COMMENTARY & OPINION

LXIX

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

The Common Sense Show

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?

Snowden’s “Doomsday” Safeguard

Posted on February 6, 2014 by arnierosner

http://www.turnerradionetwork.com/news/266-pat

BOMBSHELL: Snowden downloaded entire roster of U.S. government – all names, home addresses and other personal info of **all** officials and gov’t employees — including law enforcement — plus bankers, corporate boards of directors and more!

Thursday, 06 February 2014 20:28

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.”

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".

To my readers:

It would seem that my writings have struck a nerve because I have been locked out of the internet.  The message I get on the screen at the library is "The system is beyond capacity. Please try again in a moment."  Meanwhile others are signing onto the net with no problem.  No one at the library has ever seen this message before.

So unless we can get creative, this may be the last C & O. 

COMMENTARY & OPINION

LXVIII

"THE THING I FEARED HAS COME UPON ME…"

Twenty years ago we could not imagine an America like the one we have become.  It was unthinkable.  Now we see a nation that has been given to China (Hillary's last trip there), as an appeasement offering, to satisfy the debt racked up by our "elected officials", if they (China) will just support the illusion we call democracy for a few more weeks. 

Two hundred million Americans are about to die and China knows this.  But Americans are too busy with soaps, super bowl, movies and the latest toys to take notice.  The architect of this disaster will join his victims in death within weeks of their demise and will be recorded as the most hated man in the history of mankind.  He will not be afforded the luxury of a funeral nor a burial.  His remains will be flung out on top of the ground to be trampled underfoot and his offspring will be erased from the face of the earth.  You can get a preview of this in Isaiah 14. 

A few people in the world today know that these days were described by the prophets some 2-3,000 years ago.  A few know that the book of Daniel, sealed at the time of writing (some 2,600 years ago), has been opened?  Those few know that we (America) are the end time Babylon mentioned in Revelation 18 that is to be destroyed in one hour?  They know that we, (America), are the "Image of the 4th beast" (Roman) of Daniel 7?  Has this been on CNN?  Of course not!  CNN (including with ABC, NBC and FOXX), is the politically mandated, politically oriented news --- the propaganda channels. 

Some of the super patriots, that a year ago had visions of awakening America to rebuild the republic we never had, are now beginning to see that America cannot be saved.  I see some of these writers now becoming very pessimistic and beginning to say, "America is too stupid to be saved."  During that past year, if you are a regular reader of these Commentaries, you have been reading that America is not going to be rescued as a nation and the land itself is going to be abandoned as a nuclear wilderness.  And you have been given the source of this information, "…precept upon precept … line upon line."

History buffs should know that democracy is the final stage before tyranny and enslavement of a nation.  That is where America stands today.  The prophet Hosea said in chapter 4, verse 6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." 

You don't need to be a prophecy buff to see the destruction of America at our doorstep.  Look at the biggest robbery in the history of the world known as bank bailouts.  Look at our multi trillion dollar national debt (an even bigger robbery). Look at the cancerous growth of federal government and their security forces.  Look at the economic crash that is only being held off by the legalized counterfeit money being printed by our government, and ask yourself how long this can go on?  This is why China has been given eminent domain in America but they want the guns gathered up before moving in to assume ownership of the collateral on the debt we owe them.  They don't yet know that they will not be occupying America nor will any other nation.  America will be a nuclear wilderness uninhabited and uninhabitable (Isaiah 13). 

The news is now simply becoming too voluminous to try to cover even the highlights in these Commentaries.  One of the big stories the media neglected to tell you is the reason for the 2+% dive in the Dow in one day.  Evidently it was reacting to the assassination of three top bankers on January 26, 28 and 31.  Evidently it was to keep them from testifying about the ponzi scheme of banks.  Its sad when we have to get our news via Russia but here is the report:

15 February “Catastrophe” Warned Will Shake Entire World

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared the by the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the Ministry of Defense is warning that the assassinations this past week of three top Western bankers coincides with Snowden Documents detailing a 15 February 2014 “catastrophe” being engineered by the Obama regime in order to establish some type of “new world economic order” prior to the coming global meltdown of markets and massive bank failures, some of which have already begun.

Edward Snowden is a computer specialist and former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent who, with his yet unidentified US military backers, obtained nearly two million highly classified top-secret documents from the United States Department of Defense (DOD) run National Security Agency-Central Security Service (NSA/CSS) and was granted temporary asylum in Russia in 2013 after his designation by the Obama regime as the “most wanted man on earth.”

The three Western bankers targeted for elimination by Obama regime “black team hit squads,” this report says, were Deutsche Bank executive Bill Broeksmit, 58, found dead at his home in Chelsea, south west London, on 26 January, JPMorgan Chase & Company vice president in technology operations Gabriel Magee, 39, who died after falling from his London headquarters on 28 January, and chief economist at Russell Investments, and former US Federal Reserve economist, Mike Dueker, 50, found dead at the side of a highway that leads to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State on 31 January.

The “common link” between these bankers, this GRU report continues, began this past year after two JP Morgan whistleblowers confessed that their bank manipulates the gold and silver markets, which led to this past weeks stunning announcement that Europe's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, would withdraw from the appropriately named gold and silver price “fixing”, as European regulators investigate the manipulation of precious metals prices by Western banks.

Deutsche Bank executive Broeksmit, called among the “finest minds” in his field, and Russell Investments Dueker, ranked among the top 5 percent of economists by number of works published, this report says, were at the forefront of the European investigation into JPMorgan gold and silver price manipulation and had as their “inside man” JPMorgan tech guru Magee who oversaw his banks computer systems built for this crime.

Critical to note, GRU economic analysts say in this report, is that if the price of gold and silver were to achieve their “honest” level, JPMorgan would collapse as it does not have the reserves needed to equal the “paper” gold it has already sold, and a JPMorgan collapse would then, in turn, implode the entire global economic system.

Even worse, this report continues, JPMorgan crimes have now reached into the motherland itself after the Russian Central Bank (RCB) yesterday was forced to shut down Moscow-based lenders My Bank and Priroda Bank after they were unable to retrieve their foreign deposits from the British multinational banking and financial services company HSBC due to their imposing restrictions on large cash withdrawals on 24 January.

As the United States just reported its worst January stock market in 24 years, this report continues, the Obama regimes “master plan” of purposefully creating global financial chaos  in order to destabilize enemy countries and create a flight into the US dollar is now failing and has led to the highly influential trends forecaster Gerald Celente to warn people this week that they need to “brace themselves for a disastrous global collapse and riots that will engulf the entire world.”

Not just Celente is issuing warnings either, this report says, but so has too the famous US economist and former Harvard economics professor Terry Burnham who during an interview this past week on PBS NewsHour stated that he was removing his $1 million of life savings from Bank of America because American banks are no longer safe.

This GRU further notes that despite the 6.5% US stock market rally over the last three months, a handful of billionaires are quietly dumping their American stocks . . . and fast.

Most ominous to note in this GRU report are Russian intelligence analysts noting that Snowden’s documents refer to a 15 February “catastrophe” due to occur based upon the US nearing a Black Eagle Trust Fund type “event horizon.”

Though virtually unknown to the American, within two hours of the 11 September 2001 attacks, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared a national emergency, and for the first time in US history, invoked its emergency powers under Securities Exchange Act Section 12(k) easing regulatory restrictions for clearing and settling security trades for the next 15 days.

These changes would allow an estimated $240 billion in covert US government securities to be cleared upon maturity without the standard regulatory controls around identification of ownership due to the quickly unfolding Black Eagle Trust Fund plot that would have most certainly destroyed the entire global economic system.

Even more ominous, and, again, virtually unknown to the American people, is that the war the US has been waging for over a decade was, in fact, declared on 10 September 2011 when then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, testifying before the US Congress [watch video HERE], stated that he had declared war on the Pentagon itself over his discovery of over $2.3 trillion missing from their accounts and warning it was a “matter of life and death.”

Too if the Obama regime would resort to a 9/11 type false flag attack once again to protect the Western banking system, this report gravely warns, cannot be ruled out as evidence has long proven what German central bank president Ernst Welteke called “terrorism insider trading” relating to this horrific event.

Specifically, the Chicago Board Options Exchange reported to the SEC that four days before the attack an extremely unbalanced number of trades betting United’s stock price would fall were being placed, followed one day before the attack by the US stock options market authorities reporting to the SEC that an equally extraordinary number of trades were betting that American Airlines stock price would fall too.  As to who made these trades, and made tens-of-millions of dollars from them, the world will never know as the Obama regimes SEC admitted in 2010 that they had destroyed all the documents relating to them.

This GRU report further notes that with the New York City headquarters of the SEC destroyed on 9/11 after the mysterious implosion of World Trade Center Building 7, and the equally devastating cruise missile attack on the Pentagon that destroyed its computing accounting system burying forever the information on where the missing $2.3 trillion went, this new “catastrophic event” being planned by the Obama regime within a fortnight of 15 February can be expected to be as worse, and will, most assuredly, “shake the entire world.”

Americans Celebrate Last Year As Free People

Is this merely Russian propaganda?  For those who parrot the "conspiracy theory", as programmed by the media, it will not be seriously considered.  But if you are watching the things mentioned earlier in these Commentaries, then you will know that this has a ring of truth that we aren't getting from our own media.  I'm reminded of the introduction in a book some 60 years ago entitled "None Dare Call It Treason".  The introduction went like this:  "Treason never prospers; what's the reason?  Because if it prospers, none dare call it treason."

We saw recently how 3 inches of snow can shut down the ninth largest city in the U.S.  That is tragic enough, but I'm telling you that was merely a dress rehearsal for what is on our doorstep.  And it isn't like we can pray to our god and get this turned around as II Chronicles 7:14 would lead us to believe.  It says, "If my people,, which are called by my Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will heal their land."  Our land is polluted past healing and is to be abandoned as uninhabitable. 

Some 120 years after the nation of ancient Israel was butchered and with survivors being herded into captivity by the Assyrians, for idolatry, the nation of Judah had fallen into the same trap and were at the same point where America is today.  They were just before being butchered with survivors taken captive to Babylon.  Jeremiah was among the few who saw what was coming and tried to warn the leaders of Judah.  He even prayed to his God to spare the nation.  We need to take serious note of the answer to his prayer.  He was told three times not to pray for this nation and his God added, "…because I will not listen!"  (Jeremiah 7:16, 11:14 and 14:11) 

Why would He not listen?  We saw in the preceding paragraph from II Chronicles 7:14, where He gave the conditions for healing of the land. But it was indeed conditional and one of the conditions was to turn from their wicked ways.  They had been warned time after time and still they did not turn from those ways.  Now they had already been judged and the sentence already decided on.  That, my friends, is where America is today. 

Are we a "Christian Nation"?  Yes we are.  Will that save us as a nation?  No, it will not.  Ancient Judah had the Ark of the Covenant and the Temple built by Solomon and they felt these would save them from being destroyed by Babylon.  Were they spared?  The rest is history.  To understand why being a "Christian Nation" will not save us, one needs to understand that Christ was not the sponsor of that cult.  Christianity is one leg of the fourth empire (Roman beast) of Daniel 7 and Islam is the other (Daniel 2). Christianity equals idolatry! And, yes, the "…whole world is deceived" (Revelation 12:9).

Hopefully we can begin to see the curtain being drawn on this society and this world's governments.  It would seem that the 4th seal of Rev 6 has been opened and the massacre of Christians around the world is the "sword" portion of this seal.   Are the spirits of those martyrs under the throne already being given white robes and told to wait yet a little season?  Is seal #6 on the threshold?  Will it be opened on the last day of Unleavened Bread?  It will be announced in a language the whole world will understand --- the granddaddy of all earthquakes!

And then the real action begins!  At that time the One Worlders will realize they have stepped in "yogurt".  American topography will be altered. The sun will be darkened for a period of time.  A killer tsunami will hit our east coast (Jeremiah 51:42), and the invasion and looting of America will begin. (Jeremiah 50:9-10). 

Have we conditioned our minds to think the unthinkable?  

AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

What do you suppose is meant by Matthew 24:37?  The K/J has it as: "But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."  38 continues, "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark."

39  "And knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Perhaps we should pursue this in the verses that follow because, it would seem they are pertinent.  40  "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken and the other left." (This passage should give us a clue as to the season.  Men aren't normally working in the field during the winter).

41  "Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken and the other left."

Just who are these people and what is the meaning of this event that is being described?  The topic here seems to be the coming of the Son of man.  Can we really believe what it says about it being "…as in the days before the flood"?  What do we know about those days?

We find the story beginning in Genesis 6 telling of a great flood that covered the earth and only eight people survived according to the Genesis account.  Has the world come full circle to the point where it is as corrupt now as it was then?  Is this really what these verses are telling us? 

And who are these people, two working in the field and two working in the mill, and in each case one of the two is "taken" and one left?  Taken where?  By whom?  How?  When? 

If we are talking about "…as it was in the days of Noah", then we must be talking about a rescue mission from a global catastrophe --- right?  How did Noah and his family qualify for this rescue?  They not only believed in God but they believed what He said when He told them of the coming catastrophe and they did what He told them to do to prepare for it. They built an ark and it wasn't raining when they started it!   So there had to be a bond of trust --- right?  Evidently they had become well enough acquainted with this God to know that He knew whereof He spoke.  Are we facing a global catastrophe today?  Is there a small group of people "…building an ark"?  "…precept upon precept … line upon line … here a little and there a little"?

We have been warned of these days by the prophets and these have been in writing for many centuries.  These prophecies have not been understood before now because the key prophecy was sealed until the end time and we can see this in Daniel 12:4 & 9.  We are in that "end time" now and that prophecy has been opened.  You can see in Daniel 12:10 who it is that will understand it.  Today we are watching these prophecies unfold in the rape of Iraq, Egypt, Libya and now ramping up for the one that triggers WW III.

In Isaiah 52:10-12, we are shown a little group that is to be rescued from a dying world and the context shows that this is the time of the end of the age.  Verse 10 says, "The LORD has made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God".

11  "Depart you, depart you, go you out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go you out of the midst of her; (Babylon), be you clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD."  (See Acts 9:15).

12  "For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward" (rearguard).

It would seem there is a God at the front of this exodus and a God at the rear.  Who are these two Gods?  One is the Logos or Word of the gospel of John 1:1 and the other is His Maker, (see Isaiah 45:11).  Now, for them to be conducting an exodus of flesh and blood people,

one would naturally have to think they will be present here on earth.  But haven't we always been told the Messiah's return will be to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem?  Why yes!  Haven't we also been told that a fat man in a red suit comes down the chimney with a bag of gifts?  If we haven't yet learned to question everything we have been taught by religion, then we had better be about it. 

So maybe the "rapture" has a grain of truth after all.  The one in the field and one in the mill that are "taken" seem to fit into that agenda.  But we also should notice that it isn't a church that is "taken".  It is two individuals.  Two individuals that are "building an ark", "… precept upon precept…"  Two individuals living according to the tenor of the laws, statutes, precepts and judgments, (given to Moses in the wilderness), that will be the foundation of the new government established in the Jerusalem area.  These will be two individuals "…in whom there is no guile".  Two who can receive new concepts "…with all readiness of mind and search the scriptures to see if they are so".

How many do we know who fit this criteria?

We also know they won't be taken on the Sabbath or a Holy Day for they are working the day they are taken. Is this important?  Perhaps.

It has been said by some that the exodus from America will be equal to or greater than the exodus from Egypt, however, I find no scriptural evidence of this.  It has also been said that the law was done away and that the easter bunny lays colored eggs.    I find the masses looking for salvation in steepled edifices with stained glass windows, charismatic speakers and ordained ministers while ignoring warnings that need no interpretation such as "…as it was in the days of Noah". 

Archaeologists prove, on a yearly basis, the geographic and historical accuracy of the Bible.  It is a fact that it has been tampered with by masters of deceit and one does not need to be a scholar to prove this.  We even find it acknowledged by Jeremiah long before the New Testament was written (Jeremiah 8:8).  It is religionists that twist scripture and attempt to minimize what it states clearly.

Religion is aptly described in Revelation 17 as a prostitute. Prostitutes are masters of deception and so are the various religions.

We have seen in past issues of this Commentary that the two largest religions on earth constitute impressive power bases and are being wooed by the various leaders of Satan's governments because of the number of minds they control.  So governments, for as long as we have history, have employed the prostitutes of religion for the deception of "…the whole world" (see Revelation 12:9).  Now Lucifer is making his play for unification of all the religions so he can call the marching cadence as he marches them over the cliff like lemmings.

So do the masses of the world see this?  No; of course not!  The masses leave this kind of thinking to their gurus/sky pilots/ministers/ rabbis/priests/shamen/etc, all of whom are representatives of religious kingdoms.  We see in Luke 4 that all the kingdoms of this earth belong to Satan.

Can we begin to see how important it is to understand "Whom it is He will teach knowledge and make to understand doctrine"? (Isaiah 28). Can we begin to understand how important it is that we do our own thinking and our own research?  It isn't just one or two small cults that are deceived --- it's the whole world". 

Do the two major religions of the world know that they constitute the legs of the dream image of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon?  (See Daniel 2). Do the Protestants understand where they got their religion and why they are called protestants?  Do ordained ministers know the origin of their ordinations?  Is the Jewish religion really the only one that is pleasing to God?  If so, why then, is God quoted in Isaiah 1 as saying to the Jews, "…your new moons and your feast days my soul hates"?  Did the Jews follow Israel into captivity because of their godliness, as Yair Davidy contends in his book entitled "Joseph"? 

If we don't already have the answers to questions such as these, then we have homework to do. 

HAVE WE SEEN, IN PERSPECTIVE, THE INTRODUCTION OF THE DAY OF THE LORD?

Perhaps we should turn to Isaiah 30 and begin reading in verse 27 in the New English Version:  "See, the name of the LORD comes from afar, His anger blazing and His doom heavy.  His lips are charged with wrath and his tongue is a devouring fire."

28  "His breath is like a torrent in spate, rising neck-high, a yoke to force the nations to their ruin, a bit in the mouth to guide the peoples astray."

29  "But for you there shall be songs, as on a night of sacred pilgrimage, your hearts glad, as the hearts of men who walk to the sound of the pipe on their way to the LORD's hill, to the rock of Israel."

30  "Then the LORD shall make His voice heard (Hab 3:2) in majesty and show His arm sweeping down in fierce anger, with devouring flames of fire."  Are these flames of fire methane in our atmosphere from having crossed the node of an incoming dwarf star loaded with mega-tons of frozen methane? 

When is this day of the LORD to take place?  Can we determine this by the scriptures?  Let's look. 

Is the 4th seal to be opened before the "day of the LORD"?  Revelation 6:8:  "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.  And Power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

9  "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.

10  "And they cried with a loud voice, saying 'How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11  "And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were should be fulfilled." 

 So we can see that, at this point, the "day of the LORD" is still future.

Now, continuing in verse 12:  "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake: and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;" 

We see here the first of 5 earthquakes mentioned in the book of Revelation, and it appears it will be felt worldwide.  Verse 13 continues: "And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14  "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15  "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men and every bondman and every free man hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16  "And said to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb." 

Now we come to where the rubber meets the road.  Verse 17 says:

"For the great day of His wrath is come…"

We saw in a previous Commentary that "…is come" is present tense.  We also saw that the day of His wrath equals the day of the LORD.  So it becomes obvious that the sixth seal is the "Day of the LORD".

So what are the seven trumpets?  The seven trumpets appear to be the seven plagues of Revelation 15 and 16 and if you line these up side by side, with the seven trumpets, (as I have done), you should be able to see that these are one and the same.  Number 6 and 7 in particular, are obviously speaking of the same unique events.
