---------- Inspiration For the Week----- "Joy In God"

It will be a comfort to many when they hear that Mr. John Hyde was not naturally a bright and happy man. On the contrary, he was in himself inclined to be morose, retiring, shy, and silent. Yet, he became one of the most joyous souls I have ever met. He was very fond of Isaiah 61:3, where that wonderful exchange is effected by our Lord. He will give us His own "Beauty", His own "Oil of Joy", and His own "Garment of Praise", if we hand over to Him our ashes (what is our past life but 'ashes'?), our mourning and our spirit of heaviness. So he received our Lord's double gift of joy (John 15:11), freely from his Master's hand, and then would burst out into joyful praise. For no one can be filled with the Divine joy and not sing His praise.

As we joy in God, we soar up into His immediate presence, and it is only in song that our joy finds vent ... In this matter of praise, Mr. Hyde used to tell how "a little child shall lead them". He was taught again and again that joyful praise is the Divine method for 'catching men alive'." ("Praying Hyde", p. 112)

-------Focus: Key Doctrinal Truth----------"Glorification"

The perfect conformity of the believer to the image of Jesus Christ, both in body and soul. It is the perfection of sanctification, when our body of humiliation will be conformed to the body of Christ's glory (Phil 3:21) and we shall be entirely "like Christ" (1 John 3:32). These texts place this event at the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." (See 1 Cor 15:51-53) See also topics, Resurrection; Heaven.

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

I. The campaign to discredit President Bush during his campaign for re-election continues.

A. Since President Bush supposedly depends desperately on his Born Again, Evangelical Christian base, it was shocking to hear the President declare a key Evangelical pastor and leader a liar. After watching for almost one year the maneuvering of John Kerry into position as Democrat Candidate for President, and after watching the simultaneous discrediting campaign of Bush, we have wondered if the plan is to replace Skull & Bones Bush with Skull & Bones Kerry?? While we have no idea whom the Illuminati wants to be President for the next four years, we have never seen such a deliberate campaign of discrediting a sitting President running for re-election from people who have been his allies and friends.

NEWS BRIEF: "Pat praying to differ with Prez on Iraq: Says Bush predicted zero casualties:, New York Daily News, October 21, 2004

"In the weeks before the Iraq war began, President Bush waved off concerns about casualties by evangelist Pat Robertson and told the TV preacher there would not be any. The White House immediately disputed Robertson's account, calling it 'not accurate', but the televangelist declined yesterday to retract his version of the conversation. Robertson, a staunch Bush backer, told CNN Tuesday night that the President made the statement in Nashville during a February 2003 meeting. 'I was trying to say, 'Mr. President, you better prepare the American people for casualties', Robertson said. He said Bush replied: 'Oh, no, we're not going to have casualties'."

Then, to drive home his point as to the demeanor of the President, Robertson said:

The President was "the most self-assured man I ever met in my life. You remember, Mark Twain said, 'He looks like a contented Christian with four aces'." (Ibid.)

While few people could ever believe that any President would be so naive as to think we would suffer no casualties during an invasion of Iraq, to disbelieve this story is to believe that Christian evangelist Pat Robertson is telling a bold-faced lie at a most damaging and embarrassing moment during Bush's re-election campaign. During February, 2003, the invasion was one month away, and Bush/Blair were saying all sorts of things which later proved to be absolutely wrong, trying to convince their respective voters that they absolutely needed to invade Iraq. The entire 9/11 Commission and the WMD report from the Duelfer Report almost completely destroyed the President's rationale for going to war. Therefore, during this time frame, I do not find it unbelievable that President Bush would tell Pat Robertson that he need not worry, for American forces were not going to suffer any casualties; this lie is not too much greater than the lie that Saddam had drone airplanes by which he could deliver his non-existent WMD or that he had loaded his WMD on "terror ships" which were circling in the ocean.

A natural conclusion one might draw from Robertson's revelation is that the President was dangerously out of touch with reality. Of course, this charge has been made repeatedly by the Kerry-Edwards team; therefore, the White House was quick to state that Bush was not out of touch with reality.

" 'Of course the President never made such a comment', said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. 'Any assertion the President didn't understand the serious consequences of military action is simply not accurate', said Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel. 'Anytime the President sends troops into combat he understands that there will be casualties. It's one of his most serious obligations as President - the safety and well-being of our people and our men and women in uniform'."

The Kerry camp wasted no time pressing the President on this embarrassing revelation.

"Is Pat Robertson telling the truth when he said you didn't think there'd be any casualties or is Pat Robertson lying?' Kerry aide Mike McCurry rhetorically asked the President."

The authors of this article did not record Bush's reply. We have been noting since February, 2003, that a deliberate campaign to discredit Bush seems to be underway. Certainly, this disconcerting statement by one of President Bush's major supporters cannot help his standing with his core constituency, the Evangelical Christian.

If you are one of those earnest Christian who still believes Bush is a better, more moral candidate than Kerry, please take the time to thoroughly review our table entitled, "President Bush's Evil vs Good Spiritual Fruits", remembering Jesus' admonition to consider a person's fruits before concluding whether that person is a genuine Christian.

We present this evidence that President George Bush is the type of Skull & Bones Freemason we have said all along he was. This picture was taken during the signing ceremony where Texas Governor George Bush signed Public School legislation. Study carefully all those abominable Master Mason aprons surrounding Governor Bush. Since Mr. Bush is seated, we do not know if he was wearing his Master Mason apron.

B. Former adviser to President John F. Kennedy, Arthur Schlesinger, sharply attacked President Bush for his foreign policy, which Republican strategists have always considered the President's strong suit.

 "The Day That Changed America Forever" Video

NEWS BRIEF: "Bush sabotages foreign policy", By Arthur Schlesinger, Dawn International, 22 October 2004, http://www.dawn.com/2004/10/22/int14.htm

"NEW YORK: Forty-five per cent of the American electorate love George Bush; 45 per cent loathe him. Their minds are made up, pro and con, and there is little chance of changing them. Ten per cent, more or less, remain undecided. The undecided will determine the outcome, at least of the popular vote. There may be again, as in 2000, an electoral-college misfire by which the popular-vote winner loses the White House. War haunts America. Iraq and terrorism forced their way last week into the third presidential debate, ostensibly dedicated to domestic issues. There is no immunity for wartime presidents. In 1952, the unpopularity of the Korean war led President Truman to withdraw from the contest. In 1968, the Vietnam war drove President Johnson from office. The swift victory of President Bush the Elder in the first Iraq war was of small benefit when he was defeated for re-election in 1992 ...

"President Bush the Younger categorically defends his launching of the second Iraq war. He has no doubt about the rightness of his course or the brilliance of his team ... Despite the Pentagon's build-up of Ahmad Chalabi, despite torture and Abu Ghraib, despite the incompetence of post-war planning, despite the collapse of his reasons for looking on Iraq as a clear and present danger to the US, President Bush has dismissed few senior officials. The recent report by Charles Duelfer, the top American arms inspector for Iraq, effectively destroyed what remains of the contention that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction ... He is an unrepentant preventive warrior. His re-election is far from certain; but he would take re-election as an endorsement of his first term and would probably see it as a national mandate to pursue his methods and goals during a second term. Already, premonitory warnings against Iran are eerily reminiscent of those that preceded the preventive war against Iraq ...

"President Bush is a militant idealist. He proposes to use America's military, economic and cultural power to spread 'liberty' ... Never in American history has the republic been so unpopular abroad, so mistrusted, feared, even hated."

This indictment is strong, and if you were to read the entire report, you would realize how very strong Schlesinger's article truly was. Coming from someone as highly placed in a previous presidential administration as Arthur Schlesinger was gives even more credence to his arguments. If you have not read our article on this insider attempt to discredit the President, you should stop to read it now: NEWS1929, "Campaign To Discredit President Bush Seems To Be Moving Into High Gear".

So far, we have seen a blow to discredit coming from both sides of the spectrum: From Robertson, the President's side, and from Arthur Schlesinger, from the Democrat side.

Now, let us listen to a former general ask a question I have been pondering ever since V.P. Cheney warned that only a Bush Presidency could protect America from another terrorist attack.

C. Former General Wesley Clark asks what may be the most important question of this campaign.

DVD or VHS

NEWS BRIEF: "Retired general Wesley Clark criticizes Bush over leadership", Post-Gazette.com, Friday, October 22, 2004

"Retired four-star Army Gen. Wesley Clark blamed President Bush for the 9/11 terrorist attacks in a hard-hitting campaign speech at the VFW hall in East Pittsburgh ... 'He was not a leader. He did not keep this country safe', Clark told about 50 people, mostly veterans ... There were all kinds of indicators out there that the United States was under threat of an imminent terrorist attack," Clark said. "He didn't grab the reins, to use a Texas analogy. He wasn't controlling the horse'."

Exactly! When Cheney charged that only a Bush Presidency could protect America's cities from another terrorist attack, the question that immediately popped into my mind was "Where was President Bush and his team on 9/11/2001?" Why didn't his experienced leadership prevent this attack? Forget the rhetoric about "prior intelligence" indicating that an attack was imminent, or about "massive intelligence failure", for we all know this attack was planned at least as far back as 1995 (NEWS1753). What we need to know -- and what the victim's families of 9/11 have been asking -- is why fighter planes were not scrambled, especially after the first tower was hit? Even the first strike seemed preventable, for radar should have shown exactly where that plane was headed after it was diverted from its Boston - San Francisco flight path.

Of course, there are so many other unanswered questions concerning Bush's leadership on 9/11 that a whitewash commission was appointed to tell the American people that 9/11 occurred in spite of great leadership on the part of the President. These unanswered questions agitated the public waters so greatly that, today, 50%of all New York citizens believe that officials of the Bush Administration knew of 9/11 and did nothing (NEWS1956)!

But, now at least, General Clark has finally gotten the important question asked.

II. We are beginning to see indications that this election may be so contrived so as to be as close as 2000.

NEWS BRIEF: "Bush, Kerry still close in polls", Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, October 22, 2004, http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/national/s_264618.html

"DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. -- A camouflage-clad Sen. John Kerry went goose hunting Thursday while President Bush paid a call on the archbishop of a heavily Catholic battleground state, a clash of symbolism in a tight race for the White House ... Twelve days before the election, an Associated Press survey among likely voters had the race as a statistical tie, 49 percent for the Massachusetts senator and 46 for the man in the White House. The nominal three-point margin was inside the survey's margin of error .... In the presidential race, the AP survey depicted a country at a crossroads ... More than half of those surveyed, 56 percent, said the nation was headed in the wrong direction, a danger signal for any incumbent."

The phrase, "a clash of symbolism in a tight race for the White House" seems to indicate a planned close election, possibly as tight as in 2000. That scenario was similarly stated in a Zogby poll; remember, John Zogby is Rush Limbaugh's favorite pollster, thereby signifying that Zogby is merely knowledgeable of the inside election plan.

NEWS BRIEF: "Election 2004 Reuters/Zogby Daily Tracking Poll: Déjà Vu All Over Again? Bush 46, Kerry 45", Zogby International, October 21, 2004, http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=899

"President Bush and Democratic rival Senator John Kerry are locked in a statistical dead-heat with Bush ahead of Kerry (46%-45%), according to a new Reuters/Zogby daily tracking poll. The poll results are reminiscent of the presidential race in 2000 during this period. Pollster John Zogby: 'As we’ve said all along, 2004 is playing out as close as 2000'..."

If the plan is to stage a very close election, might we also see the results decided by the Supreme Court on the 13th of December as in 2000?

III. Even as Israeli Prime Minister Sharon is engaging the Knesset Parliament in a back-and-forth political shoving match, the elite Israeli Defense Force is already undergoing specialized training as to what tactics to use when the real forcible evacuations are under way. Now, why would the IDF already be training its men in how best to remove settlers if Sharon's Unilateral Disengagement plan has not yet been approved by Parliament? We shall answer this question after this news story.

NEWS BRIEF: "Practicing the Eviction", Israel National News, October 19, 2004, http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=70656

"Border Guard forces are already training to evacuate and demolish Jewish communities and outposts. An exercise was held last night, described by observers to be 'painful' to watch ... The Yediot Acharonot newspaper reported today that a mock "settlement" is being erected in an army base on which to practice eviction of Jews from their homes ... One of the groups played the part of the soldiers, and the other were the 'settlers' who were to be evicted. The 'settlers' cried out nationalist slogans, while the 'soldiers' followed orders to use great force and show no hesitation. 'It was very painful to see this', one soldier told Arutz-7. 'They did it in the middle of the base, in front of everyone. Some of them had real hatred in their eyes'."

How is it possible that Jewish soldiers would have "real hatred in their eyes" for Jewish settlers? To understand this issue, you must realize that no love is lost between secular Jews and religious -- especially Orthodox -- Jews. I personally ran into this hatred during Toy Fair a few years back when the president of a toy company began to recount how he had encountered several Orthodox Jews on the subway on his way into New York City. This toy company president was a secular Jew and he was filled with anger bordering on hatred toward these "unworthy" Jews. I was shocked to the core of my being, for I had never, ever conceived that one type of Jew could hate another type of Jew so vehemently.

Why did this toy company president feel so angry toward these Orthodox Jews? He was embarrassed by their dress and their hair and their beards, and they smelled bad. He saw them as fanatics, and felt embarrassed. Likewise, in Israel, secular Jews look down their noses at the religious observant, Orthodox Jew. My suspicion is that most of the IDF soldiers who will actually carry out the forced evacuation will be carefully selected secular Jews who will have no qualms about evicting Jewish people from Biblical lands. A medical doctor in Jerusalem emailed me last week to tell me of the mood of secular Jews these days in Israel.

In this deplorable situation, Prime Minister Sharon is a secular Jew filled with anger bordering on hatred toward the settlers, who are mostly religious, observant, and Orthodox. We reported this unfortunate reality in our article, NEWS1941, "Is Israeli Prime Minister Sharon Using The Forced Settler Evacuation As An Excuse To Crack Down On Orthodox, Observant Jews?"

Last week, religious Jewish authorities struck back hard at Sharon's withdrawal plans; the reaction from government sources indicated that the arrow hit deeply. Notice that the good Rabbi's statement was aimed at "religious soldiers".

NEWS BRIEF: "Rabbi Shapira shakes the army", Ha'aretz News, 19 October 2004

"Rabbi Avraham Shapira's call last week, urging religious soldiers to refuse to obey orders to evacuate settlements, could yet turn into a watershed moment in the disengagement. Shapira's statement has rippled throughout the system, affecting other rabbis, soldiers and the upper echelons of the army. A glance at the list of rabbis who support Shapira shows that many of the hesder yeshivot, where active duty soldiers study, have crossed the lines and joined the call to refuse the order, while many of the rabbis of the pre-army preparatory yeshivot - reservists with close ties to the army - remain undecided. But if the calls by the rabbis lead to a wave of refusing orders, it could become the greatest internal challenge to the army since the war in the territories began four years ago."

This religiously observant call to religious soldiers reverberated like a shot across Sharon's bow! A top IDF military commander reacted with great anger.

NEWS BRIEF: "Army Commander Condemns Rabbis' Call to Observant Soldiers to Refuse to Evacuate Settlers", By Mark Lavie Associated Press Writer, October 20, 2004

"JERUSALEM (AP) - A top Israeli army official and even some Israeli settlement leaders denounced an appeal from dozens of rabbis urging observant soldiers to disobey orders calling for the evacuation of some West Bank and Gaza settlers. The appeal set off shock waves all the way to the top of the army. Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon, the nation's highest ranking officer, spoke out Tuesday as the religious edict by a former chief rabbi, declaring removal of settlements a violation of Jewish law, gained both supporters and critics. Though Orthodox Jews make up only about a quarter of Israel's population, observant soldiers are a significant presence in combat units. Some serve in special units that allow them to split their time between front-line duty and seminary studies. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan, which calls for Israel to evacuate authorized settlements from the West Bank and Gaza Strip for the first time, has ignited one of the most emotional and ideological firestorms in Israel in years ... 'Insubordination is dangerous to us as an army, as a society and as a nation. This is not legitimate and inappropriate," Yaalon said. 'Don't put us in impossible situations. I call upon all those involved, from across the political spectrum, to show responsibility and not to undermine the (military)', he said at a navy memorial ceremony. 'Disobeying orders is a danger to Zionism'."

This statement is a direct appeal to the patriotism of all Jews living in Israel; it also appeals to the basic insecurity in the heart of every Jew, because they know only the IDF guarantees their continued existence. Without the IDF, every Israeli would quickly be defeated and killed by the overwhelming numbers of Muslim fighters. Thus, General Yaalon is cautioning that failure to obey Sharon's legal orders could result in a disintegration of the Army, leading to Israel's defeat and the Jewish citizen's demise.

Watch Israel carefully. She is separating her population from the "House of Esau" (Palestinians) by the Security Fence and this Unilateral Disengagement, just as Cutting Edge predicted in 1998 (NEWS1422 and NEWS1620). Once this population separation is completed, Israel will be ready to go to war, and the planned World War III can begin. When will this planned separation be accomplished? By Sharon's most recent statements, Israel will begin to forcibly remove settlers in May, 2005 and will be finished 12 weeks later.

Finally, remember, Sharon's Unilateral Disengagement Plan today is exactly what the Oslo Accords promised the Palestinians in 1993! Therefore, through numerous changes of Prime Ministers -- both Conservative and Liberal -- this dastardly Oslo plan has moved forward and is now being implemented. This reality means that Unilateral Disengagement is going to be implemented - period. Of course, the fact that Oslo has been steadily advanced through many "change of ministers" fulfills President Jefferson's classic definition of "Conspiracy" - Read NEWS1911 for full details)

IV. When Jordan symbolically reasserted her rights as an Hashemite Kingdom, did she sign her own prophesied death warrant?

NEWS BRIEF: "Hashemite Dynasty Shows the Flag at Gulf of Aqaba", DEBKAfile Special Report, October 21, 2004

"... inhabitants of the Israeli Red Sea resort of Eilat noticed some strange goings-on across the bay in the Jordanian port city of Aqaba ... One morning, they awoke to the sight of an enormous flag flying from a 136 meter- (446 foot) high pole. The flag, measuring 80 meters (262 feet) by 44 meters (144 feet), was almost the size of an American football field ... . Dimensions aside, there was something odd about the pennant. It looked almost but not quite like the Jordanian national flag; it lacked the trademark star and its colors were in the wrong order. Instead of being arranged in a black, white and red pattern, the flag was black at the top, green in the middle and white at the bottom. After some research, DEBKAfile’s sources were able to identify it as the royal flag – not of Jordan but of the Hashemite dynasty that reigns in Amman today but originated somewhere else.

"Through his great-grandfather, the prophet Mohammad was himself a Hashemite, a subdivision of the Quraysh tribe of what is now Saudi Arabia ... The last of the line to rule as emir of Mecca and King of Hijaz along the Red Sea was Hussain bin Ali. Ibn Saudi, the founder of Saudi Arabia, conquered the Hijaz in 1924 and deposed Hussein, thus ending Hashemite rule of the region and the holy places of Islam. The new Saudi dynasty, supported by the Wahhabi Muslim sect, proclaimed itself Guardians of the Shrines of Islam Hussein’s dispossessed sons, Abdullah and Faisal, were later placed on the newly-created thrones of Amman and Baghdad, respectively ... Through the many upheavals and disasters visited on them, the Hashemites never gave up their claim of common descent with the Prophet or their vision of returning to their roots, the Hijaz, now the western Red Sea province of Saudi Arabia ...

"The new-old Hashemite flag hoisted so dramatically over Aqaba therefore carries a threefold statement ...

"... King Abdullah II seems to be sleeping all the more soundly as he dreams of the Hashemites’ return to their former glory."

This dream of returning to the former glory of the Hashemite Kingdom threatens Saudi Arabia and all militant Muslims. Jordan is thoroughly dominated by the United States and is regarded as a moderating influence throughout the region. Therefore, King Abdullah II may be inviting an inevitable militant reaction from many different militant Muslim organizations, both private and governmental.

However, this sudden reassertion of the Hashemite heritage might also threaten Israel. The majority of Jordanian citizens are of Palestinians, residing in the provinces of Moab and Edom. Jordan may be getting ready to attempt to reassert her control over the Temple Mount and the Palestinians now under Yassir Arafat. Israel is likely to mightily resist this effort. If relations between Israel and the Hashemite King of Jordan were to deteriorate, might Jordan suffer the same fate in her Palestinian provinces that the Palestinians within Israel are going to suffer? After all, as we declare in NEWS1422 and NEWS1620, the "House of Esau" Palestinians are going to be completely annihilated by fire; I have always wondered about the Jordanian Palestinians living in the provinces of Edom and Moab. This new assertion of the Hashemite historical prerogative may be setting the Palestinian inhabitants of Edom and Moab up for similar destruction. Listen to the prophecy:

This new assertion by the Hashemite King of Jordan could very well set the stage for this prophesied utter destruction in his provinces of Moab and Edom. We shall just have to wait to see how the situation plays out.

V. Three news stories this past week served to demonstrate that our police forces are becoming more heavy-handed with the people over seemingly minor incidents. Too few people realize that a harsh police force will be needed when the harsh laws now on the books are enforced. Therefore, these stories of an attitude of harshness by our police forces may serve as a "sign of the times".

NEWS BRIEF: "Silenced By The President", By Trish Bowcock, Rense.com, 10/20/04

"I write this from my home in Jacksonville, Oregon (population 2,226). President George W. Bush came here this week. The purpose of his visit was political. Southern Oregon has been deemed a 'battle ground' area in the presidential race. John Kerry has made incredible inroads in this traditionally Republican stronghold. President Bush's campaign stop was an attempt to staunch the slide ... The prospect of an overnight presidential visit was exciting, even to me, a lifelong Democrat. My excitement turned to horror as I watched events unfold during President Bush's visit ... Police armed with high powered rifles perched upon our rooftops as the presidential motorcade approached. Helicopters flew low, overhead. A cadre of motorcycle police zoomed into town. Black SUVs followed, sandwiching several black limousines carrying the president, his wife and their entourage as they sped to the local inn where they would eat and sleep."

"Supporters of John Kerry sported signs, as did supporters of George Bush. Individuals, exercising their rights of free speech began chanting ... An order was issued that the anti-Bush rhetoric be quieted. The local SWAT team leapt to action. It happened fast. Clad in full riot gear, at least 50 officers moved in. Shouting indecipherable commands from a bullhorn, they formed a chain and bore down upon the people, only working to clear the side of the street appearing to be occupied by Kerry supporters ... People were being crushed. They started flowing into the streets ... riot police fired pellets of cayenne pepper spray into the crowd. An old man fell and couldn't get up. When a young man stopped to help, he was shot in the back with hard pepper spray balls. Children were hit with pepper spray. Deemed "Protesters", people were shoved and herded down the street by the menacing line of armed riot police, until out of the President's ear-shot.
There the "Protesters" were held at bay. Anyone vocalizing anti-Bush or pro-Kerry sentiments were prohibited from venturing forward ...

"In small town America, I witnessed true repression and intimidation by law enforcement. I saw small children suffering from the effects of being fired upon by pepper bullets. I felt legitimate fear of expressing my political opinions: a brand new feeling ... It is reputed that President Bush and his staff will not allow any opposition activity to occur within his ear or eye sight. I can confirm, that in tiny Jacksonville, Oregon, this was true. Physically violent means were taken to protect the president from verbal insults. Freedom of speech was stolen."

When Skull & Bones Bush was elected President, I warned everyone who would listen that, not only was he not whom he pretended to be, but that our liberties and freedoms are more at risk from this Republican President than they ever were under the morally despicable Clinton. We are now seeing stark evidences that my original reticence was justified. These police and security people are acting just as they have been trained and ordered. All across this land, police departments are starting to act violently against regular citizens. What we are seeing is the "tip of the iceberg"; we are seeing a brutalized police force which will one day descend upon us all once the World War III scenario begins to unfold domestically in the form of Martial Law and a dissolution of our Constitutional Republic.

Now, let us go to Boston for yet another story of unmerited police aggressiveness.

NEWS BRIEF: "College student dies after police shoot projectile into postgame crowd", Boston Globe, October 22, 2004

"BOSTON -- A 21-year-old college student died Thursday of a head injury after a clash between police and a crowd of Red Sox fans who poured into the streets outside Fenway Park to celebrate their team's victory over the New York Yankees. Victoria Snelgrove, a journalism major at Emerson College in Boston, was shot in the eye by a projectile fired by an officer on crowd-control duty. The nature of the projectile was not immediately identified but the weapons are meant to be non-lethal ... Snelgrove's father, Rick Snelgrove, expressed outrage and said his daughter did nothing wrong. Standing outside the family home, he held up a photograph of his smiling daughter. 'What happened to her should not happen to any American citizen going to any type of game, no matter what', he said. 'She loved the Red Sox. She went in to celebrate with friends. She was a bystander. She was out of the way, but she still got shot."

Even though the Boston Police Department apologized for the incident and said they were "devastated", the question must still be asked why such vigorous action was taken against a large group of happy fans? The remainder of this story indicated that minor incidents of a hoodlum nature occurred, but nothing major and nothing which would demand such a heavy-handed approach.

In our third story, we ask a rhetorical question: Can anyone justify a police officer using a Taser stun gun on a 75-year-old woman, especially one who had recently broken six ribs in a back-yard fall?

NEWS BRIEF: "Police stun 75-year-old: Rock Hill (S.C.) chief says Taser was used after woman attacked officer", Herald.online, 10/21/04

"The Rock Hill Police Department is investigating why an officer used an electric stun gun on a 75-year-old woman who refused to leave a nursing home where she had gone to visit an ailing friend. The woman, Margaret Kimbrell, said she suffered bruises on her leg and face after she was knocked to the floor by the force of the weapon, called a Taser. Police Chief John Gregory said Tuesday the department is reviewing whether Officer Hattie Macon's use of the Taser was appropriate ... Kimbrell on Tuesday disagreed with that version of events ...

"She said she did not swing her arm or threaten Macon. 'As weak as I am, how could I do that?' said Kimbrell, who has arthritis and suffered six broken ribs in a recent fall in her back yard. 'Maybe I was trespassing, but I didn't know it. I thought they would understand'. She said she got upset because no one would tell her where her friend was -- or even if he was alive."

Police departments today seem to move more quickly to a major, severe reaction than ever before. We have seen protestors brutally treated in many instances over the past four years. Recent protests at G-8 summits have turned very confrontational because of police tactics. Just ask the good folks in Seattle.

VI. Even as oil prices are manipulated upward, do not fear that the American economy is about to fall. While an economic disaster is planned, it will not occur before all elements of the plan are ready to go at once.

NEWS BRIEF: "Oil holds near record peaks", Bahrain Tribune, October 22, 2004

"LONDON: Oil prices held near record peaks yesterday after a larger-than-expected decline in heating fuels in the United States heightened fears of a winter supply crunch ... Prices surged three per cent on Wednesday after a US government report showed a fifth fall in as many weeks in heating oil inventories at a time when stocks would normally be building. Heating oil supplies are also running low in other key demand countries, such as Germany and Japan."

We have demonstrated that this particular oil crisis began much earlier this year and is the result of shutting down refineries for a variety of reasons, and is NOT the result of losing crude oil on the world's market. In NEWS1925, entitled, "Oil And Gas Prices Are Heading Up, Up, Up", we noted the tremendous numbers of key refineries which have suddenly been removed from the marketplace.

Please allow us to see what the Illuminati is doing to us with this current oil crisis, and then we shall proceed to the point where we can see the future.

In other words, the "Illumined Ones" who run our government and economy have decided to use such "price shocking" to redirect monies from the hands of the "undisciplined and irresponsible many" into the hands of the "self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few." Even though neither Federal Reserve Board Chairman Greenspan nor President Bush will admit the truth, the reality is that this price shocking of a commodity is designed to take money out of the hands of those who do not deserve it, placing it in the hands of the already wealthy few who do deserve it, according to this elitist thinking.

What kinds of people are considered undisciplined, and unworthy?

After nearly a decade of consumers buying gas-guzzling SUV's, monstrous trucks and gas-hungry passenger cars, gas prices are surging. Many times during this decade, I have confided to friends and associates that, when enough of the American public gets hooked on gas-guzzling vehicles, the cost of gas is going to go into the stratosphere.

We have a refinery problem, as we demonstrate in NEWS1925 because so many refineries have gone off the market in the past nine months.

Now, even though the ultimate Plan calls for the economy to be deliberately ruined, that will not occur ahead of all the other parts of the Plan to start the World War III which will produce Antichrist. Remember, the Plan to stage Antichrist on the world scene is comprised of the following major elements:

All along the time-spectrum required for these three wars to unfold, the following incidents will occur:

However, none of these planned events will occur before the Middle East blows up into war. Therefore, the planned economic collapse will not occur until then. The Illuminati is well aware that economic prosperity in Western states must continue right up until the time World War III begins. Listen to House of Theosophy Director, Alice Bailey, tell us of this concern that none of the planned changes hurt the economy. Bailey is a medium for "Master D.K.", her familiar spirit. Bailey is speaking of the coming forced disarmament.

"In the preparatory period for the new world order there will be a steady and regulated disarmament. It will not be optional. No nation will be permitted to produce and organise any equipment for destructive purposes or to infringe upon the security of any other nation. One of the first tasks of any future peace conference will be to regulate this matter and gradually see to the disarming of the nations." (Alice A. Bailey, "The Externalisation of the Hierarchy", p. 191; channeled through Bailey by the demonic spirit, "Master D.K.").

However, Master D.K. is well aware that steps must be taken to avoid severe economic complications through this disarmament.

"The great need will be for slow action, leaving time for the needed healing process and adjustment before the final peace terms are settled by the nations, sitting in enclave. Nations will have to shift from a war footing to settled peace activities ... Disarmament must go forward as an initial move, but in such a manner that the question of unemployment is not unduly aggravated. The 'turning the cannon into ploughshares' must be carried out with judgment, and only wide international planning can take care of this stupendous process." (Ibid., p. 208-209)

These quotes reveal how cognizant the Illuminati is about the economy all along the path toward their global government, economy, and religion. They are convinced that Western peoples must feel prosperous right up until the beginning of the "Final Birth Pangs" war. Former Satanist, Doc Marquis, told me that the Illuminati was so determined to maintain a feeling of prosperity right up to the end that they would maintain the economy by powerful Witchcraft, if necessary. Since 1996, Cutting Edge has been receiving communication from noted economists, warning us that the economy must soon fall, as the indicators were terrible. One professional investor wrote me in June, 1996, giving me all the reasons the economy had to crash before the end of that year.

Some people will be hurt by these planned disruptions, but the entire economy will not crash until the Middle East erupts in war. Israel's separation of her population seems to be the key to determining how close we are to final matters. Therefore, all worry and speculation about the economic repercussions of a Kerry Presidency are unfounded, as a quick check of the economy during the Clinton years will demonstrate.

In fact, economic conditions under Bush will also be such as to not fail until the Middle East blows up into all-out war. While some individual Americans will be hurt by these economic troubles, the entire economy will not fall until all elements of the World War III scenario are in place.

VII. As the scare campaign for flu shots continues, the time has come to state the obvious: Flu vaccines are worthless!

NEW BRIEF: "Docs flouting flu rule will face a fine mess", New York Daily News, October 21, 2004

"Doctors who give a shot in the wrong arm could face a stiff slap on the wrist. State Health Commissioner Dr. Antonia Novello vowed yesterday to crack down and fine doctors who give flu shots to people who are not in high-risk groups ... Doctors who flout the federal guidelines on who should get first dibs for the shots could face sanctions by the state Office of Professional Medical Conduct, including fines of up to $2,000 for each violation ... The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged doctors to give priority to seniors 65and older, children between 6months and 23 months old, people with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women, health care workers in contact with high-risk patients and people who take care of infants younger than 6 months old."

Mary and I have raised seven children and in that time, have taken them to the doctor many times for treatment. Time and time again, the doctor would declare that tests showed that the sickness was being caused by a virus, and since medical science could not beat a virus, advised me to take my child home to let their bodies get over the sickness naturally. If this has happened to me time and again, tens of millions of parents must have been told the same thing. My high school biology textbook declared the same reality. Science can only cure diseases caused by germs.

Why is science impotent when it comes to effectively dealing with a virus? Because a virus is constantly mutating. A medicine designed to be effective against one year's virus will be totally ineffective against the next year's virus because that new virus has mutated and is no longer the same! For this reason, science has no answer against even the common cold. My youngest daughter studied to be Registered Nurse; one day, she called me from the hospital in which she was working to tell me that the experienced nurses routinely called the flu vaccine the "Old People Killer".

In like manner, the best a flu vaccine could offer would be a protection against last year's virus; the current year's virus will be totally different. Therefore, a vaccination against flu is worthless at best and dangerous at worst.

Please take the time to read this report from Japan which details the worthlessness of a flu vaccine: "Japan's Greatest Lesson: Compulsory Flu Vaccine Reveals No Benefit and Deadly Side Effects"

Since this is the case, how does the government convince people they MUST HAVE that worthless flu shot? The answer is easy, and the tactic well known. In the Toy Industry, whenever a manufacturer wanted to stimulate demand for a second year for their new hot TV-advertised product, they would carefully short-ship the demand during the first year. In other words, they would deliberately create a shortage, thus causing an emotional reaction amongst the people who could not get that popular toy that year, so they would be ready and chomping at the bit when the product hit the shelves sometime in the next year.

Likewise, our Mass Media has drummed up these artificial shortages, so that people will panic, thinking they might not get the "protection" they needed. This tactic is proven and works nearly every time, whether it is in the Toy Industry or in the medical field.

Since vaccinations penetrate the body's first line of defense against disease -- the skin -- one should seriously ask why such strenuous propaganda efforts are being undertaken to convince people to take a flu vaccine. The answer is both frightening and Biblical: the Illuminati plans to start a super-plague! Listen:

The Illuminati Plan:

""The only alternative left to the world's ruling elite was to increase the death rate ... they did not relish the possible consequences of an enraged public upon discovering that they were being systematically murdered ... Dr. Aurelio Peccei of the Club of Rome ... advocated that a plague be introduced that would have the same effect as the Black Death of history." [Bill Cooper, "Behold A Pale Horse"., p. 167]

The Biblical Prophecy:

"There will be mighty and violent earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences, plagues: malignant and contagious or infectious epidemic diseases which are deadly and devastating ..." [Luke 21:11; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

"So I looked, and behold, an ashy pale horse, black and blue as if made so by bruising, and its rider's name was Death, and Hades (the realm of the dead) followed him closely. And they were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) ..." [Revelation 6:8, Fourth Seal; Ibid.]

You see, once people are convinced they MUST have that flu shot, and are driven to great lengths of distress because there are not enough doses to vaccinate everyone who supposedly needs one, it then becomes easy to introduce a super-strain of flu which will kill and kill and kill, having the "same effect as the Black Death of history." People will be clamoring for the very shot which will kill them.

Has the world suffered through a flu that was enormously devastating? Yes, we have -- the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918. The Irish Examiner posted an important article on this matter, which we have posted on several occasions in our Daily News Updates. Listen to their conclusion as to the real origin of the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918.

NEWS BRIEF: "Vaccine -- not virus -- responsible for Spanish flu", Irish Examiner Archives, 8 May 2003, http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2003/05/08/story265526733.asp

"How did they know it was the virus of Spanish flu that killed millions of civilians and soldiers? This disaster occurred when viruses were unknown to medical science. It took a British science team to identify the first virus in man in 1933 ... But US Army records show that seven men dropped dead after being vaccinated. A report from US Secretary of War Henry L Stimson not only verified these deaths but also stated that there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of yellow fever vaccination during only six months of the war ... Army records also reveal that after vaccination became compulsory in the US Army in 1911, not only did typhoid increase rapidly but all other vaccinal diseases increased at an alarming rate. After America entered the war in 1917, the death rate from typhoid vaccination rose to the highest point in the history of the US Army. The deaths occurred after the shots were given in sanitary American hospitals and well-supervised army camps in France, where sanitation had been practised for years."

"The army doctors knew all these cases of disease and death were due to vaccination and were honest enough to admit it in their medical reports. When army doctors tried to suppress the symptoms of typhoid with a stronger vaccine, it caused a worse form of typhoid, paratyphoid. But when they concocted an even stronger vaccine to suppress that one, they created an even worse disease - Spanish flu. After the war, this was one of the vaccines used to protect a panic-stricken world from the soldiers returning from WWI battlefronts infected with dangerous diseases."

"The rest is history."

Now you know that the Spanish Flu of 1918 was deliberately created and then spread through vaccinations! But, the "panic-stricken" public demanded a vaccination, not realizing that was the way in which to catch the disease. Of course, many were also killed when the virus spread from person-to-person as viruses normally do.

This is startling information, considering how close the world seems to be close to the final conflagration which will produce Antichrist; once he is on the world scene, then fulfillment of these terrible diseases foretold in Scripture and contained within the Illuminati Plan can begin. Considering that the Spanish Flu of 1918 was the most deadly on record, and considering that we now know the plan exists to deliberately introduce another "Black Plague", the next story must cause us some alarm.

NEWS BRIEF: "Lethal Virus from 1918 Genetically Reconstructed: US Army scientists create 'Spanish Flu' virus in laboratory - medical benefit questionable", The Sunshine Project, News Release, 9 October 2003, http://www.sunshine-project.org/publications/pr/pr091003.html

"(Austin and Hamburg, 9 October 2003) – The 'Spanish Flu' influenza virus that killed 20-40 million people in 1918 is currently under reconstruction. Several genes of the extraordinarily lethal 1918 flu virus have been isolated and introduced into contemporary flu strains. These proved to be lethal for mice, while virus constructs with genes from a current flu virus types had hardly any effect. These experiments may easily be abused for military purposes, but provide little benefit from a medical or public health point of view. The 1918 Spanish Flu was highly infectious and – in comparison to contemporary flu viruses – killed a very high percentage of those infected, including many younger people. The Spanish Flu alone caused the medium life expectancy in the US in 1918 to drop by 10 years. Hence, flu viruses are perceived today as a serious biological warfare threat."

It is a fact: there can be no "medical benefit" to genetically resurrecting the 1918 Spanish Flu virus. However, if you are planning to resurrect the deadly Black Plague, this action makes a lot of sense. Now, let us continue this news story, to see that these Army scientists literally did make this flu virus jump back to life.

"Despite the very dangerous nature of the 1918 virus, efforts to reconstruct it started in the mid 1990s, when Dr Jeffrey Taubenberger from the US Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC, succeeded in recovering and sequencing fragments of the viral RNA from preserved tissues of 1918 victims ... But after (partially) unravelling the genetic sequence of the virus, the scientists went a step further and began bringing the Spanish flu back to life. Unnoticed by the public, they succeeded in creating a live virus containing two 1918 genes that proved to be very lethal in animal experiments. This experiment is only one genetic step away from taking the 1918 demon entirely out of the bottle." (Ibid.)

The Army lamely stated that they brought this terrible virus back to life so they could develop anti-terrorist measures against it. However, this defense is blown apart by the very next paragraph of this article.

"A resuscitation of the Spanish flu is neither necessary nor warranted from a public health point of view ... But there is little need for antiviral drugs against the 1918 strain if the 1918 strain had not been recreated in the first place. 'It simply does not make any scientific sense to create a new threat just to develop new countermeasures against it'. says Jan van Aken, biologist with the Sunshine Project, 'Genetic characterization of influenza strains has important biomedical applications. But it is not justifiable to recreate this particularly dangerous eradicated strain that could wreak havoc if released, deliberately or accidentally'." (Ibid.)

Exactly! Now that people are being driven to extreme measures to want to take a medically worthless flu vaccine, is the stage being set for a resurrected 1918 Spanish Flu virus to be slipped into a future batch of flu vaccination doses? Given the apparent closeness of the appearance of Antichrist, we must be on guard against our government convincing us to take a flu vaccination which is worthless in a Best Case Scenario and deadly in the Worst Case.

VIII. The war in Iraq continued to rumble along, with reports that Coalition Forces are planning a pulverizing attack against Fallujah.

NEWS BRIEF: "U.S. to intensify strikes soon to reclaim Fallujah: Campaign on ground is next step", Detroit News, October 21, 2004

"BAGHDAD, Iraq - An imminent offensive to break the resistance in Fallujah, a rebel stronghold about 35 miles west of Baghdad, could be one of the most decisive battles since the fall of Baghdad 18 months ago. Once little more than a giant truck stop on the road from Baghdad to Jordan, the city of about 300,000 has become a symbol of the Iraqi resistance that has resonated throughout the Arab world. But to U.S. forces and their Iraqi allies, Fallujah is a cancer, a refuge for foreign terrorists who are using it as a sanctuary to launch suicide bombers in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq ... U.S. forces, positioned around the city, have intensified air strikes on suspected terrorists inside Fallujah in recent weeks. This is just a prelude to the battle to come. U.S. officers say recent operations are aimed at weakening the militants and disrupting their ability to launch attacks. Negotiations with representatives from Fallujah to end the standoff have broken off ..."

Fallujah was one of those cities in which we agreed to allow Iraqi police units to patrol the city, in exchange for our agreement that American forces would no longer set foot within the city. We covered this disaster in our Newsletter, September 11, 2004. We quote a news story reporting that Defense Secretary Rumsfeld admitted that our forces did not control Falluja or Samarra. Now, we are tightening control over the roads and the territory a military force has to use to break out or to get resupplied. Right after the election, a most punishing and devastating attack on this city is planned.

However, American forces are somewhat short of manpower; therefore, the Bush Administration strongly "requested" that elite British units stationed in the south near Basra move northward to aid us in our planned attack. After several days of agonizing, Prime Minister Blair ordered the redeployment of the elite force called the "Black Watch" to support the American invasion.

NEWS BRIEF: "Black Watch ordered to join US cordon for assault on Fallujah", Independent.co.uk, 22 October 2004

"The Black Watch regiment was yesterday ordered by the Cabinet to help US forces throw a 'ring of steel' around Fallujah before an all-out assault on insurgents in the city. The 850-strong 1st battalion, including three companies of armoured infantry, totaling some 500 men, equipped with 50 Warrior armoured troop carriers, is being ordered to hold an approach road into Fallujah ... Robin Cook, the former foreign secretary who resigned over the war, last night warned Tony Blair that Britain will be associated with the blame if the assault on Fallujah resulted in heavy civilian casualties."

This latter concern is the most important, for many observers fear that an all-out assault will result in many thousands of civilian deaths; of course, each of these civilian casualties will be called an "insurgent" by our military.

IX. After murdering dozens of Interim Iraqi officials over the past year, insurgents aimed their heavy mortars directly at the residence of Prime Minister Allawi.

NEWS BRIEF: "Mortars miss Iraqi PM's residence", Dawn International, 22 October 2004

"MOSUL, Oct 21: Guerillas fired mortars close to Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and his entourage, which included the interior minister and his national security adviser , during a visit to the northern city of Mosul on Thursday. Mortars fell on a multinational force base as Mr Allawi and other visiting officials were getting ready to board helicopters on their way back to Baghdad."

Every member of the Iraqi Interim Government must be shaking in their boots every morning they go to work, for they know they are marked for assassination, and they further know that Coalition Forces are incapable of really protecting them. Not only did the Iraqi people not greet our soldiers with kisses and flowers as we overthrew Saddam, but now their insurgency is gaining strength and improving their capabilities.

Coalition Forces may have the power to level targeted towns, but not enough to defeat a guerilla force covering the whole of Iraq. We may not be defeated, as Presidential Adviser Rice, said last week; but, neither do we have the forces to be able to defeat the guerilla force. At this point, you may ask, why did we invade Iraq in the first place if Saddam had no WMD, if he had no provable ties to Osama bin Laden, and if we did not care enough to commit the number of troops our own generals said we needed?

We answer this most important Strategic question in our new article, NEWS1967, entitled:

We never planned to win in Iraq.

Truly, the signs multiply that the End of the Age is thundering down upon mankind.

---------Conclusion----------------"Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." Luke 5:4

We learn from this narrative, the necessity of human agency. The draught of fishes was miraculous, yet neither the fisherman nor his boat, nor his fishing tackle were ignored; but all were used to take the fishes. So in the saving of souls, God worketh by means; and while the present economy of grace shall stand, God will be pleased by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. When God worketh without instruments, doubtless He is glorified; but He hath Himself selected the plan of instrumentality as being that by which He is most magnified in the earth.

Means of themselves are utterly unavailing. "Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing." What was the reason of this? Were they not fishermen plying their special calling? Verily, they were no raw hands; they understood the work. Had they gone about the toil unskillfully? No. Had they lacked industry? No, they had toiled. Had they lacked perseverance? No, they had toiled all the night. Was there a deficiency of fish in the sea? Certainly not, for as soon as the Master came, they swam to the net in shoals. What, then, is the reason? Is it because there is no power in the means of themselves apart from the presence of Jesus? "Without Him we can do nothing." But with Christ we can do all things. Christ's presence confers success. Jesus sat in Peter's boat, and His will, by a mysterious influence, drew the fish to the net. When Jesus is lifted up in His Church, His presence is the Church's power--the shout of a king is in the midst of her. "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." Let us go out this morning on our work of soul fishing, looking up in faith, and around us in solemn anxiety. Let us toil till night comes, and we shall not labour in vain, for He who bids us let down the net, will fill it with fishes. [C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning and Evening Devotions"; emphasis added]
