COMMENTARY & OPINION

AMERICA - A NATION OF RIP VAN WINKLES

As recently as a year ago, a number of patriotic journalists were writing news letters directed toward waking America and recovering the republic we never had. It would seem those journalists have become very pessimistic in the past year.  Dave Hodges has been one of those journalists and the following is a recent article of his.  

It would seem that Dave has had a "blinding flash of the obvious", which is that "The US Cannot be Saved."

Why the US Cannot Be Saved

 


Dave Hodges
January 25, 2014

I receive many emails from well-intentioned and intelligent readers who hold up Iceland as a shining example of what America must do in order to save herself. I agree, in principle with the people who wrote to me that we should emulate Iceland. The Icelanders have demonstrated tremendous resilience, courage and vision to overcome and, at least temporarily, defeat the banksters while restoring their economy.

The people of Iceland have more courage in their little finger than America has in its entire being. Iceland’s financial failure forced its government to resign or be removed, and it also caused citizens to re-evaluate the merits of their reckless spending, borrowing and consumption. Just how did Iceland do it?

Iceland’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimmson was interviewed earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos on why Iceland has enjoyed such a strong recovery after it’s complete financial collapse in 2008, while the rest of the West is still mired in debt, poverty and hopelessness, to go with empty promises of an economic recovery.

When asked whether Iceland’s policy of letting the banks fail would have worked in the rest of Europe, Grimsson stated:

“… Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail-out banks is a theory that you allow bankers to enjoy for their own profit their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. 
People in enlightened democracies are not going to accept that in the long run. …“

Imagine that, let the banks fail! Let the criminal bankers take the same risk as any other business venture. Can we imagine Obama ever speaking this way in public? In fact, if the United States was Iceland, President Obama, John McCain, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Lindsay Graham, Hillary Clinton, Valerie Jarrett, G.W. Bush, G. H. W. Bush, Lloyd Blankfein, Tim Geithner, Hank Paulson, Jon Corzine, Peter Sutherland, Ben Bernanke, et al., would all be in prison.

And nearly six years later, where is Iceland today? In just the first year following the repudiation of the debt, the Icelanders economy grew by 2.6%. Banks failed, bankers and politicians were jailed and these brave people wrestled control of their lives back.

If the Icelanders could get their hands on Goldman Sachs officials they would. They impeached and convicted corrupt politicians who were in league with Wall Street, many of whom are serving prison sentences. Iceland is on its way to a full economic recovery while still saying no to the corrupt Goldman Sachs influences in Europe. Iceland is saying no to the Bank of International Settlement. Iceland is a beacon of hope for the rest of the G20 nations including the United States. Yet, the courage on display by the Icelanders will never be on display in the United States.

Americans Aren’t Icelanders

 

There are a number reasons that America will never throw off the shackles of the Bastards from Basel. First and foremost, we, as a country, are just too plain stupid. Through repeated and failed education programs, such as Goals 2000, No Child Left Behind and now the substandard Common Core, Americans lack the basic sense to organize against anything, much less a virulent pack of banksters.

Additionally, at the end of the day, the Icelanders victory will prove to be inconsequential and very temporary. When the international forces align against Iceland for some contrived excuse, their government will collapse like a house of cards and the banksters will be back in control. We have seen it in Egypt, Libya and soon it will be Iceland’s turn.

The Duck Dynasty worshiping, American Idol watching country can’t even find England on a map 65% of the time. A whopping 80% cannot find Iraq on a map, 55% cannot name the Vice President and America reads nearly two whole grade levels lower than they did only a 40 years ago. In short, the rank and file of our citizenry lacks the intelligence to organize their collective shoes in the closet.

Change can be painful and America has become a soft nation. We are not only an ignorant nation, we are the most obese nation on the planet. Most of the people in this country could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag. My military sources tell me that there have been serious discussions among the military leadership about how they would fight a guerrilla war against the bankster occupation forces which will consist mostly of the Chinese and the Russians. What is holding them back is that they do not feel that they can count on the support from the rank and file of this population. The military believes that maybe, on a good day, 2-3% of the adult males would stand with dissident military forces. I never thought I would write this, but the American people are no tougher than the French and the French haven’t won a war in over 200 years.

I do expect that the factions of the military are going to rise and put up some resistance. However, no revolution can be successful without the support of the people.

Conclusion

 

Well-intentioned people write to me and tell me how 250 million gun owners are going to throw off the chains of slavery. If that were going to happen, it would have happened nearly six years ago. In 2008, the banksters, led by Hank Paulson, helped themselves to our nation’s money and our economy went into free fall. And what did we do to stop the greatest bank robbery in world history? We did nothing!!! Subsequently, we are a defeated nation. With the growing foreign troop presence and the rise of America’s version of the East German Stasi (aka the  DHS), we are also an occupied nation. Americans have lost the war and most are unaware that anything has even happened. Hillary Clinton is selling off the assets of this country to the Chinese. The EPA is stealing a million acres of land at a time. Your retirements, IRA’s and bank account will soon be gone. And what will most of America do, change the channel and open another beer.

This is why my analyses and subsequently my writing style changed to more of an adaptation approach. Americans need to be worried about having enough resources to survive the induced social chaos that is coming. Our people must also be able to defend their resources. And finally, you and your family need to develop strategies on how to avoid being induced or forced to into a detention camp. These events are not far away.  If you do not know how to pray, now is the time to learn.

Ramey comments:  Dave is an astute observer and I appreciate his insights, however, it would seem he is afflicted with the same myopia that plagues most Americans.  He appears to believe that Christianity is a redeeming feature when, in reality, Christianity equals idolatry.  We can verify this by looking up the roots of our Christianity and it did not come from Christ.  The only historian(s) I know of who have dared go up against the Vatican (creators of Christianity) and print the truth, as to where our Christianity came from, were Will and Ariel Durant in their ten volume "History of Civilization". 

A word of caution:  Be prepared to reject the findings of eminently qualified historians or be prepared to rethink your concept of Christianity.

PASSOVER

Much religious confusion has been generated over the Passover.  Most religions have relegated it to the trash bin and accepted the pagan festival of easter instead.  This confusion began with the Quarto-Deciman Controversy about 325 AD and raged for centuries.  It  is a very interesting study and it is my opinion that the bones of the apostles Peter and Paul, shipped to England by Pope Vitalian in 656 AD, (see Bede's Eccliastical History, book III, chapter 29), were a gift to Oswy, king of Britain, to buy his endorsement for the easter myth.  An interesting sidelight is that Oswy's wife continued to observe the Passover. The relics (bones) of those apostles are buried today at St Albens Hertz, just outside of London, England.

So when is the Passover?  This also has been debated for centuries. The Jews consider Passover a Holy Day and the first day of unleavened bread.  Is this scriptural?  And not only has sand been thrown into the air regarding Passover itself but also how to determine when the month begins and when the year begins.  Some of the Jews go by the molad (dark of the moon) and some swear by the new moon visual sightings from Jerusalem.  Which is correct?

First, let's take the matter of when to observe the Passover.  We can read for ourselves in Leviticus 23, the first two verses, that the days the world calls "Jewish Holidays" are not Jewish at all but God calls them "…feasts of the LORD" or "...My Feast Days".   Skipping down to verse 5 of the same chapter, we see, "In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's Passover". 

Now we have the controversy over "…at even".  Is this evening the beginning or the end of the 14th?  Some of the Jews claim the pass-over is to be killed on the afternoon of the 14th, cooked before the sun goes down and the "Passover Seder" eaten at the beginning of the 15th.  Some of the Churches of God adopt this agenda as well.  Is this the way it is supposed to be done?  We tend to look for a guru to give us direction on how to observe the Statutes ---  but I am not that guru.  My studies and observations over the past 78 years have shown that Yahweh looks to individuals rather than herds.  Noah was an individual.  Abraham was an individual.  Isaac and Jacob were individuals.  These men did not go to the local pagan shrine on the first day of the week and worship under the emblem of the phallus. Romans 14:5 says, "…let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."  I feel we need to be about doing just that. We have to be capable of weighing the evidence, coming to a conclusion and making a decision on our own.  That is what being an individual is about.  

I know a man personally who has set himself up as a religious guru and in one of his unsolicited letters to me, he said, "Unless you keep the Passover exactly as I tell you, you will not be in the Kingdom of God."  Is this God speaking or is this vanity?  In Exodus 34:27, it says, "And the LORD said unto Moses, 'Write you these words: for after the tenor of these words, I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.'"  Rather than require a "Mother may I?" at every step in life, the Eternal points us in a direction and says, "This is the way, walk you in it."  Satan is the one who demands strict adherence to rituals.  In the Masonic bible, "Morals and Dogma" written by Luciferian Albert Pike, it says on pages 222-223,  "The Masonic Order is administered according to the strictest Luciferian doctrine."

I can perhaps give you guidelines/food for thought/points to ponder, but I am not going to lay down strict rules for you to follow in your walk with the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe.  If that is what you are looking for, there is a multitude out there willing to oblige. 

We can see in Numbers 28:16-17 that the Passover and the first day of unleavened bread are different days.  Verse 16 says, "And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of the LORD."

Verse 17 says, "And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten."  This seems to make it obvious that the Passover and feast of Unleavened Bread are two separate events and two separate days. 

When was the Passover to be killed?  We see in the 12th chapter of the book of Exodus, verse 3, that a lamb is to be selected from the sheep or from the goats on the tenth day of the month and put up in safekeeping for the Passover.  Verse 6 says, "And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening."  Is this the evening beginning the fourteenth or the evening ending it?  Verse 8 should clarify this.  "And they shall eat the flesh in that night, (what night?  The fourteenth), so it has to be the evening beginning the fourteenth because if it were the ending of the fourteenth, "that night" would be the fifteenth. 

So now, we have the distinction made between the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  But there is still confusion as to the date and this is because of the confusion over whether we go by the Jew's calculation who use the molad or by the Jew's calculation who use the visual sightings from Jerusalem.  What if it is neither of these?

Let's look at what it says in Hosea 2:10-11.  It is quoting Yahshua and it speaking to the idolatry of America.  "And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand."
11  "I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her Sabbaths and all her solemn feasts." 
So if there are clear scriptures on how to determine when the month and/or year begins, why is there so much confusion among those who are supposed to know these things?  Could it be because religion is the tool of Satan for deceiving the "…whole world"? 

Were the Israelites in Egypt observing the new moons, high days and Sabbath?  No they were not.  They were steeped in the idolatry of Egypt.  How is it then they were led out of Egypt?  They were given a leader to whom the Eternal revealed these days.  Did the holy days begin with Moses?  If you look in the 19th chapter of Genesis, you can see that Lot was observing the days of Unleavened Bread before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, more than 500 years before Moses was born.  So how was it the Israelites knew when to leave Egypt and which way to go?  They had the Eternal leading them in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.  And they also had a human leader which was Moses.  Do we not have a promise of a God at each end of the exodus from America?  (Isaiah 52:10-12).  Is there going to be a test first and only those who have determined the true dates for the new moons, new year and high days will be allowed into the group?  Or will it be like the exodus from Egypt where we follow one who has already shown, by works, that he is being led by the Eternal? 

Perhaps we should look also at Lot's deliverance from Sodom.  Gen 19:  The angels told Lot to get his family and what belongings they could carry and get out of Sodom because they were sent to destroy it.  It seems that Lot dallied so they brought him and his family "forth abroad", verse 17, and said, "Escape for your life…"   Still Lot dallied and made requests.  It is of particular interest what the angel told him in verse 22:  "Haste you, escape, for I cannot do anything till you come thither…"  Evidently Lot's name was on a "keeper" list.

What if the new moon days are like the Ark of the Covenant and not to be revealed in this age?  Some of the scriptures we have just reviewed seem to suggest that?  The book of Ezekiel gives a preview of the establishing of the Kingdom of God in the Jerusalem area.  Chapter 40 begins the restoration of all things.  It begins with the preparation for rebuilding the temple.  In chapter 43, Ezekiel sees in this vision the glory of the God of Israel returning to the temple.  Chapter 44 sets up the ordinances for the priests; 45 the allotment of land for the sanctuary and city and 46 sets up the ordinances for public worship.  Verse 6 shows how we will recognize the day of the new moon. 

Right now, the world has been given over to delusions as it says in II Thes 2, because of idolatry.  The road back from this is long and arduous.  If we embrace the truth, with our whole being, more will be revealed to us but it will not all come in one blinding flash.  Solomon said, "It is to the glory of God to conceal a matter and to the glory of kings to search it out." 

We must show judgment by accumulating evidence, drawing conclusions, making decisions and being willing to change course when we find ourselves in error.  The best definition I ever saw for repentance consisted of only one word --- "reconsider". 

Is your name on a "keeper" list?  If not, why are you being shown the things you have and given to understand them?

February 6, 2014 — (TRN) — Edward Snowden, the former contractor at the National Security Agency took with him multiple “Doomsday” packages of information when he departed the country and began revealing how intensely the US Government is spying on its own citizens. He has the personal home info for all Elected Officials, Law Enforcement, Judges, Bankers, Corporate Boards of Directors and more!

At a classified briefing for members of Congress which took place on Wednesday, members found out that Snowden took with him:

  • a complete roster of absolutely every employee and official of the entire US Government.
  • The names, home addresses, unlisted personal home telephone and personal cellular phone numbers, dates of birth and social security numbers of every person involved in any way, with any department of the US Government 
  • The files include elected officials, Cabinet appointees, Judges, and  **ALL** law enforcement agency employees including sworn officers.
  • Similar files with the personal information of EVERY government contractor and all employees of that contractor!
  • Similar files with all the personal information of EVERY Bank Corporation, their operating officers and their Boards of Directors, including all current and former members of the Federal Reserve 
  • Similar files with all the personal information about anyone holding any type of license from the Government such as Doctors, Lawyers, Stock Brokers, Commodities Traders . . . . and many more.
  • Similar files with all the personal information of EVERY non-bank Corporation in the U.S., including their operating officers and Boards of Directors.
Snowden has made it clear that if he is arrested, if he vanishes, or if he “dies” from any cause whatsoever, ALL of the information in his possession will be published publicly.

TRN has confirmed that, working through Julian Assange  and his “WikiLeaks” organization, copies of the encrypted data have already been distributed to more than one-thousand, two hundred (1200) web sites around the world.  Those sites have agreed to conceal the information until such time as contact with Snowden is “lost.”  Once contact is lost, the sites have been told they will receive the Decryption keys via CD ROM, E-mail and P2P / Bit-Torrent file transfer.  Once the decryption keys are sent, the sites have been instructed to wait a specific amount of time to confirm Snowden’s disappearance, arrest or death and upon expiration of that time period, to publish the decrypted materials.

Making the situation all the more dire for the government is that Snowden has made clear he will release some of the information under certain “other” circumstances.  For instance, if Martial Law is declared in the US or if any elections are canceled for any reason, all the government employee info goes out.  If an economic collapse takes place, all the Banker/Stock Broker/ Commodities Trader information goes out.  If Corporations start hyper-inflating prices, all the information about them, their officers and Board of Directors will go out.

Snowden literally has the most powerful people in the United States in an inescapable stranglehold.  If any of the things articulated above take place, everyone throughout the country will know exactly who to blame and exactly where they live.   One can only speculate that under the right conditions, it might not be long until those responsible for the problems of our country, faced consequences for their actions; consequences delivered one at a time, in the dark of night, when there is no help . . . . and no escape.

Leading members of the House Armed Services Committee emerged from the classified briefing “shocked” at the amount of information he reportedly took with him beyond the NSA surveillance programs.

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), chairman of the Armed Service panel’s Intelligence, Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee and also a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the briefing on the defense consequences of Snowden’s leaks was “very highly classified,” and therefore details couldn’t be discussed.

Thornberry did say that lawmakers “left the briefing disturbed and angered” after hearing that the leaks by the former Booz Allen Hamilton employee “went well beyond programs associated with the NSA and data collection.”

He characterized the leaks as so severe that they “compromise military capability and defense of the country” and “could cost lives” — while they “will certainly cost billions to repair.”

“His actions were espionage, plain and simple,” Thornberry said.  Armed Services Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) read his statement rather than making comments on the fly “because of the seriousness of this issue and the sensitivity” of the information they’d just heard.  “Ed Snowden isn’t a whistleblower; he’s a traitor,” McKeon said.

No matter what opinion people hold of the data collection programs, he added, people should be “shocked and outraged to find that a substantial amount of the information has nothing to do with the NSA.”

SOURCE:

Ramey comments:  One does not have to be a scholar to see why those responsible for the condition our country is in “left the briefing disturbed and angered” and are lining up to call Edward Snowden a traitor.  This man has blown a lot of cover.  Now those with blown cover are frantically looking for ways to "unring the bell". 

Let's pause long enough to think about this for a moment.  Who is it that would find this information the most valuable?  The American people?  No way!  The American people will be mesmerized by ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN to believe that this is merely Russian propaganda.  

As a reader of these Commentaries, you know that they go far beyond the above mentioned media to give you behind the scenes things the media won't touch because they have their marching orders.  You know that the nations are quickly coming into the align-ments mentioned in Jeremiah 50-51 and Isaiah 13 for the express purpose of taking out the great Satan.  You know that Russia and China have already conducted joint military operations simulating a nuke attack on America.  Did you see any of this in the mainstream media? 

You also know that I have been saying for more than a year that America is about to be destroyed completely.  I have stated emphatically that 200 million Americans are going to die and survivors will be scattered across the world a slaves!  I see no one else saying that but I do see some of those writing news letters are now beginning to say America cannot be saved. (See the lead article in this Commentary). They haven't yet accepted the fact that it is going to be destroyed totally but they are rapidly coming to that conclusion.  This was determined many centuries ago and written for our benefit today. 

Now let's go back to the question of who would find Snowden's above printed list of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc, the most valuable?  This seems like a "no-brainer".  If you were the ruler of a modern day Medo-Persian Empire and were tasked with taking down the end time "Babylon" (see Rev 18), that had corrupted the world with fiat money, international banking, international piracy, destabilization of nations, petro-dollars, international spying, etc, --- wouldn't you consider this list valuable?  If you are going to cure a cancer, you have to locate the cancer cells and eliminate them --- right?

Can we begin to see the hand of the Eternal in the affairs of men?  Americans have fallen into slavery to a system engineered by the elite of the world in their endeavor to unite the world under the jurisdiction of Lucifer.  This, like ancient Israel and Judah, is the end result of idolatry.  We (America) were created as the Image of the Roman beast and were taught to worship that image through the medium of our educational institutions and religions.  We are paying dearly for that idolatry and are as incapable of freeing ourselves from this slavery as were the Israelites saddled into slavery in Egypt more than 3500 years ago.  But they came out of that slavery and they came out with the wealth of Egypt.  Egypt was destroyed totally.

Now Americans are on the eve of deliverance from this system but it will not be without growing pains.  In Leviticus 26, beginning in verse 14, you can learn why we are in this dilemma and where we go from here.  I must warn you it isn't pretty.  Verses 40-44 give us a "heads-up" as to the attitude we are to cultivate when our captivity is transferred from the elitists in America to the elitists of various other nations.  This segment of our journey will last no more than three and one half years and you can see the end of this segment in Isaiah 14:2.

As I have said before, 200 million Americans are about to die.  100 million of these will die of starvation and pandemics and 100 million, (to include those who have engineered and/or supported the rape and robbery of America), will die by the sword.  It would seem that these comprise the list discussed in the previous article and now in possession of the modern day Cyrus.  These numbers (as fractions) can be found in Ezekiel 5.  So now "Cyrus" has a name list to go with the indictment (Habakkuk), against the rulers of Chaldea (Babylon). 

So "Snowden's List" appears to be the antithesis of "Schindler's List", and appears to be for the purpose of assuring the destruction of the traitors in our government.  No doubt there is a stampede now among occurring among those listed, in a concerted effort to change addresses, phone numbers and even names.  Those with the means (a hand in the federal till) will relocate in other countries as did the Nazis at the fall of Germany.  Some will escape to their hidey-holes (DUMBs) to be incarcerated in those nuclear powered dungeons until brought out for judgment for their crimes against humanity.  (See Isaiah 24:21-22).  We can see their jurisdictional umbilical cord cut in Daniel 7:12.

There will be a New World Order soon but it will not be the one that is inspired by Lucifer and engineered by men.  "Snowden's List" is but the beginning of the dismantling of that movement.   The nation of Israel will be destroyed at the same time as the U.S. (Hosea 5:5) and the command center for the invasion from space will be set up there as they begin to dismantle Lucifer's governments. (See Isaiah 29).

The world will be rebuilt, evidently without those on "Snowden's List".
