DOES ANY0NE
RECALL THE 2008 POLITICAL SLOGAN "WE CAN'T AFFORD JOHN McCAIN"?
I am not saying John McCain would have made a
better president. I'm saying that it is a
sad commentary on the state of America that either candidate was even considered.
And I think it underscores and puts in bold print my contention that America is on the brink of complete and
total destruction.
You don't need a crystal ball, your favorite astrologer
or even the prophets to see this. Just open
your eyes! Turn the TV off and learn to think
for yourself! Look at the U.S. economy in true perspective rather than the perspective
(promoted by TV) that compliments the current regime. Look at the war clouds on the horizon. Look at the square miles of U.S. produced automobiles
stored around the world rather than shut down the production lines. Look at the Dow-Jones that is being propped up
with printed money. Look at the lies promoted
by the media. Do you really think this situation
is sustainable?
Of course, you can always join the chat boxes
and vent your opinion on the outcome of the Superbowl, or watch more soaps, or join
the breakfast clique at the cafe and talk about more pleasant things. You can solidify your position as a part of those
the prophet Hosea described in Hosea 4:6 as being destroyed "...for lack of
knowledge."
But the world is in serious trouble and this becomes
more obvious each day even in the "sanitized" news put out by the media. We see more propping up of the U.S. economy, more
justification for U.S. interference in Ukraine and more justification for our creation
of and arming ISIS. We even see them reinforcing
the JFK and 911 myths occasionally.
We are witnessing the end of a nation known as
Babylon in scripture. It is positively identified by the prophet Habakkuk and there
is no other nation that even comes close.
We can pretend this isn't so and we can hide our heads in the sands of American
mythology --- but when the trumpet is blown announcing the "...appointed time",
it will be a bit late for philosophizing.
Most Americans will awake only when they see the
lights go out or when they see the first mushroom cloud. These Commentaries are not for those folks. They are for those defined as "the wise"
in Daniel 12:10. They are for those who can
reject the "media truths" of the JFK murder, Ruby Ridge, the Waco massacre,
the Murrah Bldg bombing, 911 and Ukraine.
"What is truth"? It is something you will not find in the U.S.
media. It is something you will not find
in the U.S courtrooms. It is something being
brought to planet earth by the "Strong hand from someplace".
America claims to be a Christian nation --- and
so they are. What we need to realize is that
Christianity equals idolatry! If this shocks
you, then it is because you have not done "due diligence" in probing into
the origins of Christianity. It did not originate
with Christ. I know full well that this is
not easily accepted by a nation raised on Christian mythology but if your life depends
on it, then you owe it to yourself to check it out. I know only one publication that has braved the
wrath of the Vatican and published the truth about Christianity. This is the "History of Civilization";
in ten volumes, by Will and Ariel Durant.
As I recall the origin of Christianity is in book III.
Can we begin to understand that "... all the kingdoms on earth..."
belong to Satan as we see in Luke 4.
This includes religious kingdoms, corporate kingdoms, democracies, oligarchies,
tyrannies and any other governments man can envision and set up.
And this is the reason the Elohim must intervene
in order to preserve a few on this planet.
The religions of this world are built around the
imaginations of men under the tutelage of Satan. We see this in the teachings that men are going
to heaven. In Revelation 21, we see that
the Elohim are preparing to move in with mankind on planet earth but only after
a realignment that can only be described as apocalyptic. Can we see this? Can we accept this? Quite frankly, our approval and acceptance is
not required.
The message brought to earth by Christ was not
one of grace, mercy, redemption, blah, blah, blah. We find His message stated quite succinctly in
Mark 1:14. It was about the Kingdom of God
to be set up on planet earth. The prophets
have given us road signs a batch to precede that event and it would seem that we
are looking at most of those road signs in the rear view mirror.
Perhaps we should look at the signs of the Messiah's
second coming in the gospels. You can find
them in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.
Read these signs and see if they are not what you are seeing in the news
today.
Is there any way we can know for certain where
we stand in the prophetic timeline? Indeed
there is! Daniel 11 is the longest running
prophecy and covers the time period between the Medo-Persian Empire and the closing
out of the age when the governments of this world will be given to the saints of
the Most High. It is contained in only 45
verses. If you were watching, you saw verses
42-43 unfurled in 2011 on international news.
It was the fall of Egypt and Libya.
What this means is that we stand at the threshold of verse 44!
We have seen the opening of the chute of the 3rd
horseman of the Apocalypse in Ethiopia in 1975 as foretold by William and Paul Paddock
in their book "Famine 1975" published in 1955.
We have seen the opening of the chute of the 4th
horseman, again in Africa, with the opening of the American created (and patented)
viruses beta tested in Africa.
Ah but it doesn't stop there. The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are the first
four of seven seals to be opened throughout the ages leading up to, introducing
and delineating the "time of the end". We can also see that the fifth seal has been opened
because of the martyrdom of the saints which has already begun (also in Africa and
the mid east), and which brings us to the threshold of the sixth seal of Revelation
6:12. This is the "biggy" and touches
off the destruction of the new Babylon as we can see in Isaiah 13.
We also see the trigger for this event in Isaiah
17:1-4. We see the NATO created(?) ISIS getting
closer to Damascus daily. We can see that
the "American airstrikes" have accelerated the taking of Syrian territory
by the ISIS and is bringing them ever closer to Damascus.
When Damascus falls, end time prophecies go into
fast-forward. The U.S. and Israel will be
destroyed within days if not hours. Whether
ISIS, Israel or the U.S. makes the hit on Damascus is immaterial --- whenever Damascus
"...becomes a ruinous heap", final events go into fast-forward and it
opens the door to Isaiah 13 and 29. And if
you want more of the gory details of America's demise, these are given in Jeremiah
50-51.
We stand today at the very threshold of these
events and we need to understand this. I
have been saying this for five years and it still hasn't happened --- does that
mean it won't? When I first started saying
in 2008 that our present oval office occupant was put there for the destruction
of America for idolatry, it was not as obvious as it is today. At that time our economy still had a measure of
stability. Our federal offices had not been
packed with Muslim. Our military had not
yet been gutted. Egypt and Libya had not
been destabilized and looted. The Ukraine
destabilizing had not yet been invented.
The national debt had not been tripled.
Our oval office occupant had not yet spent $40 million on vacations for himself
and his family.
As the ancient Babylon came down to it's final
hours, the top politicos of the nation had a party. At this party, they were drinking wine and praising
the gods of gold and silver and drinking wine from the golden vessels taken from
the temple in Jerusalem allegedly destroyed by the then king of Babylon, Nebuchacnezzar.
The acting king presiding at this party was a
grandson of Nebuchadnezzar and we can find the account in the fifth chapter of the
book of Daniel. In verse 5 we see: "In the same hour came forth the fingers
of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the
wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."
6 "Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him so that the joints of his loins were loosed and his knees smote one against another." I should think that would be a bit unnerving to see a hand come floating across the room and write on the wall.
You can read the rest of the story in Daniel 5
about the words the hand wrote on the wall.
It is this account where we get the saying, "The handwriting on the
wall". Perhaps there is a reason this
saying has been preserved these 25 centuries plus.
Ancient Babylon at the time of this writing on
the wall was within hours of their demise and the king's death. The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah tell us the end
time Babylon will fall just as quickly. The
apostle John tells us in Revelation 18 that the battle will be decided in one hour.
WHY OUR
MEDIA HAS SOLD US OUT
Ralph Lopez
February 7, 2015
Becoming the first credentialed, well-known media insider to step forward
and state publicly that he was secretly a “propagandist,” an editor of a major German
daily has said that he personally planted stories for the CIA.
Saying he believes a medical condition gives him only a few years to live,
and that he is filled with remorse, Dr. Udo Ulfkotte, the editor of Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung, one of Germany’s largest newspapers, said in an interview that
he accepted news stories written and given to him by the CIA and published them
under his own name. Ulfkotte said the aim of much of the deception was to drive
nations toward war.
Dr. Ulfkotte says the corruption of journalists and major news outlets by
the CIA is routine, accepted, and widespread in the western media, and that journalists
who do not comply either cannot get jobs at any news organization, or find their
careers cut short.
Dr. Ulfkotte is the author of a book currently available only in German,
“Bought Journalists” (Kopp 2014.) Aged 55, he was also once
an advisor to the government of German Chancellor Helmet Kohl.
The book has become a bestseller in Germany but, in a bizarre twist which
Ulfkotte says characterizes the disconnect caused by CIA control of the western
media, the book cannot be reported on.
Ulfkotte says:
“No German mainstream journalist is allowed to report about [my] book. Otherwise
he or she will be sacked. So we have a bestseller now that no German journalist
is allowed to write or talk about.”
Among the stories Ulfkotte says he was ordered to plant in his newspaper
over the years was a story that Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi was building poison
gas factories in 2011. Ulfkotte also says he was an eyewitness to Saddam Hussein’s
use of poison gas against Iranians in the war between Iran and Iraq, but that the
editors he worked for at the time were not interested, because Iraq was a US ally
at the time.
Ulfkotte says he is better positioned to come forward than many journalists
because he does not have children who could be threatened. Ulfkotte told the Russian newspaper Russian Insider (RI):
“When I told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Ulfkotte’s nwspaper) that
I would publish the book, their lawyers sent me a letter threatening with all legal
consequences if I would publish any names or secrets – but I don’t mind. You see,
I don’t have children to take care of. And you must know I was severely injured
during the gas attack I witnessed in Iran in 1988. I’m the sole German survivor
from a German poison gas attack. I’m still suffering from this. I’ve had three heart
attacks. I don’t expect to live for more than a few years.”
Ulfkotte says that remorse of having “lied” to mass audiences over the years
drove him to come forward. He told RI that he was:
“taught to lie, to betray and not to tell the truth to the public.”
Ulfkotte says:
“I’m ashamed I was part of it. Unfortunately I cannot reverse this.”
Among the admissions that Ulfkotte makes in the interview are putting his
own name to articles completely written by intelligence agencies. He said:
“I ended up publishing articles under my own name written by agents of the
CIA and other intelligence services, especially the German secret service.”
Ulfkotte detailed the pattern of cajolery and outright bribery used by the
CIA and other US-allied intelligence agencies, for the purpose of advancing political
agendas. Ulfkotte said:
“once you’re connected, you make friends with selected Americans. You think
they are your friends and you start cooperating. They work on your ego, make you
feel like you’re important. And one day one of them will ask you ‘Will you do me
this favor’…”
Ulfkotte noted that a journalists on international press trips paid for by
organizations close to the government are unlikely to submit a storyline not favorable
to the sponsor.
Of the gassing of Iranians he had witnessed in the Eighties, Ulfkoppe said:
“they asked me to hand over the photo’s that I had made to the German association
of chemical companies in Frankfurt, Verband der Chemischen Industrie. This poison
gas that had killed so many Iranians was made in Germany.”
In an interview with Russia Today, Ulfkotte said that it was “not right” what he
had done, and that his fear was that politicians were actively driving the world toward war:
“it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make
propaganda against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do, and have done
in the past, because they are bribed to betray the people not only in Germany, all
over Europe. … I am very fearful of a new war in Europe, and I don’t like to have
this situation again, because war is never coming from itself, there is always people
who push for war, and this is not only politicians, it is journalists too. … We
have betrayed our readers, just to push for war. … I don’t want this anymore, I’m
fed up with this propaganda. We live in a banana republic, and not in a democratic
country where we have press freedom…”
In his book “The
CIA and the Media,” Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein quotes William B. Bader,
former CIA intelligence officer, in his testimony before the Senate Intelligence
Committee. Baeder said:
“There is quite an incredible spread of relationships. You don’t need to
manipulate Time magazine, for example, because there are [Central Intelligence]
Agency people at the management level.”
Bernstein writes:
“The Agency’s relationship with the Times was by far its most valuable among
newspapers, according to CIA officials. From 1950 to 1966, about ten CIA employees
were provided Times cover under arrangements approved by the newspaper’s late publisher,
Arthur Hays Sulzberger. The cover arrangements were part of a general Times policy—set
by Sulzberger—to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible.”
Ulfkotte was on the staff of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation from 1999 to
2003, according to hisWikipedia entry. He won the civic
prize from the Annette Barthelt Foundation in 2003.

Could this be the same CIA that forced Lou Dobbs
out for telling the truth? Take heart folks,
that CIA's days are numbered. By the end
of this decade, they will only be found in the history books.
Hopes for breakthrough: Moscow talks on Ukraine 'constructive,'
joint doc 'possible'

Five hour-long Moscow talks behind closed doors between the leaders of Russia,
France and Germany have brought hopes for further dialogue between Kiev and E. Ukraine.
The meeting was said to be 'constructive', but peace plan details remain a mystery.
Journalists were given a mere 30 seconds to take photographs of the three leaders,
and none of them uttered a single word to the press during the photo-shoot.
Friday’s visit by President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
to Moscow was a hasty one. No usual diplomatic rituals – European leaders headed
straight to the Kremlin from the airport and were on their flights back very quickly
after the talks.
Journalists, who spent five hours waiting had to eventually make do with only
an afterword from the Russian president’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, which didn’t
shed much light on what the leaders actually talked about.
“On the basis of proposals made by the French President and German Chancellor,
there is currently on-going joint work to prepare the text of a possible joint document
on the implementation of the Minsk agreements – a document that would include proposals
made by Ukrainian President Poroshenko and proposals put forward today by Russian
President Putin,” Peskov said.
Preliminary comments from Russian, German and French officials only describe
the talks as “constructive.” More clarity is expected on Sunday when the so-called
‘Normandy Four’ – Russia, France, Germany, and Ukraine – discuss the results of
the talks by phone.
While the talks’ participants appear enthusiastic, Washington has been skeptical.
“I’m not going to say it’s a positive sign that they (Russia)
are listening,” said US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf. “They’ve
been listening. They just haven’t been acting,” she added, pointing out that
the proposals voiced by Merkel and Hollande haven’t been coming from Washington.
Political analyst Dan Glazebrook isn’t surprised by the US reaction.
“Since the last February’s coup (in Ukraine) the role of the US and Britain
has consistently been trying to sabotage and scoffer any kind of peace agreement
that came on the table,” Glazebrook told RT.
Merkel and Hollande’s surprise visits to Kiev and Moscow this week have been
seen as a sign of a rift between Europe and the US. News of Germany and France’s new peace plan for Ukraine came while US Secretary
of State John Kerry was in Kiev, speaking of possible weapons supplies to Ukrainian
government troops.
In an interview during the Munich Security Conference, British Defence Secretary
Michael Fallon told Reuters that he fully supported a new effort by the leaders
of Germany and France to try and halt the Ukraine conflict, while saying that supplying
Kiev with weapons would only escalate it.
At the same time, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has stressed
that the Ukrainian conflict cannot be resolved militarily and the world leaders
should not “try and fix the problems at gunpoints.”
‘Problems in Washington and Kiev, not in Paris and Berlin’
The apparently widening policy rift between Washington and the European capitals
with regards to the Ukrainian crisis did not go unnoticed, with critics saying that it is in fact the US and Kiev who are creating
obstacles which stand in the way of the conflict’s resolution.
Martin Sieff, columnist for the Post-Examiner newspaper, spoke to RT about the
Friday talks in Moscow: “I think we will be seeing an outlined document, I think
there will be significant progress made towards the implementation of a ceasefire.
Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande [have] belatedly recognized the seriousness
of what is happening in Ukraine, they do want to move back from the brink, they
do want to restrain the Kiev government, they are strongly in favor on a negotiated
settlement. The problems will be in Washington
and Kiev, not in Paris and Berlin.”
According to Sieff, the “key rogue player” in the conflict is the Kiev
government, which has been backed by the West but is now getting out of control
and want to play its own rules on the ground.
“The West created [Ukrainian] President [Petro] Poroshenko, but he is in many
respects the tail that wags the dog, they cannot always rein him in. He is the rogue
player, he is the joker in this hand,” Sieff argued.
If Washington goes ahead and sends arms to Ukraine as American hard-liners demand,
it will be “a very dangerous move,” Sieff said, adding that Hollande and
Merkel seem to have “a much greater sense of responsibility” regarding efforts
to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
“I don’t think they [the US government] are looking at the real situation on
the ground in Ukraine, and I don’t think they’re putting this in the wider context
of the crisis America is facing, the other crisis, in the Middle East, where they’re
trying to contain ISIS [Islamic State] at the moment. Containing ISIS is quite enough
for America to have on its hands after two exhausting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; they cannot afford to let Ukraine cut
loose with American weapons and American support as well, that would be insane for
the US, it will be an imperial overstretch,” Sieff said.
According to the critic, to resolve the conflict, US President
Barack Obama and US Secretary of State John Kerry need to “swallow their pride
and get a genuine bilateral relationship going again with President Putin,”
as the US-Russia ties are “the most important strategic relationship in the world.”
The problem is the lack of debate in Washington about the responsibility of Western
powers for the current conflict in Ukraine, as well as the strategic importance
and sensitivity of the developments in the region for Russia, he said.
