New World Order 2007
NAFTA: The Shocking "Rest of the Story" The Cutting Edge - NAFTA was sold to the American public as a brilliant economic plan. Very few people realize that they have just witnessed Biblical prophecy occurring before their unsuspecting eyes!! In the News!! "Executive approval: Survey of American, Mexican, and Canadian executives show they feel the North American Free Trade Agreement has been successful in improving trade and logistics. CEO's and other senior executives at 250 U.S., Canadian, and Mexican companies see far more positives than negatives to the two-year old North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)". {Industry Week, April 1, 1996, V245, N. 7, page 48}. "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times". With these words, the classic novel, "Tale of Two Cities" began, a novel set in the midst of the French Revolution. Today, the same thing could be said for Christians. While we are living in the worst time in American history in terms of declining moral standards, declining traditional faith, and economic stress, we are also living in the most exciting time in history. Since Israel was reborn as a nation in 1948, thus beginning the End of the Age countdown, all the signs of the End of the Age have been occurring together. In the past, many of these signs were seen individually, such as rampant wars, widespread disease, earthquakes, but they never occurred simultaneously as they have now been occurring. Christians who know their Bibles should be very excited, because all our beliefs concerning the accuracy of the Bible are coming to pass, in the daily news, right before our eyes. This is the purpose of The Cutting Edge, to show you how you can see this advance to the Tribulation period right before your eyes, in your daily news. The Biblical term, "Tribulation" or "Great Tribulation" now has a secular name, The New World Order. Their plans to achieve this new order so parallel Biblical prophecy that, if you were to envision all Biblical prophecy about the End of the Age as a photograph, then the plans for The New World Order could be thought of as the negative, producing the positive picture! Today's news concerns NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, created two years ago, which economically joined Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Most Americans think of NAFTA simply and only as an Economic Entity, because that is the only context in which the media has ever portrayed it. However, the leaders of The New World Order have long been following a plan to recreate the many nations of the world into 10 Super Nations. And, not surprisingly, this Plan fulfills Biblical prophecy! Let us first begin with the New World Order Plan to create 10 Super Nations. In 1957, Alice Bailey, then the leader of the House of Theosophy, wrote in her collection of writings, "The Externalisation of the Hierarchy", that the world must first be reorganized into Spheres of Influence before it could be organized into a Global government (Page 209). She made it very clear that this reorganization would not follow traditional national boundaries, but would be a completely different organization. Bailey did not specify how many "Spheres of Influence" would be created, but her plan was fleshed out in 1974, by New World Order authors, Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel, in a book entitled, "Mankind At The Turning Point". They wrote that the world would be reorganized into 10 Super Nation States, listed below. 10 SPHERES OF INFLUENCE -- NATIONAL REORGANIZATION
Remember, this New World Order Plan
was published in 1974. Firmly set this date in your mind, as it will
become very important in just a few paragraphs. The first question is
"Why 10 Nation specifically?" The answer lies in a knowledge of the
spiritual beliefs of the Occult. They believe that man is to be
spiritually "perfected" by undergoing the process of "Illumination" by
achieving a long, arduous study of "Hidden Truth". Once a man is totally
perfected, he is pictured as standing "upright" next to, but
uncontrolled, by his world. This perfected man is thought of as the
Number 1, while the world is pictured as a zero (0). Thus, the number 10
forms this picture of perfected man standing apart from his world. The
number 10 is a very important symbolic number to the occultist. ("Magic
Symbols", Frederick Goodman, Brian Todd Publishing House, London, 1989,
p. 46-47). Therefore, when the occultic leaders of the New World Order
devised their plan to reorganize the world into Spheres of Influence,
they acted in accordance with their occultic beliefs in deciding to
create 10 Super Nation states. They were creating a New World Order,
which, by its very structure, screamed to the peoples of the world, "We
have created the 'Perfected" world organization, of 10 Super Nations".
The symbolism is powerful: they are the "Perfected" men, standing apart,
but controlling, the world. Ten had to be the number; Occult Doctrine
demanded it. But, this Plan also fulfills a most important Biblical
prophecy. This prophecy was given to the prophet, Daniel, approximately
2,500 years ago, and is the only prophecy which gives a sequence
of events which God foretold would flow from this creation of
the world into 10 nations. Hang on to your hat, for we are going on an
exciting ride. First, let us review the prophecies. The Bible foretells
in Daniel that there is a sequence of events which will foretell the
appearance of Anti-Christ. Turn with me now to Daniel 7:7-8, remembering
that Daniel is talking here of the End of the Age. Consider the
Scripture: "After this I saw in
the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and
strong exceedingly ...and it had 10 horns. I considered the horns and,
behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there
were three of the first plucked up by the roots..." These 10 horns are
further explained in Daniel 2:41 and Revelation 17:12. These prophecies
are quite clear in predicting that the world in the last days of time,
during the Great Tribulation will be reorganized into 10 Super Nation
States, or 10 Regions. This is a shocking revelation, since the world
has been controlled by individual sovereign nations since the Tower of
Babel 5,000 years ago. Today, there are over 170 sovereign nations in
the world today. A new governmental structure is being silently erected
over these 170+ sovereign nations Before our very eyes, a new government
is being erected; this plan, originally published in 1974 in "Mankind At
The Turning Point", is being implemented. And when it is finally
implemented, it will fulfill this Biblical prophecy of 10 Nations at the
End of the Age. Therefore, you see, NAFTA is not simply an economic
super nation; rather, it is Nation #1 of this 10 Nation New World Order.
Very few people understand this, because they have been conditioned by
our national leadership, aided by our national mass media. No one has
ever explained this before. Now, you can understand why Presidents as
seemingly dissimilar in world view, style and philosophy as Presidents
Bush and Clinton could support the creation of NAFTA. President George
Bush began the push to create NAFTA, but was unable to see it created
before he left for office. President Clinton supported NAFTA, even
though he opposed nearly every other thing for which Bush stood. At this
point, I am going to state a truth which I have carefully enunciated in
my radio programs, and which I will soon state again: The New World
Order Plan was created officially in 1776, and has been consistently
supported by Presidents ever since. In this 20th Century, nearly every
President, both Democratic and Republican, has secretly supported the
Plan for The New World Order. It has not mattered whom we have elected,
because both political parties are united in this drive to accomplish
this Plan. Generally, Republican Presidents have concentrated on changes
in the Foreign Policy field, while Democratic Presidents have
concentrated on the needed changes in Domestic Policy. But, whether we
have a Republican or Democratic President, the New World Order Plan
continues unabated. NAFTA is one example of a Foreign Policy change
initiated by a Republican President and continued by a Democratic
President. more...
Huckabee Exposed as New World Order Puppet The National Expositor (December 29, 2007) - Mike Huckabee recently named Richard Haas (the President of the CFR) as his advisor on foreign policy. CNN's WOLF BLITZER asked "Who are your principal foreign policy advisers, Governor?" Mike Huckabee responded: "Well, I have a number of people from whom I get policy. I'm talking to Frank Gaffney, I talk to Richard Haas.." So what does Richard Haas believe in? Here's an article below which was written by Haas for the Tapei Times. It basically states the Bill of Rights and Constitution should be given up in favor of a cooperative world body run by elite consensus. Who needs individual rights in the techno-futuristic world police state? And you thought liberty was in jeopardy now? Just wait till you see what your children will have to deal with. Get activated folks, These police state freaks want to shape your future into a control grid enforced through the fear based reaction to state sponsored false flag terror.

NAFTA Cementing a North American Union News
With Views (December 29, 2008) -
Millions of
Americans are now aware of the plan for a North American Union (NAU)/Security
and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). This awareness came via the Internet
thanks to
Phyllis Schafly and Dr. Jerome Corsi (video).
Lou Dobbs has given it an extraordinary amount of exposure during his
shows on CNN; the rest of CNN ignores it. The silence by ABC, CBS,
NBC, MSNBC, and FAUX (FOX) "news" networks has been
deafening. The attack by legends in their own minds, i.e.,
pusillanimous individuals like Michael Medved, have been remarkable
and a shame upon their so-called profession.
If you are not familiar with this final step in
the complete and total destruction of our sovereign republic, I strongly
recommend you
go to this web site and watch this
fully documented and factual slide presentation on this plan which I
call treason. The definition of treason is: disloyalty or treachery to
one's country or it's government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow
the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes
allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's
government. I don't believe it is inappropriate to use the word treason
when it comes to this plan to integrate America into one region with all
the trappings of totalitarian government. We are now starting to see the
provisions kicking in at hyper speed to finally destroy these united
States of America and let me lay it out crisp and clear: The destruction
of NAFTA was felt within the first 18 months and has continued to
destroy our sovereignty and job bases ever since. In the first few
years, over 4,000 factories closed down, small towns became dying towns.
To date MILLIONS of jobs have been lost with more all the time because
of
the evil called out sourcing. America continues to lose in the fair
trade arena; instead we are steadily being crushed by the evil of "free"
trade. In 1995, American businesses were notified by the IRS that that
under NAFTA, they would have to make all of their federal employment
taxes by electronic transfer;
view this document here. Why? The same reason we the people are
being taxed to death to pay for new infrastructure inside Mexico:
one world government. One worker base of three countries merged into
one region, all under the same homogenized laws.
Despite the massive invasion of illegal aliens
crossing over our borders, neither Marxist Bill Clinton or globalist
George Bush, made any effort to stop it and millions of Americans -
especially post 911 - simply could not understand why Bush has
steadfastly refused to do what President Eisenhower
did so effectively. Many of us who have
been in the trenches for decades knew and now millions more know: a
North American Union means just that. No borders, no sovereign nations,
just one big region for these diabolically evil men and women who lust
for raw power to rule over us and they don't care who they destroy on
their path to supreme imperialism. more...
Big Brother on Stage: What Kind of Actor is the EU? A
Time, Times, and Half a Time (December
25, 2007) -
Rafael Dochao Moreno,
principal administrator of the Euro-Med Partnership, when asked the
question why Spain chose to launch the Alliance of Civilizations
initiative at the United Nations rather than the European Union
responded that the “Barcelona process is already an AoC…why
do we need an AoC?” Moreno’s response reminded those of us
who have been following the Barcelona Process what we’ve already
known--that the Alliance of Civilizations is a
key aspect for the European foreign policy.
The Barcelona Process, introduced in 1995 by Spain’s Javier Solana,
contained a social cohesion strategy which had a goal to combat
religious fundamentalism worldwide. The Alliance of Civilizations is
merely a vehicle for such activity. Right from the start, the AoC
was intended to form the
core of the global counter-terrorism strategy.
Before the cartoon crisis (in which Spain’s Zapatero, Moratinos,
Federico Mayor, and Solana so authoritatively rose to the occasion
to turn
crisis into opportunity),
Spain’s foreign minister had
introduced the idea of the AoC as a tool to combat terrorism.
Incidentally, although no group has ever stepped forward to claim
responsibility or offer rationale for inciting the cartoon crisis,
blame was assigned to “religious extremists” along with the claim
that they seek to provoke a clash of civilizations. There is only
one group that has reaped tremendous political benefit from the
cartoon crisis--it almost reminds me of the Reichstag fire. In a
previous blog post we examined the
Club of Madrid’s 2005
counter-terrorism strategy. As I reviewed the conference pictures
and
list of participants, I
noticed linkages to those who put forth the EU Social Cohesion
Policy and the Alliance of Civilisations initiative. It is not
surprising then that the Madrid Agenda contains identical objectives
to those of the
European Union’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
Europe’s counter-terrorism strategy was presented to the
June 2003 Thessalonika European Council
by Javier Solana. Solana’s counter-terrorism strategy, which was
incorporated into the security strategy
A Secure Europe for a Better World,
addresses combating strategic terrorism as its primary objective.
Recall in
Part I of my
counter-terrorism article that strategic terrorism has been
attributed to religious beliefs in which one accepts an
“exclusivist” truth claim. An examination of the EU
counter-terrorism documents yields the same definition. But here we
see the lion’s teeth of militarization. There is an interesting
paragraph in the Thessalonika document which reads: “…the Danish Presidency decided to commission a group of Ministers' personal representatives to submit an analysis of the phenomenon of extreme fundamentalism and terrorism…The final report has been submitted and will be further discussed within the Council with a view to taking forward its recommendations.” “In most fundamentalist transnational terrorist violence, the perpetrators tend to view the front line to be between Israel and the United States, on the one hand, and the Islamic world on the other. It involves the dispute about the US occupation of holy areas either itself or through proxies such as the authoritarian regimes of Saudi Arabia and Persia, or Israel. According to the report of the Extreme Fundamentalism and Terrorism Group (EFTG) the settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would have a very important positive impact on the struggle against extreme fundamentalism and terrorism.”This is consistent with the Alliance of Civilizations’ statements as during the Doha debates Israel’s government was named an extremist regime. Regarding fundamentalism, the EFTG says: "Fundamentalism has been defined as an attitude where non-negotiable principles are introduced to politics from a transcendental source, holy texts or a divine discourse. “From the point of view of fundamentalism, religion expresses a divine order, which ideally embraces all life spheres. Although this may simply lead fundamentalists to encapsulate their own existence around their religious beliefs (“Quietism”), they will most often actively pursue the goal of seeking other life spheres, including political one, dominated by religious rather than secular principles.” Often fundamentalism has also meant a tendency to impose these principles indiscriminately on believers and non-believers alike.”The European Commission’s social cohesion research report further demonstrates that religious fundamentalism will not be tolerated within the European neighborhood. "This third school of thought is referred to as 'civil society as the public sphere'. "Theories of the public sphere demand a return to the practice of politics. Not as an elite occupation in which the public takes part once every four or five years through elections, but as an ongoing process through which 'active citizens' can help to shape both the ends and means of the good society…Essential to the functioning of democracy, according to the line of thinking of this school, is that all sets of voices are heard. Inequality and discrimination are therefore seen as the enemies of the public sphere. Fundamentalism is seen as its most dangerous enemy, since fundamentalism does not acknowledge the existence of different truths nor does it respect other values, which makes it impossible to reach a consensus with other groups... The only similarity between European policy and this third school of thought is its aversion to fundamentalism."As part of the 2007-2013 Cohesion Policy, member states are bound by agreement to implement European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) guidelines. As mentioned earlier, the European Defense Strategy’s focus is primarily on combating strategic terrorism. To do so, Solana has created a military-industrial complex having the following characteristics (to name only a few):

Israel fears clash with U.S. over peace talks' impasse
Haaretz (December 25, 2007) -
The United States will conduct confidential assessments of whether
Israel and the Palestinians are meeting their peacemaking commitments
and share the results privately with the parties, U.S. and Western
officials said. Israel has sought to keep the U.S. process of judging
compliance with the long-stalled "road map" peace plan largely secret.
Palestinians say they favour disclosure of judgments on whether Israel
is halting all settlement activity and whether the Palestinians are
curbing militants as the plan demands. Though the Bush administration
has decided to keep the assessment process confidential, it reserves the
right to go public with its views if necessary, the officials said.
U.S. judgments will be crucial because Israel has said it
will not implement any peace deal until the Palestinians meet their
commitments to combat militants in both the West Bank and the
Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, where militants continue to fire rockets
across the border into Israel. The monitoring process may be a test of
Washington's readiness to hold a key ally to its commitments. Despite
U.S. and Palestinian pressure on Israel to freeze settlements, the
Housing Ministry said on Sunday 740 new homes would be built in East
Jerusalem next year. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas agreed at U.S.-sponsored conference in
Annapolis, Maryland last month to relaunch final-status peace talks with
the goal of reaching a statehood agreement by the end of 2008.

EU is increasingly perceived worldwide as a global player Bertlesmann-Stiftung (December 25, 2007) -
International opinion survey: US experiences dramatic
loss of stature - Rapidly growing awareness of environmental threats -
EU recognized as world power. The European Union is increasingly
perceived all over the world as a global power, and is anticipated to
play a major role on the international stage in 2020 after the US, China
and Russia. The US's superpower image is fading, while China and Russia
have risen enormously in stature. There was a spike in many parts of the
world in people's awareness of the dangers of climate change and
environmental devastation. Climate protection and poverty are currently
seen as the most important tasks facing international policy makers.
These are some of the findings of a worldwide opinion poll conducted by
the German foundation, the Bertelsmann Stiftung. According to the
poll, the European Union already enjoys the reputation of a global
player, and was ranked fifth on average by all international
respondents. This picture improves for the Europeans as time goes on.
When asked which nations and organizations would be global powers in
2020, every third person mentioned the EU. On the other hand, the US
lost its undisputed leadership position. While 81 percent of people
would still call the US a world power today, only 61 percent expect it
to retain this position into 2020. Once again, China, India and - more
recently - Russia have greatly boosted their own profiles as global
players. With a 57 percent response rate, China was mentioned almost as
frequently as the US as a future superpower. They were followed further
down by Russia with 37 percent, the EU with 33 percent, Japan with 33
percent and India with 29 percent. Compared to the United Nations,
the EU is perceived as a very strong player in global politics. This
applies in all countries surveyed except India, where the UN has a
higher standing. And in China, the perception of the EU as a world power
rose significantly - by 15 percentage points in the past two years. When
asked if their own country should cooperate more closely with the EU,
the vast majority of the international respondents - 74 percent on
average - said yes. This desire is particularly strong in China and
Russia, where stronger ties with the EU are favoured by 98 percent and
91 percent of respondents, respectively. In the US, these numbers were
78 percent, in Brazil 70 percent, in India 68 percent and in Japan 48
percent. Recent years have seen a shift in perceptions of what
challenges face the world and what goals global players should work
towards. For example, in almost all the countries surveyed, awareness
of environmental threats skyrocketed, while dangers such as global
terrorism were viewed as less urgent. Awareness of environmental
problems has risen more than 10 percentage points worldwide since 2005.
The percentage of people who viewed climate change and environmental
devastation as global threats rose in all countries surveyed, but
especially in the US (+22 percentage points), China (+17 percentage
points) and Japan (+16 percentage points). On average, 54 percent of all
people viewed environmental destruction as the most important threat.
Only in Russia (31 percent) and India (28 percent) did a minority of the
population view this problem as a major threat. At the same time, the
perceived significance of global terrorism showed no change compared to
two years ago. The other key challenges cited by respondents were
poverty and overpopulation, war, resource scarcity, and religious
conflicts and fundamentalism. more...
RFID poised for the big time in 2008
Vnunet (December 24, 2007)
- Next year will witness the spread of RFID applications into familiar,
everyday settings, while consumer electronics, wireless technologies and
security requirements will continue to benefit from the integration of
RFID. These are just some of the predictions from AIM Global, the
worldwide industry trade association and self-proclaimed authority on
automatic identification and mobility solutions. Practical RFID
applications will find their way into familiar settings, including
sporting events, the latest toys and food safety, according to the trade
association. Next year's Beijing Olympics will see RFID applications
being used to track marathon runners to ensure race time accuracy,
watched by sports fans holding tickets authenticated by the same
technology. This year's highly publicised recalls of contaminated foods
and unsafe toys will push firms to use RFID to immediately track the
origins of compromised items, halting the production of potentially
harmful goods. 2008 will also witness the increasing integration of RFID
into mobile devices and consumer electronics, providing consumers and
business users with new and more convenient services. This technological
marriage will result in multi-functional mobile devices that allow users
to manage voice calls, email, text messages, multimedia, location-based
information, personal finance accounts and many other aspects of
everyday lives. According to AIM Global, the convergence of RFID and
other wireless technologies is now inevitable. As such the coming
together of RFID, real-time locating systems technology, GPS, sensor and
other wireless technologies will spur a "disappearance" of these
acronyms as businesses and individuals become more accustomed to the
benefits. 2008 will also see RFID addressing security vulnerabilities in
the global supply chain. From transportation worker ID cards and border
cards, to RFID-based electronic seals on cargo containers, RFID will
increasingly be deployed in a bid to improve security without hampering
international trade. more...
FBI prepares to build the world's largest database of peoples' physical
characteristics
The Washington Post (December 22, 2007)
- The FBI is embarking on a $1 billion effort to build the world's
largest computer database of peoples' physical characteristics, a
project that would give the government unprecedented abilities to
identify individuals in the United States and abroad. Digital images of
faces, fingerprints and palm patterns are already flowing into FBI
systems in a climate-controlled, secure basement here. Next month, the
FBI intends to award a 10-year contract that would significantly expand
the amount and kinds of biometric information it receives. And in the
coming years, law enforcement authorities around the world will be able
to rely on iris patterns, face-shape data, scars and perhaps even the
unique ways people walk and talk, to solve crimes and identify criminals
and terrorists. The FBI will also retain, upon request by employers, the
fingerprints of employees who have undergone criminal background checks
so the employers can be notified if employees have brushes with the law.
"Bigger. Faster. Better. That's the bottom line," said Thomas E. Bush
III, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Justice Information
Services Division, which operates the database from its headquarters in
the Appalachian foothills. The increasing use of biometrics for
identification is raising questions about the ability of Americans to
avoid unwanted scrutiny. It is drawing criticism from those who worry
that people's bodies will become de facto national identification cards.
Critics say that such government initiatives should not proceed without
proof that the technology really can pick a criminal out of a crowd. The
use of biometric data is increasing throughout the government. For the
past two years, the Defense Department has been storing in a database
images of fingerprints, irises and faces of more than 1.5 million Iraqi
and Afghan detainees, Iraqi citizens and foreigners who need access to
U.S. military bases. The Pentagon also collects DNA samples from some
Iraqi detainees, which are stored separately. The Department of Homeland
Security has been using iris scans at some airports to verify the
identity of travelers who have passed background checks and who want to
move through lines quickly. The department is also looking to apply
iris- and face-recognition techniques to other programs. The DHS already
has a database of millions of sets of fingerprints, which includes
records collected from U.S. and foreign travelers stopped at borders for
criminal violations, from U.S. citizens adopting children overseas, and
from visa applicants abroad. There could be multiple records of one
person's prints. "It's going to be an essential component of tracking,"
said Barry Steinhardt, director of the Technology and Liberty Project of
the American Civil Liberties Union. "It's enabling the Always On
Surveillance Society." If successful, the system planned by the FBI,
called Next Generation Identification, will collect a wide variety of
biometric information in one place for identification and forensic
purposes. In an underground facility the size of two football fields, a
request reaches an FBI server every second from somewhere in the United
States or Canada, comparing a set of digital fingerprints against the
FBI's database of 55 million sets of electronic fingerprints. A possible
match is made -- or ruled out--as many as 100,000 times a day.

Fed: Another $20B auctioned to banks Associated
Press (December 21, 2007) - The
Federal Reserve, working to combat the effects of a severe credit
crunch, announced Friday it had auctioned another $20 billion in funds
to commercial banks at an interest rate of 4.67 percent. Fed officials
pledged to continue with the auctions "for as long as necessary." The
central bank said it had received bids for $57.7 billion worth of loans,
nearly three times the amount being offered, indicating continued strong
interest in the Fed's new approach to providing money to cash-strapped
banks. It was the second of four scheduled auctions. The first auction,
on Monday, of $20 billion resulted in loans being awarded at an interest
rate of 4.65 percent. There were 93 bidders seeking $63.6 billion at the
first auction and 73 at the second. Two more auctions will occur in
early January. In a statement Friday, the central bank said it would
continue with further auctions "for as long as necessary to address
elevated pressures in short-term funding markets." The new auction
process was announced by the Fed last week in a coordinated action with
central banks around the world trying to address a global credit crunch.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues decided to try
the new process because their efforts to inject funds into the banking
system through the Fed's discount window, which makes direct loans to
banks, had proven less successful than Fed officials had hoped. Many
banks had avoided using the Fed's discount window out of concern that
investors would see the move as an indication of underlying problems at
their financial institutions. The auction process was developed as a
second way to get money into the banking system with the hopes that it
would not carry the stigma of the discount window. The Fed said Friday
that it would announce on Jan. 4 the sizes of the next two auctions
which will be held Jan. 14 and Jan. 28. Officials have said the Fed will
evaluate the interest in the auctions after the initial four and
determine whether more auctions will be scheduled. The new auction
results cover short-term loans for 35 days. more...
NATO
Secretary General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer NATO
highlights by 51 Reasons (December 20,
2007) - On the eve of the festive season I would like to share
with you my thoughts on the months ahead. But first I want to address
the people we owe most in this organisation – the men and women in
uniform. Over 60000 of you currently serve with distinction in NATO-led
operations in different parts of the world. Your dedication, courage,
professionalism and hard work are a credit to you and to NATO. The risks
you take in fulfilling dangerous missions – in Afghanistan, in Kosovo,
in the Mediterranean, as well as providing training in Iraq and helping
logistically the African Union with its mission in Darfur – say so much
about your commitment to security and stability goals. This commitment
is greatly appreciated and embodies the highest standard of excellence
associated with the Alliance. At this time of the year our thoughts are
in particular with the families of those who have paid the highest price
in these operations: your sacrifices will not be forgotten and have not
been made in vain. Next year promises to be just as active as the
passing one. The whole NATO community – civilians and military alike –
will be burning midnight oil to prepare for the key event at the
beginning of April: the Bucharest Summit of NATO. Important decisions
await the leaders of 26 Allied countries. They will deliberate on the
further enlargement of NATO, on strategic guidance shaping the nature of
our continued engagement in Afghanistan and Kosovo, as well as on all
the crucial projects essential for tackling major security challenges
confronting us. This list includes such diverse topics as fight against
terrorism, missile defence, new capabilities, energy security or cyber
defence. I am also convinced that coming months will broaden and
intensify NATO’s dialogue and cooperation with our partners. We will
strive to improve further a team-work approach with the United Nations
and with the European Union. And we will also work more in the framework
of the Partnership for Peace, Mediterranean Dialogue and Istanbul
Cooperative Initiative. We will spare no efforts to resolve existing
differences with the Russian Federation, to support reform efforts in
Ukraine. This is a long list of goals. But NATO is a busy Alliance.
Projecting stability where it is needed. Building global partnerships,
where they make sense. And standing as a unique forum for
transatlantic consultation on security issues. All, as
ever, to preserve the security of the citizens of NATO countries and the
broader international community. NATO will continue to make its
contribution to international security in 2008. I wish you and your
loved ones a safe and happy year. And once again, I send my best wishes,
and warm thanks, to the NATO and Partner soldiers far away from home
during this festive season. If you haven't read through it yet, please check out the Treaty of Lisbon and how the Alliance of Civilizations, combating those who claim sole ownership to the Truth, is being set up to be enforced through Europe and NATO to combat terrorism with military and civilian forces. The question is when will the war on the saints, who hold to the Truth of the Bible that lays claim to sole ownership of the Truth, will begin. According to Bible prophecy that time is coming and according to the HIStory, Our Future Bible studies, that time is just around the corner. 2008 will be a determining year and if this is accurate, a very chaotic year full of prophecy fulfilled.

LEAP/E2020 Alert: Breaking phase ahead for the global financial system in 2008 Europe 2020 (December 15, 2007) - The rapid aggravation of the global systemic crisis as its phase of impact unfolds [1] has brought our researchers to estimate that the contemporary global financial system will reach a breaking phase in the course of 2008. Crisis follow-up indicators now show that we should no longer only fear the failure of some large financial institution (and of many small ones) in the US first and the in the rest of the world (cf. GEAB N°19), but that the global financial system itself is structurally hit. The network of global central banks’ repeated incapacity to control the « credit crunch » when the two historical pillars of the contemporary global financial system (a US economy in recession and a US dollar in decay), reflects the growing surge of centrifugal forces within this very system. Indeed it is no more a matter of competence or of magnitude of the corrective actions implemented by central bankers. These times are over since summer 2007 and, according to LEAP/E2020, we are now witnessing an increasing divergence in economic interests among the different components of the global financial system. The expected failure of the Fed’s most recent attempt to coordinate a joint action of the main central banks in order to feed the banks in US dollars [2] , is particularly revealing. This action meant to restore confidence in the financial system by two means:

Mitt Romney to buy clear channel Media
Monarchy (December 13, 2007) -
from
lew rockwell: What would it
cost to buy the support of just about every nationally-syndicated neocon
talk show host in America? About $19.5 Billion, which is what Mitt
Romney's private equity firm,
Bain Capital, and Thomas H. Lee
Partners have
agreed to pay in a leveraged buyout agreement
with
Clear Channel Communications, the
largest radio station owner in the country. Clear Channel owns over
1,100 full-power AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations, twelve radio
channels on XM Satellite Radio, and more than 30 television stations in
the United States.
Premiere Radio Networks, which is the
largest syndication company in the United States, is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Clear Channel and is home to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck,
and many others. Sean Hannity recently signed a large multi-market
contract with Clear Channel, as well. From an anonymous email: "I'll bet
those hosts won't reveal that conflict of interest, but it's worth
noting when you hear them begin hyping Romney, which has already begun.
A lot of GOP supporters will support whomever they are told to support,
so be prepared for a big push for Romney. On the bright side, Romney has
more vulnerabilities than Rudy, based on his record. Look at this as the
GOP establishment doing us a favor. Rich men can bankroll their own
campaigns (a la John Kerry), but it takes a special breed to use
investors' money to buy entire networks that can operate as passive
wings of a presidential campaign." I'm sure you're aware that Mitt is a Mormon. What does that have to do with anything? Read The Mormon Church and Freemasonry from a pro-freemasonry perspective giving the history of Joseph Smith and Freemasonry. Also examine Masonic symbols and the LDS Temple where the compass and square as well as upside-down pentagrams and all-seeing eyes are incorporated into the architecture. If you've studied Freemasonry at all, you will see its influence on American politics from the beginning working toward the same New World Order that many other secret societies are working for. There is a consolidation of power as we approach the end-times and understanding the importance of media and Mitt's ties to Mormonism and push for global governance, I'm very wary of this play. Those who own media can control public perception.
NATO Backs Turkey's Alliance of Civilizations Initiative Todays
Zaman (December 20, 2007) -
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has announced that it
supports the Alliance of Civilizations initiative, co-chaired by Turkey
and Spain. The NATO summit started on Tuesday with the
participation of 26 heads of state and government in Riga, Latvia. In a
joint declaration, NATO leaders expressed their support for the Alliance
of Civilizations initiative. "We support
the collective value and dialogue between cultures and people. Therefore
the Alliance of Civilizations initiative under the aegis of United
Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan is of great importance to us,"
was the announcement made at the end of the summit. Meanwhile, NATO
leaders also invited Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina on
Wednesday to begin negotiations for eventual membership in the
military alliance, but urged Serbia and Bosnia to fully
cooperate with the UN war crimes tribunal. NATO leaders resumed their
summit Wednesday with a pledge to stay the course in Afghanistan despite
mounting casualties and the continual refusal of some governments to
send their troops into combat in the most dangerous regions of the
country. "We will stand with the
Afghan people for the long term," NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop
Scheffer told reporters at the press conference held after the
gathering. Well it appears that NATO likes the goal of the Alliance of Civilizations. This means that all member nations of NATO will go along with European military forces to enforce wherever this ends up going. I don't think it looks good for those who refuse to go along with the global governance plans. Michael Collins: Thought Control on the Internet Scoop Independent News (December 19, 2007) - Cracking the Code – Who's to Blame for "Violent Radicalization"? The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 404 to 6 vote on Oct. 23. Not since the Iraq War Resolution have Democrats and Republicans found such a unifying cause. We're told that House Resolution 1955 (H.R. 1955) will be an essential tool enabling law enforcement to peg the sources of "homegrown terrorism" on the Internet. The overwhelming bipartisan support makes it no surprise that the legislation presents a significant danger to citizens and the nation. This sentence is the new heart of darkness for free speech. (2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION - The term `violent radicalization' means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change. (Author's emphasis) (House Resolution 1955) That one word, "facilitating," takes the bill beyond aiding the hunt for terrorists on the Internet. It creates an emerging standard for wrongdoing that can be applied to everyone who exercises net-based free speech. Senate 1959, the equivalent of H.R. 1955, is up for consideration now. Here are some scenarios under the bill that could easily be called "thought crimes", i.e., "facilitating violent radicalization." You post one of these statements on the Internet …
… and a terrorist reads it. That terrorist subsequently commits a violent act. You don't know the person. You're not affiliated with him or her in any way. You don't advocate violence in your post nor do you approve of violence to achieve political goals. None of that matters. You can be accused of facilitating "violent radicalization," which this bill specifically implies can be an outcome of flagrant opposition to the administration, even though you really just oppose the current or any future office holders. You're busted! The scenario just mentioned is an outcome of H.R. 1955 and the yet-to-be-passed equivalent Senate Resolution 1959...
What disturbs me most about this
legislation is that it leaves the door wide open for the
broadest definition of what constitutes
"radicalization." Could otherwise nonviolent anti-tax,
anti-war, or anti-abortion groups fall under the
watchful eye of this new government commission?
Assurances otherwise in this legislation are
unconvincing.

Collapse of the Modern Day Banking System - Staring into the Abyss The
Market Oracle (December 19, 2007) -
“In past financial crises... the Fed has been able to wave
its magic wand and make market turmoil disappear. But this time the
magic isn't working. Why not? Because the problem with the markets isn't
just a lack of liquidity — there's also a fundamental problem of
solvency.” Paul Krugman Stocks fell sharply last week on
news of accelerating inflation which will limit the Federal Reserves
ability to continue cutting interest rates. On Tuesday the Dow Jones
Industrials tumbled 294 points following the Fed's announcement of a
quarter point cut to the Fed Funds rate. On Friday, the Dow dipped
another 178 points when government figures showed consumer prices had
risen 0.8% last month after a 0.3% gain in October. The stock market is
now lurching downward into a “primary bear market”. There has been a
steady deterioration in retail sales, commercial real estate, and the
transports. The financial industry is going through a major retrenchment
losing more than 25% in aggregate capitalization since July. The real
estate market is collapsing. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
announced on Friday that he will declare a "fiscal emergency" in January
and ask for more power to deal with the $14 billion budget shortfall
from the meltdown in subprime lending. Economists are beginning to
publicly acknowledge what many market analysts have suspected for
months; the nation's economy is going into a tailspin which will
inevitably end in a hard landing. Morgan Stanley's Asia Chairman,
Stephen Roach, made this observation in a New York Times op-ed on
Sunday: “This recession will be deeper than the shallow contraction
earlier in this decade. The dot-com-led downturn was set off by a
collapse in business capital spending, which at its peak in 2000
accounted for only 13 percent of the country's gross domestic product.
The current recession is all about the coming capitulation of the
American consumer — whose spending now accounts for a record 72 percent
of G.D.P.” Most people have no idea how grave the present situation is
or the disaster the country will face if trillions of dollars of
over-leveraged bonds and equities begin to unwind. There's a widespread
belief that the stewards of the system—Bernanke and Paulson—can somehow
steer the economy through this “rough patch” into calm waters. But they
cannot, and the presumption shows a basic misunderstanding of how
markets work. The Fed has no magical powers and will it allow itself to
be crushed by standing in the path of a market-avalanche. As
foreclosures and bankruptcies increase; stocks will crash and the fed
will step aside to safety. That much is certain.
