This is an excerpt from :The Selling Out of America and The Rise of The New World Order

Research, written, and prepared By Dana G Smith
“In defense of the world Order, U.S. soldiers would have to kill and die. … We are not going to achieve a New World Order without paying for it in blood, as well as in words and money.”

– Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Back to the Womb, July/August 1993 issue of Foreign Affairs

America and prophecy is a subject I have researched and written on a lot. The one aspect of this study is the fact of powerful people in the USA selling us out. By that I mean they want to disassemble what the founders of our nation created. When the Whore is seen in Revelation atop the beast, you have a picture of the true power in the earth today. It is based upon man’s greed, lust, and power. There is no doubt, people today want to bring America into a new formation called the ‘New World Order’. The trouble with that for you and me is, our freedoms will go out as fast as this new Nation is created.
Moreover, an incident happened January 30, 1976. A document written by Council on Foreign Relations member Henry Steele Comsmager was formally introduced to the world. This document called “A Declaration of Interdependence”, endorsed a one world government. A meeting of important people met that day in January at Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. It is ironic these people chose this place for the document they were all signing and pushing started with this sentence:
“Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a New World Order”.
Another group in on this was the World Affairs Council and their five point program they had created. The document was signed by 24 US Senators and 80 US Representatives. Through the ongoing years, drafts were made until the revised form was formally presented by the Committee on the Constitutional System as an alternative to the existing Constitution. The aim of the group was revealed when one of the groups board members, James MacGregor Burns, said the following:
“If we are to turn the founders upside down, we must directly confront the constitutional structure they erected”.
Since that time, other groups have been systematically trying to undo what the founders of our nation created.
Around the same time of the early seventies the Ford and Rockefeller funded $2.5 million dollars annually to a tax exempt foundation called “The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions”. Now the name sounds nice, doesn’t it? The problem is, they were not figuring how to ensure our own nations survival. Instead they were creating and pushing an alternative agenda. You guessed it, they also wanted to confront the constitutional structure our forefathers created. A document titled “Constitution for the United Republics of America” was produced. In a project directed by Rexford Guy Tugwell (Former Assistant Secretary of Agriculture under President Franklin Roosevelt) with 100 socialist educators, the “Newstates Constitution” was created.
The Ford Foundation spent additionally $25 million to produce and promote a book by Tugwell on this called “The Emerging Constitution”. In this book, he called for a complete overhaul of what we know as America. The whole of the changes is lengthy, but in summary here are some of the changes:
The new Constitution called for the States to be divided into Ten Federal Regions, called Republics which would be “subservient departments of the national government.”
The President would serve one 9-year term with two Vice-Presidents.
A hundred Senators would be appointed by the President for lifetime terms, not elected
There would be 400 members in the House of Representatives.
Each of the 100 Congressional Districts would elect three Representatives for three-year terms
Another 100 would be elected by the entire country to serve nine-year terms, and only they could become Committee Chairmen.
This proposed Constitution contains no guarantees of the freedoms that we now have under the Bill of Rights. For example:
Article I, Part A, Section 1: “Freedom of expression shall not be abridged except in a declared emergency“. In an emergency, the government would have the power to curtail communication, movement, and the right to assemble.
Article I, Part B, Section 8: “The bearing of arms or the possession of lethal weapons shall be confined to police, members of the armed forces, and those licensed under the law”. Private citizens would not be allowed to own firearms.
Article VI, Part B, Section 9, Subsection 8: “To assist in the maintenance of world order… to vest jurisdiction in international legislative, judicial and administrative agencies.”

America hit hard with troubles..Just read the headlines. My New book, D-Day For America, is detailed in the Daily News headlines you read. This book is timely and comes with a warning and a message of Hope.

On the morning show, one anchor asked, “do you have any good news”? That certainly seems like a good question. Our news is on the bad side and getting worse. There are good stories out there, but few and far between.

This “bad news” seems to have been verified today. One story Mexican flag flies at U.S. post office tells of an event held:

by backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles, (who) took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.

This event which actually had Police officers on scene revealed the intent of many Mexican Nationals who migrate to California. Never before in recent history has there been so much radical Mexican revolutionary intent as there is now. One woman at the scene who tried to counter protest was accosted by those who held the event. The tide to remove the Americans from the shores of North America are growing. The war has already begun in states bordering Mexico. Yet, amidst all this, our government does nothing. In fact, they have made deals to create the super highway through America to Canada. In addition, there is on the drawing boards a new Federation. It is called the North American Federation, made up of Canada, America, and Mexico. Okay, now what about those of us who don’t want a one world government or be subject to the one world order?

Add to this is the rise in violence. A Story ran entitled : Communities grapple with rise in violence, in which it said:

After a decade of decline, violent crime is on the rise across the U.S. Assault and rape rose 2.5 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to the FBI’s latest report of national crime trends. Murder and robbery are up nearly 5 percent — the sharpest increase since 1991. Medium-sized cities of between 50,000 and 500,000 have been the bloodiest.

Gun-related crime rose 25 percent last year in Seattle, and it’s up another 12 percent this year.

violent crime is up nationwide because of renewed gang rivalries, population growth, budget cuts, pressure on local cops to work homeland security — his force alone has assigned 19 officers to anti-terrorism work — and the cyclical nature of crime

This is alarming because our nation is adrift in Television, Video, and Movie violence anyway. It looks as if all our sowing seeds of bloodshed and violence are reaping rewards in the population. The rewards are more bloodshed, violence, and violent people.

In my book D-Day for America I tell of the coming ‘Smelter of the Lord in the Land of the Free’. This is a time of terrible trouble in The USA. One of the many scriptures from the bible I use in this book reveals where our nation is headed, it is:

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

This book is a warning. Here at the Watchman Institute, our warnings have sounded out for years. This book is a warning, but it also gives hope. I urge you to check out this book. Help us to spread the message. We need to Warn America, the Churches, and the people of what is coming. This book tells it like it is. It is not a pleasant message. It is a needed message.

In another story that brings the message of D-Day For America to the forefront is this one: Experts warn U.S. is coming apart at the seams By Chuck McCutcheon -Newhouse News Service. The article talks about the fragile infrastructure of America and what will happen. It is so alarming that the article tells us America is coming apart at the seams.

When I see events like these, I become concerned that we’ve lost focus on the core operational functionality of the nation’s infrastructure and are becoming a fragile nation, which is just as bad — if not worse — as being an insecure nation,” said Christian Beckner, a Washington analyst who runs the respected Web site Homeland Security Watch (www.christianbeckner.com).

 

Infrastructure deficiencies will further erode our global competitiveness, but with the federal budget so committed to mandatory spending, it’s unclear how we are going to deal with this challenge as we fall further and further behind in addressing these problems,” Hagel said in a speech last year. “We need to think creatively.”

For years, Americans have trusted in their officials to protect them. The problem is, we have been sold out. By greed, avarice, and the ploy of wicked men and women, our nation is headed for disaster. Even churches have been filled with greed and avarice. Not to mention cult like denominationalism which cultivates a false gospel like none other.

I want to encourage you today to seek the Lord. Trouble is here. We cannot trust our National officials, local officials, or even the churches to protect us. In the end, everyone seems to have a special interest. The only interest that will keep you and protect you is your devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone will protect you and give you what you need to survive this perilous society in which we live.

God Bless you…The Watchman

The first and chief need of our Christian life is, Fellowship with God.The Divine life within us comes from God, and is entirely dependent upon Him. As I need every moment afresh the air to breathe, as the s sun every moment afresh sends down its light, so it is only in direct living communication with God that my soul can be strong.

The manna of one day was corrupt when the next day came. I must every day have fresh grace from heaven, and I obtain it only in direct waiting upon God Himself. Begin each day by tarrying before God, and letting Him touch you. Take time to meet God.

2. To this end, let your first act in your devotion be a setting yourself still before God. In prayer, or worship, everything depends upon God taking the chief place. I must bow quietly before Him in humble faith and adoration, speaking thus within my heart: ‘God is. God is near. God is love, longing to communicate Himself to me. God the Almighty One, Who worketh all in all, is even now waiting to work in me, and make Himself known.’ Take time, till you know God is very near.

3. When you have given God His place of honour, glory, and power, take your place of deepest lowliness, and seek to be filled with the Spirit of humility. As a creature it is your blessedness to be nothing that God may be all in you. As a sinner you are not worthy to look up to God; bow in self-abasement. As a saint, let God’s love overwhelm you, and bow you still lower down. Sink down before Him in humility, meekness, patience, and surrender to His goodness and mercy. He will exalt you. Oh! Take time, to get very low before God.

4. Then accept and value your place in Christ Jesus. God delights in nothing but His beloved Son, and can be satisfied with nothing else in those who draw nigh to Him. Enter deep into God’s holy presence in the boldness which the blood gives, and in the assurance that in Christ you are most well pleasing. In Christ you are within the veil. You have access into the very heart and love of the Father. This is the great object of fellowship with God, that I may have more of God in my life, and that God may see Christ formed in me. Be silent before God and let Him bless you.

5. This Christ is a living Person. He loves you with a personal love, and He looks every day for the personal response of your love. Look into His face with trust, till His love really shines into your heart. Make His heart glad by telling Him that you do love Him. He offers Himself to you as a personal Saviour and Keeper from the power of sin. Do not ask, can I be kept from sinning, if I keep close to Him? But ask can I be kept from sinning, if He always keeps close to me? And you see at once how safe it is to trust Him.

6. We have not only Christ’s life in us as a power, and His presence with us as a person, but we have His likeness to be wrought into us. He is to be formed in us, so that His form or figure, His likeness, can be seen in us. Bow before God until you get some sense of the greatness and blessedness of the work to be carried on by God in you this day. Say to God, ‘Father, here am I for Thee to give as much in me of Christ’s likeness as I can receive.’ And wait to hear Him say, ‘My child, I give thee as much of Christ as thy heart is open to receive.’ The God who revealed Jesus in the flesh and perfected Him, will reveal Him in thee and perfect thee in Him. The Father loves the Son, and delights to work out His image and likeness in thee. Count upon it that this blessed work will be done in thee as thou waitest on thy God, and holdest fellowship with Him.

7. The likeness to Christ consists chiefly in two things-the likeness of His death and resurrection, (Rom. 6:5). The death of Christ was the consummation of His humility and obedience, the entire giving up of His life to God. In Him we are dead to sin. As we sink down in humility and dependence and entire surrender to God, the power of His death works in us, and we are made conformable to His death. And so we know Him in the power of His resurrection, in the victory over sin, and all the joy and power of the risen life. Therefore every morning, ‘present yourselves unto God as those that are alive from the dead.’ He will maintain the life He gave, and bestow the grace to live as risen ones.

8. All this can only be in the power of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in you. Count upon Him to glorify Christ in you. Count upon Christ to increase in you the inflowing of His Spirit. As you wait before God to realize His presence, remember that the Spirit is in you to reveal the things of God. Seek in God’s presence to have the anointing of the Spirit of Christ so truly that your whole life may every moment be spiritual.

9. As you meditate on this wondrous salvation and seek full fellowship with the great and holy God, and wait on Him to reveal Christ in you, you will feel how needful the giving up of all is to receive Him. Seek grace to know what it means to live as wholly for God as Christ did. Only the Holy Spirit Himself can teach you what an entire yielding of the whole life to God can mean. Wait on God to show you in this what you do not know. Let every approach to God, and every request for fellowship with Him be accompanied by a new, very definite, and entire surrender to Him to work in you.

We have on this site a special place for Supernatural problems. That is, Supernatural Investigations. We do these types of things as part of our research in the last days. There is no doubt, many believers are having troubling supernatural experiences.

These experiences range from demonic oppression, appearances, nightmarish dreams, thoughts, and other experiences which are not atypical for Christians. These Non-atypical experiences include alien experiences, abductions, dreams, and other entitites which bother or harass them.

The fact that these things happen is not new. The fact that these things are happening to what we call “born again” believers in Jesus Christ, Messiah Yeshua is.  We have a sure word from the Lord:

Colossians 2:15  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

This word tells us, Jesus Christ made a open show of beating all principalities and powers. That is, every region in the earth, on the earth, and above the earth with all its darkest powers were made subject to the Name, Person, and work of Jesus Christ. There is no principality (territories ruled by princes) and powers (the dark powers of the enemy) that Christ did not make an open victory march over. For in Christ all the foes are beaten.

The problem we face, however, is that our enemy is not convinced of that. So the enemy strikes at all people everywhere with his lies and confusion. He also strikes at believers. When he finds one weak, he pounces upon that person with all he has. This is the spiritual battle we face.

2 Corinthians 10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Thus, while many think the battle is physical, it is actually spiritual. It is in the spirit and by the Spirit we challenge and defeat the enemy. This enemy who appears as light, can delude and defeat even the strongest of enemies, if that enemy doesn’t lay claim to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

We are entering the time period, when literally, evil will manifest itself as the ’son of perdition’. Then with cunning lies and displays of the ‘power of darkness’ will bring a delusion into the world like no other. This delusion will be so strong that it could even fool the ‘very elect’. That is why the elect need to be aware and in prayer. The elect need to walk in Christ and be in His Spirit of Power.

Our weapons, therefore, can cancel and defeat the enemy. Many, however look to a physical defeat in the world we live in. This is not always the case. That is, many former believers have been martyred for their faith, while the enemy of the cross marches on.

In Revelation, we  read:

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

This reveals that as the dark powers advance in the tribulation days and even in our pre-trib days, many believers can lose their lives. Our victory over these powers are assured by the faith and grace we have from the Lord. This allows us to follow, believe, and be saved. As we walk, this battle is intensive and many fall on the battle front. But, let me tell you this, when they fall, this does not mean loss, but victory. As more believers wage war and the truth of Christ in the days of delusion in which we live, ours will be the victory. We will win. Although darkness and deception seem to be everywhere, yet we can and will win. That is why we do ongoing Investigations and Research. 

If you have something that you need help with or want to find out more, click on the link above. Be sure to fill in the form completely and leave a good email address. Have our email put in your address book so we can email you.

We have current ongoing investigations into different areas right now. We cannot afford to call everyone up on the phone and talk. If you want to talk, then we do talk on Msn messenger. Just get the Msn messenger and then headphones and you can talk over the internet. We do this all the time.

I want to encourage you also, if you have not done so, to check out my new book, D-Day For America.

Keep your eye on the Lord…The Watchman

ANOTHER CHURCH BULLDOZED

August 23, 2006

Six House Church Leaders Formally Arrested in Zhejiang Province after Church Destruction; Another church in Zhejiang Province was bulldozed. CAA Urges the Release of the Kidnapped China Top Human Rights Christian Attorney Gao Zhisheng

CAA learned on August 21, six detained House Church leaders have been formally arrested after their church was destroyed on July 29th in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province while ten Christians who had been detained since the church demolition were released.
The six arrested were accused of “resisting the carry-out of the law by instigating violence.” Their names are Brother Ni Weimin , Sister Shen Zhuke, Elder Shen Chengyi , Pastor Wang Weiliang, Brother Feng Guanglian and Brother Guo Lijun

 CAA learned at least 4 Christian human rights attorneys including Dr. Li Baiguang, Dr. Fan Yafeng, attorney Zhang Xingshui and attorney Sun Hongye have volunteered to defend the arrested six church leaders.

CAA also learned that the Zhejiang government bulldozed the Dalin church in Shaoxing City. We are still waiting for details.  The arrest of well known human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, August 15, 2006, aroused concerns both domestically and internationally.

Gao was kidnapped by a dozen of Chinese security agents at 12 noon on August 15 at his sister’s home in Shandong province. Only until two days later, the Chinese official news agency confirmed Gao’s arrest by accusing him as a suspect of committing crime. Since then, Gao’s whereabouts’ is still unknown.  Outsiders are not able to contact his family. His wife, two young children are still under house arrest. When visitors came to their home officers of the National Security Bureau (NSB) answered the door. A group of NSB officers stayed with Mr. Gao’s wife and children (ages 13 and 2) in their apartment after his arrest in order to monitor them. These visitors also found plain-clothed policemen around.

“The formal arrest of the six House church leaders in Zhejiang and arbitrary detention of Mr. Gao will be the litmus test to the whole world as to whether the Chinese government will truly carry out its promise to rule of the law and religious freedom,” said Rev. Bob Fu, President of CAA, “The house arrest of Mr. Gao’s family members is absolutely illegal. Forcibly entering and occupying private property is completely in violation of the China’s Constitution. Putting two children under house arrest also violates the International Covenant on Children’s Rights.”

CAA calls upon the international community to urgently take prayerful actions to secure Mr. Gao’s release. CAA urges President Bush and Secretary Rice to personally intervene for the safety of Mr. Gao and his family members.

Wang Weiliang was arrested, on the approval of the Xiaoshan District Prosecutor, by our bureau August 19, 2006, for resisting the carry-out of the law by instigating violence. He is currently held in the Xiao Shan Detention Center.

The news today has been full of Israel and the resulting fiasco in Lebanon. It has no doubt it has been history, which has kept virulent Arab states from attacking Israel. This history revealed the small nation’s ability to defend itself against all odds. Of course, if you ask conservative Christians and even the Israelis themselves, God had a hand in it.

Moreover, the losses in the past by Arab nations to Israel were more than just defeats. It was a real spanking so to speak. They were whipped but good. The avenue for resistance was virtually eliminated all together by the far superior Jewish force. Although outnumbered, they managed, as in the six-day war to achieve miraculous victories. I can still remember listening to the tape of Israel’s army advance into Jerusalem. This recording was made public. It told of the excitement as Jews for the first time actually were gaining control of Jerusalem. In this instance, the inheritance of David came to full light as the Jews seemed to understand the actual event that stood out. The times of the gentiles treading down Jerusalem looked like it came to an end.

Prophecy scholars went right to work on the biblical significance of the event. This marked the point in prophetic history where the Jewish state now had control of its biblical homeland with Jerusalem as its jewel. From this point on, it seemed, the small nation would continue.

However, if one were to look real close at scriptures, it is plain the problems would not be over. For Israel will face enemies right up to the time of the Messiah’s arrival. Many bible scholars put this time at the end of the tribulation. It is during this time that most believe Israel will indeed come to see Jesus Christ, Messiah Yeshua as the true Messiah.

All this was hope and hoped for. Israel to be in the land. Has anything changed? You bet it has. With the short 30 days or so war, Israel has put herself backward to pre-six day war times. Today, the Arab states are emboldened, convinced they can destroy Israel. Now they are working already on another attack. Further, Israel also has foreign troops on her border. Along with this the international community with its bias and hatred against the Jewish state is involved more than ever.

Israel and her leadership failed the Jewish nation. By killing so many innocent Lebanese and not disarming Hezbullah, they are the losers. Because of the short mismanaged war, this hatred has risen. Israel today still does not have her soldiers back. One thing they were desperate to do. They were going to clean out this terrorist group. Now they are more entrenched than ever. Israel is back to square one, but this time the stakes are even higher.

Israel will now face a more determined enemy. Missiles’ will continue to fall. This time they will come from Lebanon and Syria both, with the possible addition of Iran. Resistence will also come from Gaza. Because the leadership of Israel has been so consistent in giving land for peace, they have nowhere to run. Because they are now weak, they are facing destruction as never before. Add to this the fact that the Bush administration has pushed them into various actions and this leaves the tiny nation with only a few actual friends. One is the conservative Christian who loves Israel and her people. The other is the Lord Himself, who will protect Israel in the end when all nations forsake her.

The next battle for Israel could be the big one. With our nation embroiled in Iraq and Afghanistan we don’t have much left to fight other foes. Our foes like North Korea, Iraq, and even China would take us on. China has already told us of their intent over Taiwan. They have said a nuclear exchange with us will come if we try to help Taiwan. A thing America will have to do since we have a mutual agreement with Taiwan to help them if such a thing occurs. The next time all out war hits Israel, our enemies could hit us at the same time. With us out of the mix and taken care of, Israel faces it alone.

The next war with Israel could indeed be her Armageddon. This war I speak of is not the same one in Revelation. This is what I call ‘prophecy’ talk. It stands for a really big bad war with lots of dead. There is only one way to go with all this. Until the ‘son of perdition’ comes and makes a treaty with Israel and her enemies, this war will arrive. After this person arises and puts his plan in motion, the rest of Israel’s prophetic scenario will take place. At the hub of it all, is the Lord who will bring Israel to himself according to Romans 11. This is Paul’s discourse on the Lord grafting in Israel again. Until the Lord actually rescues Israel and establishes her, there will be no permanent peace.

Check out the D-Day which is coming to America!

The Hezbollah-Israel Conflict: By the Numbers

The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel began on July 12 when Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite terrorist organization, killed eight Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers and kidnapped two others on Israel’s side of the border with Lebanon. Hezbollah coordinated the kidnapping scheme to coincide with massive rocket and mortar shell attacks on IDF positions and Israeli villages. In response, Israel retaliated with an operation on southern Lebanon aimed at disarming Hezbollah and to rescue the abducted IDF soldiers. Hezbollah’s daily barrage of rocket attacks has taken a heavy toll on Israel’s civilian population, including its economy and its environment.

Since the conflict began:

  • 159 Israeli citizens have been killed by Hezbollah rocket fire; of those
    • 43 were Christian, Jewish, and Muslim civilians
    • 116 were IDF soldiers killed in rocket attacks as well as in combat  [1]
  • 4,262  civilians were treated for injuries in hospitals; of those, 33 were seriously wounded, 68 were moderately wounded, and 1,388 were lightly wounded. Another 2,773 suffered from shock and anxiety. [2]
  • Over 2 million people – almost a third of Israel’s population - were within Hezbollah rocket range[3]
  • 300,000 – 500,000 Israelis have been displaced [4]
  • More than 1 million residents were forced to live in bomb shelters [5]
  • 6,000 homes were hit by rockets [6]
  • 7,600 damage claims have been filed [7]

A Snapshot of Hezbollah’s Rocket Attacks:

  • 13,000 rockets are in Hezbollah’s arsenal [8]
  • 3,970: The number of rockets Hezbollah has fired into Israeli cities and towns; 901 landed in urban areas [9]
  • Of the missiles Hezbollah has fired at Israel: 
    • Over 1,000 have hit the Kiryat Shmona area
    • 808 have hit near Nahariya
    • 471 have hit near Tzfat (Safed)
    • 176 have hit near Karmiel
    • 106 have hit near Akko
    • 93 rockets have hit the Haifa area
    • 81 rockets have hit the Tiberias vicinity [10]
    • 1,800buildings used by Hezbollah have been destroyed by Israeli forces [11]
  • 530 Hezbollah guerrillas have been killed by the IDF [12]
  • 309 Hezbollah rocket launchers have been destroyed by the IDF [13]
  • 33  Hezbollah-built tunnels have been destroyed by the IDF [14]

Economic Losses to Israel:  

  • $1.6 billion: The estimated cost of damage to the economy [15]
  • $5.3 billion: The cost of the war [16]

The hatred in the Middle east continues to build up. I have said for years now of the coming day of holocost coming to this nation. It will happen on our shores. I call this day, D-Day For America, the time when “the Smelter of the Lord occurs in the Land of the Free“. If you haven’t done so, check out my new book. This book details this day and the tools you need to get through it.

Moreover, we have another update from the Palestinian Media Watch. They monitor the hatred for America and Israel. This hatred has reached fever pitch now that the Arabs think they can beat Israel. The weakness on Israel’s part in this stupid war is unbelieveable. The last number of years, Israel has done so many things that has brought her to this. Pulling out of Gaza, then wanting to pull out of the West Bank are just examples.

Many innocent people on both sides have been killed because of the mistakes in this one month old war. The thing this war did was embolden the Arabs and terroists who hate both Israel and the USA. They see Israel as an arm of the USA.  Here is what the Palestinian Media Watch is reporting.


Israel is arm of the USA

by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

In the same way that the Western world sees Iran as a primary force spreading Islamist ideology and views Hezbollah as an arm of Iran, the Palestinian Authority and Hezbollah portray the United States as the leader of world imperialism whereas Israel plays the role of proxy of the United States in the Middle East.

In the same way that the Western world sees Iran as a primary force spreading Islamist ideology and views Hezbollah as an arm of Iran, the Palestinian Authority and Hezbollah portray the United States as the leader of world imperialism whereas Israel plays the role of proxy of the United States in the Middle East.Throughout the war in Lebanon, Hezbollah TV (Al Manar) has been running anti-American hate clips, while the PA media continues its campaign of hatred against the US, focused on portraying the US as the imperialist threat, responsible for wars and international conflicts.

The Al Manar videos show US President George W. Bush – called the “Master of State Terrorism” – holding an ax, along with clips of America dropping the atomic bomb, scenes from the Vietnam War and a B-52 releasing a bomb. They also portray US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton wearing a Nazi armband and a Hitler mustache, as the word “Nazi” is shown on the screen. The US is defined as “the Great Satan”.

The Palestinian media presents the US as the leading imperialist nation. Note that portrayals of the US as “leader of the war against the world” and “harms all of mankind,” were not responses to the current war as both were said in the days just prior to the war. This Palestinian Authority ‘imperialist’ label for the US has been a constant theme in PA ideology for years, and is not dependent on specific international events. In summing up the war, the PA daily wrote yesterday that the Israeli response to the Hezbollah attacks was decided in Washington: “No Zionist politician can doubt who made the decision to attack Lebanon … Since this [attack] is the supreme policy that is organically connected to the direct American interest.”

Hezbollah Hate Clips 

The following are the statements from the Palestinian media. Note: the PA media has not been transferred to the Hamas and remains under the control of Mahmoud Abbas.

“Who leads wars…in this world that are meant to destroy the universe and to terrorize? This is America! Who produces means of terror and destruction in this world other than America?.. Who builds prisons and adopts a policy of human rights violations other than America?…Who deprives aid to the poor of the world except America? What weapons were used to murder the family of the girl Ghaliya if not American weapons?…Today, America has become the leader of the war against the world.”

[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 1, 2006]

“This attack harms all of mankind, because it is barbaric. It is motivated by primitive ethnic motives which are nourished by a dinosaur empire, that is the United States … which described the current events as self-defense.”

[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 3, 2006]

“No Zionist politician can doubt who made the decision to attack Lebanon – whether it was the Zionist entity or the administration of tyranny in Washington. Since this [attack] is the supreme policy that is organically connected to the direct American interest.”

[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, August 15, 2006]

The book D-Day For America has been out for some time. The hits on this website has risen considerably since its inception. As with our other site http://www.wingswatchman.org  whose stats have gone through the roof this year. The increase is tremendous but not yet where we want it to be. That said, we have been focusing on the end time prophecies and delusions in the day and age we live in.

There have been some topics we have covered recently that have taken us adrift so to speak from some main line topics. You will probably find some of these articles on both sites. We do this to follow up the leads that we come in contact with daily. People who are hurting, have trouble, or have had a traumatic experience. Such is the case with the recent investigations into Alien abductions. Along with this have come other Meta-physical , that is above the physical reality of our sphere, happenings.

We are living in the day of delusions. There are many going on. I recommend you go to this page and scroll to the bottom and read the scripture on the ‘delusions’ of the endtime. The believer today, must focus on Christ Jesus. Have faith centered in Him. Remember, the delusions today are meant to destroy your faith. To take away the legitiment foundation of your belief. We saw this in Dan Browns Book, ‘the DaVinci Code’, which was taken from the Gnostic Gospels.

Moreover, as we walk this road together, we will investigate many things. The whole idea is to unravel and destroy the myths. In turn open eyes to Christ Jesus and His Lordship over all things. If you have not been following some of this research and investigation, I urge you to do so. That is, unless, this kind of stuff bothers you. In that case, do not read it or touch it. Stay away. We investigate and research, write and preach repentance. All avenues lead us to one area. That is Jesus Christ. Utimately it is what you have done about your faith in Christ Jesus and your repentance.

Therefore, Focus on Faith Centered In Christ. If you come up against something that brings you trouble. Let us know. We will investigate and do our best to bring you the biblical scriptural answer.

You can contact us for investigations on the link here:

In a day and age of people not trusting the government, another court decision has come down. For all those who reveal what they believe the government is doing, beware. For all watchdogs of the USA  be careful. The average citizen who unknowingly receives information about something the government has done and that information is according to the government classified, your in trouble. Of course, the ruling does limit the government to proving your intent. What this ruling does is open one more door to intrusive Governmental control over a population. Thats what Communist China does today, as does North Korea. Will we ever be that way? How far is the step from 1-Constitutional Republic to 2-Democratic Nation to 3-World Babylon Empire ruled by design of powerful men? You decide.

This is reported by Secrecy News, Steven Aftergood, Federation of American Scientists. The watchdog group has always sought, a long with other organizations, documents that the government has released. The problem has been in the recent years, unwillingness on the governments behalf to release certain things.

Of course they say it is because of the secret nature and possible harm to national security that they do not want to release it. The problem is, our government over the last 100 years has had politicians and powerful men that sought to make this nation into a one world government entity. It has been transformed already from a constitutional republic to  a democracy. We already are fomenting a one world idealism by invading other nations in the guise of democracy.

Moreover, in the article which follows, Steven Aftergood tells the story as it has occurred…The Watchman

 


  

RECIPIENTS OF “LEAKS” MAY BE PROSECUTED,

COURT RULES

 In a momentous expansion of the government’s authority to regulate public disclosure of national security information, a federal court ruled that even private citizens who do not hold security clearances can be prosecuted for unauthorized receipt and disclosure of classified information.

The August 9 ruling by Judge T.S. Ellis, III, denied a motion to dismiss the case of two former employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) who were charged under the Espionage Act with illegally receiving and transmitting classified information.

 http://www.fas.org/sgp/jud/rosen080906.pdf

The decision is a major interpretation of the Espionage Act with implications that extend far beyond this particular case. The Judge ruled that any First Amendment concerns regarding freedom of speech involving national defense information can be superseded by national security considerations. “Although the question whether the government’s interest in preserving its national defense secrets is sufficient to trump the First Amendment rights of those not in a position of trust with the government [i.e. not holding security clearances] is a more difficult question, and although the authority addressing this issue is sparse, both common sense and the relevant precedent point persuasively to the conclusion that the government can punish those outside of the government for the unauthorized receipt and deliberate retransmission of information relating to the national defense,” Judge Ellis wrote (p. 53).

The provisions of the Espionage Act are not impermissibly overbroad or unconstitutional, the Judge ruled, because they are limited by the requirements that the prohibited behavior be both knowing and willful. “The government must… prove that the person alleged to have violated these provisions knew the [restricted] nature of the information, knew that the person with whom they were communicating was not entitled to the information, and knew that such communication was illegal, but proceeded nonetheless.” “Finally, with respect only to intangible information [as opposed to documents], the government must prove that the defendant had a reason to believe that the disclosure of the information could harm the United States or aid a foreign nation….” “So construed, the statute is narrowly and sensibly tailored to serve the government’s legitimate interest in protecting the national security, and its effect on First Amendment freedoms is neither real nor substantial as judged in relation to this legitimate sweep,” Judge Ellis wrote (p. 63). Others will disagree.

For example, the classified 2004 report of Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba on prisoner abuse Abu Ghraib prison clearly fit the court’s description of national defense information that is closely held by the government. Moreover, its unauthorized disclosure was likely to, and did in fact, harm the United States. And yet that disclosure also served an important national purpose in prompting a public debate over U.S. policy on prisoner detention and interrogation. But under Judge Ellis’ new interpretation, those reporters and others who communicated this information to the public could apparently be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. Judge Ellis concluded his opinion by noting that the provisions of the Espionage Act “have remained largely unchanged since the administration of William Howard Taft.” Technological and other changes over the past century “should suggest to even the most casual observer that the time is ripe for Congress to engage in a thorough review and revision of these provisions to ensure that they reflect both these changes, and contemporary views about the appropriate balance between our nation’s security and our citizens’ ability to engage in public debate about the United States’ conduct in the society of nations.”
