The Use of Military Force Within The U.S. Preps Citizens for What's to Come. Its Time to Look Up.
The America Civil Liberties Union writes: New Authorization of Worldwide War Without End?
Congress may soon vote on a new declaration of worldwide war without end, and without clear enemies. A “sleeper provision” deep inside defense bills pending before Congress could become the single biggest hand-over of unchecked war authority from Congress to the executive branch in modern American history.
President Obama has not sought new war authority. In fact, his administration has made clear that it believes it already has all of the authority that it needs to fight terrorism.
But Congress is considering monumental new legislation that would grant the president – and all presidents after him – sweeping new power to make war almost anywhere and everywhere. Unlike previous grants of authority for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, the proposed legislation would allow a president to use military force wherever terrorism suspects are present in the world, regardless of whether there has been any harm to U.S. citizens, or any attack on the United States, or any imminent threat of an attack. The legislation is broad enough to permit a president to use military force within the United States and against American citizens. The legislation contains no expiration date, and no criteria to determine when a president’s authority to use military force would end.
Of all of the powers that the Constitution assigns to Congress, no power is more fundamental or important than the power “to declare War.” That is why, in 2002, when Congress was considering whether to authorize war in Iraq, it held fifteen hearings, and passed legislation that cited specific harms, set limits, and defined a clear objective. Now, Congress is poised to give unchecked authority to the executive branch to use military force worldwide, with profoundly negative consequences for our fundamental democratic system of checks and balances. Once Congress expands the president’s war power, it will be nearly impossible to rein it back in. The ACLU strongly opposes a wholesale turnover of war power from Congress to the president – and all of his successors.

AMERICA, A POLICE STATE - OR MY IMAGINATION?
AMERICA POLICE STATE OR MY IMAGINATION?
In 2001, Supreme Court authorized Detention of American Citizens
Are we being fed propaganda from the United States Government where our lives, my life and the lives of my children, my children’s children and my great-grandchildren are concerned, for the sake of public panic? For those unfamiliar with the word ‘propaganda’ it means “Half Truths.”
The results of research and my writing Vengeance of War, has both saddened and angered me at the courage or enterprising mentalities of our World Leaders. What ever happened to morality and respect for human life? Ever since our government leaders decided to remove “God” from sources of the criminal justice court systems, our educational systems, and the old fashion ways of disciplining your child, which are forever gone from our value systems, this old adage comes to mind: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”.
The American People have become so dull of mind and brainwashed with the antics of Hollywood, the fear of the government, and no respect for the sanctity of the Holy Bible, makes me furious because of what is definitely on the horizon for the American people under the guise of Humanitarianism.
All the while, we Americans go to the polls and vote for people who we try to believe will do some good for the betterment of the people – that’s a joke with no punch line, I personally think that, “For the People and By the People” in our Declaration of Independence, these words are smudged by innocent blood running through our nation’s streets from coast to coast and abroad; detrimental cover-ups against the American people by American and Foreign governments, and global mind-control coupled with Imperialism, and for what – oil and monetary gain for World supremacy? Please, give me a break.
And when it’s over, done with, gone, I’m told these fellas will be casting their gold and silver to the rodents, running for fear of the Day of the Lord.
Everyone has heard of the new bill signed into law on December 31, 2011, by the U.S. President, which has sparked enormous concern for the “Civil Liberties” of the American people –“The National Defense Authorization Act.” As a writer, I am prone to take apart words and put them back together again, now the words ‘national and defense’ sparks interest to me because, defending the United States of America has prompted so much debt, most Americans could not phantom the amounts spent under this guise, thinking, ‘Oh, the defense budget, well, that sounds like we should have our military forces empowered to protect us, so I guess that’s okay.”
If you do a little checking behind those people you trust in Washington, you would find out why this American is steaming. With our “defense budget” the United States of America, home of the brave, land of the free, is using untold amounts of financial resources, tax-payer monies too, to finance secret and covert operations that our other “secret” government does not want many of us to know-- that’s another story – except you become suspect towards their dealings versus what they are telling the American public. Please look at the "The Big Picture."
In compiling my research and the controversy of the newly signed Act, I’ve come across some interesting information, to give anyone with reasonable intelligence a reason to be very afraid of what’s next on the horizon. “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free”-von Goethe.
First of all, as if to say this isn’t enough, the controversy of the newly signed Act, centers on sections of the bill that would purportedly allow the U.S. government to detain U.S. citizens indefinitely without trial or even being charged –supposedly suspect of being affiliated with terrorist organizations- emphasis added. The Examiner, states, “If true, the claims would be very disturbing; Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution states, “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.”
Upon closer examination and research, , the wording of the statement, much like the wording of the law, is intentionally misleading. In the statement, the White House asserts according to The Examiner::
“Section 1021 affirms the executive branch’s authority to detain persons covered by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note). This section breaks no new ground and is unnecessary. The authority it describes was included in the 2001 AUMF, as recognized by the Supreme Court and confirmed through lower court decisions since then. Two critical limitations in section 1021 confirm that it solely codifies established authorities. First, under section 1021(d), the bill does not “limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.”
Unfortunately, the “established authorities” being codified [To reduce to a code: to codify laws - emphasis added] do allow for the indefinite detention of United States citizens, a measure approved by the Supreme Court in the Authorization for Use of Military Force of September 18, 2001.
Now, this is FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, immediate release, dated December 31, 2011: “ the President speaking…
…..Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens.. . . My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.
Notwithstanding, for example, under the definition of the legislation, the President could authorize the military to attack the ACLU building because they have supported the “terrorists” by arguing for their civil rights. OUCH!
I am not a rocket scientist, but I think this man is saying he does have authoriaztion to detain, and with trial; may detain indefinately, and that any detention by the United States Government comply with the U.S. Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law. When the Supreme Court authorized the detention of American citizens in 2001, the measure became Constitutional. Hope I don’t miss anything, how about you? Double OUCH!
Secondly, “Under the heading of ‘civil disturbance planning’, the U.S. military is training troops and police to suppress democratic or, self-governing opposition in America.” Current U.S. military preparations for suppressing domestic civil disturbance, including the training of National Guard troops and police, are actually part of a long history of American 'internal security' measures, dating back to the first American Revolution. Generally, these measures have sought to thwart the aims of social justice movements, embodying the concept that within the civilian body, politics lurks an enemy that one day the military might have to fight, or at least be ordered to fight.” This tells me, I better not even think about protesting my Constitutional Rights, and have the overtone of defending someone who was arrested under ‘suspect’ within these laws. OUCH. http://www.hermes-press.com/police_state.htm
Because there are different political perspectives as to what an appropriate balance is between individual freedom and national security, there are no definitive objective standards to determine whether the term “police state” applies to a particular nation at any given point in time. Thus, it is difficult to evaluate objectively, the truth of allegations that a nation is, or is not becoming, a police state.
One way to view the concept of the police state and the free state is through the medium of a balance or scale, whereby any law focused on removing liberty is seen as moving towards a police state, and any law which limits government oversight, is seen as moving towards a free state An electronic police state is one in which the government aggressively uses electronic technologies to record, organize, search and distribute forensic evidence against its citizens.
To me, that sounds like the current state of ourUnited States of America and reflect the serious fact that, the U.S. Government can declare you a terrorist, enemy combatant or a threat to national security and revoke your Constitutional Rights, and then play the “National Security” card when asked to explain their allegations—what ‘code’ will that be?. That’s a Double Whamy.
Under the former 1989 Guidelines, the FBI first had to obtain evidence suggesting some kind of criminal activity before its agents could begin investigating. Under the FBI's new May 30, 2002 revised Guidelines, FBI agents are authorized to carry out “general topical research” and retain files on this research. The 1989 and the new 2002 Guidelines expressly state that the FBI must not launch investigations “based solely on [citizens’] activities protected by the First Amendment or on the lawful exercise of any other [federal or Constitutional] rights.”
Between the years of 1956-1971, the F.B.I. conducted domestic “counterintelligence programs” (COINTELPRO) to spy on, intimidate, and radicalize political dissident or, rebel groups. The F.B.I. had carried out covert operations throughout its history, but the target of the COINTELPRO operations was [then] radical political organizations.
However, the F.B.I., military, and police forces have a notorious record of illegally quashing citizen dissent. Frank Morales's article, “U.S. Military Civil Disturbance Planning” in the Spring-Summer, 2000 issue of Covert Action Quarterly, exposed “Operation Garden Plot.” Check it out.
Public panic can not be overstated neither overrated, and very well may be guidelines that governmental officials should use because of the various personality types "running" around all over the world, looking at the big picture. However, consider this bit of information that, many of you may already have read or know of in reference to what is termed a "false flag":

However, consider this bit of information that, many of you may already have read or know of in reference to what is termed a "false flag":
A false flag operation is best described as a covert operation conducted by “governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities.” cited from wikipedia.com
Excerpt from Exopolitics.org. Emphasis added.
The second factor to consider for false flag operations is the need by the "secret" government to maintain exclusive control of all extraterrestrial technology and evidence found around the world. This involves the removal of any physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation from the public realm, and the relocation of this to the classified scientific laboratories of the US or other major nations.
There are numerous instances of extraterrestrial vehicles crashing around the planet. These have been documented and analyzed in a recent book by Ryan Woods, Majic Eyes Only. In all these cases, governments are expected to comply either through inducements or sanctions with these covert efforts led by the secret government which is global in scope. National leaders who do not comply run the great risk of being removed from office.
The third exopolitical factor is the need to gain control of any territory that once hosted ancient civilizations that contain artifacts providing valuable information or technology left by extraterrestrials. These ancient civilizations have buried within their ruins much information and even technology gained through extraterrestrial intervention that allegedly occurred millennia ago. For example, there is much evidence that the ancient Sumerian civilization was sponsored by an extraterrestrial civilization known as the Anunnaki. Sumer, known as the cradle of western civilization, was located in southern Iraq and was subjected to a number of archeological excavations supported by Saddam Hussein’s regime.
There is growing evidence that the 1991 and 2003 US led military interventions in Iraq were aimed at gaining access to some of the ancient archeological sites in Iraq in order to find any information or technology concerning the Anunnaki. The fabrication of intelligence data concerning Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and alliance with terrorist organizations was a false flag operation intended to justify US military intervention in 2003 in order to ensure Iraq’s extraterrestrial assets could not be exploited by Hussein’s regime or fall into the hands of strategic competitors such as Russia and China. Evidence for this fabrication came in the September 2006 Report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that confirms that intelligence data used to justify the Iraq war was ‘overstated’.
The fourth exopolitical factor concerns the use of weather modification technologies that former Secretary of State William Cohen confirmed as existing in 1997. See “Postwar Findings about Iraq's WMD Programs and Links to Terrorism and How they Compare with Prewar Assessments”, available at: http://intelligence.senate.gov/phaseiiaccuracy.pdf . htp://www.fas.org/news/usa/1997/04/bmd970429d.htm .

Jewish prophecy suggests Messiah may be coming soon -
12/2011
It never ceases to amaze me, how that the Almighty is so amazing! It is a pleasure to have written for the LORD. Thank you, Beloved.
Looking over my newsreel from the site here, the Israeli National News, the Hand of the Lord led me to an article which reads- in part:
Jewish prophecy suggests Messiah may be coming soon -
Tuesday December 6, 2011 ChristianNewsToday.com
"A medieval [an era in history] Jewish prophecy regarding the coming of Israel's Messiah appears to correspond to the current situation in the Middle East, Israel National News reported at the weekend." [emphasis added]
"A piece of rabbinic literature known as the Yalkut Shimoni touches on many future scenarios both for the nation of Israel and for the world. In its section on the biblical Book of Isaiah and the prophecies contained therein, a rabbi cited by the Yalkut Shimoni states:
"In the year in which the Messiah-King appears, all the nations of the world are provoking each other. The King of Persia - Iran- provokes an Arab king [could be Iraq or Jordan] where the Arab king turns to Aram [ In the Bible, an ancient country of southwest Asia, [Southwest Asia encompasses, [Syria], Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan] roughly coextensive [having the same boundaries] with present-day Syria] for advice." [emphasis added]
"That description closely mirrors Iran's defiant nuclear program and the tension it is creating with Arab states, particularly Saudi Arabia. But what happens next? According to the Yalkut Shimoni:
"The King of Persia with their defiant nuclear program] goes back and destroys the entire world. And all the nations of the world are in panic and distress and they fall upon their faces and are seized with pains like those of a woman giving birth..."
Now lets stop here for a moment and take a closer look at what is being said. Many times, we readers of the news may or may not take an article for its face value; however, many of us do, in the natural. But when it comes to supernatural references, we read it and also may take it all too lightly. The above prophecy from the Yalkut Shimoni speaks, "In the year the Messiah King appears, all the Nations of the World are provoking each other." This word means to incite, irritate, hassle, or anger. Now, notice the word the reporter used tension; to strain, stress, pressure or apprehension.
This is where it gets exciting for me. We are going to chew this very slowly. In Vengeance, Chapter 7, Dawn to Darkness (A look back for the Future), derived from the Scriptures, the Lord speaks these words:
"When you hear of Wars and Revolutions, do not be frightened; these things must happen first, but the End will not come right away. Nation will rise against Nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be Great Earthquakes, Famines and Pestilences in various places, fearful events and great signs from Heaven. There will be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars. On the Earth, Nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the Sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the World, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of Me. When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by Armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea, flee to the Mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment, in fulfillment of all that has been Written."NIV Luke 21; You Must Take This As Substantial Evidence. The Lord Has Spoken.
The reporter continues with the prophecy:
"And all the nations of the world are in panic and distress and they fall upon their faces and are seized with pains like those of a woman giving birth..."
In Chapter 12, Battle Cry, these words are spoken:
"Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like Nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war. They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens—the LORD and the weapons of His wrath—to destroy the whole country. Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Because of this, all hands will go limp; every man’s heart will melt. Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, all their faces aflame."
How could I have known at the time Vengeance was being written? Vengeance of War was written in 1995.
The article continues.
What does all this mean for Israel, assuming the Yalkut Shimoni is accurate? The text reads:
"...and Israel are in panic and distress and asking 'where shall we go? Where shall we go?,' and He says to them 'my sons, do not fear; all that I have done, I have done only for you. Why are you afraid? Do not fear, your time of redemption has come, and the final redemption is not like the first redemption, because the first redemption was followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms, but the final redemption is not followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms."
This prophet went as far as to tell Israel, "Do not fear, your time of redemption has come.." Lets look at Chapter 12 -Judgment, Deliverance, Restoration:
But now, this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O' Jacob, He who formed you, O' Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I Am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I Am with you; I will bring your children from the East and gather you from the West. I will say to the North, ‘Give them up!’ and to the South, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the Earth—everyone who is called by My Name, whom I created for My Glory, whom I formed and made. Lead out those who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.
All the Nations gather together, and the people assemble. Which of them foretold this and proclaimed to us these former things? Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right, so that others may hear and say, ‘It is true.’ “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I Am He. Before Me, no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. I, even I, Am the LORD, and apart from Me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are My witnesses, declares the LORD, that I Am God. Yes, and from ancient days, I Am He. No one can deliver out of My Hand. When I act, who can reverse it? I Am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”
The Almighty in my opinion, is telling Israel, you have nothing to fear-no one can deliver out of My Hand. It sounds like He is giving Israel a very straight promise. So there you have it; Israel may be suffering a little anxiety right now, but he has nothing to fear. I tell you, Vengeance of War has proven to be a very timely and significant novel, written under the Hand and Direction of the Spirit of the Lord.
It never ceases to amaze me, how that the Almighty is so amazing! It is a pleasure to have written for the LORD. Thank you, Beloved.

Tuesday December 6, 2011 ChristianNewsToday.com
"A medieval [an era in history] Jewish prophecy regarding the coming of Israel's Messiah appears to correspond to the current situation in the Middle East, Israel National News reported at the weekend." [emphasis added]
"A piece of rabbinic literature known as the Yalkut Shimoni touches on many future scenarios both for the nation of Israel and for the world. In its section on the biblical Book of Isaiah and the prophecies contained therein, a rabbi cited by the Yalkut Shimoni states:
"In the year in which the Messiah-King appears, all the nations of the world are provoking each other. The King of Persia - Iran- provokes an Arab king [could be Iraq or Jordan] where the Arab king turns to Aram [ In the Bible, an ancient country of southwest Asia, [Southwest Asia encompasses, [Syria], Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan] roughly coextensive [having the same boundaries] with present-day Syria] for advice." [emphasis added]
"That description closely mirrors Iran's defiant nuclear program and the tension it is creating with Arab states, particularly Saudi Arabia. But what happens next? According to the Yalkut Shimoni:
"The King of Persia with their defiant nuclear program] goes back and destroys the entire world. And all the nations of the world are in panic and distress and they fall upon their faces and are seized with pains like those of a woman giving birth..."
Now lets stop here for a moment and take a closer look at what is being said. Many times, we readers of the news may or may not take an article for its face value; however, many of us do, in the natural. But when it comes to supernatural references, we read it and also may take it all too lightly. The above prophecy from the Yalkut Shimoni speaks, "In the year the Messiah King appears, all the Nations of the World are provoking each other." This word means to incite, irritate, hassle, or anger. Now, notice the word the reporter used tension; to strain, stress, pressure or apprehension.
This is where it gets exciting for me. We are going to chew this very slowly. In Vengeance, Chapter 7, Dawn to Darkness (A look back for the Future), derived from the Scriptures, the Lord speaks these words:
"When you hear of Wars and Revolutions, do not be frightened; these things must happen first, but the End will not come right away. Nation will rise against Nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be Great Earthquakes, Famines and Pestilences in various places, fearful events and great signs from Heaven. There will be signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars. On the Earth, Nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the Sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the World, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. All men will hate you because of Me. When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by Armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea, flee to the Mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment, in fulfillment of all that has been Written."NIV Luke 21; You Must Take This As Substantial Evidence. The Lord Has Spoken.
The reporter continues with the prophecy:
"And all the nations of the world are in panic and distress and they fall upon their faces and are seized with pains like those of a woman giving birth..."
In Chapter 12, Battle Cry, these words are spoken:
"Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like Nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war. They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens—the LORD and the weapons of His wrath—to destroy the whole country. Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Because of this, all hands will go limp; every man’s heart will melt. Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, all their faces aflame."
How could I have known at the time Vengeance was being written? Vengeance of War was written in 1995.
The article continues.
What does all this mean for Israel, assuming the Yalkut Shimoni is accurate? The text reads:
"...and Israel are in panic and distress and asking 'where shall we go? Where shall we go?,' and He says to them 'my sons, do not fear; all that I have done, I have done only for you. Why are you afraid? Do not fear, your time of redemption has come, and the final redemption is not like the first redemption, because the first redemption was followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms, but the final redemption is not followed by sorrow and servitude under other kingdoms."
This prophet went as far as to tell Israel, "Do not fear, your time of redemption has come.." Lets look at Chapter 12 -Judgment, Deliverance, Restoration:
But now, this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O' Jacob, He who formed you, O' Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I Am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I Am with you; I will bring your children from the East and gather you from the West. I will say to the North, ‘Give them up!’ and to the South, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the Earth—everyone who is called by My Name, whom I created for My Glory, whom I formed and made. Lead out those who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.
All the Nations gather together, and the people assemble. Which of them foretold this and proclaimed to us these former things? Let them bring in their witnesses to prove they were right, so that others may hear and say, ‘It is true.’ “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I Am He. Before Me, no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. I, even I, Am the LORD, and apart from Me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are My witnesses, declares the LORD, that I Am God. Yes, and from ancient days, I Am He. No one can deliver out of My Hand. When I act, who can reverse it? I Am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”
The Almighty in my opinion, is telling Israel, you have nothing to fear-no one can deliver out of My Hand. It sounds like He is giving Israel a very straight promise. So there you have it; Israel may be suffering a little anxiety right now, but he has nothing to fear. I tell you, Vengeance of War has proven to be a very timely and significant novel, written under the Hand and Direction of the Spirit of the Lord.
THE UNDECISIVENESS OF NATIONS: THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST "SEVEN"
NOT ONE MINUTE AFTER..
"ISRAEL" HAS CERTAINLY MADE THE NEWS AT EVERY PAT AND TURN. THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS AND THE WARS SURROUNDING THOSE NATIONS HAVE MANY OF US WEARY AND TIRED OF THE UNDECISIVENESS OF NATIONS BATTLING BACK AND FORTH. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE CURE FOR ALL THIS COMMOTION?
HAVE YOU HEARD?
HAVE YOU HEARD?
The US drone program is the subject of an exposé published in the Washington Post on Wednesday, headlined “Under Obama, an emerging global apparatus of drone killing.” While restrained in its presentation, the Post article is a chilling account of a government that has asserted for itself the right to kill anyone, anywhere in the world, without even a pretense of legal proceedings. The lives of thousands of people have been wiped out in this manner.
The US drone program, according to the Post, “involves dozens of secret facilities, including two operational hubs on the East Coast, virtual Air Force cockpits in the Southwest and clandestine bases in six countries on two continents.”
A study by the Congressional Budget Office concluded that the US had 775 Predator and other drone aircraft, plus an unknown number operated by the CIA as part of covert operations. Not including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, assassinations have been carried out in at least three countries. The recent downing of a drone over Iran, however, points to much broader operations.
One of Obama’s first actions as president was to order a Predator drone attack on Pakistan. Since then, nearly 240 attacks have been carried out against the country, killing thousands, mostly civilians. Some 15 strikes have been launched against Yemen, and several others in Somalia.
The actions of the Obama administration, and the vast growth in the secret powers of the CIA and the military, go far beyond these past crimes.
Extra-judicial state-sanctioned killing is a metastasis of the global “war on terror,” an escalation of international criminality that has included the launching of aggressive wars, indefinite detention, and torture. It has become a central component of US military policy, including the war in Libya, which was concluded with the US-backed assassination of Muammar Gaddafi. Obama has singled out the extra-legal killing of Osama bin Laden as a high point and defining moment of his administration.
Unbridled violence and the suppression of democracy are two sides of the same process. The revelations by the Post come less than two weeks after the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, which for the first time provides an explicit congressional imprimatur [an authorization allowing a book or other work to be published, now usually confined to works sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church] on the indefinite military detention of US citizens and non-citizens alike, at the discretion of the president. The act effectively abolishes the writ of habeaus corpus and basic constitutional guarantees of due process. OUCH!
SINCE ISRAEL BECAME A SOVEREIGN IN 1948, IT LENDS TO CONCLUDE THAT ONLY 7 YEARS ARE LEFT TO FINISH UP DANIEL'S 70-WEEK PROPHECY. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST "SEVEN"
According to Daniel 9:27, the antichrist ‘confirms a covenant’ between Israel and her enemies. This ‘covenant’, or treaty, is confirmed as an agreement of seven year’s duration. [Not coincidentally, the exact length of the Tribulation Period – Daniel’s 70th Week].
The Book of Daniel says that from the signing of that treaty until it is broken by the antichrist is three and one-half years [time, times and a half’ (Dan 12:7)]. To further confirm it, from the breaking of that treaty at the midpoint until the return of Christ is precisely 1260 days – three and one-half years.
We have already seen the precision with which God counted down sixty-nine weeks of years. One week remains. There is no reason to think God has fired His accountant. So, logically, anyone familiar with the Scriptures who observes the breaking of the treaty with Israel by antichrist could know exactly, to the day, when Jesus was to return.
But wait! What about what Jesus Himself said of His coming? He said, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” [Matthew 24:36].
Clearly, He could not have been speaking of the same event that could be so easily calculated.

Paul writes, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [precede] them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
This secret Advent, in which the Lord comes for His Church in the air, is not the same event as the one in which He puts His foot upon the Mount of Olives, splitting it in two [Zechariah 14:4]
Paul’s description of the Lord’s coming has Him coming in the air, not touching down to earth.
Paul is referring to what is commonly called the Rapture of the Church. Since this secret Advent’s timing cannot, according to Jesus, be calculated, it cannot be the same event as the Second Coming.
That Triumphant Return can be calculated precisely one minute after the antichrist signs the 7-year treaty.
Since the Tribulation Period is the time of ‘Jacob’s Trouble’ – Daniel’s 70th Week, it is a time reserved for Israel, not the Church. Remember, it is to make ‘reconciliation for sin’ and to ‘bring in everlasting righteousness’.
For the Church during the Church Age, those goals were already accomplished at the Cross.
The national sovereignty that once allowed us to create a free enterprise economy along with political and religious freedom is being surrendered by our modern political leaders. These leaders no longer believe in a patriotic love of their nation, and have adopted a philosophy of globalism and the desire to become a world citizen.
At the same time, technological advancement in surveillance equipment, such as the global spy system Project Echelon, is destroying our privacy and is setting the stage for the totalitarian police state described by the prophet John.
John wrote about the Mark of the Beast system in the last days in his book Revelation. The development of sophisticated new weapons systems, including suitcase sized tactical nuclear weapons, biological, and chemical weapons of mass destruction and computerized information warfare, can neutralize an enemy's economy and infrastructure.
New weapons using electromagnetic forces for mind control enable us to understand how the kingdom of the Antichrist could quickly establish global domination.
Jesus Christ warned that the world would experience a tremendous historical crisis just before He returned to establish His Kingdom. This crisis, He indicated, would bring about an unprecedented "great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Matthew 24:21).
This "time of tribulations" is described in both Daniel 9:27 and the book of Revelation as lasting a period of seven years. The prophets also warned that the most evil man in history would arise during this last generation and would be satanically empowered to seize political, economic, military, and religious control of the entire world's population.
This man is identified by a number of names throughout the Scriptures including the "lawless one," "the man of sin," "the Wicked," and even "the abomination of desolation." Yet he is best known by the name given to him by the prophet John in his second epistle --- the "Antichrist."
The book of Revelation promises a special blessing to anyone who reads and studies this prophecy. "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near" (Revelation 1:3).
•Yet, there is no other book in the Bible that is studied less than the book of Revelation. Our Lord Jesus Christ spoke of those who would ignore the prophecies about His return. He said, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken" (Luke 24:25).
The Word of God clearly commands believers to pay attention to the prophetic portions of the Scriptures. The apostle Peter assures us that "We have a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts" (2 Peter 1:19)

The message of prophecy is vital to the Church in these last days for four basic reasons. The first is that the accuracy of the prophetic message absolutely proves the inspiration of the Scriptures and validates the message of Jesus Christ as the inspired Word of God. Secondly, the prophecies call upon Christians to live in holiness in an immoral world.
"And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure" (I John 3:3).
In the same manner that Jesus urgently witnessed to His generation, because He knew that it was rapidly coming to judgment with the destruction of Israel in 70 A.D., the message of prophecy now indicates that our generation is rapidly approaching the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
As our Lord Himself warned, our time to witness to those around us is limited. In light of the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ we need to witness to our generation while we have the opportunity.

IRAQ IS OVER - BUT WHAT IS ON THE DRAWING BOARD?
IRAQ IS OVER - BUT WHAT IS ON THE DRAWING BOARD?
Public opinion is largely unaware of the grave implications of these war plans, which contemplate the use of nuclear weapons, ironically in retaliation to Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons ...program. Moreover, 21st Century military technology combines an array of sophisticated weapons systems whose destructive power would overshadow the nuclear holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Lest we forget, the United States is the only country to have used nuclear weapons against civilians.
Militarization at the global level is instrumented through the US military’s Unified Command structure: the entire planet is divided up into geographic Combatant Commands under the control of the Pentagon. According to former NATO Commander General Wesley Clark, the Pentagon’s military road-map consists of a sequence of war theaters: “[The] five-year campaign plan [includes]... a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.” Like a cancer, the US war unleashed in 2003 on Iraq is mutating into a global disease.
While The New York Times and other mainstream media outlets hailed 15 December 2011 as marking the “official” end of the nearly nine-year US war in Iraq, in reality that devastated country will remain an American war theater for the foreseeable future.
Pentagon military advisers and contractors will continue to reside there and the people of Iraq will for generations be left with a legacy of US-imposed conflict and barbarity. The Pentagon’s “shock and awe” campaign in Iraq may have subsided, but its repercussions and criminal precedents are still very much extant, not only in Iraq but in the wider region and, increasingly, globally.
For those who think that the United States wouldn't possibly instigate another war in the Middle East, think again. Empowered by his "success" in the bombing of Libya and consequent assassination of Muammar Qaddafi, Obama is now seeking to use the exact same strategy against Syria, while using alarming military threats against Iran. In both cases the U.S. is creating the conditions for war in a region that is already boiling over from decades of U.S. backed dictators combined with past U.S. military aggression.
In Syria, the Libya war formula is being implemented with precision: in the name of protecting "human rights,” the U.S. is enlisting the Arab League to open the gates for a U.S.-backed "coalition" of regional countries to implement a "no fly zone,” i.e. war.
Global Research, December 31, 2011 - OUCH!
