TERROR ALERT !!! : 8.29.14 - FBI, Homeland Security Bulletin Asks Police to Be Aware of ISIS

FBI, Homeland Security Bulletin Asks Police to Be Aware of ISIS - http://boston.cbslocal.com/2014/08/22/fbi-homeland-security-bulletin-asks-police-to-be-aware-of-isis/ 

 
Federal authorities sent a bulletin to U.S. law enforcement Friday in light of the threat concerning militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), according to CBS News.
 
The bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI cites no known threat to the U.S. homeland, but reminds law enforcement to be alert and aware of the ISIS threat, CBS reported.
 
U.S. law enforcement has been intensifying efforts to identify Islamic State sympathizers who could help export the group's brand of violent jihad to the United States.
 
They come amid a new barrage of U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State group that beheaded American journalist James Foley of Rochester, New Hampshire.
 
The group called Foley's killing revenge for previous strikes against militants in Iraq.
 
WBZ-TV security analyst Ed Davis says there's no question the stakes have been raised by ISIS running from Syria through Iraq.
 
"They've not only collected ransom from European countries for hostages but they've sacked several banks that have given them hundreds of millions of dollars," Davis said.
 
"When you see an organization that's this well grounded in tactics also having the ability financially to move those plans forward it's a very troubling time," he added.
 
Davis called the ISIS militants highly trained military people who know exactly what they're doing.

Why the Earthquake near San Francisco Is Just the Start of the Shaking in California

Why the Earthquake near San Francisco Is Just the Start of the Shaking in California -  By Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/why-the-earthquake-near-san-francisco-is-just-the-start-of-the-shaking-in-california 

 
If you thought that the earthquake that struck northern California on Sunday was something, just wait until you see what is coming in the years ahead.  As you will read about below, we live at a time when earthquake activity is dramatically increasing.  This is especially true of the "Ring of Fire" which runs roughly along the outer perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.  Approximately 81 percent of all big earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire, and the entire west coast of the United States falls within the danger zone.  Over the past few years, we have seen huge earthquake after huge earthquake strike various areas along the Ring of Fire, but up until now the California coastline has mostly been spared.  However, there are indications that this may be about to change in a big way.
 
Early on Sunday, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck the heart of wine country.  It was the largest earthquake to hit northern California in 25 years.  More than 120 people were injured, scores of buildings were damaged and Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency.
 
It is being projected that the economic loss from this earthquake will exceed a billion dollars.  Since the initial quake, there have been more than 60 aftershocks, and residents are very much hoping that the worst is over.  The following is how the damage caused by the earthquake was described by CNN...
 
"Everything and everyone in Napa was affected by the quake. My house, along with everybody else's, is a disaster. It looks like somebody broke in and ravaged the place, room by room." said CNN iReporter Malissa Koven, who was awakened by the shaking at about 3:20 a.m.
 
"Anything and everything that could fall, did," she said.
 
The damage in Napa is "fairly significant," said Glenn Pomeroy, the CEO of the California Earthquake Authority, who surveyed the area Sunday afternoon.
 
"The downtown area is hardest hit, probably because of the age of construction down there," Pomeroy said. In the residential areas, he is "seeing a lot of chimneys that've come crashing down."
 
That sounds pretty bad, right?
 
But remember, this was only a 6.1 magnitude earthquake.  As Wikipedia explains, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake would be many times more powerful...
 
The Richter magnitude scale (also Richter scale) assigns a magnitude number to quantify the energy released by an earthquake. The Richter scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale, which defines magnitude as the logarithm of the ratio of the amplitude of the seismic waves to an arbitrary, minor amplitude.
 
As measured with a seismometer, an earthquake that registers 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times greater than that of an earthquake that registered 4.0, and thus corresponds to a release of energy 31.6 times greater than that released by the lesser earthquake.
 
And the earthquake that happened on Sunday would not even be worth comparing to an 8.0 or a 9.0 quake.  In fact, one study concluded that a 9.0 magnitude earthquake along the Cascadia fault could potentially produce a giant tsunami that would "wash away coastal towns"...
 
If a 9.0 earthquake were to strike along California's sparsely populated North Coast, it would have a catastrophic ripple effect.
 
A giant tsunami created by the quake would wash away coastal towns, destroy U.S. 101 and cause $70 billion in damage over a large swath of the Pacific coast. More than 100 bridges would be lost, power lines toppled and coastal towns isolated. Residents would have as few as 15 minutes notice to flee to higher ground, and as many as 10,000 would perish.
 
Scientists last year published this grim scenario for a massive rupture along the Cascadia fault system, which runs 700 miles off shore from Northern California to Vancouver Island.
 
And when we think about "the Big One" hitting California, most of the time we think about southern California.  The most famous fault line in southern California is the San Andreas fault, but the truth is that many experts are far more concerned about the Puente Hills fault line.  According to one seismologist, that is the fault that would be most likely to "eat L.A." and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in economic damage...
 
Video simulations of a rupture on the Puente Hills fault system show how energy from a quake could erupt and be funneled toward L.A.'s densest neighborhoods, with the strongest waves rippling to the west and south across the Los Angeles Basin.
 
According to estimates by the USGS and Southern California Earthquake Center, a massive quake on the Puente Hills fault could kill from 3,000 to 18,000 people and cause up to $250 billion in damage. Under this worst-case scenario, people in as many as three-quarters of a million households would be left homeless.
 
So don't get too excited about what happened on Sunday.  Scientists assure us that it is only a matter of time before "the Big One" hits California.
 
In fact, the 6.1 magnitude earthquake that hit northern California on Sunday was not even the largest earthquake along the Ring of Fire this weekend.  According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake shook the area around Valparaiso, Chile on Saturday and a 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck Peru on Sunday.
 
As I mentioned above, we have moved into a time when seismic activity is steadily rising.  It has gotten to the point where even the mainstream media cannot ignore it anymore.  For example, just check out the following excerpt from a recent CBS News report...
 
 
The average rate of big earthquakes - those larger than magnitude 7 - has been 10 per year since 1979, the study reports. That rate rose to 12.5 per year starting in 1992, and then jumped to 16.7 per year starting in 2010 - a 65 percent increase compared to the rate since 1979. This increase accelerated in the first three months of 2014 to more than double the average since 1979, the researchers report.
 
Something is happening that scientists don't understand, and that is a little scary.
 
As I wrote about the other day, earthquake activity seems to particularly be increasing in the United States.  While the west has been relatively quiet, the number of earthquakes in the central and eastern portions of the nation has quintupled over the past 30 years...
 
According to the USGS, the frequency of earthquakes in the central and eastern U.S. has quintupled, to an average of 100 a year during the 2011-2013 period, up from only 20 per year during the 30-year period to 2000.
 
Most of these quakes were minor, but research published by the USGS earlier this year demonstrated that a relatively minor magnitude 5.0 quake caused by wastewater injection after conventional oil drilling triggered a much bigger, 5.7 magnitude quake in Prague, Okla.
 
"We know the hazard has increased for small and moderate size earthquakes. We don't know as well how much the hazard has increased for large earthquakes. Our suspicion is it has but we are working on understanding this," said William Ellsworth, a scientist with the USGS.
 
What in the world could be causing this to happen?
 
Oklahoma, which used to rarely ever have significant earthquakes, has experienced over 2,300 earthquakes so far in 2014.
 
That is absolutely staggering.
 
And of course volcanic activity has been rising all over the planet as well.  In 2013, the number of eruptions around the globe set a new all-time high, and right now persistent rumbling under Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano has much of Europe on alert...
 
For more than a week the earth has been rumbling beneath Iceland's looming Bardarbunga volcano. The almost continuous small earthquakes led the government to activate its National Crisis Coordination Centre this week and block off access to the largely uninhabited region around the Bardarbunga caldera.
 
Major airlines are making contingency plans for a potential eruption that could throw dust into the atmosphere and disrupt flight paths between North America and Europe.
 
Some scientists are saying that if that volcano erupts, it "could trigger Britain's coldest winter ever".
 
Clearly something is happening.
 
All over the world seismic activity is on the rise.
 
That means that the shaking in California (and in much of the rest of the world) may soon get a whole lot worse.

Warnings of a coming apocalypse -

Warnings of a coming apocalypse - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com 
 
Former CIA chief retired General Michael Hayden told CNN that the Islamic State (IS) will attempt an attack on targets in the US or Europe. He said of the recent beheading of journalist James Foley "There's no more powerful way to express their street credentials among the jihadist community than a successful attack against the West." Retired Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney said the IS may attack the US "and they will be here maybe this 9/11." Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel says that the IS "is beyond anything we have seen." The federal government has issued a warning to local law enforcement that IS could attack US targets as over 100 jihadists are known to have left the US to fight for the IS.
 
There are many reports from various news sources around the world about the savagery of IS fighters as they conquer villages in Iraq, beheading, mass killing, and crucifying those men, women and children who they suspect do not agree with the IS Caliphate ideology. Quite frankly, this is the Middle East the occupant of the Oval Office has created. His support of the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda (remember who claimed credit for 9/11?) against various governments in Northern Africa and the Middle East, and his direct support for what became the Islamic State, has supplied military know-how, weapons and tactics to birth the most powerful religious-military-economic force Hagel has ever seen.
 
Various generals are now warning of attacks on American soil--of which this "president" has refused to secure the borders, allowing militants into the nation with impunity. These generals and various politicians are pointing out the obvious--that an attack is imminent. They say the solution is to attack IS in Iraq, and seem to be beating the drums of fear to garner public support for yet another war. It does appear that the US is set up well for the "president's" destructive foreign policy pigeons to come home to roost. He has elevated Islam at the expense of America and everyone is warning of the consequences--an attack on American soil. They wring their hands and wail about it as if nothing can be done.
 
Biblically, there is much to happen before the Apocalypse, but this "president" has accelerated the times. This "president" appears to love Islam and is doing all to advance it. When his beasts attack our malls and schools, will we awake from our slumber? And what of us? Are we beginning to see the collective consequences of choosing evil to lead? This is not the Apocalypse, but it is in the future. In response, I am reminded of 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Ephesians 6:13, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." There will be a time to stand and it may be soon coming.

Things Coming Together - Part Two

Things Coming Together - Part Two - By Gene Lawley - http://www.raptureready.com/featured/lawley/lawley58.html 

 
Two more topics of that trio of end-time activities are yet to be discussed in this part. A beast rising out of the sea, having seven heads, one of which is described as "the beast that was, and is not, and yet is," and another beast, rising up out of the earth, having two horns like that of a lamb-these two entities are the biblical headliners for these next two topics, as they are presented in Revelation 13 and its following chapters.
 
Things Political 
 
Inseparably linked to control of the world economy is the burning desire for a One World Order or Government. Indeed, the same global elitists are part and partial of the same wolf pack. I was not totally surprised when Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State in the Nixon administration, with joyful elation, exclaimed after the election of Barack Obama as president in 2008, "He has been primed to lead us into a New World Order." But I was really surprised that it was so openly declared, and that Kissinger, an alleged conservative, would align himself with such a pro-liberal faction. Boy o' boy, that sealed the case for major complicity in high levels of government and industry for a shadow government that is secretly guiding the United States toward a One World Government.
 
Reading the admission of David Rockefeller in his "Memoirs" should convince anyone who cares to search it out that the confident goal of the global elitists has reached almost to its conclusion. Here is Rockefeller's admission:
 
Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. (David Rockefeller, Memoirs, page 405)
 
Such openness would not have been allowed fifty years ago, and certainly not a hundred years ago. Following is a statement made by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913, in respect to this secret and shadowy ruling power and its diabolical hold on government and business leaders:
 
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere, so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." (Woodrow Wilson - "The New Freedom" - 1913)
 
Standing in the way of that world domination is the sovereignty of the United States of America with its constitutional republic form of government. In the nearly six years of the Obama administration rule, it is obvious that the direction Obama is taking the nation is to its demise. What is more glaring is the apparent complicity at every level of government that is allowing him to do it. (Almost as if a Providential Hand is in the mix...! More on this later in the article.)
 
That seventh head of the seven-headed beast that John writes of in Revelation 13:1 is still in its formative development, but the world is eager for its leader to emerge. Over sixty years ago the chairman of the General Assembly of the United Nations, in reference to the struggle to unite Europe into the European Union, said:
 
"We do not want another committee. We have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass in which we are sinking. Send us such a man and, be he God or the devil, we will receive him." And their vision has not diminished but has risen to include the whole world, and, as Henry Kissinger has stated, has included the "priming" of such a man. It is uncanny, however, that if this man is the chosen one who is expected to take that role of leadership, then they have chosen one who is decidedly inept and unqualified, a novice, and thus, easily directed by others of broader vision. Especially would he be easily controlled by that raging red dragon described in Revelation 12 and identified as the motivating power and authority of the Beast in Revelation 13:2.
 
Things Religious 
 
It is interesting how something written in the first century that seemed to have no direct application to any particular person or entity then, yet now looms large on the scene as the future unfolds.
 
I have in mind that word of Paul in 2 Timothy 3:5, "having a form of godliness but denying its power." If the startup foundation is not on a pure spiritual base, it is doomed to experience a history of evil corruption of all kinds. When Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?" (Matthew 16:13), they gave Him several answers-John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
 
Then He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:16-18).
 
The original Greek language of the phrase, "on this rock," cannot refer to Peter but to the declaration that Peter had made, and which Peter had not, of himself, thought up. It is not conceivable that Christ, who is the head of His church, would give that place to a human being, just after having said that the reality of His identity could only be known by a revelation of the Spirit of God.
 
However, that church which embodies the fullest extent of that description given by Paul, above, "having a form of godliness but denying its power," grabbed onto that Matthew 16 passage and created its own "Tower of Babel" world-wide monstrosity that has ruled the souls of men for all of the succeeding centuries. False doctrines have abounded with the church and some have spilled out into the Protestant arena.
 
Any thoughtful reading of the book of Revelation would conclude that John was describing the Church of Rome in a futuristic manner. When John wrote of those things, it was about 96 A.D., according to most references, so the Roman Catholic Church was not in place then and would not be for perhaps a couple of centuries. Yet, the prophetic descriptions of that second beast and its involvements in end-time activities point to that entity and its present pope. His attempts to bring Jews, Muslins and Protestants together with Catholics into one body is characteristic of that prophetic description in Revelation.
 
A church whose members relegate their spiritual destiny into the hands of another man (a priest) is a church whose members are prone to compromise, to see current events without spiritual understanding. Likewise are those who have little knowledge of the Word of God and are not aware of the times and seasons of God's appointed events. They are prime candidates for the "falling away" that the Scriptures speak about. When a spiritual leader declares that atheists will be able to be in heaven, depending on their consciences, as did the Pope recently, one might well be concerned about what foundation that church is built upon, and what its destiny will be.
 
Three areas are targets of rejection these days of the end-times. The worldwide hatred and rejection of Israel, the rejection of Christ and anything called Christian, and the rejection of the Word of God, the Bible. News stories show up on a daily basis of one or all of these being rejected, not allowed, in the public arena. Recall earlier in the article, I pointed out that where there is rejection of Bible truth, the void is quickly filled with evil, for where God is not wanted, He lets man have his own way. Twice Solomon wrote this proverb: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25). Is it doubly important, then?
 
A common expectation voiced by many has been that there will be a great revival before the coming of the Lord, in which many will be saved, but it does not appear that it will be before the Rapture, based on Matthew 24:14: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." On this side of the Rapture, we are told of a "falling away" that will conclude with a "taking away" by the Lord's intervention (2 Thessalonians 2:1-7).
 
After the Rapture and as the seven-year "time of Jacob's trouble" begins to unfold, we see God's anointing of the 144,000 special servants of the twelve tribes of Israel resulting in a great multitude "which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne (Revelation 7:9). This seems to be the Matthew 24:14 event, even so, with the curious description of the message, "the gospel of the kingdom" rather than a gospel of grace and redemption through Christ, as would have been common during the church age. The message of salvation will have a different connotation when God's "economy" reverts back to the manner of relationship with God as it was in Daniel's day, wherein the Holy Spirit was with the believers, not indwelling them.
 
That mocking question, "Where is the promise of His coming," appears to be on the verge of being answered quite suddenly; for Paul informed the Thessalonians, and by the eternal nature of those words that were inspired by the Holy Spirit, believers of today, "...You yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night, for when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape" (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3). Is that cry about to resound across the Middle East and around the world in hopeful anticipation of differences being settled and "peace" coming to the Land of Israel?

Things Coming Together - Part One -

Things Coming Together - Part One - By Gene Lawley - http://www.raptureready.com/featured/lawley/lawley57.html 
 
 An oft-quoted statement of Jesus in reference to the last days, is the one from Luke 21:28: "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." But the scoffer and the non-believer-maybe even the believer-raise questions about the validity of relative events meaning anything. After all, "Where is the promise of His coming; you've been talking about that for years and years," they say, not without derision.
 
So how can we know that current events carry the weight of end-time prophetic fulfillment? A couple of Scripture references are important to consider at this point: "Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7). This one certainly is evidenced in the prophecies of Daniel, as well as the other Old Testament prophets. Peter also gives credence to this advance notice provision in 1 Peter 1:10-12 and 2 Peter 1:16-19.
 
The other reference is John 16:13: "However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." Notice that this Spirit will guide a believer into all truth, and He will tell of things to come. I submit that included in the admonition to "Watch" that Jesus repeated so often is the paying attention to current events and matching them with Bible prophecies, thus knowing what things are coming together and pointing toward God's appointed time.
 
Now to the broad array of "Things Coming Together" and significantly, all in the same time- frame:
 
Things Physical 
 
Luke records the words of Jesus as to what to expect in these last days: "And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven" (Luke 21:11).
 
One only has to read the daily headlines in the news, or do an internet key word search for earthquakes, famines or pestilences, and learn that their increases are hammering the news pages. Especially noted are the many earthquakes in places that were unheard of a few years ago. In the states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas they are almost a daily occurrence and sometimes multiple quakes in the same day. Of course, these are being explained off by problems created by the oil industry, but I note that quakes are reported at the same time around the globe.
 
Erratic weather patterns-hurricanes, tornadoes in strange places, seemingly unceasing winter storms, volcanoes erupting or threatening to erupt, are not "global warming" or "climate changing" results, in my opinion. But because of their volume of increase in these days over those of just a few decades ago, I think Romans 8:19-23 better describes the nature of these things:
 
"For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body."
 
The earth is groaning in anticipation of its redemption from the curse that came upon it when Adam sinned in the Garden and was expelled to a destiny of hacking out a livelihood amid thorns and brambles-see Genesis 3:17-19. Thus man, when he believes, also groans within himself for his own redemption, as the Romans 8 passage declares!
 
Then, signs in the heavens-unusual solar activity of sun spots, magnetic waves, reversing of its poles; asteroid and meteor bypasses of earth have been repeatedly reported in the news. The coming strange and rare collection of lunar eclipses that NASA, our space agency, has projected for 2014 and 2015, with a solar eclipse in the middle of them and having scheduled dates that are set for the first and last of the Jewish annual feast days that were established in Leviticus 23.
 
Things Social
 
In this category we can include the moral decline of societies around the world reflected in sexual orientation issues such as legalization of same-sex marriage, the ground-swell push toward legalized drug culture practices, the resulting thievery, murders, rapes and general distrust and disunity between races and people in general.
 
It spins out this way: When a people reject the God of creation from their midst, a vacuum does not result in His place-it is immediately filled with evil. In the case of the believer who turns from God, his life becomes filled with the lusts of the flesh. The non-believing society which refuses to allow acknowledgement of God, especially in the person of Jesus Christ, automatically opens the door to whatever diabolical presence that chooses to enter. The result of rejecting God is shown in Romans 1:18-32, and ends with the "falling away" of apostasy that Paul writes of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
 
When that context is followed on to the next level of the encroachment of evil, Paul notes that the final resistance to evil is taken away and then, the source of all evil is revealed in the fullness of that man of sin, that lawless one: "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming" (2 Thessalonians 2:7-8).
 
That Three-Part Cluster of Things 
 
Those things discussed above, generally things in the earth and in the heavens, are not devised by man, even though Al Gore and his followers would have us believe so, in respect to weather patterns and other physical phenomenon the world has seen unfolding in increasing magnitude.
 
Mankind definitely is the frontrunner in the social and moral ills of our society, but these are not like they are planned as goals to be sought. It's like unwanted reminders from God that man really cannot make it without Him. As was mentioned earlier, the message of Romans 1:18-32 is that when a society rejects God and His truth, He turns His back on it and its end result is total degradation. The alternative message is that of 2 Peter 3:9, For God is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." ("And be saved," I would add.) Man is not only physical, he also is a spiritual being, therefore what Jesus declared is absolutely essential: "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God'" (Matthew 4:4), as I seem to refer to so often.
 
So, we come to this cluster of things coming together that are particularly dependent on God's eternal plan and previously appointed times of their emergence.
 
Things Economic 
 
Without any shadow of doubt, even, it is clear that Barack Obama's intentions were well stated in his speeches during the 2008 presidential campaign. Just before the election he made this declaration: "We are just five days away from fundamentally changing America forever!" In his speeches, he would also declare that "America is the greatest nation ever known," or various words to that effect, then invite listeners to join him in his goal to "fundamentally change it" (i.e. "destroy it").
 
America's economic well-being has become a dismal picture of continual high unemployment, massive government deficits, and increasing social disunity and unrest.
 
Liberal spokespersons try to convince us that things are going great, even much better than they were under President George W. Bush. But those who know and see the facts on the ground, out in the real world of "bricks and mortar," realize this president is a fraud, full of deception , in violation of his oath of office, and they are wondering why nothing is being done about it-if we, indeed, are a "nation of laws."
 
Consequently, the American dollar, as the world currency, is in jeopardy, and the whole world is floundering in gigantic debts to controlling central banks and centralized banking cartels that can manipulate the economy practically with the touch of a button. Is it not strange, or have you noticed, how many high level bankers have been jumping to their deaths or otherwise ending their lives in apparent desperation of some sort? It is reminiscent of the economic difficulties of the 1930s.
 
A member of the Rothschild family, about 1820, is said to have stated, "Give me control of a nation's money supply and I will not care what its laws are." Of course, the Rothschild banking dynasty had been developing long before that time, from the serfdoms of Europe of old, and many decades would come and go before that great bastion of freedom from economic slavery, the United States of America, would be secretly conquered by an evil conspiracy of high level financial interests who met in utmost secrecy at a place called Jekyll Island off the Georgia coast at the end of November, 1910. There, plans were laid to bring the United States under bondage to a central bank owned not by the government but by domestic and foreign parties intent on world domination. In order to get it passed through the Congress, it was named the Federal Reserve System and was passed into law in 1913. Government officials who are complicit with this conspiracy will claim that it surely is an agency of the U.S. government.
 
Many avoid a direct answer to the question, but I have heard an IRS Commissioner openly claim that it is, indeed, a valid agency of the government. In fact, however, it is neither Federal nor is it a Reserve. Paper currency is printed by the government printing office, sold to the Federal Reserve for ten cents on the dollar, then loaned back to the U.S. government at face value. Minted coins, however, are transferred at face value.
 
Did you noticed that nothing of real value is involved in the currency exchanges? The "money" is created out of thin air, declared to be "legal tender for all debts, public and private." By setting interest rates on the loans made, the Federal Reserve can manipulate the available money supply and thereby increase or decrease the economic activity of the nation. It has been reported that in the early 1930s, member banks were ordered to call in their loans to businesses and farmers and take possession of properties that secured the loans, thus creating, in part at least, the Great Depression of the 1930s.
 
It should not be surprising if "following the money trail" might lead to the unanswered questions in accounts of the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Lincoln issued government-backed "greenback dollars" and Kennedy issued silver certificates by executive order. Neither of the issues were under the auspices of the banking systems then in place. As others have observed, the Golden Rule has been modified to read, "He who has the gold, rules." (All personally-held gold was confiscated in 1935, and I saw a news article recently that the finders of a cache of gold coins were to turn it over to the Treasury for no more than $35 per ounce in value-same as it was in 1935.)
 
With $17 Trillion of accumulated national debt on the books, and more readily planned, it is not difficult to see that America will soon go the way of Greece, Spain, Italy and other European countries who are struggling with more debt than their economies can handle-and all owed to central bankers, directly or indirectly, whose goal is a one world economy and a cashless society where exchanges are made electronically and immediately. News headlines are constantly warning of an impending economic collapse, worldwide. (Continued in Part Two).

The Road to World War 3: Russia and Ukraine Are Now engaged in a Shooting War

The Road to World War 3: Russia and Ukraine Are Now engaged in a Shooting War - By Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-road-to-world-war-3-russia-and-ukraine-are-now-engaged-in-a-shooting-war 

 
Russian soldiers and Ukrainian soldiers are now shooting at each other in eastern Ukraine.  Could this conflict ultimately lead us down the road to World War 3?  This week, a very robust force of "tanks, artillery and infantry" has opened up a "third front" in the Ukrainian civil war in a part of southeastern Ukraine that had not seen much fighting yet.  Exhausted Ukrainian forces are suddenly being pushed back rapidly and many outsiders are wondering how the nearly defeated rebels were able to muster such impressive military strength all of a sudden.  But it really isn't much of a mystery.  The tanks, artillery and infantry came from inside Russia.  In recent days, Ukrainian units have captured ten Russian paratroopers and there have even been funerals for Russian paratroopers that have been killed in action back home in Russia.  Even though it has become exceedingly obvious that Russia is now conducting a stealth invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is still choosing to deny it.  But if he did publicly admit it, that would be even more dangerous.  Barack Obama would be forced into a position of either having to do something about the Russian invasion or look weak in the eyes of the public.  And as the Russians have already shown, they are more than willing to match any move that the Obama administration makes.
 
There has already been much written about who is to blame for all of this, and I am sure that much more will be written about who is to blame in the future.  The western world is blaming "Russian aggression" for the mess in Ukraine.    In return, the Russians point out that it was westerners that funded and organized the groups that violently overthrew the democratically-elected government of Ukraine.  To the Russians, the current government of Ukraine is made up of neo-Nazi terrorist usurpers that are attempting to brutally oppress millions of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine.
 
So the Russians seem themselves as "the good guys" in this conflict and so does the western world.  But that is how most wars start.  Both sides usually feel morally justified at the start of a conflict.
 
In the final analysis, however, is it really going to matter very much who was "right" and who was "wrong" if the end result is World War 3?
 
If the rebels in eastern Ukraine had been able to defeat the Kiev government forces on their own, Putin probably would have been content to let them do that.  But instead, they had been pushed back to two major cities and seemed on the verge of defeat.
 
But now it is the Ukrainian forces that are experiencing "panic and wholesale retreat"...
 
Tanks, artillery and infantry have crossed from Russia into an unbreached part of eastern Ukraine in recent days, attacking Ukrainian forces and causing panic and wholesale retreat not only in this small border town but a wide swath of territory, in what Ukrainian and Western military officials are calling a stealth invasion.
 
The attacks outside this city and in an area to the north essentially have opened a new, third front in the war in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists, along with the fighting outside the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.
 
How is this happening?
 
It is the Russians of course.
 
In fact, if you talk to Ukrainian soldiers, they are very clear on who they are fighting now...
 
"I tell you they are Russians, but this is what proof I have," said Sgt. Aleksei Panko, holding up his thumb and index finger to form a zero. Sergeant Panko estimated about 60 armored vehicles crossed near Novoazovsk. "This is what happened: they crossed the border, took up positions and started shooting."
 
The Ukrainian Vinnytsia brigade met the cross-border advance over the six miles of countryside separating Novoazovsk from the Russian border, but later retreated to the western edge of town along the Rostov-Mariupol highway, where soldiers were collapsed in exhaustion on the roadside. "This is now a war with Russia," Sergeant Panko said.
 
And as I mentioned above, Ukrainian forces have even captured ten Russian paratroopers.  Rather than denying who they are, the Russian government is claiming that they wandered into Ukraine by mistake...
 
Ten Russian soldiers were detained in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, that country's Security Service said Tuesday, as tensions simmered over the conflict between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels.
 
The Russian soldiers were captured with documents and weapons on them, the Security Service said.
 
Moscow has repeatedly denied claims by Kiev that it has sent troops and weapons over the border into Ukraine, where the Ukrainian military is fighting pro-Russian rebels.
 
Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency cited a source in the Russian Defense Ministry as saying the soldiers had been patrolling the border and "most likely crossed by accident" at an unmarked point.
 
The denials that Russian forces are actively operating inside eastern Ukraine have become so absurd that even some in the Russian press are openly questioning them.  For example, just check out this excerpt from a USA Today article that was posted on Wednesday...
 
Vedomosti, a liberal business daily, published an editorial Wednesday on events in Ukraine under the headline, "Are We Fighting?"
 
It noted the recent capture of the Russian soldiers on Ukrainian territory and reports of "mysterious funerals" of Russian soldiers, some of whom are officially counted dying during training exercises.
 
"The number of questions that hang in the air of the dead and detained Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine has reached a critical number. Does Russia fight in Ukraine and, if so, on what grounds? If not, then who is in those freshly dug graves or giving testimony at SBU (Russian Security service) interrogations?"
 
A Bloomberg editorial contained some more details about the "mystery funerals" that have been taking place inside Russia...
 
One such burial, of two soldiers, took place in the village of Vybuty near Pskov in northwestern Russia, where an airborne division is based. Efforts to conceal the deaths produced a fiasco. Though the wife of one paratrooper had reported his death on the Vkontakte social network, when a reporter, Ilya Vasyunin of the Russian Planet website, called the wife's phone number, a woman who answered stated that the paratrooper was alive and well. Two reporters, from Russian Planet and TV Dozhd, who visited the cemetery where the two fresh graves had been seen were immediately attacked by men in black tracksuits. Local journalists, however, succeeded in photographing the graves. According to the independent TV Dozhd, the soldiers' names and wreaths have been removed from the graves.
 
There are other reports of paratrooper funerals, which are hard to conceal. Soldiers have grieving families who do not necessarily share the authorities' desire for deception. In any case, Ukrainian troops have captured some Russian paratroopers. For the first time since the conflict began in March, they were able to record interviews with them.
 
Sadly, most Americans are not paying much attention to this conflict.
 
Most Americans are not really going to care much about a war on the other side of the planet that does not directly involve us.
 
But they should care.
 
Because things are about to escalate to a level that we rarely saw even during the darkest moments of the Cold War.  Relations between the United States and Russia are spiraling downhill, and that could end up having a huge impact on all of our lives.
 
For example, in my previous article entitled "Russia Is Doing It - Russia Is Actually Abandoning The Dollar", I discussed how this tug of war over Ukraine was causing Russia to think about moving away from the petrodollar.  Well, it turns out that now the Russians are actually taking concrete steps toward abandoning the petrodollar for good...
 
The Russian oil company Gazprom Neft has agreed to export 80,000 tons of oil from Novoportovskoye field in the Arctic; it will accept payment in rubles, and will also deliver oil via the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline (ESPO), accepting payment in Chinese yuan for the transfers, the Russian business daily Kommersant reported Wednesday.
 
The Russian government and several of the country's largest exporters have widely discussed the possibility of accepting payments in rubles for oil exports.
 
Last week, Russia began to ship oil from the Novoportovskoye field to Europe by sea. Two oil tankers are expected to arrive in Europe in September. According to Kommersant, the payment for these shipments will be received in rubles.
 
That is huge news, but you probably haven't heard a thing about it on the big mainstream news networks.
 
Meanwhile, one thing that you probably have heard about is how "Russian hackers" attacked JPMorgan Chase earlier this month...
 
Russian hackers attacked the U.S. financial system in mid-August, infiltrating and stealing data from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and at least one other bank, an incident the FBI is investigating as a possible retaliation for government-sponsored sanctions, according to two people familiar with the probe.
 
The attack resulted in the loss of gigabytes of sensitive data, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the probe is still preliminary. Authorities are investigating whether recent infiltrations of major European banks using a similar vulnerability are also linked to the attack, one of the people said.
 
As relations between the United States and Russia continue to decline precipitously, both sides will be looking for ways to hurt one another.
 
And that won't be good for any of us.
 
So let us hope that cooler heads prevail.
 
But ultimately, this current conflict could end up taking us to a destination that the Cold War never did.
 
World War 3 will probably not happen next week, next month or even next year, but right now we are on a road which could eventually lead to the unthinkable.
 
Let us pray that our politicians are able to find the exit ramp at some point.

Order Out of Chaos -

Order Out of Chaos - By Donna Wasson - http://www.raptureready.com/soap2/wasson139.html 
 
 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
 
2 Timothy 3:1 "This know also, that in the last days, perilous times shall come."
 
So. Are we having fun yet? After all, that magical time of year is almost upon us. Aw, come on, you know what I mean...we're coming up on the anniversary of 9/11! How could you forget? I guarantee you the New World Order goons and Islamic freaks haven't forgotten. They're all atwitter with glee, and sharpening their knives as I type! So, what might they have in store for us this year?
 
 Let me tell you about Dr. Jim Garrow. He spent 45 years as a covert CIA operative in China, and was a 2009 Nobel Peace Prize nominee. He's responsible for exposing the military wide litmus test instituted by the Obama administration in which officers were asked if they would follow orders to disarm the American people, and fire on those who resisted. Those officers who refused to agree were purged from the military. This purge was so pervasive, it was covered in the mainstream media.
 
 Naturally, Dr. Garrow maintains contacts within all branches of the military as well as the United States intelligence community, so when he chooses to disclose information, you can pretty much take it to the bank. 
 
 In the last couple of weeks, he's been interviewed on several blog talk radio shows, as well as various alternative media sources, speaking about a planned attack upon multiple shopping malls inside America. He's been told by several of his contacts that this attack will be modeled after the assault on the Western-style mall in Nairobi, Kenya back in September 2013.
 
 If you remember, islamic militants seized control of that mall for two weeks, and killed over 150 people. They asked the hostages questions about islam or the koran and if they were able to answer correctly, they were allowed to leave. Those who couldn't give the right answer were killed, and some were first tortured when it was discovered they were Christians.
 
 He states that ISIS already has sleeper cells set up all over the country, and we're welcoming more with open arms as they stream across our unguarded borders. The plan, which is already in place, is to invade over 100 malls across the country simultaneously, using machine guns and grenades. The militants will also be wearing explosives and will set bombs in predetermined places within the malls, ready to kill first responders.
 
 Just like Nairobi, they'll have every entrance manned, with militants in the parking lots, ready to shoot anyone who might escape. In fact, Dr. Garrow states that the incident in Nairobi was the beta test for the attack here in America. A practice run, if you will.
 
 The end game, of course is martial law. As the Occupant's pet, Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emmanuel famously said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste." When might this horrible event occur? Dr. Garrow and his sources don't know, but they are surmising that 9/11 is an attractive target date. Another possibility would be Black Friday, when the malls are loaded with holiday shoppers but in reality, any old date will do.
 
 You can direct your gratitude to the Occupant for this serious threat. According to Border Patrol agents who have spoken to Dr. Garrow, there's a "flood of jihadists" coming across our open, defenseless border as I type. They've been flying from the Middle East into South America and Mexico, where they know all they have to do is walk into our country and join their comrades. By the way, that would be 1500 miles of unguarded, golden opportunity. Can you say "treason?"
 
 Naturally, if/when this event occurs, all hell will break loose and I'm betting the Usurper-In-Chief will take full advantage of the carnage by realizing his most cherished dream of declaring martial law nationwide which, once instituted, may never be rescinded. This horror is very likely to occur unless the Lord God intervenes, but with all the debauchery and base, guttural, perverted, pervasive, metastatic level of sin in America...I'm guessing He won't bother. And yes, according to Dr. Garrow's sources, the Occupant knows of this plan; he even knows which malls are targeted. 
 
 It's a well-known fact that the CIA created, and has consistently funded Al Qaida to fight the Russians during the Iran/Iraq war. In fact, our military trained Al Qaida, A/K/A "Syrian Freedom Fighters," in covert Jordanian camps with the intention of sending them into Syria after Assad. Those sneaky little devils went into Syria alright, but set up shop instead and morphed into ISIS, knowing that America wouldn't dare come after them because Russia and China threatened to retaliate if we attacked Assad. 
 
 This administration has funneled untold billions of our hard-earned tax payer dollars to fund these savages, who are now on the warpath, slaughtering our brothers and sisters in Christ. Did you catch that? WE are funding the horrible torture, rape, robbery and deaths of our own spiritual family members! And yes, we're STILL sending them money.
 
 Now that the demon possessed hordes of ISIS are out of control and on the move, the Occupant suddenly wants to cozy up to Assad and join forces to destroy them? If I were Assad, I wouldn't trust the Narcissist-in-Chief as far as I could smack him with a 9 iron!
 
 Now, the story has flipped again, and the Occupant is eyeing airstrikes on ISIS targets inside Syria and the drones are already in the sky, flying reconnaissance missions. If you remember, little Barry has desperately grasped for any and every reason to invade Syria for the last few years. Now, he's come up with a reason he can sell to the American people. We have to go get ISIS where their home base is. Yeah, that's the ticket!
 
 Contrary to the stark common sense you won't hear from the mainstream media, it seems obvious to me that Obama is facilitating ISIS coming into our country to create major chaos. Remember-he's one of them. This is one reason for his absurd, suicide-like policy of keeping the borders open. You can't listen to what he says; you must pay attention to what he does!
 
 In my most humble opinion, this is part of the destabilization plan for America as described on the back of the dollar bill: "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which means 'order out of chaos.' For the New World Order to come to fruition, America has to fall. The Globalist elite must destroy this freedom loving Republic, with her millions of armed, Constitution-loving citizens. Nope, they can't have that! They want compliant little slaves, cowering and grateful for every scrap of food they give us.
 
 The elite are doing everything they can to foment chaos. Another example is the blown-out-of-all-reasonable-proportion situation in Ferguson, Missouri with the unfortunate shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man, by Officer Darren Wilson, a white man. All the facts of this incident have yet to be released, yet the professional race-baiters, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are calling for the arrest of Officer Wilson in the name of 'justice.'
 
The boy's blood wasn't washed off the street before those two made a bee-line down to that small town to stir up their particular brand of racial hatred! Here's what we know for sure about this situation.
 
 FACT: Michael Brown robbed a liquor store of $50.00 worth of Swisher Sweet's Cigars just minutes before being confronted by Officer Wilson. 
 
 FACT: Michael Brown was 6'4" and approximately 300 pounds of brute strength and wasn't shy about using his size to intimidate others, as shown in the surveillance footage from the store.
 
 FACT: Officer Wilson saw Michael Brown and his friend walking down the middle of the street, rolled down the window of his squad car, and told them to get on the sidewalk so they wouldn't interfere with traffic flow.
 
 FACT: Michael Brown pushed Officer Wilson back into his squad car and proceeded to punch him in the face. They struggled for the officer's gun and a shot was fired inside the car. Michael Brown then continued to beat the officer nearly unconscious before walking away.
 
 FACT: Officer Wilson suffered facial fractures from that beating.
 
 FACT: Several eye-witnesses testify that Michael Brown turned to face Officer Wilson when the officer shouted for him to freeze. He then began to taunt the officer and suddenly rushed toward him. That's when the officer opened fire. 
 
 FACT: Michael Brown was an aspiring rap artist, whose lyrics included gross obscenity, violence against women, bragged about drug use and threatened violence against cops. 
 
 Opinion: Although a tragic situation, Michael Brown was a drug using, thieving, gangsta-wanna-be thug. Was this shooting justified? We simply don't have all the information yet to make a FAIR determination. If the officer feared for his safety, then it appears it was justified. If the officer was not in danger and acting like a bully, then he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
 
 Problem is, the media and this ghastly presidential administration have already decided for us. Were you aware that a combination of people from the Department of Justice, along with white communist agitators  bussed in from Chicago, as well as members of the super-racist New Black Panther Party, descended on Ferguson and hijacked what were largely peaceful protests by the citizens of the town? 
 
 These agitators, goaded on by race whores Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, are the ones who looted stores, burned down a Quik-Trip gas station, threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at police in an effort to cause an increasingly violent crackdown by over-militarized police. They were the troublemakers-not the residents of Ferguson!
 
 According to the News Commenter, "Their reported goal is to make the protests go super-violent, spread across the region and spark a revolution. Many have questioned whether some of the violence seen in recent days is the work of provocateurs being allowed to run riot by the authorities in order to justify the militarized crackdown after reports that police were ordered to "stand down" during the looting on Friday night."
 
 In other words, these agitators are trying their dead level best to start a race war. The wuss Governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon, decided to serve as investigator, jury and judge, and called for the arrest of Officer Wilson. He also sent in National Guard troops to quell the unrest. And this was before Attorney General, Eric Holder graced the residents with his glorious presence.
 
 Michael Brown was laid to rest today and according to Fox News, thousands attended his funeral; the usual race baiters were there, along with town folk, some celebrities and...members of the Obama administration. Hmm. You'll find this next story interesting.
 
 On August 11th, in Salt Lake City, UT, a black police officer shot 20-year-old Dillon Taylor to death outside a 7-Eleven convenience store. Taylor was white and unarmed. Apparently, someone had called the cops and reported that a person in the vicinity had a gun. The officer arrived to see Taylor and his cousin exit the store. Taylor was listening to music through his earbuds, had no idea what was going on, and did not hear the officer's command to get on the ground.
 
 As he innocently reached down to pull up his pants, seemingly ignoring the officer's commands, the officer, thinking he was reaching for a weapon, opened fire, killing him. Funny, I don't remember hearing about this shooting in the news! I don't remember seeing protests or rioting or looting or Eric Holder making a visit. I highly doubt anyone from the Occupant's administration attended Taylor's funeral. That's because the victim was white. You can't get a race war started with a white victim.
 
 So, what is going to happen when the Grand Jury of Ferguson hears all the evidence in the Michael Brown case and decides not to indict Officer Darren Wilson? The black community of Ferguson-those who actually live in that town, seem to genuinely want justice for Michael. They want to make sure there was no police brutality or racism involved in his shooting, and I don't blame them!
 
 However, will they accept the grand jury's decision or will they acquiesce to the race baiters who are in their midst, provoking police, hoping to cause riots to break out all over this country? I'm sure the Occupant would be happy with any excuse to institute martial law, whether it be due to race wars or simultaneous mall attacks by islamic freaks. Heck, any old excuse would suit that jackass just fine. 
 
 I don't know what will happen. I pray for peace across this land, but as the Usurper's plans to take down this country proceed, I won't be holding my breath. All I know is this: you couldn't pay me enough to be in the Mall of America on September 11th. We should not live in fear but we also shouldn't live in denial of the dangers we face in these last days. Ya'll be careful out there. 
 
 FYI: I choose to show my utter contempt for the scourge that is islam by refusing to capitalize all words associated with it.
