. As Congress passed legislation supposedly based upon President Bush's 9/11 Commission, it becomes clear that lawmakers have a decidedly different view about the matter than many victim's families.

NEWS BRIEF: "Lawmakers Credit Work of 9/11 Victims' Families for Success of Legislation", AP Breaking News, December 9, 2004

"WASHINGTON (AP) - They walked the halls of Congress almost every day for months, pictures of their loved ones in one hand and copies of the Sept. 11 commission report in the other. Refusing to allow the deaths of their loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001, to be meaningless, Mary Fetchet, Carol Ashley, Carie Lemack, Beverly Eckert and their friends did something amazing: They forced a sometime reluctant Congress to reorganize the country's $40 billion intelligence network to try to ensure that no one else dies in a catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil."

What these poor victim's families will never realize is that the attacks of 9/11 did not occur because of a "massive intelligence failure" which could be remedied by legislation, but by a concerted effort by our own government to create a national disaster so its officials could stampede the people into accepting a dictatorial regime if it meant "being protected" against further attacks.

The only question which remains for these deceived people is, what kind of protection is possible when the culprit is a fox within the chicken coop?

Fortunately, not all victims' families are deceived.

NEWS BRIEF: "CITIZENS' COMPLAINT AND PETITION TO ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR AN INDEPENDENT GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION: Citing probable cause for convening an independent grand jury (or conducting an independent investigation by other means)
to examine the crimes committed in connection with the September 11th, 2001 tragedy and requesting a hearing before the appropriate authorities regarding the same." -- http://www.justicefor911.org/Justicefor911Index_111904.php

"Justice For 9/11" is a group of concerned citizens, many of them family members of people killed in 9/11, who are discerning enough to see through the lies of our government and who are desperately trying to get the truth to come out. Unfortunately, the government and its ally, the Mass Media, have far more people believing their lie than "Justice For 9/11" has on their side.

Such is the age in which we live. Such are the prophetic times through which we are passing.

---------Conclusion----------------"Be ye separate." [2 Corinthians 6:17[

The Christian, while in the world, is not to be of the world. He should be distinguished from it in the great object of his life. To him, "to live," should be "Christ." Whether he eats, or drinks, or whatever he does, he should do all to God's glory. You may lay up treasure; but lay it up in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, where thieves break not through nor steal. You may strive to be rich; but be it your ambition to be "rich in faith," and good works. You may have pleasure; but when you are merry, sing psalms and make melody in your hearts to the Lord. In your spirit, as well as in your aim, you should differ from the world. Waiting humbly before God, always conscious of His presence, delighting in communion with Him, and seeking to know His will, you will prove that you are of heavenly race. And you should be separate from the world in your actions. If a thing be right, though you lose by it, it must be done; if it be wrong, though you would gain by it, you must scorn the sin for your Master's sake. You must have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Walk worthy of your high calling and dignity. Remember, O Christian, that thou art a son of the King of kings. Therefore, keep thyself unspotted from the world. Soil not the fingers which are soon to sweep celestial strings; let not these eyes become the windows of lust which are soon to see the King in His beauty--let not those feet be defiled in miry places, which are soon to walk the golden streets--let not those hearts be filled with pride and bitterness which are ere long to be filled with heaven, and to overflow with ecstatic joy.
