Inspiration For the Week-------"Behold, what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore
the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the
sons of God." 1 John 3:1,2
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us. Consider who we were, and what we feel ourselves to be even now when corruption is powerful in us, and you will wonder at our adoption. Yet we are called "the sons of God." What a high relationship is that of a son, and what privileges it brings! What care and tenderness the son expects from his father, and what love the father feels towards the son! But all that, and more than that, we now have through Christ. As for the temporary drawback of suffering with the elder brother, this we accept as an honour: "Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not."
We are content to be unknown with Him in His humiliation, for we are to be exalted with Him. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God." That is easy to read, but it is not so easy to feel. How is it with your heart this morning? Are you in the lowest depths of sorrow? Does corruption rise within your spirit, and grace seem like a poor spark trampled under foot? Does your faith almost fail you?
Fear not, it is neither your graces nor feelings on which you are to live: you must live simply by faith on Christ. With all these things against us, now--in the very depths of our sorrow, wherever we may be-- now, as much in the valley as on the mountain, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God." "Ah, but," you say, "see how I am arrayed! my graces are not bright; my righteousness does not shine with apparent glory." But read the next: "It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him." The Holy Spirit shall purify our minds, and divine power shall refine our bodies, then shall we see Him as He is.
(C.H.
Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions, KJV

---------- Resource Update ---------- Evolution is the Religion of Secret Societies!
"The emergence of Theosophy was party a response to scientific advances such as Darwin's theory of evolution. Blavatsky offered alternatives that were compatible to both science and religion. Her theory of evolution, a perpetual cycle of creation, death, and regeneration, was ... similar to that of Darwin, but differed in that spirit rather than matter was held to be the motivating force in the universe." (Peter Proudfoot, "The Secret Plan of Canberra", p. 23)

"Sinister Forces In Early America: A Shocking Alternative
To The Conventional View of American History" - Hardback Book
AMERICAN POLITICAL WITCHCRAFT -- The roots of "coincidence" and conspiracy in American politics, crime and culture is exposed in this fascinating new book. You will finally understand the early connections between religion, political conspiracy in high places, and outright occult practice. It is true: some key American Founding Fathers were practicing the Dark Arts!
The author contends that a matrix of politics and violence alone is incapable of explaining the demented 20th Century that shuddered to an end in Manhattan on 9/11/2001. What is needed is an examination of the "third dimension" -- and this dimension is the "occult". But, the practice of the occult goes far beyond any normal realm, for its power reaches into the halls of politics and power. Once this fact is properly understood, the evil, bloody 20th Century shudders into focus.
You will see what lies behind those masques of secrecy! And, you will understand how it impacts your life and well-being. This book understands that there is a Satanic undercurrent to American affairs. For this reason, our history is littered with astonishing coincidences, improbable but factual interconnections, occasional exposures of buried government history, outright assassinations and inexplicable historic conjunctions which scream out for explanation when none can be provided by Conventional Wisdom. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=1104

"Number In Scripture", by Dr. E. W.
Bullinger
This classic reference book on Biblical numerology provides a complete synopsis
of the spiritual significance of numbers found in the Bible.
Did you know that Satan got his fascination with numbers and many of his definitions
of certain numbers from God's consistent usage of numbers? Truly, Satan never
had an original idea; he just copied from God.
Christians worship the Creator Who created numbers, while Satanists ignore the Creator and worship the creature (Numbers) instead.
Cutting Edge is so pleased this old reference book is now back in print, for it is a masterpiece and will dramatically increase your faith.
320 pages, easy to read, yet deep in significance

"The Antichrist & A Cup of
Tea" - Book
I was highly skeptical that anyone could know the precise identity of Antichrist before he arose on the world scene. Thus, it was with great doubt that I began reading this well-documented 443 page book. However, by the time I was two-thirds of the way through the book, I was convinced that Antichrist would come from the British Monarchy, from the House of Windsor.
Tim Cohen, a Messianic Jew, provides overwhelming evidence, including heavy Antichrist symbolism, that proves his point beyond reasonable doubt.
Once you read this book, you will be checking out the travel itineraries of key world leaders when they travel to and from Washington, D.C.!!

---------- This Weeks Hot News ----------
I.
Most discerning people did not need to be told this story, but we find it
highly interesting that such a story appeared now in Mass Media, at the time
when genetically-created diseases are rampant throughout the world, and a
pandemic is threatened by Avian Bird Flu.
NEWS BRIEF: "Drug companies 'inventing diseases to boost their profits" Times Online, April 11, 2006
"PHARMACEUTICAL companies are systematically creating diseases in order to sell more of their products, turning healthy people into patients and placing many at risk of harm, a special edition of a leading medical journal claims today. The practice of 'diseasemongering' by the drug industry is promoting non-existent illnesses or exaggerating minor ones for the sake of profits, according to a set of essays published by the open-access journal Public Library of Science Medicine.
"... conditions such as female sexual dysfunction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and “restless legs syndrome” have been promoted by companies hoping to sell more of their drugs. Other minor problems that are a normal part of life, such as symptoms of the menopause, are also becoming increasingly 'medicalised', while risk factors such as high cholesterol levels or osteoporosis are being presented as diseases in their own right, according to the editors. 'Disease-mongering turns healthy people into patients, wastes precious resources and causes iatrogenic (medically induced) harm', they say. 'Like the marketing strategies that drive it, disease-mongering poses a global challenge to those interested in public health, demanding in turn a global response'.”
This is hot news! A "leading medical journal" is charging that pharmaceutical companies are "deliberately creating diseases"! I remember the day science announced it had successfully cracket the genetic code. Knowing the Biblical injunction that man is inherently evil, I shuddered to think what horrors could be inflicted upon the peoples of the world now that man could create diseases. And, this "worst-case scenario" has, indeed, come true. Today, the world is suffering from many exotic diseases created in genetic laboratories.
Furthermore, once you also remember that politicians are working hand-in-hand with pharmacuetical companies, you can appreciate the horrid scenarios which are not only possible, but entirely probable. The End of the Age plague of disease is upon us.
Notice that this author states that a "global response" is needed to counteract the global "disease-mongering".
Now, let us return to this featured article for more distressing information:
"Disease-awareness campaigns are often funded by drug companies, and 'more often designed to sell drugs than to illuminate or inform or educate about the prevention of illness or the maintenance of health' ... Particular conditions that are highlighted in the journal include sexual function in both men and women. The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction, one paper claims, has been highly exaggerated to provide a new market for drugs, while the makers of anti-impotence medicines, such as Viagra and Cialis, have been involved with their presentation as lifestyle drugs that can boost the sexual prowess of healthy men."
I had always wondered about all those ads promising to "cure" male sexual dysfunction, wondering how many men in society really suffered from this "malady". Now we know the entire "crisis" is manufactured by the Public Relations firms working for the drug companies.
Now, let us return to this article to discover more "created crises" the drug companies are promoting just so they can sell more product:
* "Ordinary shyness is routinely presented as a social anxiety disorder and treated with antidepressants"
* " 'restless legs syndrome'— a constant urge to move one’s legs — are presented as being much more common than they really are."
* "MENOPAUSE - Symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats and loss of libido - Criticism - too often 'medicalised' as part of a 'disorder' when it is a normal phase of life"
* "IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME - Symptoms include constipation, cramps and diarrhoea - Criticism - promoted by drug companies as a serious illness needing therapy, when it is usually a mild problem"
* "OSTEOPOROSIS - Symptoms thinning of the bones, particularly among postmenopausal women - Criticism portrayed as a disease in its own right, when it is really a risk factor for broken bones"
We must all learn to ignore the fancy commercials we see on TV and hear on the radio, knowing that they have been created either to strip some money out of our pocket or to make us less healthy -- or both!
II. Iran declared to the world this week that she had officially joined the "Nuclear Club" by successfully enriching uranium.
NEWS BRIEF: "Iran says it's moving toward large-scale uranium enrichment", Houston Chronicle, April 12, 2006
"TEHRAN, Iran — Iran intends to enrich uranium on a scale hundreds of times larger than its current level, the country's deputy nuclear chief said today, signaling its resolve to expand a program the international community insists it halt. President President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran for the first time had succeeded on a small scale in enriching uranium, a key step in generating fuel for a reactor or fissile material for a bomb ... Iran's small-scale enrichment used 164 centrifuges, which spin uranium gas to increase its proportion of the isotope needed for the nuclear fission at the heart of a nuclear reactor or a bomb."
"Saeedi said Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that it plans to install 3,000 centrifuges at its facility in the central town of Natanz by late 2006, then expand to 54,000 centrifuges, though he did not say when. 'We will expand uranium enrichment to industrial scale at Natanz', Deputy Nuclear Chief Mohammad Saeedi told state-run television. Saeedi said using 54,000 centrifuges will be able to produce enough enriched uranium to provide fuel for a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant like one Russia is finishing in southern Iran."
Iran defiantly declared to the world that she would not retreat "one iota".
NEWS BRIEF: "Iran 'will not step down one iota", Gulf News, April 14, 2006
"Iran has said that it will not step down 'one iota' from its uranium enrichment programme. During talks with Security Council chief Mohammad El Baradei, Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani refused to make concessions on the UN's plea for Iran to suspend enrichment ... El Baradei said, 'We have not seen diversion of nuclear material for weapons purposes, but the picture is still hazy and not very clear'."
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, 'We won't hold talks with anyone about the right of the Iranian nation (to enrich uranium) and no one has the right to retreat, even one iota'. He added, 'Our answer to those who are angry about Iran achieving the full nuclear fuel cycle is just one phrase. We say: 'Be angry at us and die of this anger'.'" (Ibid.)
Thumbing its nose at the international community in general, and at America and Israel in particular, Iran has now officially crossed the threshold to where she can now produce nuclear weapons material. This scenario is the "worst-case" about which the United States and Israel have been warning for three years now. However, we know that all this scary talk is just propaganda, for we have known since June, 2002, that Iran already possessed nuclear weapons (Read NEWS1660).
This crisis is most likely a "Rumors of War", of which Jesus foretold in Matthew 24:6-8.
At
last the truth is being told in public: there is no "Smoking Gun"
evidence that Iran is either enriching uranium in enough quantity to produce
atomic bombs, or that she is intent upon producing nuclear weapons. Now,
neither Israel nor America has an international "leg to stand on"
in their draconian threats against Iran.
NEWS BRIEF: "The idea of US nuclear attack on Iran is just nuts", From Tim Baldwin in Washington, Times Online, April 10, 2006
"JACK STRAW sought yesterday to silence renewed sabre-rattling from hardliners within the US Administration who are pressing for military action — even the use of tactical nuclear weapons — against Iran. The Foreign Secretary described the idea that the White House wanted a nuclear strike as 'completely nuts'. He insisted that Britain would not support pre-emptive military action, adding: 'I’m as certain as I can be sitting here that neither would the United States'.”
Now, the British Foreign Secretary gets down to the real point:
"Speaking to the BBC, Mr Straw said: 'There is no smoking gun, there is no casus belli. We can’t be certain about Iran’s intentions and that is, therefore, not a basis on which anybody would gain authority to go for military action'. He was responding to a new article by Seymour Hersh, published in The New Yorker. It has been seized on as evidence that any hope of a diplomatic solution to the stand-off is being swept aside by White House hawks ... Mr Straw, who has described such a scenario as inconceivable, acknowledged yesterday that the US Administration uses 'slightly different language' on the issue. 'President Bush says (military action) is not on the agenda, but they don’t rule out any option in theory. I believe it is not on the agenda and they are very committed indeed to resolving this issue by negotiation'.”
Cutting Edge has long maintained that continued talk of a military strike is designed to keep oil prices high, which benefits both the United States and oil producing countries such as Iran. This next segment speaks to this general subject.
"Kori Schake, a former staffer on the US National Security Council, was quoted by The Washington Post as calling renewed talk of a military strike a 'diplomatic gambit to keep pressure on others'." (Ibid.)
We certainly agree that talk of military strikes is certainly a "diplomatic gambit". This so-called "gambit" keeps oil prices high and people around the world filled with anxiety. Dissatisfaction with the existing World Order makes it easier to convince citizens throughout the world to support the establishment of a New World Order.
However, this realistic assessment by the British Foreign Secretary -- who has access to Top Secret information -- did not seem to matter to one Bush Administration figure.
NEWS BRIEF: "Iran Could Produce Nuclear Bomb in 16 Days", Bloomberg News, April 12, 2006
"Iran, defying United Nations Security Council demands to halt its nuclear program, may be capable of making a nuclear bomb within 16 days, a U.S. State Department official said. Iran will move to 'industrial scale'' uranium enrichment involving 54,000 centrifuges at its Natanz plant, the Associated Press quoted deputy nuclear chief Mohammad Saeedi as telling state-run television today.
" 'Using those 50,000 centrifuges they could produce enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon in 16 days', Stephen Rademaker, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation, told reporters today in Moscow. Rademaker was reacting to a statement by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who said yesterday the country had succeeded in enriching uranium on a small scale for the first time, using 164 centrifuges. That announcement defies demands by the UN Security Council that Iran shut down its nuclear program this month ... 'While the U.S. has concerns over Iran's nuclear program', Rademaker said 'there certainly has been no decision on the part of my government' to use force if Iran refuses to obey the UN Security Council demand that it shuts down its nuclear program."
The UN Chief Weapons Inspector, El Baradei, weighed in on this subject, informing the world that he had no firm evidence that Iran was planning to use this enriched uranium to build atomic weapons; remember, El Baradei was the UN official who repeatedly warned President Bush and the whole world prior to the invasion that there "was no evidence" to support claims that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction.
However, what makes this report so important is that El Baradei is saying that he cannot confirm Iran's recent announcement that it was even able to produce enriched uranium !
NEWS BRIEF: "IAEA: Iran's claims unconfirmed - Nuclear watchdog chief Elbaradei says he cannot yet confirm Tehran able to enrich uranium", Reuters News Service, reprinted by YNET News, Israel, 4.13.06
"The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Thursday he could not yet confirm if Iran had enriched uranium to 3.5 percent, the level used to fuel nuclear power stations. 'I cannot confirm that. Our inspectors have taken samples. They will report to the (IAEA) board,' Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said when asked if he could confirm if Iran had enriched uranium to 3.5 percent, as it had claimed."
Last year, North Korea made the announcement that it now possessed nuclear weapons. No one, including the United States, believed that report. Now, with Iran, the situation is similar; despite Iran's announcement last week that it had started enriching uranium, the United Nations is taking the lead in disbelieving that story. Even the United States State Department admitted that it could not confirm that Iran was now enriching uranium!
Is President Bush listening?
NEWS BRIEF: "US says cannot confirm Tehran's claim that had enriched uranium to a level used in nuclear power plants", Gulf News, April 12, 2006
"Washington: The United States said on Tuesday it could not confirm Iran's claim it had enriched uranium to a level used in nuclear power plants."
" 'At this point, I can't confirm any of the technical details. There is a lot that goes into a technical assessment of where the Iranians might be in their capability in operating a centrifuge cascade, whether it be a small one or a large one ... I couldn't offer an assessment for you as to where they stand in that process', State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told a news briefing. Earlier, the White House warned that Iran's latest declared nuclear advance could accelerate international pressures on Tehran but experts said much depends on whether the claims prove true and whether Russia and China see the same threat Washington does."
This last phrase will prove most crucial: "experts said much depends on whether the claims prove true and whether Russia and China see the same threat Washington does".
As we have stated before, China and Russia successfully moved the Iranian nuclear debate into the United Nations Security Council, where both of them hold veto power. Thus, international sanctions on Iran are a remote possibility, and approval of military strikes are virtually nil from this world body.
In NEWS2125, we reported that the timetable by which the West would attack Iran had been pushed back to an "October Surprise" this year; this next article shows that such an attack has been pushed back even further, to 2007!
NEWS BRIEF: "Security Experts: Iran to be bombed in 2007", By Ron Ben-Yishai, YNET News, 04.11.06
"If Iran continues to develop nuclear weapons, a military operation against it is inevitable and will take place in 2007, senior U.S. and Israeli specialists say ... experts said the right timing of the military operation will be after Iran reaches advanced stages in operating the nuclear reactor for uranium enrichment and before the end of President George W. Bush’s term."
The end of President Bush's term is Noon, January 20, 2009. Is it possible that the timing of an attack on Iran might be pushed off until Mr. Bush is a "lame duck President"? At which point does the incessant campaign of threats without action just simply peter out, dying because no one takes it seriously any more? All this waiting simply allows Russia to further the sophistication of the defense system protecting Iran; by that time, Syria will be similarly protected.
At some point, the wolf will have cried once too many times, and the world will simply relegate the President Bush to the "dustbin of history".

III. The campaign to discredit President Bush continues to build, producing some surprising results.
Polls show Americans have been convinced by Mass Media propaganda that Iranian targets need to be struck, but with a surprising twist.
NEWS BRIEF: "Most support strike on Iran ... but without Bush", by Craig Gordon, The Washington Post, Reprinted in Sun-Sentinel, April 13, 2006
"WASHINGTON -- As a growing chorus of former generals criticizes the Iraq war and fresh questions emerge over flawed intelligence, a new poll shows that nearly half the U.S. public supports a possible military strike to stop Iran's nuclear program but most don't trust President George W. Bush to lead it. The Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll suggests many Americans are worried about the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. At the same time, a majority doubted Bush's ability to make the right decision about whether to go to war with Iran -- a reflection of the public's growing lack of confidence in Bush's leadership in national security, once his strongest suit."
If President Bush has lost the confidence of the people on National Security, he is in great political trouble. Since the end of World War II, Republican Presidents have usually been more trusted to properly handle foreign affairs, while Democrat Presidents have usually been more trusted to handle domestic affairs. Should President Bush lose the confidence of the American people on foreign affairs, specifically National Security, the Republicans could easily be set up to lose badly in this year's off-season elections, which could mean that he could more easily be impeached.
Do not discount the possibility of impeachment. President Bush is being discredited by so many scandals at once, he could literally reach the point where his "ship of state" could sink fairly rapidly.
Now, let us get back to our featured article:
"Nearly half of all respondents -- 48 percent -- say they would support taking military action against Iran if it continues to produce material that can be used for nuclear weapons. But the country appeared divided on the issue, as four in 10 oppose it ... The growing tension over Iran comes as Bush faces a fresh round of criticism over his actions regarding Iraq -- with the most notable attacks in recent weeks coming from an unlikely quarter, the ranks of retired military brass." (Ibid.)
Please take the time to read another article on this poll, for it gives more information on the shrinking support and trust in President Bush. Time and space do not allow us to discuss this new article: "Poll: Americans stung by Iraq, wary of attacking Iran: Growing pessimism about the war is coloring attitudes about confronting Tehran over its nuclear program", Christian Science Monitor, April 14, 2006.
This growing chorus of criticism from former military generals is getting to a very high political pitch right now, so let us examine that volatile issue.
NEWS BRIEF: "General regrets not questioning war", By Thom Shanker, The New York Times, TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 2006
"A three-star U.S. Marine Corps general who was the military's top operations officer before the invasion of Iraq expressed regret, in an essay published Sunday, that he did not more energetically question those who had ordered the nation to war. He also urged active-duty officers to speak out now if they had doubts about the war. Lieutenant General Gregory Newbold, who retired in late 2002, also called for replacing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and "many others unwilling to fundamentally change their approach." He is the third retired senior officer in recent weeks to demand that Rumsfeld step down. "
"In the essay, in Time magazine this week, Newbold wrote, 'I now regret that I did not more openly challenge those who were determined to invade a country whose actions were peripheral to the real threat - Al Qaeda.' The decision to invade Iraq, he wrote, 'was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions - or bury the results'."
As we stated in February, 2004 - where we first noted an apparent plan to deliberately discredit Bush (NEWS1929) - when one Illuminist begins to attack another, you know that you are looking at the outworking of a carefully scripted plan. All Illuminists are equally committed to moving the world to the New World Order (a.k.a., Kingdom of Antichrist), and to achieve this coveted goal, are willing to take opposite sides to act out a role in a Dialectic Struggle [Read NEWS1599 for full details on how the Dialectic Struggle works].
The news we reported seemed to strongly point in February, 2004, to just such a dialectic struggle unfolding in an apparent attempt to discredit President Bush. Note that our first article is dated February 3, 2004. We reported the breaking news story that retired Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni, a Bush supporter in 2000, had suddenly come out strongly against President Bush, He declared, "'I think the American people were conned into this [war]' ". He also charged that the administration had failed to plan an occupation that would rebuild Iraq, provide internal stability and advance democracy.
Now, over two years later, other military generals are joining this refrain. Let us return to our New York Times article, above:
"Though some active-duty officers will say in private that they disagree with Rumsfeld's handling of Iraq, none have spoken out publicly. They attribute their silence to respect for civilian control of the military, as set in the Constitution, but some also say it would be professional suicide to speak up ... Many officers who served in Iraq also say privately that regardless of flawed war planning or early mistakes by civilian and military officers, the American public would hold the officer corps responsible for failure in Iraq. These officers do not want to discuss doubts about the mission publicly now. Newbold acknowledged these issues, saying he decided to go public only after 'the encouragement of some still in positions of military leadership' and in order to 'offer a challenge to those still in uniform'."
"Newbold served as director of operations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from the summer of 2000 through the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the war in Afghanistan. He left military service in late 2002, as the Defense Department was deep into planning for the March 2003 invasion of Iraq. 'I retired from the military four months before the invasion, in part because of my opposition to those who had used 9/11's tragedy to hijack our security policy', Newbold wrote."
These allegations are strong, and come at a time when the public distrust of President Bush is reaching unprecedented heights. The President could reach a point some day where his standing could plummet in a free-fall.
However, note that these Illuminist generals keep up the pretense -- even as they are criticizing President Bush and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld -- so near and dear the heart of the Elite, i.e., that Al Qaeda is the real threat and that fighting in Iraq helps win the "war on terror".
NEWS BRIEF: "Ex-generals stepping up pressure on Rumsfeld", International Herald Tribune (IHT), April 14, 2006
"The widening circle of retired generals who have stepped forward to call for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation is shaping up as an unusual outcry that could pose a significant challenge to Rumsfeld's leadership, according to current and former generals. Major General Charles Swannack Jr., who led troops on the ground in Iraq as recently as 2004 as the commander of the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division, on Thursday became the fifth retired senior general in recent days to call publicly for Rumsfeld's ouster. Later in the day, another retired general, Major General John Riggs, joined in the fray.
" 'We need to continue to fight the global war on terror and keep it off our shores," Swannack said in a telephone interview. 'But I do not believe Secretary Rumsfeld is the right person to fight that war based on his absolute failures in managing the war against Saddam in Iraq'."
This kind of criticism is unprecedented -- calling Rumsfeld's leadership in Iraq an "absolute failure"! Those are harsh words.
"Another former army commander in Iraq, Major General John Batiste, who led the First Infantry Division, publicly broke ranks with Rumsfeld on Wednesday. Rumsfeld long ago became a magnet for political attacks. But the current uproar is significant because among Rumsfeld's critics are generals who were involved in the invasion and occupation of Iraq under the defense secretary's leadership. Among the retired generals who have called for Rumsfeld's ouster, some have emphasized that they still believe it was right for the United States to invade Iraq. But a common thread in their complaints has been an assertion that Rumsfeld and his aides too often inserted themselves unnecessarily into military decision-making, often disregarding advice from military commanders."
'The outcry also appears based in part on a coalescing of concern about the toll the war is taking on U.S. armed forces, with little sign, after three years, that United States troops will be able to withdraw in large numbers anytime soon ... Some retired officers, however, said they believed the momentum was turning against Rumsfeld. 'Are the floodgates opening?' asked an retired army general, who drew a connection between the complaints and the fact that President George W. Bush's second term ends in less than three years. 'The tide is changing, and folks are seeing the end of this administration'." (Ibid.)
"Are the floodgates opening" is another strong, harsh phrase -- coming at President Bush from generals who are as equally committed to the New World Order as he is; therefore, these words and this action can only be viewed as the outworking of a specific plan to discredit President Bush and possibly bring him to political ruin -- just as Cutting Edge has now been saying for over two years.

The tragedy of soldiers being exposed to Depleted Uranium munitions continues
to build intensity -- as well as it should, for people begin to get sick and
die 3-6 years after first being exposed. However, we offer
this story of a soldier diagnosed with D.U. poisoning in the 1991 Gulf War
and his fight with the military to provide his basic medical needs.
Before we get started on this segment, let us review a warning from William Shakespeare: "Heat not a furnace so hot ... that it do singe yourself".
NEWS BRIEF: "The U.S. Military is in DU Denial", Pulse of the Twin Cities, April 14, 2006
"“My name is John Marshall. I was exposed to DU (depleted uranium). I am 100 percent disabled and I am p****d-off. In fact, I was advised by a couple of my counselors not to do this [interview] because I’m so angry with the government—at the VA system, at the way I’m treated and other veterans are treated. It’s very impersonal. They don’t give you any time. They ask us to go fight their wars, do the dirty work and then they can’t take care of you.”
When I was in the military, I saw this type of non-treatment by military medical people. And, once I got out, I really learned that the military provides only the most shoddy practice on former soldiers. One of my best friends nearly died while waiting for treatment for Agent Orange. The basic problem was that the Army refused to acknowledge that our own soldiers had been exposed to Agent Orange by our own airplanes; they hid by calling it a "Vietnam Syndrome". Only after turning to a private doctor did my friend get the treatment he needed. Therefore, this complaint really resonates with me.
Now, listen as this soldier says what Cutting Edge has been saying for three full years.
"Most people don’t believe the U.S. has been poisoning its own troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, or they’ve heard about uranium 'tipped' bombs—like fingernail polish painted on the outside of a shell casing. On the contrary, these are solid uranium core projectiles. At age 35 John Marshall should be beginning to peak in his career. As a handsome man, married with three children, Marshall exudes energy. He looks strong, earthy, limps a bit on the left, has a thick build with a lean neck and chin. The military was his career. Being exposed to DU has been called a death sentence."
"I got a thank you (letter) from some lieutenant colonel. ‘Thank you for serving our country. We express our deepest gratitude but we believe you were one of these men who were exposed to depleted uranium either through shrapnel or inhalation of dust'. I’m 35, I take 17 medications, I’ve had cancer—lymphatic cancer, Hodgkin’s disease—Lennert’s lymphoma was the initial diagnosis—immune system'.”
This unfortunate man is dying, and he may have infected his wife through sexual relations! Rather than accepting responsibility the American military simply hides behind the skirts of lies and tremendous obfuscation. This soldier returns to this subject next:
"Of course they [the VA] downplay everything. There’s latency periods. The bottom line is, they don’t know the long-term effects. Everybody’s going to react different. Some are going to get sick. Some might be able to last a little bit longer. I’ve been sick since I’ve been back.” (Ibid.)
This soldier is ill informed on the knowledge the Pentagon possesses on the
long-term effects for it knew as far back as 1945 what Depleted Uranium would
do to the human body! (See Newsletter
for April 2, 2004, Paragraph II, article entitled, "Silent WMD's
-- Effects of Depleted Uranium", by Admiral
Vishnu Bhagwatt, February 29, 2004, traprockpeace.org
Now, listen to more critical information from this soldier in 1991. You will
see that he reiterates what Cutting Edge has been saying for a long time.
" ' I started walking and all of a sudden we started taking heavy fire. Two sabot rounds hit our Bradley within 6 feet of me. It’s a dart of depleted uranium. I’m breathing radioactive dust and the toxins from the Bradley. I got sparks flying all over me."
In other words, this soldier was hit by "friendly fire", exposing him to D.U.
"Three days into the war John Marshall had shrapnel in his shoulder that might have been DU-contaminated, and dust in his lungs. Embedded reporters on American TV showed soldiers firing into the distance—rounds and rounds of blasts chasing the horizon. In February 1991 the dust storms were so fierce soldiers two feet away looked like shadows."
While John Marshall might have been hit with D.U. shrapnel, most soldiers are murderously infected with D.U. simply by breathing in a tiny speck of dust which is covered by D.U. This article shows a sandstorm which covers Iraq and which infects so many civilians and soldiers who were never on a field of battle. We carry this same photo in NEWS2063, entitled, "Blinding Sandstorms: How Depleted Uranium Kills An Entire Population".
The entire Middle East is now under a D.U. death sentence, as almost 1 billion people have now been exposed to D.U. dust (Newsletter For March 25, 2006, Paragraph III, Second Story). This next segment of this article informs us, once again, that winds are blowing this stuff all over the world.
"In February 2006 a spike in DU over Britain was made public in the Oct. 12, 1999, Aldermaston Report. And CNN reported the U.S. lung cancer rate jumped six-fold for the first two months of the year. DU dust doesn’t stay put just as radiation hits from Chernobyl bounced around the world on air currents. It is estimated that lung cancer incubates 2 to 5 years after DU inhalation. Four and a-half years ago the Afghan bombing campaign began. Three years ago Iraq War 2 exploded. And if it’s in the air, it’s in the water." (Ibid.)
And, now we learn that the Army is deliberately not giving soldiers the right test, allowing them to deny the problem exists. Listen and weep:
"As of March 2006, there is not a single veteran with confirmed DU health problems, according to VA testimony in the Minnesota Senate Agriculture, Veterans and Gaming Committee. Sen. Steve Murphy’s (D-Red Wing) Veterans Health Screening Bill died when Rep. Kathy Tingelstad (R-Andover) refused to hear the bill in the House Governmental Operations and Veterans Affairs Committee. Veterans are given the Ames test which is actually not specific enough to ascertain DU contamination. All of us have uranium in our urine because uranium is ubiquitous in the environment. The real DU test costs $1,000. The wars cost more than $1 billion a week." (Ibid.)
This next story reports "military scuttlebut" now running rampant throughout the US military in Iraq. I learned very quickly after joining US Army Intelligence that "scuttlebut" is usually far more reliable than official proclamations. If this "scuttlebut" is remotely true, American forces in Iraq are in deep, deadly trouble with D.U. poisoning.
NEWS BRIEF: "Is Doomsday Coming For U.S. Forces In Iraq?", SiberNews, 13 April 2006
"In general, my experiences over many years of close friendships with honorable, career military and National Guard members, from among both officers and non-commissioned personnel, have proven that the 'scuttlebutt' is often more accurate than the official line being handed out from the current CentCom. That was certainly true in Vietnam, and the similarities between Iraq and 'The Nam' are abundant.'
".... if the U.S. does not soon withdraw its forces, it may have very few left to withdraw ... Only such a massive and 'unforeseen' troop loss will avoid the full, horrible truth from eventually reaching the American public. Most of the U.S. military personnel who have done duty in Iraq are now so radioactive, from their constant and ultimately lethal exposures to the DU, (Depleted Uranium), present in all of the U.S. munitions, and the heavy armored assault vehicles in use in Iraq and in Afghanistan as well, that they really cannot be safely returned to home soil in large numbers."
"They themselves are literally toxic. The very cells of their bodies are heavily, permanently contaminated with ceramic uranium oxide gases and particulates that can and will spread from their own flesh into everything and everyone they touch, breathe upon or even stand near to, from other human beings to plants, soil, buildings, furnishings and onward. This is not a rumor but a tragic, brutal fact."
For almost 1 billion civilians in the Middle East and all our one million soldiers who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan (NEWS2118), the following verse is rushing upon them with the speed and fury of a freight train.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." (Rev 6:8)
V.
The nation of NAFTA continued to march onward this past week, as "spontaneous"
demonstrations on behalf of legalizing immigrants continued unabated.
NEWS BRIEF: "Sensing change, migrants rush to the bordeR: Mexicans hurrying to Arizona anticipating passage of guest-worker plan", MSNBC News, April 12, 2006
"NOGALES, Mexico - At a shelter overflowing with migrants airing their blistered feet, Francisco Ramirez nursed muscles sore from trekking through the Arizona desert — a trip that failed when his wife did not have the strength to go on ... The shelter’s manager, Francisco Loureiro, said he has not seen such a rush of migrants since 1986, when the United States allowed 2.6 million illegal residents to get American citizenship ... This time, the draw is a bill before the U.S. Senate that could legalize some of the 11 million people now illegally in the United States while tightening border security. Migrants are hurrying to cross over in time to qualify for a possible guest-worker program — and before the journey becomes even harder."
"... Louvre, who has managed the shelter for 24 years, said the debate in Congress has triggered a surge in migrants. In March, 2,000 migrants stayed at the shelter — 500 more than last year. Many migrants said they were being encouraged to come now by relatives living in the United States ... '“My brothers said there is plenty of work there, and that it looks like they will start giving (work) permits', he said."
Very few people understand that the formation of NAFTA as an economic super state was part of a global reorganization of the nations of the world into the prophesied "10 Horns of Daniel", as foretold in Daniel 7:7-8, and spoken of in Revelation 17:12-17! The entire world was reorganized into 10 super states, in fulfillment of Daniel 7:7-8, from late 1992 - late 1996; the 10 super nations have already been formed, thus placing the world in the place where the rest of this Daniel prophecy can be fulfilled. In other words, Antichrist is the next foretold event in this Daniel prophecy.
The "dirty little secret" is that Mexicans are being gradually moved toward full NAFTA citizenship, and will be on the same status as American citizens. One day soon, we will wake up to the news that all American, Mexican, and Canadian citizens are now NAFTA citizens. Now you know why critics claimed that President Clinton did not really have a "border policy" and why other critics are now saying the same thing about President Bush. The reality is that both Presidents Clinton and Bush have a very detailed "border policy", but it was one which could not, as yet, be shared with the American people.
Until some more interim steps are taken, and more conditioning has taken place, Bush officials will continue to pretend that the national status quo has not changed; rather, the debate will continue to be fought on the basis of whether giving illegal Mexicans some sort of legal status makes good business sense.
Now you know the truth.
VI. Israel named Ehud Olmert Prime Minister last week, exactly 100 days after Sharon was incapacitated.Firm talks on a powerful Coalition committed to Unilateral Withdrawal began immediately. Israel's leaders seem to be in a hurry -- as if an unseen deadline is looming over them.
NEWS BRIEF: "Olmert officially becomes prime minister", YNET News, 04.14.06
"From Friday night onwards, its official – the wand of power formally passes into the hands of Olmert. It is exactly 100 days since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon slipped into a deep coma, making Ehud Olmert prime minister according to law. Last Tuesday, the government met for a special session during which minister unanimously approved the procedure, appointing Olmert as the prime minister. The responsibilities of prime minister were fully transferred to Olmert, who was still defined as acting prime minister until Friday ... Government Secretary Yisrael Meimon, who raised the recommendation for the vote, said: "This is a sad and difficult day for all of us – the personal aides who worked with Sharon, for the staff, and all of the workers of the Prime Minister's Office. This is surely a difficult day for Sharon's family. We didn't imagine that we would come to this day. We pray and hope from here for Sharon's health."
"Currently, with 100 days since the hospitalization, Sharon is no longer prime minister. Olmert has turned into prime minister with the ministers' authorization, and when he assembles his new government, Olmert will become prime minister in every way."
Now, Unilateral Withdrawal is the order of the day, and will continue as rapidly as is politically and militarily possible.
As Olmert began working toward this goal, he suddenly renamed "Unilateral Withdrawal" to a more obscure and less threatening name.
NEWS BRIEF: "Poll: Most Israelis don't back 'convergence' ", By Ryan Jones, Jerusalem Newswire, April 12, 2006
"The results of a post-election public opinion poll seem to show that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is out of touch with the wishes of most of his countrymen by insisting his incoming government has a clear mandate to surrender most of Judea and Samaria to the Hamas Authority. During coalition negotiations as he works to put together his new government, Olmert has let it be known that he plans to implement 'convergence' by November 2008."
The results of the March 28 election certainly seem to give Kadima and Labor and other splinter parties who favor Unilateral Withdrawal the firm hand, while relegating the Conservative Likud Party to the dustbin. It does seem that pro-withdrawal forces are clearly in charge in Israel today.
But, now note that Olmert has renamed this withdrawal policy, "convergence", as quoted above. The word "convergence" refers to the "converging" back into Israel's pre-1967 borders as the settlers are forcibly withdrawn from the West Bank.
"... a survey conducted by The Peace Index Project earlier this month asked a random sampling of 602 Israeli adults if they believe Israel should act unilaterally to set its borders, or maintain the status quo. A 44 percent majority opposes the kind of unilateral withdrawals that form the backbone of Olmert's policies. Forty-one percent said they support a pullout."
Watch Israel, for she is the key to the timing of final world events, but specifically the beginning of the planned World War III. The Illuminati will simply not allow any event(s) to occur which would plunge the world into this final world war until Israel has completed her settler withdrawal and is thus ready to go to war.
VII.
Biochips are again the order of the day, as its proposed use continues to
widen.
NEWS BRIEF: "Biochips are coming—first to animals, children, homeless, elderly",
"Welcome to our brave new world. The RFID age is upon us and our resistance at this time is crucial or this brave new surveillance world is inevitable. When you read bills before the U.S. Congress and bills before the legislatures of the several states, you can see that the lawmakers of this land are in favor of plans to plant biochips in every wild and domesticated animal, every human being and in every product in commerce. In each proposed application of RFID technology—pets, livestock, products, children, the homeless, the elderly—we are being sold on the advantages. Never seriously considered by RFID proponents are the opportunities for abuse or the probabilities for unintended consequences; never intelligently discussed are the health effects upon creatures being bathed in radiation wherever they go. The process is going forward at light speed regardless now that electronic hardware and software are coming online with the wi-fi world (The IO, Feb., 2006). If you need proof beyond the snippets gracing this page, just open your eyes: There are RFID readers everywhere now—in stores, public buildings and on the roads of America. Pretty soon there will be an electronically-retrievable record of every place we go and everything we purchase."
RFID for students:
InCom® Corporation has a vision for school children:
"InCom Corporation is the exclusive developer and manufacturer of the InClass™ attendance taking, reporting and security system. The Company’s founders have extensive teaching, educational technology and network administration experience. The Company has developed the first complete RF based system for taking, recording and reporting attendance in schools. We look forward to working with schools across the country to install the InClass® system and liberate staff and teacher time in the process." (www.incom.com)
RFID goes 4-H
"Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is working on a STATEWIDE pilot program for 4-H steers this year. According to the Canyon County Extension Office this will be mandatory for Canyon County 4-H and all steers at the 'beef weigh-in' will be given a RFID tag in their ear. This tag will have information on the steer and personal information about the owner. The owner (children) will have to register their premises."
RFID and the homeless
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday [April 1, 2004] that it was about to begin testing a new technology designed to help more closely monitor and assist the nation’s homeless population."
RFID and the elderly
Researchers at Intel Research in Seattle and the Georgia Institute of Technology believe that receiving data via the Internet from RFID readers can monitor seniors’ daily activities by recording which tagged items they have picked up and when."
We are rushing toward the fulfillment of prophecy:
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Rev 13:16-18)
VIII. For once the Roman Catholic Pope made sense with this specific denunciation.
NEWS BRIEF: "Pope condemns geneticists 'who play at being God' ", Times Online, April 13, 2006
"THE Pope will deliver a blistering attack on the 'satanic' mores of modern society today, warning against an 'inane apologia of evil' that is in danger of destroying humanity. In a series of Good Friday meditations that he will lead in Rome, the Pope will say that society is in the grip of a kind of 'anti-Genesis”'described as “a diabolical pride aimed at eliminating the family”. He will pray for society to be cleansed of the “filth” that surrounds it and be restored to purity, freed from 'decadent narcissism'. "
"Particular condemnation is reserved for scientific advances in the field of genetic manipulation. Warning against the move to 'modify the very grammar of life as planned and willed by God', the Pope will lead prayers against 'insane, risky and dangerous;' ventures in attempting 'to take God’s place without being God'."
"At the Third Station of the Cross, where Jesus falls for the first time, Archbishop Comastri has written: 'Lord, we have lost our sense of sin. Today a slick campaign of propaganda is spreading an inane apologia of evil, a senseless cult of Satan, a mindless desire for transgression, a dishonest and frivolous freedom, exalting impulsiveness, immorality and selfishness as if they were new heights of sophistication'.”
"At the Fourth Station, where Jesus is helped by Simon the Cyrene to carry the cross, Pope Benedict and his followers will pray: 'Lord Jesus, our affluence is making us less human, our entertainment has become a drug, a source of alienation, and our society’s incessant, tedious message is an invitation to die of selfishness'. One of the strongest meditations warns against the attack on the family. 'Today we seem to be witnessing a kind of anti-Genesis, a counter-plan, a diabolical pride aimed at eliminating the family'.”
"There is a moving meditation for the Eighth Station, where Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem, describing the 'River of tears shed by mothers, mothers of the crucified, mothers of murderers, mothers of drug addicts, mothers of terrorists, mothers of rapists, mothers of psychopaths, but mothers all the same'. "

---------Conclusion----------------"To
whom be glory for ever. Amen" Romans
11:36
"To whom be glory for ever." This should be the single desire of
the Christian. All other wishes must be subservient and tributary to this
one. The Christian may wish for prosperity in his business, but only so far
as it may help him to promote this--"To Him be glory for ever."
He may desire to attain more gifts and more graces, but it should only be
that "To Him may be glory for ever." You are not acting as you ought
to do when you are moved by any other motive than a single eye to your Lord's
glory. As a Christian, you are "of God, and through God," then live
"to God." Let nothing ever set your heart beating so mightily as
love to Him. Let this ambition fire your soul; be this the foundation of every
enterprise upon which you enter, and this your sustaining motive whenever
your zeal would grow chill; make God your only object. Depend upon it, where
self begins sorrow begins; but if God be my supreme delight and only object,
"To me 'tis equal whether love ordain
My life or death--appoint me ease or pain."
Let your desire for God's glory be a growing desire. You blessed Him in your
youth, do not be content with such praises as you gave Him then. Has God prospered
you in business? Give Him more as He has given you more. Has God given you
experience? Praise Him by stronger faith than you exercised at first. Does
your knowledge grow? Then sing more sweetly. Do you enjoy happier times than
you once had? Have you been restored from sickness, and has your sorrow been
turned into peace and joy? Then give Him more music; put more coals and more
sweet frankincense into the censer of your praise. Practically in your life
give Him honour, putting the "Amen" to this doxology to your great
and gracious Lord, by your own individual service and increasing holiness.
(C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions, KJV)
