---------- Inspiration For the Week-------------
"Yea,
thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear
was not opened." Isaiah 48:8
It is painful to remember that, in a certain degree, this accusation may
be laid at the door of believers, who too often are in a measure spiritually
insensible. We may well bewail ourselves that we do not hear the voice of
God as we ought, "Yea, thou heardest not." There are gentle
motions of the Holy Spirit in the soul which are unheeded by us: there are
whisperings of divine command and of heavenly love which are alike unobserved
by our leaden intellects. Alas! we have been carelessly ignorant--"Yea,
thou knewest not." There are matters within which we ought to have seen,
corruptions which have made headway unnoticed; sweet affections which are
being blighted like flowers in the frost, untended by us; glimpses of the
divine face which might be perceived if we did not wall up the windows of
our soul. But we "have not known." As we think of it we are humbled
in the deepest self-abasement. How must we adore the grace of God as
we learn from the context that all this folly and ignorance, on our part,
was foreknown by God, and, notwithstanding that foreknowledge, He yet has
been pleased to deal with us in a way of mercy! Admire the marvellous sovereign
grace which could have chosen us in the sight of all this! Wonder at the price
that was paid for us when Christ knew what we should be! He who hung upon
the cross foresaw us as unbelieving, backsliding, cold of heart, indifferent,
careless, lax in prayer, and yet He said, "I am
the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour . . . Since thou wast
precious in My sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore
will I give men for thee, and people for thy life"!
O redemption, how wondrously resplendent dost thou shine when we think
how black we are! O Holy Spirit, give us henceforth the hearing ear, the understanding
heart!

Devotions", C.H.

WHAT TO CONCENTRATE ON -- "I came
not to send peace, but a sword" (Matt. 10:34)
Never be sympathetic with the soul whose case makes you come to the conclusion
that God is hard. God is more tender than we can conceive, and every now and
again He gives us the chance of being the rugged one that He may be the tender
One. If a man cannot get through to God it is because there is a secret thing
he does not intend to give up - I will admit I have done wrong, but I no more
intend to give up that thing than fly. It is impossible to deal sympathetically
with a case like that: we have to get right deep down to the root until there
is antagonism and resentment against the message. People want the blessing
of God, but they will not stand the thing that goes straight to the quick.
If God has had His way with you, your message as His servant is merciless
insistence on the one line, cut down to the very root, otherwise there will
be no healing. Drive home the message until there is no possible refuge from
its application. Begin to get at people where they are until you get them
to realize what they lack, and then erect the standard of Jesus Christ for
their lives - We never can be that." Then drive it home - "Jesus
Christ says you must." "But how can we be?" "You cannot,
unless you have a new Spirit" (Luke 11:13).
There must be a sense of need before your message is of any use. Thousands
of people are happy without God in this world. If I was happy and moral till
Jesus came, why did He come? Because that kind of happiness and peace is on
a wrong level; Jesus Christ came to send a sword through every peace that
is not based on a personal relationship to Himself. ["My Utmost
For His Highest", Oswald Chambers, part of A.W.

NEW!! The American State vs The People : The Rise
of the American Police State -- Book -- Is America becoming
a police state? Since September 11, 2001, the question has become more urgent.
When do roving wiretaps, random checkpoints, mysterious "detentions,"
and military tribunals cross over from being emergency measures to being the
tools of a government permanently and irrevocably out of control? And, with
the purpose of repressing citizens rather than protecting against "terrorists"?
"The State vs. The People" examines these crucial issues. But first,
it answers this fundamental question: "What is a police state?"
In this new book Wolfe and Zelman reveal: * The six core characteristics that
define every police state * The nine police-state actions we must learn to
recognize * The terrible four traits that define the ultimate horror, the
totalitarian police state.
Chapter by chapter, Wolfe and Zelman draw parallels between conditions in
today's America and the police states of the past. -- http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=660

Dial 911 and DIE!! - Shocking Truth
About Police Protection Myth - Book -- "Gun control" survives as
an idea because most Americans believe one single huge myth: "You don’t
need a gun because the police protect you from crime."
Perhaps no other lie in history has been told big enough, often enough, so
that citizens actually believe that, if they give up their guns, the police
can and will protect them from armed "bad guys".
The police cannot protect everyone -- in fact the police usually have no
legal duty to protect anyone. This book shows how the police owe no legal
duty to protect individuals from crime. The police in most places do not even
have to come when you call. A generation of Americans has come to trust a
telephone number for self- defense.
Government authorities and media pundits never told Americans about the dark
side of 911. Too many Americans have dialed 911 and died because the police
did not or could not help them. There are many excellent arguments against
"gun control." Only one argument destroys its logical root. Master
that argument. Get Dial 911 and Die for yourself, your local talk host, your
local NRA leaders, your family, your local libraries. Read the harrowing,
gut-wrenching stories of crime victims who tragically depended upon police
to help. See how the courts just dismiss the victims’ appeals out of
hand. You’ll never look at your telephone -- or your gun rights -- the
same way again. -- http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=659

Death By Gun Control: The Human Cost of Victim
Disarmament - Book -- Why must all decent nonviolent people
fight against "gun control"? Why is the right to keep and bear arms
truly a fundamental individual right? You can find the answers in this brand
new book.
The message is simple: Disarmed people are neither free nor safe - they become
the criminals' prey and the tyrants' playthings. When the civilians are defenseless
and their government goes bad, however, thousands and millions of innocents
die. Professor R.J. Rummel, author of the monumental book Death by Government,
said: "Concentrated political power is the most dangerous thing on earth."
For power to concentrate and become dangerous, the citizens must be disarmed.
What disarms the citizens? The idea of "gun control." It's the idea
that only the government has the right to possess firearms, and that citizens
have no unalienable right to use force to defend against aggression. You will
discover that tyrannical regimes disarmed their people before they clamped
down a murderous dictatorship. No fully armed people has ever been subjected
to dictatorship. You will learn the sobering statistics and will never look
at the false "Gun Control" arguments the same way again. -- http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=661

Illuminati Mystery Babylon - DVD
-- Texe Marrs spends the first 10-12 minutes explaining that not all Jews
in the world are Talmudic and/or Illuminist! He teaches that only a small
percentage of Jews fall into this category. Then, Marrs explains how the Rothschilds
and other Judeo-Masonic adepts have controlled America behind the scenes for
over 225 years -- as the unfinished pyramid on the back of the US One Dollar
Bill demonstrates! Did the Illuminati secretly fund the American Revolution
and bankroll the Continental Army of George Washington? Even today, the manipulate

---------- This Weeks Hot News ----------
I. Iraqi insurgents launched
a massive, coordinated attack in Iraq, aimed primarily at non-American Coalition
Forces.
NEWS BRIEF: "Iraqi Insurgent Attacks Kill 13,
Hurt 172", Excite News, 12/27/03, carried in Daily News Updates, Breaking
News, 12/27
"KARBALA, Iraq (AP) - In the biggest rebel attack
since Saddam Hussein's capture, suicide bombers and assailants with mortars
and grenade launchers blasted coalition military bases and the governor's
office in this southern city Saturday, killing 13 people and wounding at least
172. The death toll in Karbala included six coalition soldiers - four
Bulgarians and two Thai's; six Iraqi police officers; and a civilian."
Seemingly taking a page out of the Vietcong handbook, Iraqi insurgents struck
in a coordinated attack, striking one military base and one political base,
i.e., the governor's office in Karbala , Iraq. For those people who believed
that the capture of Saddam Hussein possibly signaled the end to organized
hostilities, this attack must be a great shock. However, as we warned last
week, the Bible speaks of no peace in the Middle East after Israel becomes
a nation again, but only of war. Therefore, we did not anticipate any kind
of cessation of hostilities just because Saddam was now in Coalition hands.
Let us examine the bloody week just past in Iraq.
NEWS BRIEF: "Bomb kills two U.S. soldiers in Iraq", Boston Globe,
12/22/03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/22.
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Assailants detonated a roadside bomb near a U.S.
military convoy in Baghdad on Monday, killing two American soldiers and an
Iraqi translator ... In Baghdad, Brig. Gen. Mark Hertling of the 1st Armored
Division, which is responsible for security in Baghdad, said that additional
security measures would be a prudent move ... Two other soldiers from the
1st Armored Division were wounded in the attack at about 11:45 a.m. in Baghdad.
The soldiers' names were being until their families are notified."
NEWS BRIEF: "Palestinians Fighting Against U.S. In Iraq", Arutz-7
Sheva News, 12/21/03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/22.
"Among the hundreds of non-Iraqis fighting against the United States
forces in Iraq are Palestinian Arabs - and some of them have even given their
lives in the campaign against the Americans."
NEWS BRIEF: "Explosions, heavy fire in Baghdad", smh.com.au, 12/24/03,
carried in Daily News Updates 12/24
"Explosions and automatic fire echoed across Baghdad early today ...
The most intense military activity in the capital for weeks may be related
to an operation known as Iron Justice and "may involve explosions and
aerial activity", a military spokeswoman said."
This campaign originated from Coalition Forces.
NEWS BRIEF: "'Four Killed' in Bomb Attack", Scotsman, 12/24/03,
carried in Daily News Updates 12/24
"A car bomb exploded outside a government building in the northern Iraqi
town of Irbil today and up to four people were thought to have been killed,
and many wounded. First reports indicated the explosion cold have been caused
by a suicide bomber."
Experienced observers can clearly see that Iraqis are killing fellow Iraqis
who are cooperating with Coalition Forces. The next story tells the same tale.
NEWS BRIEF: "Militants arrested as top judge is killed", smh.com.au,
12/24/03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/24
"... the assassination of a senior Iraqi judge highlighted continuing
instability in postwar Iraq. Youssef Khoshi, a chief investigating judge in
the northern city of Mosul, was shot and killed last night by three men in
a car. 'He was shot six times from behind in the back. He died immediately',
police Major Ali Mohammed said today. The murder was part of a wave of attacks
in recent weeks on officials working under Iraq's US administration, including
policemen, oil executives and other judges. Guerrillas have killed US soldiers
and anyone seen cooperating with them."
NEWS BRIEF: "Total U.S. Casualties In Iraq Now Top 11,000", Rumor
Mill News, 12/23/03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/24
"The latest medical evacuation figures obtained by UPI from the Army
Medical Command, show that a total of 10,854 soldiers have been evacuated
from Iraq,
8,851 for medical conditions from non-hostile causes and 2,273 wounded in
action. The non-hostile medical conditions include bone injuries, surgeries,
brain problems, heart illness, and mental problems, among others. The figures
only count those evacuated to Army hospitals, and not to facilities run by
other services. They also exclude soldiers who have been treated in Iraq and
illnesses that don't show up until later, such as post-traumatic stress disorder."
In typical fashion, the Pentagon is under-reporting American casualties and
is still very quiet as to the exact causes of death. Lost in the list of reasons
of death are the really troubling causes like the combination of exposure
to Depleted Uranium, toxic vaccinations, and toxic local insect bites, all
interacting in the terrible heat of the Iraqi Summer [Read NEWS1843
for full details].
NEWS BRIEF: "Iraq hotel hit by mortars". Dawn International 12/24/03,
carried in Daily News Updates 12/25
"BAGHDAD, Dec 24: Guerillas fired a mortar round that hit the Sheraton
Ishtar Hotel in Baghdad on Wednesday where many Westerners were staying. 'A
mortar round hit the top of the Sheraton', a US soldier said ... A private
security adviser said there was some damage to the roof of the hotel, but
he said no one had been hurt. Guerillas fired rockets from donkey carts in
audacious attacks on the Sheraton and the adjacent Palestine Hotel on Nov
21, wounding two people. Many foreign contractors and journalists stay at
the heavily fortified hotels, which are surrounded by concrete blast walls
and guarded by US troops."
Attacks like these are mostly symbolic; however, the November 21 attack nearly
killed Defense Secretary Wolfowitz and did kill a high-ranking US Army officer.
NEWS BRIEF: "Iraqi rebels usher in Christmas Day with grenade and rocket
attacks", myTelus, 12/25/03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/25
"BAGHDAD (AP) - Rebels unleashed a string of grenade, rocket and mortar
attacks in Baghdad before dawn on Christmas Day, hitting a hotel housing foreigners
for the second time in as many days and targeting two banks, several embassies
and a U.S. Army base. Thursday night, several explosions were heard in central
Baghdad, and sirens sounded in the Green Zone, a barricaded area that houses
the headquarters of the U.S.-led coalition governing Iraq."
Take note of the military weaponry being utilized by the Iraqi insurgents.
They are using rockets, mortars, and rocket-propelled grenades. Some intelligence
officials believe that a very special attack on the scale of the Tet Offensive
in Vietnam in March, 1968, may be planned after the first of the year. If
that is the case, these attacks might serve to hone the skills of the Iraqi
fighters. DEBKAfile is reporting that a specially trained Palestinian terrorist
leader landed in Iraq just two days after Saddam was captured; the objective
of this top terrorist leader seemed to be to facilitate the transfer of military
and terrorist leadership from Saddam to more competent hands. If this is the
case, Coalition Forces are in for a very long haul and a very tough fight.
This intelligence source is also reporting that, when this huge offensive
gets underway, Israel will be drawn into the conflict![DEBKAfile Intelligence,
12/28/03 Newsletter]
NEWS BRIEF: "Five U.S. Soldiers Die", Fox News, 12/26/03, carried
in Daily News Updates 12/27
"BAGHDAD, Iraq — As a massive coalition operation netted dozens
of enemy forces in Iraq, including a former courier for Saddam Hussein, deadly
attacks against the military killed five U.S. soldiers in a 24-hour period."
Thus, you can see that violence and death rained down upon Coalition Forces
nearly every day this past week. American forces are simply unable to get
firm control of the country, or to stop the guerilla attacks so bedeviling
our forces. What was that strategy enunciated by Iran just as the US/UK invasion
was getting under way?
" 'Iraq is a swamp', Khamenei said in his address to the guards. 'The
Great Satan will get caught in that swamp; and that will speed up its inevitable
collapse'. In a recent article Velayati spelled out a strategy aimed at 'confronting
the Great Satan in a number of fronts.' "
He then spelled out those 'number of fronts'.
This could be a prelude to an FDR-style outlawing of gold possession."
For those of you who are not well versed in modern history, President Franklin
Roosevelt ordered all individuals and companies to immediately turn in their
gold bullion, coins, and certificates, simply because the President declared
that a "serious emergency exists". Such individuals would receive
compensation in the form of paper and/or coined money of the United States
["The Gold Confiscation Of April 5, 1933", Presidential Executive
Order 6102, http://www.the-privateer.com/1933-gold-confiscation.html]
Such confiscation of gold was declared "essential" if the government
of the United States was to avoid bankruptcy. Listen to this explanation:
"As Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated as president on March 4, 1933,
Americans were in a state of panic. Banks were failing every day, and people
clamoured by the thousands to withdraw their money. Ordinarily they might
have accepted paper money in the form of gold certificates, but people feared
that the government might simply resort to printing worthless money to meet
the massive withdrawal requests. They didn't want paper. They wanted gold.
Furthermore, people who had gold certificates rushed to redeem them for real
gold."
"In 1933, the U.S. dollar had a very precise definition. The government
defined the dollar as 23.22 grains of gold. Since there are 480 grains to
a troy ounce, this works out to about $20.67 per troy ounce. This meant that
if you had a $20 gold certificate, you could redeem it for roughly 1 troy
ounce of gold. Each certificate bore this solemn statement: "This certifies
that there have been deposited in the Treasury of the United States Twenty
Dollars in Gold Coin payable to the bearer on demand." There are two
promises here. First, the gold is there waiting for you. Second, you'll get
the gold when you demand it. So in March 1933, thousands of people decided
to make the government honour its promise. They quickly found out that the
government was lying." ["FDR, Thief of America's Gold", by
Patrick Chkoreff, http://www.strike-the-root.com/columns/Chkoreff/chkoreff1.html]
President Roosevelt based his action to outlaw private ownership of gold
by saying that people were "hoarding" gold, when in reality, people
had become convinced that paper money was about to become worthless and so
were rushing to convert that currency into the reality of gold. Rather than
"hoarding", people simply wanted all their hard-earned savings to
be converted to gold. They had been assured that the Federal Government had
enough gold to cover every dollar in circulation, and now the people wanted
that gold given them as promised. Therefore, if the government really did
not have that amount of gold, their officials were guilty of lying and fraud.
To make matters worse, FDR very quickly made the sole owners of gold under
this new system -- the Illuminati -- filthy rich.
"Now the only people with a claim to gold in the Treasury were foreigners
holding dollars. Since he was on such a roll, Roosevelt decided to rip them
off too. On January 31, 1934, Roosevelt issued another Executive Order. Here
he declared that the dollar was now only 59.06% of its former gold quantum
of 23.22 grains. Now the dollar was only worth 13.71 grains of gold. Look
at it from the point of view of one of these hapless foreigners. It used to
cost you only $20.67 to get a troy ounce of gold. Now it cost you $35.00."
[Ibid.]
Therefore, the President effectively raised the cost of gold from just a
little over $20 per troy ounce to $35! That increase was a whopping 75%! Thus,
individuals comprising the Illuminati became more filthy rich than ever, in
just a matter of a few months! These illegal actions by FDR deepened and widened
the Great Depression, ensuring that foreign countries would be drawn more
deeply into its wake. Americans were more financially destitute than ever
and so could not spend the amount of money the economy needed to survive.
Today, America is not facing the kind of economic crisis she faced in 1933.
However, we are facing a manufactured crisis designed to bring the world under
such tight economic control that no one could buy or sell unless they had
taken the "Mark of the Beast". In hard economic times, many purchases
are made by gold and silver coinage. Food, cars, appliances, and services
can be purchased using precious metals. However, if such precious metals were
declared to be illegal to own, as FDR did, then people have lost the opportunity
to pay for goods and services with means other than the official currency.
Thus, in order to fulfill Revelation 13:16-18, the Illuminati must ensure
that no payment option exists other than the one they have stipulated, the
cashless option tied to the "Mark of the Beast".
IV. Libya shocked the world by offering to give
up her Weapons of Mass Destruction. Within days, we could see the
rationale developing as to why Gaddafi was willing to allow his efforts at
developing WMD to be discontinued and turned over to the International Community
-- United Nations.
NEWS BRIEF: "Libya to give up WMD", BBC News, December 20, 2003,
carried in Daily News Updates 12/20.
"Libya has said it will give up its programmes for developing weapons
of mass destruction and allow unconditional inspections ... UK Prime Minister
Tony Blair called the announcement "an historic one and a courageous
one" ... US President George Bush said: 'Colonel Gaddafi's's commitment,
once fulfilled, will make our country more safe and our world more peaceful.
Leaders who abandon the pursuit of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons
and the means to deliver them will find an open path to better relations with
the US and other nations'."
What a shock! Libya has reportedly been vigorously cooperating with Iran
and North Korea, and possibly even Egypt, in pursuit of her WMD capability.
Some intelligence operatives believed that North Korean and Iraqi scientists
were actually working in Libyan nuclear processing facilities, operating as
quickly as possible to develop a cooperative nuclear capability. We had always
looked upon such reports with disdain and distrust, since all Arab and/or
Muslim governments wishing to obtain a nuclear capability could simply purchase
the bombs and the technical data straight "off-the-shelf" from cash-starved
and militant Muslim Pakistan.
However, for propagandist purposes, we have been subjected for years to these
stories of Libya's WMD program. But, now, Gaddafi was willing to give all
this hard work, money and effort up to United Nations control? President Bush
and England's Prime Minister Blair immediately took credit for this "diplomatic
victory", especially Blair. One pundit was even seen remarking that,
if President Bush had pursued diplomatic options with Saddam as effectively
as Blair did with Gaddafi, our invasion of Iraq might have been unnecessary.
However, it did not take long for the true reason Gaddafi made this offer
to become apparent.
NEWS BRIEF: "Arab leaders call on Israel to follow Libya, dismantle
WMD", The Jerusalem Post, 12/21/03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/22
"Leaders in the Arab world called on Israel over the weekend to follow
Libya's example and dismantle its weapons of mass destruction. Egyptian Foreign
Minister Ahmed Maher on Saturday called on Israel to follow Libya's example
and get rid of its nuclear weapons program."
Of course, now I see the ploy exercised by Libya's dictator, Gaddafi! By
offering to give up Libya's WMD capability, Gaddafi is now insisting that
Israel give up her nuclear weapons program! Even though there is absolutely
no similarity between Israel's advanced capability and Libya's limited capability,
Arab strategists are attempting to draw a parallel between Libya's "courageous"
decision and demanding that Israel follow suit.
Since Israel is outnumbered 300 million to 6.6 million, she needs the edge
that Weapons of Mass Destruction gives her. However, if she can be pressured
to give up her nuclear capability, Arabs would suddenly erase much of the
qualitative edge in weapons system versus Israel, thus giving their enormous
quantitative edge a chance to overwhelm Israel.
At this point, you are likely objecting, protesting that Israel could not
possibly give up her nuclear weapons program. To allow herself to disarm in
this manner, she would be committing suicide. Normally, you would be correct.
However, Arab strategists have been watching Israel's Prime Minister Sharon
very carefully these past few months, and have seen how he has suddenly caved
in on one issue after another, turning completely around fully 180°! Sharon
pulled just such a turnaround in late May, when he suddenly reversed long-held
positions to abruptly support a Palestinian State [Read NEWS1817
for full details].
Sharon has similarly been hinting that he would pull a sudden reversal in
order to comply with President Bush's "Road Map" proposal. This
proposal would reward the Palestinians for their 22 years of suicide terrorism
against innocent Israelis. Therefore, you may forgive Arab strategists if
they suddenly believe they can really persuade Sharon to give up Israeli nuclear
weapons. If Sharon really attempted to disarm in this manner, he would likely
face such civil unrest that it may unseat his government. Or, he may face
armed insurrection amongst the more radical settlers, who are terribly upset
with him because he has agreed to uproot the very settlements he had earlier
promoted and protected.
Therefore, we now know that Libya's offer to give up her WMD to the International
Community -- United Nations -- is simply a ruse to get Israel to give up her
Weapons of Mass Destruction. These next articles give more credence to this
understanding.
NEWS BRIEF: "America, Britain must now pressure Israel to disarm",
The Daily Star, Arab Press, 22/12/03, carried in Daily News Updates, 12/23.
" 'Having welcomed the Libyan move on weapons of mass destruction, Washington
and London now shoulder the heavy responsibility of eliminating all banned
weapons from the Middle East region,' the daily said. 'We urge the two countries
to exert pressure on Israel now, so that it abandons its nuclear program and
joins the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel should be persuaded that its security
will neither be achieved by the use of force nor by possessing an arsenal
of weapons of mass destruction ..." [Al-Wafd (Cairo) ]
NEWS BRIEF: "Syria pushes regional WMD ban at Security Council",
The Jerusalem Post, Dec. 27, 2003, carried in Daily News Updates, 12/27.
"Syria's two-year term on the 15-nation Security Council expires at
midnight on Wednesday, and the hereditary dictatorship is pushing to crown
its term there by bringing Israel's alleged nuclear weapons stockpile to the
Council's agenda ... 'It is well known that Israel is the only country in
the region that maintains nuclear weapons and capabilities,' said one Arab
diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity."
There can be no doubt but that Libya's "generous offer" was simply
a strategic move aimed at reducing Israel's qualitative military capability
against the Arabs. Given Sharon's tendency to buckle to pressure, who can
say Israel will not actually agree to such a ridiculous demand? The time may
be coming soon when Michael, the Archangel of Israel, has to "stand up"
to defend Israel personally, as the prophecy of Daniel 12:1 foretells!
V. Israel suffered another terrorist attack this
past week.
NEWS BRIEF: "PFLP suicide bomber kills 4", The Jerusalem Post,
Dec. 26, 2003, carried in Daily News Updates, 12/26
"A suicide bomber struck at the height of the evening rush hour Thursday,
killing three women and one man and wounding 20, at a bus stop near on Route
4 (the Geha road) near Bnai Brak. While it was the first major bombing since
21 people were killed at Haifa's Maxim restaurant in October, the IDF has
thwarted at least 35 attacks in recent weeks. The bombing, claimed by the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, came just minutes after the
IAF struck in Gaza City, killing Makhled Hamed, head of Islamic Jihad's military
wing, whom the IDF had dubbed a 'ticking bomb'."
Thus, even as Israel is contemplating a potentially ruinous withdrawal to
pre-1967 borders under the "Road Map" proposal of President Bush,
the Palestinians continue to strike. In fact, as this paragraph, above, indicates,
the Palestinians would have carried out 35 more terrorist attacks had they
not been thwarted by the IDF. The Palestinians have concluded that they are
close to their diplomatic victory only because of their campaign of terror;
therefore, their response as Sharon edges toward giving them their territory
and their Palestinian State is to "keep the pressure on". The terror
will continue.
NEWS BRIEF: "Terror Is Result Of Appeasement Talk", Arutz-7 Sheva,
Dec 26, '03, carried in Daily News Updates 12/27.
"Member of Knesset Yehiel Hazan, who heads the Yesha Lobby in the Knesset,
said today (Friday) that the terrorist bombing in Petach Tikva last night
"proves that the defeatist policies that can be understood from Olmert
and Sharon about unilateral withdrawal, as well as the military refusal phenomenon,
only encourage the terrorists ,,, They understand that terrorism only leads
to more and more concessions." MK Hazan suggested that the response to
last night’s attack should be 'the immediate elimination of all the terror
heads, and foremost among them, Arafat."
This common sense proposal will fail simply because it does make such sense.
We have repeatedly wondered at the supreme irony of President Bush encouraging
and protecting Arafat's murderous rampage after emphatically stating for the
past two years that no terrorist leader would be allowed to stand and no terror
campaign would be allowed to succeed. After invading Iraq and threatening
to invade Syria, Iran, and North Korea, Bush turns to jelly in front of Arafat's
bloody terrorist campaign!
But, the Dialectic Struggle must be maintained in Israel until the international
control over Jerusalem is accomplished! In this struggle, Arafat is clearly
fulfilling the Antithesis role. Since the Dialectic Struggle works so very
well, the Illuminati uses it continuously, both at home and abroad. Consider
another way in which Sharon has suddenly caved in and reversed position.
NEWS BRIEF: "Sharon gives in: Israel will honor terror truce",
By Jerusalem Newswire Editorial Staff, December 23, 2003, carried in Daily
News Updates 12/24
"Jerusalem (jnewwire.com) - Violating his former red lines, Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon told visiting Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher Monday Israel
would respond positively to a terrorist ceasefire. The two were meeting in
Jerusalem to discuss ways to restart the stalled Road Map peace process ...
While Sharon would not commit to joining a formal ceasefire with the terror
groups, he did indicate Israel would not strike the terrorist infrastructure
if attacks against Israelis were halted.
" 'We will respond to quiet with quiet', a senior official from the
Prime Minister's Office told Ha'aretz."
Sharon thus effectively reverses his "red line" policy of not honoring
a truce without significant and apparent efforts by the Palestinian Authority
to dismantle terrorist groups and to prevent them from carrying out attacks
on Israelis. With Sharon caving in on this issue, after he has reversed policies
recently on other issues, is there any doubt but that Arab strategists are
now counting on further Sharon concessions? Even nuclear arms concessions
may not be out of the question!
VI. Pakistani President Musharraf survived a second
assassination attempt in 11 days.
NEWS BRIEF: "Al-Qaeda hand behind attempt on Pervez", By: AFP,
December 26, 2003, carried in Daily News Updates 12/26
"Al-Qaeda militants and religious fanatics are blamed to be behind an
increasingly organised effort to kill Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf,
analysts said, following the second assassination attempt in 11 days. Musharraf
escaped death on Thursday when suicide bombers rammed his motorcade with two
bomb-laden cars at a petrol station two kilometres from his residence in Rawalpindi,
adjoining Islamabad, killing 14 people and injuring 46 others. Ruling party
Senator Mushahid Hussain called the attacks a 'matter of deep concern,' especially
since the latest bid was made near Musharraf's residence, in the heart of
an area controlled by the military, which he leads."
Since 9/11, Pakistani President Musharraf has come under increasing pressure
from Pakistani militants in both the armed forces and the intelligence services
for his unswerving support of President Bush's War on Terror. Pakistani military
units have been sent against Taliban fighters, much to the chagrin of Muslim
militant commanders. Over these past two years, stories have abounded that
Musharraf was walking on thin ice and was in distinct danger of being ousted
or killed in office.
Just a year ago, American officials were reportedly concerned enough about
the possibility that Musharraf might be ousted, we openly debated whether
we should send in Special Forces units to capture Pakistani nuclear warheads!
There can be no doubt but that American military and diplomatic muscle has
kept President Musharraf alive and in power; however, given that the interval
between attack #1 and #2 was exactly '11' days -- the sacred occult number
for Antichrist -- one can only wonder if the Illuminati is finished with Musharraf
and is ready for his militant Muslim enemies to overthrow him. If this overthrow
occurs, it would happen at the very time that Iran, Syria and the Palestinians
are preparing an all-out offensive against Coalition Forces in Iraq. If Muslim
militants gain control over Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, the entire Middle
Eastern region would be dramatically destabilized. War with India might become
inevitable, a war almost guaranteed to turn nuclear.
VII. Mad Cow disease is suddenly discovered in one
American cow, sending global markets into a frenzy.
NEWS BRIEF: "U.S. Reports First Case of Mad Cow Disease", myway
news, Dec 23, carried in Daily News Updates 12/24
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first U.S. case of the deadly mad cow disease,
which devastated parts of the European agriculture industry in the 1990s,
was found in a sick animal in Washington state, the Bush administration said
on Tuesday. 'A single Holstein cow from Washington state was tested as presumptive
positive for BSE or what is widely known as mad cow disease,' U.S. Agriculture
Secretary Ann Veneman said at a news conference.'
Almost immediately, countries around the globe announced they were suspending
imports of US beef! It is amazing that one sick cow could have such repercussions,
but we have seen England's livestock industry reduced to a shadow of its former
self through the deliberately caused fear-mongering over the mild "Foot-and-Mouth"
disease. Entire herds of very healthy cows were slaughtered wholesale, sending
thousands of farmers into bankruptcy and several million British citizens
into Vegetarian diets! We covered this senseless tragedy in great detail as
it unfolded during 2001. Go to Directory of All Articles -- http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/directory.html
-- and activate your "Find" feature by hitting CTRL-F; type in "Mouth".
You will see our thorough reporting.
You will also see how this senseless slaughter produced the effects that
Environmental Activists like Jeremy Rifkin envisioned for the entire world,
and you will see how the land condemned and ruined by the slaughter of the
largely-healthy animals was later given to the United Nations' Biosphere Program!
You will see how American officials conducted a trial run to test their response
to an outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth disease, fully three months before the first
outbreak in Great Britain [NEWS1481]!
After you have read these archived articles on Foot-and-Mouth disease in
Great Britain, you will then be shocked to realize that US Secretary of Agriculture
declared a State of Emergency on September 27, 2001, just days after the 9/11
attacks! Secretary of Agriculture, Ann Veneman, declared this State of Emergency,
even though she admitted that the chances of Mad Cow in this country were
extremely slim. Isn't it interesting that our government declared a State
of Emergency over Mad Cow over two years before it ever became a problem in
this country, and that now no public declaration has to be made to declare
such an emergency; government officials may just begin to quietly implement
its provisions.
Can a similar pattern of senseless slaughter of largely-healthy herds unfold
within this country?
NEWS BRIEF: "Mad-cow quarantine grows; herds face slaughter", Seattle
Times, December 27, 2003, carried in Daily News Updates 12/27
"An intense investigation into the family tree of the nation's first
mad-cow case could lead to a quick death for hundreds, and possibly thousands,
of Central Washington cows. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) expanded
its quarantine of Washington cattle yesterday after tracing the newborn calf
of the infected cow to a Sunnyside, Yakima County, ranch. Because the calf
didn't have an identifying ear tag, federal protocols call for more than 400
calves under 30 days old to be killed and tested for the disease, said Linda
Waring, spokeswoman for the state Department of Agriculture. A second offspring
remains at the same dairy farm that was home to the infected cow, where 4,000
cows are quarantined, said USDA spokeswoman Julie Quick. The USDA has not
decided what to do with that herd."
"USDA officials say they don't know how many cattle may have to be destroyed,
but millions were killed in Great Britain during efforts there to quell a
massive outbreak ... Clive Gay, a Washington State University professor of
veterinary medicine, said destroying large numbers of cattle would create
a 'big biological mess. There is no easy way of doing it, and there's probably
no pleasant way of doing it, from the public perception,' Gay said. 'No one
likes to see funeral pyres, and no one likes to see mass graves'."
In Great Britain, the chemical used to douse the dead animals in the funeral
pyre contaminated the land so severely that farmers and ranchers could not
use it again! The land was rendered so useless, it was turned over to the
United Nations Biosphere program, an outcome that was undoubtedly planned
from the beginning.
This article declares that only 153 people worldwide have died of Mad Cow
disease, a number that hardly equals a global disaster. Yet, government officials
will overreact here just as British officials overreacted in 2001, and millions
of cows will needlessly die while thousands of farmers and ranchers needlessly
go out of business. Envioronmental Activist, Jeremy Rifkin may get his wish
in America, just as he got his wish in England. Listen:
""Entropy is a measure of the amount of energy no longer capable
of conversion into work ... Energy can only be transferred to a dissipated
state." ["Beyond Beef: The Rise and Fall of the Cattle Culture",
Ibid., p. 35]. Therefore, Rifkin and his ilk believe that we must take steps
to achieve some Low-Entropy, steady state type of economy. Conversion to this
type of economy requires not only a 'new world view', but also a draconian
crisis in order to transfer from one state to the other.
"The radical change in world view required to make this transition
will have to be accomplished virtually overnight. There will be no time for
polite debate, subtle compromise, or momentary equivocation. To succeed will
require a zealous determination -- a militancy, if you will -- of Herculean
proportions." [Ibid., p. 186].
Did you catch that last statement?
"To succeed will require a zealous determination
... militancy ... of Herculean proportions ".
Listen to some more rantings and ravings of Jeremy
Rifkin:
We consumed beef to gain power over nature and our fellow human beings ...
by choosing not to eat the flesh of cattle, we serve notice of our willingness
to enter into a new covenant with this creature ... Freeing the bovine from
the pain and indignities suffered on the modern mega-feedlots and in the slaughterhouses
is a humane act of great symbolic and practical import. Liberating these creatures
from the process of dehorning, castration, and estrus-blocking, from forced
hormone injections, massive doses of antibiotics, insecticide showers, and
an ignoble death on an automated assembly-line kill floor, is an act of contrition.
It is an acknowledgment of the damage we moderns have inflicted on the whole
of creation in pursuit of unrestrained power over the forces of nature."
[Beyond Beef, p. 288]
"Our changing relationship to the bovine ... will be a sign of the new
world in the making. The benefits of moving beyond beef will be immediate
and visible, providing tangible evidence of the life-affirming future that
awaits our children's generation." [Ibid., p. 289]
"The collapse of the global cattle complex will likely precipitate a chain
reaction, resulting in the elimination of other grain-fed meats from the human
diet." [Ibid.] There, can you see that they have no intention of stopping
at the destruction of the Beef Industry? They are going to destroy the industries
providing meat from Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, and every other type of meat that
people eat. Vegetarianism is the order of the day in this coming New World Order.
Have you noticed that some health/disease problem has suddenly erupted in all
these animal groupings? Even young horse foals are suddenly dying from some
serious malady; undoubtedly, some Animal Rights activist group is trying to
"liberate" horses from bondage by humans.
Rifkin continues: "The dissolution of the commercial cattle complex
will spare the rich and might help save the poor. Eliminating grain-fed beef
and eating lower on the food chain will dramatically reduce the incidence
of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Millions of human beings will enjoy
better health and a longer life span. Billions of dollars in health care costs
will be saved ... Liberating the land to grow grain for human beings could
trigger a large-scale human migration out from the crowded urban shanty towns
back to the countryside ... where they could take up small-scale subsistence
agriculture once again, providing their families with sustenance directly
from the earth." [Ibid., p. 291]
This is the End Game -- returning mankind back to the earth, forcibly moving
them from "crowded urban" areas so they can gain their "sustenance
directly" from Mother Earth, the Goddess Gaia. Of course, since mankind
will never appreciate what these Illuminist leaders are doing "for them",
they will have to be dragged kicking, screaming, and dying, into this Brave
New World. First, the Beef Industry and all other meat-producing Industries,
have to be forcibly destroyed, and removed from their land.
This forced removal of urban dwellers from their land and dissolution of
our Industrial Civilization is called, "Re-Wilding", which we explain
fully in NEWS1368.
Rifkin concludes his book thusly: "By doing battle with 'the world steer',
a new generation expresses its sensitivity to the biosphere and its regard
for the plight of the poor. By eliminating beef from the human diet, our species
takes a significant step toward a new species consciousness, reaching out
in a spirit of shared partnership with the bovine, and, by extension, other
sentient creatures with whom we share the earth." [Ibid.]
With such flowery language, Jeremy Rifkin concludes his most draconian book.
Because the "Ends Justify the Means", all the anguish, turmoil,
and financial ruin of honest, hard-working ranchers and farmers will mean
nothing once the Utopia of a meat-free culture is realized.
Britain first, America second. As we have stated in past articles, American
officials have been making preparations to carry out on a larger scale what
the British practiced on a smaller scale in their beleaguered country. American
state officials have made their draconian plans. Soon, it will be our turn
to see our entire meat-producing industry wantonly destroyed.
Are we at this point, with "Mad Cow" disease? The really bad news
is that Jeremy Rifkin's "rantings and ravings" represent official
Illuminati planning! This new global crisis may just force the shift to Vegetarianism
and the forced removal of the farmer and rancher from his land. "Re-Wilding"
is the order of the day.

---------Conclusion----------------"The
harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." [Jeremiah
8:20]
Not saved! Dear reader, is this your mournful plight? Warned of the judgment
to come, bidden to escape for your life, and yet at this moment not saved!
You know the way of salvation, you read it in the Bible, you hear it from
the pulpit, it is explained to you by friends, and yet you neglect it, and
therefore you are not saved. You will be without excuse when the Lord
shall judge the quick and dead. The Holy Spirit has given more or
less of blessing upon the word which has been preached in your hearing, and
times of refreshing have come from the divine presence, and yet you
are without Christ. All these hopeful seasons have come and gone--your
summer and your harvest have past--and yet you are not saved. Years have followed
one another into eternity, and your last year will soon be here: youth has
gone, manhood is going, and yet you are not saved. Let me ask you--will
you ever be saved? Is there any likelihood of it? Already the
most propitious seasons have left you unsaved; will other occasions
alter your condition? Means have failed with you--the best of means, used
perseveringly and with the utmost affection--what more can be done for you?
Affliction and prosperity have alike failed to impress you; tears and prayers
and sermons have been wasted on your barren heart. Are not the probabilities
dead against your ever being saved? Is it not more than likely that you will
abide as you are till death for ever bars the door of hope? Do you recoil
from the supposition? Yet it is a most reasonable one: he who is not
washed in so many waters will in all probability go filthy to his end.
The convenient time never has come, why should it ever come? It is logical
to fear that it never will arrive, and that Felix-like, you will find no convenient
season till you are in hell. O bethink you of what that hell is, and of the
dread probability that you will soon be cast into it!
Reader, suppose you should die unsaved, your doom no words can picture. Write
out your dread estate in tears and blood, talk of it with groans and gnashing
of teeth: you will be punished with everlasting destruction from the glory
of the Lord, and from the glory of His power. A brother's voice would fain
startle you into earnestness. O be wise, be wise in time, and ere another
year begins, believe in Jesus, who is able to save to the uttermost. Consecrate
these last hours to lonely thought, and if deep repentance be bred in you,
it will be well; and if it lead to a humble faith in Jesus, it will be best
of all. O see to it that this year pass not away, and you an unforgiven spirit.
Let not the new year's midnight peals sound upon a joyless spirit! Now, NOW,
NOW believe, and live.
