--------Focus: Key Doctrinal Truth----------"Gehenna"
A transliteration of the Greek word geenna. The
Hebrew form of the word is gehinnom, 'the valley
of Hinnom', which was the refuse dump for Jerusalem, a place of perpetual
fire, where the bodies of executed criminals were burned. It is thus a fit
word to be used in a spiritual sense to describe Hell, the place of never-ending
punishment.
Gehenna appears twelve times in the New Testament, in eleven of which the
Lord Jesus Himself chose the word. Matthew 5:22 speaks of the 'hell of fire';
Mark 9:43-47 says that its fire is unquenchable and in it 'the worm dieth
not and the fire is not quenched'; Luke 12:4, 5 and Matthew 10:28 teach that
it is the place into which God casts sinners both body and soul after death.
Thus, Gehenna is Hell, everlasting Hell with unquenchable fire, where with
body and soul united, the ungodly endure conscious suffering, without any
lessening of its torment. It is, then, synonymous with the Lake of Fire (Rev.
19:20; 20:10, 14, 15; 21:8), the final abode of the ungodly. See
Wrath of God.

9/11: DIRECTOR'S CUT In Plane Site - Absolute
Proof That 9/11 Was Inside Job and Is Now Being Massively Covered Up"
-- Careful Analysis shows that the only "Conspiracy
Theory" which exists is the official government line that Muslims armed
with box cutters commandeered 4 commercial airliners on 9/11, skillfully flying
them into their targets.
Some startling truths: 1) Why did a FOX News employee
report seeing no windows on “Flight 175”, calling the plane a
commercial jetliner? 2) What is that pod underneath belly of both airliners
crashing into WTC and did the pod cause the flash of fire just before airliner
hit? 3) Listen to NYC firefighters describe the explosions they saw and heard
just before WTC collapsed; 4) If both towers are still standing, what caused
the huge explosion at the base of the WTC complex? Never before reported phenomenon;
5) The Physics of the Pentagon strike simply do not match up at all, plus
TV feed showing onlooker saying he had seen a cruise missile strike the Pentagon;
6) Convincing evidence that planes hitting WTC were remote controlled using
proven Pentagon capability; 7) Excellent feed of Oklahoma City bombing showing
TV news clips where news anchors are talking about bombs going off and other
bombs found, inside Murrah Building; 8) Much, much more
Bonus section giving even more evidence. This video needs to be shown to
all skeptics and people who believe the government is giving them truth
This "DIRECTOR'S CUT" contains scenes not available
when the original video was produced. Mountains of new footage and photographs
flowed in from sources all over the world. We can now say, without a shadow
of doubt, that we have undeniable evidence of a massive cover-up. Evidence
is now undeniably clear - 911 was an inside job.

"Deceived On Purpose: The New Age Foundations
of the Purpose-Driven Church" -- Back In-Stock
Now! -- Cutting Edge has warned that Rick Warren's "Purpose-Driven
Church" is not only part of the Apostasy foretold at the End of the Age,
but is one of the 4 religious factors driving the world toward the New Age
goal called a "Religious Paradigm Shift". With his New Age background,
author Warren Smith had no difficulty spotting the major, serious New Age
underpinnings of the "Purpose-Driven Church".
Smith is well aware of the unprecedented spiritual deception occurring right
now in "Christian" religious circles; it is just as our Lord forewarned
in Matthew 24:4, 11, 24. What is the bottom line warning from author Warren
Smith? "Rick Warren is in the process of leading the church astray".
Prayerfully read this book, for your precious eternal soul is at stake if
you are part of the "Purpose-Driven Church". -- http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=882
Read
also a Biblical Expose' of The Purpose Driven Church -- by Cutting Edge's
Mac Dominick -- "Outcome-Based Religion:
Apostasy, Purpose, and the Paradigm Shift" -- Are big
changes taking place in your church? Has the expository preaching of the Word
of God been replaced by lectures in “Psychology 101?” Have the
messages from the pulpit been so permeated with “tolerance” that
sin is no longer identifiable? Has the emphasis of reaching the lost for Christ
been replaced by the mantra bringing in the unchurched? Does the pastor use
so many translations of the Bible that you are no longer sure what the Bible
actually teaches? Have the hymnals been trashed in favor of the overhead projector?
Has the choir been supplanted by a contemporary “praise band?”
Has the direction of the Holy Spirit on the service been replaced by “40
Day” campaigns? Has your church mushroomed in size with throngs of people
that have no idea of what they believe? If the answer to the majority of these
questions is “yes,” your church is falling victim to Outcome-Based
Religion. This is another manifestation of the 21st Century that is all about
meeting the needs of the consumer with as little inconvenience as possible.
It is no secret that we have become a “Super Walmart Society”
that flocks to the mega-store, the mega-mall and yes, even the mega-church.
Church growth has become the order of the day within broad-based protestantism,
evangelicalism, and even fundamentalism with the catch-phrases like “seeker-sensitive,”
“seeker-friendly,” and “purpose-driven” becoming household
terms among conservative religious individuals.
Unfortunately, the developers of the methods and practices currently implemented
to build this New Paradigm Church have not considered the Word of God as a
valid source document in the developmental process. In lieu of an operational
system built upon God’s absolute truth, they have chosen a strange mixture
of behavioral science, marketing techniques, “Management by Objective”,
General Systems Theory, and cultural relativism bathed in religious terminology
to concoct a program for optimal church growth.
This book gives the reader the vital information needed to identify the warning
signs needed to stand in defense of the Faith in the face of this gathering
storm of apostasy. It should be required reading for all pastors and laypeople
who desire to understand the deceptive nature of this apostasy, and particularly
those who are battling this movement within their own church. Finally, this
book exposes the very real danger that if this movement continues unchecked,
there may well arise a new generation that “knows not the Lord.”

I. The global movement toward the One-World Church, prophesied during the
Tribulation Period, lurched abruptly forward last week, as Evangelical Christian
leaders appeared at the Mormon Tabernacle to ask "forgiveness" and
to say that Evangelicals have misrepresented Mormon theology all along!
NEWS BRIEF: "EVANGELICALS SPEAK AT MORMON TABERNACLE
FOR FIRST TIME IN A CENTURY: Historic event in Salt Lake City stirs controversy,
raises hope for change - Daily
News Updates, 12/13/2004 - http://www.assistnews.net/Stories/s04120036.htm
"LA MIRADA, CALIFORNIA (ANS) -- Noted Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias
and other evangelicals shared the stage November 14 with leaders of the LDS
church for the first time since D.L. Moody preached there in 1899. The joint
event—dubbed “An Evening of Friendship,” was organized by
ex-Mormon Greg Johnson, director of Standing Together Ministries, a coalition
of evangelical churches working to improve relations with the LDS church.
He worked alongside Robert Millet, the prolific LDS author and professor at
BYU, to put on the evening. The Tabernacle was filled to capacity with 7,000
tickets distributed. Some estimate one-third or more of the audience was Mormon;
evangelicals made up the balance."
"In brief introductory remarks, Richard Mouw, President of Fuller Seminary,
apologized to Mormons for misrepresentation of Mormon theology by evangelicals.
'I am now convinced that we evangelicals have often seriously misrepresented
the beliefs and practices of the Mormon community', Mouw said. 'Indeed, let
me state it bluntly to the LDS folks here this evening: we have sinned against
you. The God of the Scriptures makes it clear that it is a terrible thing
to bear false witness against our neighbors, and we have been guilty of that
sort of transgression in things we have said about you', he continued. 'We
have told you what you believe without making a sincere effort first of all
to ask you what you believe'.”
"Christian singer and songwriter Michael Card led five worship songs
for the evening. 'It was surreal to see evangelicals worshiping in Spirit
and Truth at the center of Mormon power and influence', reported Biola’s
Craig Hazen ..."
While not every Evangelical attending this meeting agreed completely with
the statements of Richard Mouw, there was clearly an air of Ecumenism in the
Tabernacle, a deadly air of trying to unite based upon those tenets upon which
they could agree, while ignoring the doctrines upon which they disagree. This
is the deadly mixture which has suffused this current Protestant and/or Evangelical
Church. Based upon this concept, Evangelicals signed that infamous agreement
with the Roman Catholic Church called "Evangelicals And Catholics Together"
in May, 1994. Protestant leaders stated that Catholics and Christians are
"brothers and sisters in Christ" and that our theology is essentially
so identical that we should stop trying to convert Catholics to Jesus Christ!
We invite you to read this infamous document: "Evangelicals & Catholics
Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium", May, 1994,
http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft9405/articles/mission.html]
Also upon this false basis of ignoring doctrinal differences, the Roman Catholic
Pope has united the Catholic's inherent goddess worship of the Virgin Mary
with the goddess worship of the Eastern Religions in order to forge an Ecumenical
union. Now that the Evangelicals have signed that 1994 Concordat with Rome,
the whole Evangelical Movement is wedded to Rome; therefore, this new Ecumenical
union between Evangelicals and Mormons indirectly weds the Mormons to Rome.
Notice every Evangelical leader at this conference, mark them out, and avoid
them at all costs. Whether they are misleading their flocks intentionally
or accidentally, it does not really matter, for they are leading their people
down the Broad Road to destruction. Truly did Jesus speak of them when He
warned:
All these Satanic symbols adorn the outside of the Mormon Temple in which
these Evangelical leaders were foolishly meeting; further, these symbols only
scratch the surface in proving that Mormonism is Satanic. Please take a few
moments to see other resources available which tell the truth of Mormonism:
* "Mormonism's
Temple of Doom" -- The unholy mixture of Magick arts into
the ceremonies of Mormonism and Freemasonry expose their Satanic roots. This
book does the best job yet tying together Mormonism, Satanism, and Freemasonry,
proving they are the same system!
* "Except The Lord Build The House: How
Mormon Temples Are Built To Be Demon Magnets" -- by Former
Satanist, William Schnoebelen - This video is one only a former Satanist could
create, for only such a person would recognize the tell-tale signs contained
within Mormonism which would alert them that every Mormon Temple is built
to draw a demonic presence. DVD
- VHS
* "What's
Wrong With Mormonism?" Video - Created by William Schnoebelen,
this video demonstrates the Mormon's unique End Times viewpoint given their
special brand of high-level occultism. You will never see Mormonism in the
same light again, and you will understand their special role in the coming
Kingdom of Antichrist.
* "DNA
Disproves Mormonism!" Video - Perhaps if these Evangelical
leaders had really checked out the disastrous problem DNA science presents
to Mormon Theology, they would not have so freely asked "forgiveness"
from them. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has declared The
Book of Mormon to be a scriptural and literal history; it recounts
the story of an Israelite family who immigrated to and fully populated the
American continents. Jesus, after his death and resurrection, is said to have
visited this once great Israelite civilization existing in the Americas. The
Book of Mormon teaches that these Israelites are the principal ancestors of
modern-day Native Americans. New discoveries in DNA research now have allowed
scientists to test this historical claim. Thousands of Native Americans from
more than 150 tribes have been DNA-tested to determine their ancestry. DNA
research proves Mormonism is fraudulent! A must- see video for any person
who has Mormon relatives, friends or co-workers.
* "The
Godmakers" - Video - Of course, you would expect our bookstore
to carry the classic, perennially best-selling video exposing Mormonism. An
explosive documentary takes you inside the secret Mormon ceremonies. The pagan
nature of these rites and rituals, practiced by an elite few in the Mormon
Church, are exposed here for the first time on film. We also carry the classic
book, "The
Godmakers".
* "Cults
and the Occult" - Book - What are cults saying to their
adherents and how do they attract so many people? How do they hold their people
so tightly. Edmond Gruss is Professor Emeritus at The Master's College, Santa
Clara, California. He is the author of "The Ouija Board: A Doorway to
the Occult", and several other books on cults and the occult. Gruss examines
the following cults: Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Science, Unity,
Armstrongism, Spiritualism, Seventh-Day Adventism, Astrology, Baha'l, Rosicrucianism,
The Ouija Board, Edgar Cayce, Unification Church, New Age Movement. Gruss
offers a wealth of Scripture to refute the beliefs of the occult.
Truly, this false unifying is one of the supreme signs that the world is
truly in the last days of time -- the End of the Age.

Retired Colonel David Hackworth sounds the alarm over the unofficial casualty
toll so far in Iraq: 50,000 Killed In Action, Wounded, and non-battle casualties
from Iraq back to the States! When you
compare these very real statistics against "official numbers", you
will realize why it is that ever-increasing numbers of American citizens simply
do not trust their government any more.
NEWS BRIEF: "Uncle
Sam Wants Your Kids – Now!", by Colonel David H. Hackworth,
Soldiers For Truth (SFTT.ORG),, 12-06-2004
"We’ll soon have 150,000 U.S. troops stuck in the ever-expanding
Iraqi quagmire, a number that will probably grow even larger before Iraq holds
elections presently scheduled for the end of January ’05 ... Meanwhile,
the insurgents continue cutting our supply lines and whacking our fighting
platoons and supporters, who fight daily as soldiers and Marines fall to enemy
shots, sickness or accidents. Empty platoons lose fights, so these casualties
have to be replaced ASAP. Since this tragic war kicked off in March, 2003,
the United States has evacuated an estimated 50,000 KIA, WIA and non-battle
casualties from Iraq back to the States – leaving 50,000 slots that
have had to be filled."
Your first reaction to this type of statistic is probably sheer disbelief,
largely because it is so much larger than official statistics. However, we
have been running articles consistently for this past 18 months, pointing
out that our government is lying daily about military action in Iraq and Afghanistan;
we have repeatedly stated that the true figure of dead and wounded and evacuated
is much, much higher than official totals.
Furthermore, even by drawing most of our daily news stories for Daily News
Updates from foreign sources, we still are not getting the full story of the
complete action in Iraq. I am convinced that many more battles are being fought
than we ever see reported. And, Col. Hackworth is now telling us that the
real number of Killed In Action (KIA), Wounded In Action (WIA), and miscellaneous
evacuation has now reached 50,000 soldiers. NOTE: Soldiers ill with
Depleted Uranium fall into the "miscellaneous" category.
However, this figure of 50,000 serves as a good benchmark to determine how
many men we have lost this year, for Colonel Hackworth wrote in December,
2003, that the real KIA and WIA figure could be as high as 20,000. We reported
this fact in our January 3,
2004 Newsletter. Let us pick up the Colonel's original story:
NEWS BRIEF: "Saddam's in the slammer, so why are we on orange?",
by Col. David Hackworth, Ret., WorldNetDaily, December 30, 2003
"Almost daily we're told that another American soldier has sacrificed
life or limb in Iraq ... Even I – and I deal with that beleaguered land
seven days a week – was staggered when a Pentagon source gave me a copy
of a Nov. 30 dispatch showing that, since George W. Bush unleashed the dogs
of war, our armed forces have taken 14,000 casualties in Iraq – about
the number of warriors in a line tank division. We have the equivalent of
five combat divisions plus support for a total of about 135,000 troops deployed
in the Iraqi theater of operations, which means we've lost the equivalent
of a fighting division since March. At least 10 percent of the total number
of Joes and Jills available to the theater commander to fight or support the
occupation effort has been evacuated back to the USA!"
"Lt. Col. Scott D. Ross of the U.S. military's Transportation Command
told me that as of Dec. 23, his outfit had evacuated 3,255 battle-injured
casualties and 18,717 non-battle injuries ... Ross cautioned that his total
of 21,972 evacuees could be higher than other reports ... I think it's safe
to say that, so far, somewhere between 14,000 and 22,000 soldiers, sailors,
airmen and Marines have been medically evacuated from Iraq to the USA."
As you can see from this WorldNetDaily news story, we really have two casualty
figures, both from men who are in position to know. Colonel Hackworth -- based
upon Pentagon documents -- reports that our losses were 14,000, while Lt.
Col. Scott D. Ross of the U.S. military's Transportation Command puts the
figure at 22,000 -- as of December, 2003. Thus, in the year since then, our
forces have lost 28,000 - 36,000 more KIA/WIA/Miscellaneous!
When you compare these figures to the anemic -- more publicly palatable --
figures released by the Pentagon, you can appreciate the meaning of our next
news story. The Pentagon considers our soldiers to be just "throw-away"
soldiers. When I read this article, I was struck by the fact that this very
same term was used by the retired Army Major with whom I have been consulting
for nearly two years. When talking about Depleted Uranium poisoning on the
battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, this Army Major said that the Pentagon
considered soldiers to be "throw-away". He used the very same term
while speaking with me in May, 2003.
NEWS BRIEF: "US Troops Ordered To Commit War Crimes", By Christopher
Bollyn, American Free Press, 12-11-4
"Throw Away Soldiers? HAVING SEEN WHAT APPEARED to be a depleted uranium
(DU) missile fired at a building in Fallujah on CNN during the first week
of the fighting, AFP asked the Pentagon if DU weapons are being used in Fallujah.
"Yes," Lt. Col. Joe Yoswa said, 'DU is a standard round on the M-1
Abrams tank.'
Because U.S. Marines in Fallujah are very close to the poison gas produced
by exploded DU shells, AFP asked Yoswa if anything was being done to protect
the troops from DU poisoning. Yoswa seemed unaware of the dangers posed by
the use of DU.
Marion Fulk, a retired nuclear scientist from Livermore National Lab, told
AFP that U.S. troops in DU contaminated battlefields are considered "throwaway
soldiers." The Marines exposed to DU in Fallujah, and elsewhere, face
greatly increased risks of cancer, deformed children, and other health problems
in the future."
For a complete resource listing on the Depleted Uranium disaster, click on
our Depleted
Uranium section, to find articles, books, and videos on this
terrible subject. Perhaps the most credible of all our sources is a video
by Congressman Dennis Kucinch, as he accurately states the true
facts about D.U. in Iraq.
Now, you can understand why Defense Secretary Rumsfeld was so abrupt and
unfeeling when that brave G.I. confronted him with the question as to why
more Humvees are not properly equipped with armor plating (December
11, 2004 Newsletter).
III. Since Americans are increasingly turning
to the Internet to get their news, stories like this next one should be considered
inevitable, for it gives us insight into the frustration of our officials
over their inability to tell untruths without being discovered by the electorate.
NEWS
BRIEF: "Tenet Calls For Internet Security", by Shaun Waterman, UPI,
December 2, 2004
"Former CIA Director George J. Tenet yesterday called for new security
measures to guard against attacks on the United States that use the Internet,
which he called 'a potential Achilles' heel. I know that these actions will
be controversial in this age when we still think the Internet is a free and
open society with no control or accountability," he told an information-technology
security conference in Washington, 'but ultimately the Wild West must give
way to governance and control'."
With Americans being able to access foreign news sources at the click of
a button, no wonder the Bush Administration is sending aloft "trial balloons"
to see if such a proposal to control the Internet is politically palatable
at this time. Tens of millions of Internet users might wake up one morning
to discover that their sources for Internet news has been slashed 98%, with
only government approved sources still available.
In this vein, consider this editorial from Asia Times.
NEWS BRIEF: "Odds are even in the 'information' war", By Ehsan
Ahrari, Asia Times, December 16, 2004
"In this information age, the American occupying forces in Iraq have
come face to face with a terrible reality: insurgents of that country have
become at least as savvy in conducting information warfare - which includes
"perception management" through disinformation, propaganda, and
even deception - as the US military in the ongoing battle for the hearts and
minds of the Iraqis, Arabs and Muslims ... The problem for the US military
is how to keep separate public-affairs campaigns, which are based on nothing
but truth, and information operations, which are in essence propaganda campaigns.
In fact, the crossing of the Rubicon has already taken place, when General
George W Casey Jr, the ranking US commander in Iraq, last summer approved
the combining of the command's day-to-day public-affairs operations with combat
psychological and information operations into a "single communication
office".
Thus, we must realize that much of the information we are seeing about Iraq
is false, nothing more than propaganda. Certainly, American news organizations
are churning out great quantities of sheer propaganda, which is why Cutting
Edge switched to credible foreign sources in Great Britain, Europe, Asia,
New Zealand, and Australia, to name just a few. While we cannot always guarantee
that we have not fallen for propaganda, our chances of finding truth are much
greater than if we just reported mainline American media.
Remember this truth: whether a person approves or disapproves of President
Bush's policies depends in large measure on the quantity and quality of the
news they are reading. For this reason, Cutting Edge posts between 50-75 news
stories daily -- drawn largely upon foreign news sources -- rather than the
paltry 20-25 news stories in your average hometown newspapers, all drawn upon
standard American sources. Visit our Daily
News Updates every day!
IV. As Bush moves steadily toward his second
Administration, we can see the possible beginnings of unilateral military
strikes designed to force "Regime
Changes" in key selected nations throughout the world.
The only surprise is that Russia is sounding the very same rhetoric; she is
reserving for herself the same Bush Pre-emptive Strike doctrine!
NEWS BRIEF: "Bush Wants To Create 'New World Order' With Pre-emptive
Strikes", Free Press International, 12/11/2004
"On December 2, 2004 while President Bush was in Canada, he challenged
international leaders to create a 'new world order' through pre-emptive strikes
against what he calls, 'enemies of democracy'. The Washington Times wrote,
'President Bush yesterday challenged international leaders to create a new
world order, declaring pre-September 11 multilateralism outmoded and asserting
that freedom from terrorism will come only through pre-emptive action against
enemies of democracy'."
What is truly frightening in this statement is that this type of unilateral
action is precisely the disastrous action we took against Afghanistan and
Iraq. Even though the world body adamantly refused to authorize an invasion
of Iraq, that is exactly what the American-led Coalition Forces did on March
20, 2003, when they invaded Iraq. Furthermore, Cutting Edge stated all along
that such a proactive strategy demands nearly absolute perfection in your
intelligence. If your intelligence is correct, and your military strike is
on target, then you have achieved your objective and if the enemy really was
going to attack you, then you have brilliantly prevented a potentially tragic
strike against your country.
However, if your intelligence is badly wrong -- as it was in Iraq -- then
you have just attacked a sovereign country who posed no real threat to your
country. Such an invasion is internationally illegal, and is the stuff of
which the aggressions of Adolf Hitler were made. Once President Bush and his
officials admitted that our intelligence "failed", then the doctrine
of Pre-emptive Strikes should have been thrown into the rubbish heap of history,
never to be expounded upon again.
Yet, here we hear President Bush announcing another installment of his failed
"Pre-emptive Strike" policy. Is anyone saying "Déjà
Vue"? One news outlet in Great Britain certainly can hear the same old
tired tune being played.
NEWS BRIEF: "Different targets, same tactics: Bush's slash and smear
campaign is trying to bring all disparate elements under US control",
by Sidney Blumenthal,
The Guardian (London), Thursday December 16, 2004
"In the wake of catastrophe in Iraq, they are trying to foster a new
conflict with Iran. Even Karl Rove, Bush's political strategist, plays in
this arena, with his very own Iran adviser - Michael Ledeen, a sleazy operator
on the fringes who was involved in the Iran-contra scandal in which even Oliver
North suspected him of skimming money. At the least, the attacks on the UN
serve as a political distraction from Iraq .... On Wednesday Bush gave honours
for failure, with his bestowal of the presidential medal of freedom on Tommy
Franks, the former CentCom commander, who allowed Osama bin Laden to escape
at Tora Bora; on George Tenet, former CIA director, who jumped on the bandwagon
for the Iraq war, informing Bush that the WMD claims were 'a slam dunk'; and
on L Paul Bremer, former chief of the Coalition Provisional Authority, who
disbanded the Iraqi army, among other blunders. Failure will be celebrated
as success in the second term."
Sydney Blumenthal is correct. When President Bush begins to sound a clarion
call for more pre-emptive strikes as a means by which to "prevent terror",
his intelligence will be no better than in Iraq, so his failure is likely
to be at least as great. With our military forces stretched so tightly thin,
and with our forces in Iraqi facing a more sophisticated and stronger insurgency
than ever before, from whence are we going to get the trained manpower to
invade a country like Iran? Some commentators, like Colonel Hackworth, have
been warning us for some time now that a Draft seems inevitable.
Make no mistake about this fact: we seemingly are preparing to attack Iran.
NEWS BRIEF: "Feith to 'Post': US action against Iran can't be ruled
out", by Caroline Glick, The Jerusalem Post, December 12, 2004
"The US hopes that Iran will follow Libya's lead in abandoning its nuclear
program, but nobody should rule out the possibility of military action against
Teheran's nuclear sites if it does not, US Under Secretary of Defense for
Policy Douglas J. Feith told The Jerusalem Post in an exclusive interview
... But strikingly, whereas British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw last month
ruled out any possibility of military action against Iranian nuclear sites
should the diplomatic path lead to failure, Feith said that 'I don't think
that anybody should be ruling in or ruling out anything while we are conducting
diplomacy'."
Just days later, President Bush issued his own warning to Iran:
NEWS BRIEF: "Bush warns Iran and Syria on Iraq", BBC News, 16 December
2004
"US President George W Bush has warned Iran and Syria not to interfere
in Iraq in advance of next month's elections. Mr Bush said he expected all
of Iraq's neighbours, including Iran and Syria, to stop what he said was the
flow of people and money into Iraq. The influx was aimed at helping terrorists,
he said ... Mr Bush gave the warning after Iraq's interim Defence Minister,
Hazim Shaalan, accused Iran and Syria of orchestrating terrorist attacks and
branded Tehran the 'most dangerous enemy of Iraq'."
This latest blast is just one of many in which we have hinted at military
action against Iran. This next story brings some interesting reality to light
regarding our intentions toward Iran.
NEWS BRIEF: "U.S. Simulated strike on Iran nuke plant", Atlantic
Monthly, Dec 12, 2004
"The U.S. Defense Department was said to have completed simulated war
games to determine the feasibility of destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program
... the Pentagon held simulations of a U.S. military strike on Iranian bases
and nuclear facilities. The magazine said the recent war games also included
a ground invasion of Iran. The simulation envisioned a three-phase war against
the Islamic republic. The first phase was composed of air strikes against
bases of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, believed to control Iran's
nuclear and missile programs. U.S. intelligence sources were quoted as saying
that such a strike would require one day and comprised the easiest part of
any military campaign."
Given our stretched military, it seems ludicrous we would actually attempt
a military strike upon Iran that would be followed by a ground invasion. The
Iranian military is not in the same sad shape as the Iraqi military before
our invasion. While our intelligence admitted that Saddams' forces were "hollow",
I have heard no such analysis of the Iranian armed forces.
On March 21, 2003, The Jerusalem Post issued an analysis of Iranian policy
as American and British forces were crossing over the border of Iraq. It seems
from this report that Iran has taken the lead in developing and directing
a Middle Eastern response to our invasion of Iraq. We reported on this strategy
in NEWS1910,
entitled, "Has Iran 'ignited Many Fires' To Set Off Middle East Regional
War: Jordanian official warns that World War III might have just begun!"
We encourage you to read this report of 18 months ago, for then you will
realize the importance of this current article:
NEWS BRIEF: "How Iran will fight back: Will extend the theater of operations",
Asia Times Editorial, By Kaveh L Afrasiabi, December 16, 2004, http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/FL16Ak01.html
"TEHRAN - The United States and Israel may be contemplating military
operations against Iran ... yet Iran is not wasting any time in preparing
its own counter-operations in the event an attack materializes. A week-long
combined air and ground maneuver has just concluded in five of the southern
and western provinces of Iran, mesmerizing foreign observers, who have termed
as 'spectacular' the massive display of high-tech, mobile operations, including
rapid-deployment forces relying on squadrons of helicopters, air lifts, missiles,
as well as hundreds of tanks and tens of thousands of well-coordinated personnel
using live munitions. Simultaneously, some 25,000 volunteers have so far signed
up at newly established draft centers for 'suicide attacks' against any potential
intruders in what is commonly termed 'asymmetrical warfare'."
"Iranians have focused on the merits of a fluid and complex defensive
strategy that seeks to take advantage of certain weaknesses in the US military
superpower, while maximizing the precious few areas where they may have the
upper hand, eg, numerical superiority in ground forces, guerrilla tactics,
terrain, etc. According to a much-publicized article on the 'Iran war game'
in the US-based Atlantic Monthly, the estimated cost of an assault on Iran
is a paltry few tens of millions of dollars. This figure is based on a one-time
'surgical strike' combining missile attacks, air-to-surface bombardments,
and covert operations, without bothering to factor in Iran's strategy, which
aims precisely to 'extend the theater of operations' in order to exact heavier
and heavier costs on the invading enemy, including by targeting America's
military command structure in the Persian Gulf."
Asymmetrical Warfare is a strategy designed to allow an inferior army to
defeat a superior army. Usually, this strategy calls for the weaker force
to attack her enemy using military forces not of the same type deployed by
the superior force. Thus, we read that Iran is planning 25,000 suicide attackers
to attack American interests across the Middle East. Iran may use some of
her longer-range missiles with which to attack American forces in other parts
of the Middle East, and she may attack America's Arab allies in the region.
Or, Iran may stoke the insurgency fires in Iraq so high that our present
force of 150,000 men could not maintain control. Or, Iran may try to attack
Israel. Or, Iran may take all these actions at once.
What this Iranian plan to "ignite many fires" throughout the region
means, quite simply, is that our attack might just launch World War III, a
planned war which envisions that Israel would go to war against her Arab neighbors.
Iran's plans may simply ignite the entire Middle Eastern region -- including
Israel -- into all-out war. If Pakistan and India are drawn into nuclear war,
the world is truly in a nightmare, worst-case scenario.
VI. Russia demands her own right to launch
pre-emptive strikes!
NEWS BRIEF: "Russia Defends Policy of Preventive Strikes in Other Countries",
MosNews.com, December 10, 2004
"Russia on Friday defended a plan to launch preventive strikes on guerrilla
bases in other countries, saying it was merely following accepted international
practice. 'I have said several times that we are at war. When you are at war,
you act like you are at war', Reuters quoted Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov
as saying to an audience of military attaches in Moscow in response to a question
about preventive strikes. Moscow has repeated this policy in the past, more
strongly so after the Beslan hostage-taking in September, when more than 350
people died after Chechen guerrillas seized a school in the Caucasus region
of North Ossetia.
"... 'Russia is not the only country that has announced the possibility
of using or carrying out preventive strikes. I would like to stress that we
did not invent it', Ivanov added, hinting that Moscow was following a U.S.
lead. 'In practice, such strikes have already been used against Afghanistan,
Iraq and in other regions. (The idea) already exists, it is standard international
practice'.”
Since when has the new American policy of pre-emptive strikes been approved
by the International Community? As a matter of fact, this struggle is exactly
what the United Nations has been fighting against President Bush since late
2002. The UN fought against President Bush's Iraq invasion plans right to
the bitter end, and now events have proven the orginal UN stance correct (Predicted
in NEWS1854,
posted originally in September, 2003)
Since Bush's initial targets for his unilateral strike proved to be an abject
failure, why is Russia now picking up this refrain, even to the point of calling
it a "standard international practice"?
The answer is quite simple: this plan is an Illuminist strategy and will
be practiced by Russia and any other country who is operating within the broad
Plan to produce Antichrist through the stoking of war. The goal for Iraq was
never to "liberate" her, or to establish "democracy";
the real goal was to initiate the plan for widespread "Regime
Change" through the world, to begin spreading the Depleted
Uranium dust throughout the region so that, when Antichrist rides forth, he
can initiate the war which will fulfill Seal #2 in Revelation 6 (NEWS1967),
and to provide the "Clash of Civilizations" between the West and
Islam that can bring the prophecies of Zechariah 12 into reality.
Thus, you can see that this strategy of "Pre-emptive Strikes" will
continue as long as the Illuminati wants it to continue.
VII. Cuba is certainly a believer in the American
"Regime Change" strategy, and calls out her army to warn Bush not
to invade.
NEWS BRIEF: "Cuba hails wargame warning to US", Yahoo News, December
15, 2004
"Cuba pressed on with its biggest military exercises in almost 20 years,
with 400,000 reservists joining regular forces and millions of civilians in
wargames which the authorities say are to deter a US invasion. About 100,000
Cuban regular troops are also taking part in the 'Bastion 2004' exercises
which started Monday ... 'The enemy will never catch us by surprise', the
official communist party daily, Granma, trumpeted Tuesday in its coverage
of the wargames which proceeded as ailing President Castro welcomed Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez, his only close ally in the Americas, whose government
helps keep Cuba's energy-starved economy afloat with cut-rate oil.
"The only way to stop aggression is to make it abundantly clear that,
in this case, Cuba will become, from one end to the other, an enormous wasp's
nest that no aggressor, however powerful, will be able to overcome', Defense
Minister Raul Castro said..."
While the United States issued its standard policy that we have no intentions
of invading Cuba, President Castro believes otherwise. He is familiar with
the Pentagon's "Regime Change" strategy as outlined in NEWS1833,
which is based upon a book on the current bookstore selection entitled, "The
Pentagon's New Map", by Thomas P. Barnett. Castro has probably read the
book! He knows Cuba is a "Non-Integrating" nation and ripe for overthrow.
VIII. In Israel, the question of the hour has
been answered, "When shall the new Unity Government between Likud and
Labor going to get started and what ministry portfolios will the Labor possess?"
Israel now has the stable government needed to carry
out such a controversial program as the Unilateral Withdrawal from Gaza and
portions of the West Bank, and the forced evacuation of thousands of Jewish
settlers.
NEWS BRIEF: "Labor, Likud parties reach coalition government deal",
The Jerusalem Post, 17 December 2004
"After days of heated coalition negotiations, Labor and Likud have reached
an agreement on the division of portfolios, and the parties are expected to
sign the deal on Sunday, officially bringing the Labor party into a coalition
government. According to the agreement, Labor will be granted eight ministries:
the Interior Ministry, Infrastructure, Housing, Tourism, and Communications
Ministries, two ministers without portfolios, and three deputy ministers.
In addition, Shimon Peres will fill the position of deputy prime minister
in the Prime Minister's Office. Peres' position is counted as a ministerial
portfolio ... The two parties are expected to sign the agreement on Sunday,
and the deal should come into effect next week ... The Labor central committee
was expected to meet early next week to select the party's ministers. Peres
will not have to run for his portfolio. The other seven will be contested
by some 13 Labor MKs."
With the Unity Government in place, the ball can really get rolling quickly
on Israel's Unilateral Withdrawal from Gaza and portions of the West Bank,
in order to fully complete the separation of populations (NEWS1422
and NEWS1620).
As if on cue, we read of plans to effectively utilize the IDF in this withdrawal
campaign.
NEWS BRIEF: "10,000 reservists to assist pullout", The Jerusalem
Post, December 13, 2004
"The IDF plans a massive call-up of reservists, possibly up to 10,000,
to help with the disengagement from the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank.
The army has allocated 12 weeks for implementing the disengagement starting
in early July. But the massive call up of reservists will begin in May to
relieve troops who will undergo disengagement training ... In general, reservists
will not be used to carry out the disengagement or evacuation of Jewish settlers
in the plan dubbed Shevet Ahim, or Tribe of Brothers."
Now that Sharon is within striking distance of achieving the original goal
of the 1993 Oslo Accords (NEWS1911),
he delivered a speech sounding like a strategic diplomat about to achieve
greatness.
NEWS BRIEF: "Sharon: This is the year for real peace", The Jersualem
Post, December 16, 2004
"Declaring 2005 a year of 'great opportunity', Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon called on the Palestinians and neighboring Arab countries not to miss
a historic chance to reach an agreement with Israel. 'We stand today before
a unique window of opportunity', Sharon said Thursday night at the closing
session of the Herzliya Conference. 'Who knows when we might have another
chance like this in the future?' "
A speech like this is necessary when you are preparing to go to war against
an entrenched enemy, like the Palestinians have proven to be. You see, once
war erupts, Israel can point back to Sharon's speech, saying that her intentions
were only to achieve a peace, and that they are not responsible for the carnage
the war has brought. When Sharon delivered this speech, he already knew that
the current post-Arafat leadership had already adopted Arafat's long-term
plans.
Listen to this next news story to understand that Arafat's policies are still
in place:
NEWS BRIEF: "Barghouti Bows Out, Arafat’s Policies Back In",
Israel National News, December 13, 2004
"Jailed terrorist murderer Marwan Barghouti withdrew Sunday night from
the PA presidential election, hours after release of a report of frontrunner
Abu Mazen's platform adopting Arafat’s policies ... Barghouti announced
his support for Abu Mazen today, after an eastern Jerusalem newspaper published
the leader’s platform, including Jerusalem as the capital of a new Arab
state."
Obviously, the only way the Palestinians could rule from Jerusalem is if
Israel no longer existed as a nation. Arafat's long-term policies -- even
his tactical acceptance of a "Two-State Solution" -- foresaw the
time when Israel would be forced to "drink the waters of the Mediterranean
Sea", an Arafat euphemism for annihilating Israel. This policy is still
in effect, and Sharon knew it. He knew his speech about the importance of
2005 was empty hot air, but it did set Israel on the high ground for the coming
conflict.
VIII. In another "Signs of the Times" type of story, American Christians
in Philadelphia face up to 47 years in prison for preaching the Gospel and
reading Scripture in public during a Gay-Pride parade. America
has nearly completed her rejection of a Christian National Foundation, replacing
it with a love of the values and attitudes of Sodom and Gomorrah.
NEWS BRIEF: "Christians Face 47 Years in Prison Because Philly Judge
Calls Bible Verses 'Fighting Words' ", Raiders News, December 16, 2004
"Tupelo, MS - After a federal appeals court denied an emergency appeal
to stop prosecution of 11 Christians on Tuesday, Philadelphia Municipal Court
Judge William Austin Meehan ordered four of the Christians to stand trial
on three felony (criminal conspiracy, ethnic intimidation, and riot) and five
misdemeanor charges. If convicted, they could face up to 47 years in prison.
The Christians were arrested on October 10 for praying, singing, and reading
scripture during an annual “gay pride” event known as “Outfest”
in Philadelphia. Since the federal courts did not intervene to halt the state
prosecution, the last route for the Christians would be an appeal to the Supreme
Court says the Christians’ attorney Brian Fahling, senior trial attorney
for the American Family Association Center for Law & Policy."
If Christians are relying upon the US Supreme Court to give them justice,
they are wasting their time and effort, for the Supreme Court has already
ruled that Homosexuality is a protected movement today. When the High Court
ruled on June 26, 2003, that Sodomy was now legal (NEWS1830),
America was officially a new Sodom.
When you read the Biblical account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
(Genesis 19), you must realize that the reason the boys and men of Sodom felt
so at ease in desiring public sex with the angels in Lot's house was because
no laws existing which made such activity illegal. The entire structure of
government in Sodom fully supported gay sex, including public sex. Schools
taught that gay sex was perfectly normal and the court system considered it
acceptable.
Today, America is officially Sodom in God's sight.
Furthermore, actions by our government and our courts have clearly had the
effect of repudiating our Christian values national foundation, substituting
a Luciferian values system, a set of values which has always supported unbiblical
sex, both heterosexual and homosexual. Since our national values and attitudes
reflect the image of the Evil One, we should expect official hostility from
elected officials toward the Christian viewpoint. The major factor in this
terrible incident in Philadelphia which excited such official hostility was
that the hated Christians were acting against society's newest darlings, the
Gay - Lesbian movement.
Jesus foretold that such a development would portend the End of the Age.
