Malaysia gov't to fight court verdict on Allah ban



Posted : Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:57:56 GMT


Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia's High Court on Thursday handed down a landmark ruling by overturning a government ban on the use of the word Allah, or God in Arabic, in a weekly Catholic paper. The High Court in the capital Kuala Lumpur ruled that the word Allah was not exclusive to Islam, and that an existing ban by the Home Ministry was illegal and void.

The court ruled that the Herald newspaper was now permitted to use Allah to refer to God in its Malay-language articles.

Thursday's court decision put to rest a year-long legal battle between the Catholic church and the mainly Muslim government, which ruled that the word Allah was prohibited in any non-Islamic publications in order to avoid "confusion" among Muslims.

The government's ban on the use of the word in the Herald, the country's main Roman Catholic newsletter, prompted minority religious groups to argue that the Arabic word is a common term for God that predates Islam and has been used for centuries as a translation in Malay.

Malaysia's constitution declares it a secular state but with Islam as its official religion. About 60 per cent of Malaysia's 25 million people are Muslims.

Malaysia gov't to fight court verdict on Allah ban

The Oklahoman

Published: January 2, 2010


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's government has pledged to challenge a court ruling that Christians have the constitutional right to use the word Allah to refer to God.

The High Court's verdict has sparked small, peaceful protests by Muslim groups since being handed down Thursday, raising fears of friction between the ethnic Malay Muslim majority and the large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities, who mainly practice Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.

The Prime Minister's Department will file an appeal against the verdict, Jamil Khir Baharom, a Cabinet minister responsible for Islamic affairs, said in a statement late Saturday.

The statement called for Muslims to respect the court decision and for all parties to be patient and allow the dispute to be resolved through the legal process.

The High Court's decision struck down a government ban on non-Muslims translating God as Allah in their literature. Minorities welcomed it as a blow against what many consider to be institutionalized religious discrimination.

The verdict has divided Muslim commentators. Some agree with the government's insistence that Allah is an Islamic word that should be used exclusively by Muslims, and that its use by other religions would be misleading. However, other Malaysian Muslim scholars say non-Muslims should be free to use Allah.

Efforts by Christians to use Allah in Malay-language literature have been perceived by some Muslims "as a plot to convert Malay Muslims to Christianity," Anas Zubedy, a popular Muslim blogger on social and political issues, wrote after the court verdict, adding his support of the ruling.

Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said Saturday the government should set strict conditions for the use of the word Allah to ensure the court verdict does not trigger religious tensions, the national news agency Bernama reported.

"What I am afraid of is that the term 'Allah' might be used in such a way that could inflame the anger of Muslims, if (non-Muslims) were to use it on banners or write something that might not reflect Islam," Mahathir was quoted as saying.

Minorities often claim their constitutional right to practice religion freely has come under threat from the Malay Muslim-dominated government. The government denies any discrimination, but authorities recently confiscated 10,000 copies of Malay-language Bibles because they contained the word Allah.

Brickell restaurant throws a party to help St. Jude Children's Hospital


Posted on Thursday, 12.24.09

BRICKELL


A TRENDY BRICKELL RESTAURANT KNOWN FOR ITS LATE-NIGHT PARTIES HOSTED A FUN-FILLED FAMILY EVENT TO BENEFIT THE ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL AND PROVIDE A LESSON ON THE SPIRIT OF GIVING


BY MICAELA HOOD
mhood@MiamiHerald.com


As a magician waved his magic wand and a DJ spun some of today's hottest holiday music, a funky-looking Santa Claus entertained children -- of all ages.

In typical fashion, St. Nick donned his usual red and white suit. But he also sported a hot pair of shades and a stylish diamond walking cane.

Santa, who also moonlights as a restaurant manager, was among the entertainers at a benefit and toy drive for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital held Dec. 12 at Segafredo Brickell, 1421 S. Miami Ave., in downtown Miami.

The event, which drew a crowd of about 200, featured live music, games and a choir performance by singers from the Miami Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Although the popular restaurant and lounge is known for its late-night parties, co-owner Alejandro Ferllen said the ``Kids for Kids: A Season of Miracles'' fundraiser was meant for families and those looking to spread some holiday cheer.

``The holidays are the perfect time to give back and we wanted to do something special for the children,'' Ferllen said. ``I think we need to educate the kids from the beginning to help others. . . . It's important they learn to appreciate that from a younger age.''

Sponsors for the event -- which raised about $20,000 and included a silent auction -- were Saks Fifth Avenue, Romero Britto, Milan Kitchens, Miami Beach Cinemateque, The Patton Group, Venue Magazine, Good Times Party Rentals, The SER Institute, Grace All Occasions and Floral Palace.

Eight-year-old Cecelia Flortina brought a toy truck and car to the event.

``I don't have a brother so I thought I would bring something nice to make another boy happy,'' she said.

As face painters adorned little girls with heart and flowers, most of the boys chose to feast on free candy and popcorn.

Taylor Ramos, 14, said he was happy to see so many people donate toys.

``Now I feel like I'm in the holiday spirit,'' he said. ``If we did something like this everyday, think of what a different it would make for the kids.''

As the sun faded and city lights from nearby high-rises lit the sky, partygoers gathered together for the traditional Segafredo Christmas tree lighting. ``I have a lot to be thankful for,'' Cecelia said. ``and that's why I wanted to give back today.''

The “Pulpit Initiative” and other Dominionist Machinations

Written by Mel Seesholtz
Wednesday, 06 August 2008 16:51



by Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D.
The legal minions of Christian Dominionism have been busy for some time finding ways pastors can use the pulpit for political purposes. The Alliance Defense Fund, a group of lawyers dedicated to realizing the dominionist goal of marrying church and state, has taken another step in that direction:
.
The Pulpit Initiative Reclaiming pastors’ constitutional right to speak Truth from the pulpit
.
On Sunday, September 28, 2008, we are seeking pastors who will preach from the pulpit a sermon that addresses the candidates for government office in light of the truth of Scripture. The sermon is intended to challenge the Internal Revenue Code’s restrictions by specifically opposing candidates for office that do not align themselves and their positions with the Scriptural truth. By standing together and speaking with one voice, it is our hope to recapture the rightful place of pastors and churches in American life. [italics added]
.
Do those “Scriptural truths” include the passages in Leviticus and Deuteronomy that sanction selling one’s daughter into slavery, stoning to death non-virgin brides, people who work on the Sabbath, and those who wear clothes made of two different threads? How about Paul’s scriptural edict in First Timothy: “suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence”?
.
No doubt the ADF’s pocketed pastors will cite Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26–27 as proof positive of their bible-based socio-political position. They will, of course, forget to tell the flock that Romans was penned by the same St. Paul who had those “enlightened” thoughts about women’s divinely ordained place in the scheme of things.
.
“Scriptural truths” one and all, are they not? Or does one get to pick and choose which biblical passages are true and which aren’t? If so, what are the criteria for such judgments?
On July 11, 2008, the propaganda organ of Don Wildmon’s American Family Association ran an article titled “Wildmon: Prop. 8 vote crucial in culture battle”:
.
The Arlington Group, a coalition of about 60 pro-family groups and ministries, will stress the importance of the November 4 vote in California on Proposition 8, a proposed constitutional amendment that would protect traditional marriage. To do that, pastors will be encouraged to use one Sunday in September to focus on the sanctity of marriage. Churches also will be encouraged to take up a special offering which will go toward the fight for marriage in California.
[italics added]
.
The article reeks with the desecration of language at which dominionists are so adept. Chris Hedges discussed “logocide” in his 2006 book American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America:
.
Dominionists and their wealthy, right-wing sponsors speak in terms and phrases that are familiar and comforting to most Americans, but they no longer use words to mean what they meant in the past. They engage in a slow process of “logocide,” the killing of words. The old definition of words are replaced by new ones. Code words of the old belief system are deconstructed and assigned diametrically opposed meanings.
.
“Protect traditional marriage.” What does “protect” mean? If gay and lesbian couples marry, will heterosexual couples stop? If that were the case, then prohibiting same-sex marriage would “protect” heterosexual marriage. But that is not the case. Heterosexual couples still marry in Massachusetts and California. In fact, heterosexual marriage in those states has been totally unaffected by marriage equality. So one has to conclude that by “protect” dominionists mean reserve a civil right to a civil institution for some people and deny it to others: the definition of discrimination.
.
“Traditional marriage.” In biblical times a “traditional marriage” was arranged, and often involved more than one “wife” and several concubines. David’s eight wives, except for Mikal, are listed in 1 Chronicles 3:1-5, and his ten concubines are referred to in 2 Samuel 15:16. Thanks to those good old biblical times, for most of the next two millennia “wives” were deemed little more than the property of their husbands. Are those the biblical “traditions” dominionists want to preserve and protect?
.
The “sanctity of marriage.” What does “sanctity” mean, and to whom? In September 2004 – during the height of dominionists’ pre-election campaign to “save traditional marriage” – the Barna Group, a Christian marketing-research organization, issued a report titled “Born Again Christians Just As Likely to Divorce As Are Non-Christians.” It documented that “among married born again Christians, 35% have experienced a divorce. That figure is identical to the outcome among married adults who are not born again: 35%.” Barna also documented that “nearly one-quarter of the married ‘born agains’ (23%) get divorced two or more times.” The struggle of gay and lesbians Americans to secure the right to a legal, civil marriage clearly demonstrates their belief in the “sanctity” of the institution as well as their respect for it. Can the same be said for those twice-divorced born-againers, many if not most of whom support the dominionist campaign to “protect” the “sanctity” of marriage.
.
A “special offering.” Not only do the members of the Arlington Group want the pulpit politicized, they want the worship service turned into a fund-raising event for a political cause: a clear expression of the dominionist goal of marrying church and state, with the state as the “traditional” subservient wife who adheres to St. Paul’s edict in First Timothy.
.
The “fight for marriage”? It is the gay and lesbian couples who are fighting “for marriage.” Dominionists, on the other hand, are fighting against marriage and to weaken the institution by excluding people who want to support it. The gay and lesbian couples seeking the right to marry are also fighting for the institution by expressing their faith in it. Dominionists, on the other hand, are using it as a political toy and, thereby, demeaning and trivializing it.
.
In keeping with dominionist logocide, Wildmon went on in the One News Now article to claim that the institutions of marriage and the family as well as society itself would collapse if civil equality won the day in California on November 4. In that, he echoed James Dobson – another self-appointed spokesman for God – who, in his 2004 book Marriage Under Fire stated that if gay and lesbian Americans were allowed to marriage, the world would end “as it was in the days of Noah.”
.
There’s good reason the two men share the same rhetoric. They’re both members of the Arlington Group, an organization dedicated to Christian dominionism. People for the American Way offers some insights:
.
The Arlington Group (AG) is the newest coalition of the leaders of Religious Right groups brought together by right-wing strategist Paul Weyrich and Don Wildmon, head of the American Family Association, to coordinate activities. The group is widely credited with being the driving force behind the effort to put marriage protection amendments on the ballot in 11 states in the 2004 election. …
.
Membership: Members include the heads of 75 (as of September 2006) Religious Right groups such as Paul Weyrich, Don Wildmon, James Dobson, and Gary Bauer. …
.
The Arlington Group describes itself as a “powerful coalition of leaders from the pro-family community, [that] develops and executes national and grassroots strategies to: protect the traditional institution of marriage, increase respect for every human life, limit judicial activism, and act on other moral issues of concern.” …
.
In 2005, the Group threatened to withhold support for the President’s proposed Social Security reforms if Bush did not actively work to pass a federal marriage amendment banning same-sex marriage. … [links added]
.
Theocracy Watch – “a partner project of the
CRESP Center for Transformative Action at Cornell University” – has much more to say, especially about Paul Weyrich. In 1977, Weyrich co-founded Christian Voice. Two years later founded – with Jerry Falwell – the Moral Majority. Weyrich coined the phrase “Moral Majority” which was neither “moral” or a “majority.”
.
Among Weyrich’s other organizations is the Free Congress Foundation. According to Theocracy Watch (and the Anti-Defamation League), Weyrich and his FCF advocate the dominionist agenda. That agenda can be summed up in a few words: Biblical edicts the dominionists decide are literal and valid combined with their concocted version of Christian dogma should have supremacy – dominion – over all secular laws, including the United States Constitution. From Chris Hedges’ American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America:
.
Dominionism is a theocratic sect with its roots in a radical Calvinism. … It teaches that American Christians have been mandated by God to make America a Christian state. … America bcomes, in this militant Biblicism, an agent of God, and all political and intellectual opponents of America’s Christian leaders are viewed, quite simply, as agents of Satan.
.
Under Christian dominionism, America will no longer be a sinful and fallen nation but one in which the 10 Commandments form the basis of our legal system, and the media and the government proclaim the Good News to one and all. Labor unions, civil-rights laws and public schools will be abolished. Women will be removed from the workforce to stay at home, and all those deemed insufficiently Christian will be denied citizenship. …
.
The death penalty is to be imposed not only for offenses such as rape, kidnapping and murder, but also for adultery, blasphemy, homosexuality, astrology, incest, striking a parent, incorrigible juvenile delinquency, and, in the case of women, “unchastity before marriage.” …
.
The moral calculus no longer revolves around the concept of universal human rights, now its center is the well-being, protection and promotion of “Bible believing Christians.” For dominionists, all other religions and any political view other than theirs are Satanic. Weyrich made that clear when he launched a “Christian boycott” of the military because Wicca was recognized as a legitimate religion. From Weyrich’s “‘Satanic’ Army Unworthy of Representing United States,” Free Congress Foundation press release, June 9, 1999:
.
Until the Army withdraws all official support and approval from witchcraft, no Christian should enlist or re-enlist in the Army, and Christian parents should not allow their children to join the Army…
.
An Army that sponsors satanic rituals is unworthy of representing the United States of America … The official approval of satanism and witchcraft by the Army is a direct assault on the Christian faith that generations of American soldiers have fought and died for...
.
If the Army wants witches and satanists in its ranks, then it can do it without Christians in those ranks. It’s time for the Christians in this country to put a stop to this kind of nonsense. A Christian recruiting strike will compel the Army to think seriously about what it is doing.
.
Obviously Mr. Weyrich has no idea what Wicca is or what it isn’t, nor does he understand what “freedom of religion” means. Does he really believe the Army “sponsors satanic rituals”? Weyrich’s assertions are grotesque exaggerations and flamingly flatulent: characteristics the rhetoric of Christian dominionists share. That could be because it’s commonly scripted behind closed doors?
.
Weyrich, Wildmon and Dobson are members of the Council for National Policy: the star-chamber in which Christian dominionists and their wealthy right-wing sponsors plot and plan how to take over of the United States and make it their own theofascist domain.
.
Never heard of the Council for National Policy? That’s not surprising. It’s a highly secretive organization. Subversive organizations usually are. Members never talk about what goes on behind closed doors. Some of what is known is available here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here. Do the words “shadow government” come to mind?
.
The CNP uses secrecy. Dominionists use fear. Their rhetoric is filled with ominous predictions of impending doom and divinely ordained punishments if the movement’s ideas are not blindly accepted and acted upon. The “enemies of God” are identified and demonized – gay and lesbian Americans head that list – and the faithful are called upon to engage in a holy war to save “Christian America.” As Wildmon wailed, “‘If we lose California, if they defeat the marriage amendment, I’m afraid that the culture war is over and Christians have lost … If the homosexuals are able to defeat the marriage amendment … then the culture war is over and we’ve lost – and gradually, secularism will replace Christianity as the foundation of our society.
.
”Wildom and the rest of the dominionist leaders see only black and white. It’s either their way, or utter doom. They prey on people’s fears and exploit their weaknesses. They claim they and they alone know “God’s” will and what’s right and wrong for everyone, and offer simplistic, bumper-sticker answers to complex questions. They play the victim while relentlessly victimizing others. They are the worst humanity, religion and politics have to offer. As Chris Hedges noted, “radical Christian dominionists have no religious legitimacy. They are manipulating Christianity, and millions of sincere believers, to build a frightening political mass movement with many similarities with other mass movements, from fascism … to the ethnic nationalist parties in the former Yugoslavia.”
.

The Alliance Defense Fund’s “Pulpit initiative” – which implies only their pastors can speak “Truth” – and the Arlington Group’s blatant call to use their pastors’ pulpits and collection plates for political purposes attest to the dominionist agenda. They also suggest… desperation.
.
Most of the leaders of Christian dominionism are … old and out of touch. Reading their propaganda one would think America’s youth are embracing evangelical doctrine, fundamentalist ideology and dominionist ideas. They’re not. In fact, America’s youth is moving in exactly the opposite direction and have been for some time. An October 2006 New York Times article reported the exodus:
.
Evangelicals Fear the Loss of Their Teenagers Despite their packed megachurches, their political clout and their increasing visibility on the national stage, evangelical Christian leaders are warning one another that their teenagers are abandoning the faith in droves. …
.
Their alarm has been stoked by a highly suspect claim that if current trends continue, only 4 percent of teenagers will be “Bible-believing Christians” as adults. That would be a sharp decline compared with 35 percent of the current generation of baby boomers, and before that, 65 percent of the World War II generation. …
.
The board of the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella group representing 60 denominations and dozens of ministries, passed a resolution this year deploring “the epidemic of young people leaving the evangelical church.”
.
So what did the evangelical and dominionist elders blame for teens’ mass exodus?
Certainly not themselves or their message of intolerance, hate and bigotry:
.
I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don’t want equal time. We don’t want pluralism.
Randall Terry
.
Certainly not their hysterical preaching that everyone who disagrees with their extremist agenda is innately evil and the cause of all the world’s evils: The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians. – Pat Robertson Certainly not the preposterous anti-knowledge, pro-ignorance claims made by prominent leaders of the dominionist movement:
.
The Bible is the inerrant...word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc. [italics added]
– Jerry Falwell
.
Nope. They blamed popular culture and, of course, played victim once again citing “a pervasive culture of cynicism about religion.”
.
Cynicism? One of the keynote speakers at the gathering reported on by the Times was the then president of the National Association of Evangelicals, Ted Haggard. He’d been an outspoken critic of gay and lesbian Americans – and especially their desire to marry – until his extra-marital, drug-fueled homosexual trysts with a male prostitute were made public. (Click here. It seem Rev. Haggard was talking about himself and was quite serious about sending him that $1000.)
.
And who could be cynical about the holier-than-thou who advocate amending the U.S. Constitution to make gay and lesbian Americans permanent second-class citizens? Such an effort is backed by pillars of morality and honesty such as the two senators who “named themselves as co-sponsors of” the Marriage Protection Amendment:
.
Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), who was arrested June 11, 2007 on charges of lewd conduct in a Minneapolis airport terminal, is co-sponsoring the amendment along with Sen. David Vitter (R-LA).
.
Craig, who entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct, was detained and charged for attempting to engage in sexual activity with a male undercover police officer. His arrest and plea became public two months later. At that time, Craig attempted to withdraw his plea and enter a new plea of not guilty. To date, his efforts have been denied by the courts.
In July of 2007, Vitter was identified as a client of a prostitution firm owned by the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey, commonly known as The DC Madam.
.
Every poll shows America’s youth – ages 18-30 – overwhelmingly support equality for gay and lesbian Americans, including the civil right to a civil marriage. In November 2008, Californians will vote on Proposition 8 which, if passed, would amend the state’s constitution and ban the same-sex marriages that are now legal in California. A statewide Field Poll conduced the week of July 15, 2008 found that “if the election were being held now, more voters say they would vote No (51%) on Prop. 8 than would vote Yes (42%). … By age, opposition to Prop. 8 is greatest among younger voters under age 30, as well as among ‘baby boomers’ in the 50 – 64 age bracket.”
.
Today’s youth are media savvy. They can see through frauds and charlatans, and they’ve had enough of the hate, irrationality and what can only be called the blind (and blinding) arrogance so ubiquitous in dominionist rhetoric.
.
To be sure, dominionists will not go extinct. They will change their name and, like a virulent pathogen, lay low until they sense an opportunity to break out and infest the body politic again. Those who have used religion to feed their megalomania and further their own hate-based political and social agenda have always existed. Their names are among history’s most infamous, then and more recently.
.
During the Bush administration, dominionists and the Council for National Policy have had carte blanche. In many ways they have steered the ship of state. That administration is coming to an end. It’s time for religion to again become one of many passengers on the ship, not its captain.
.

The Most Deadly Enemy The United States Will Ever Have To Face

Can you see it coming?

.
AMERICA WILL SOON LOSE ITS CONSTITUTION


Soon the United States must face its most deadly enemy. The Bible clearly identifies this enemy and shows the tragic outcome of this confrontation. Bible prophecy also shows that the United States will shortly repudiate every principle of its Constitution and will become one of history’s worst persecuting powers.

Already we can see the beginning of these sad events in the Waco massacre, where the United States government slaughtered helpless and defenseless women and children with a battle tank and poison gas!

When the New World Order is instituted, freedom will be gone from the earth. There will be no United States to escape to, no United States Constitution, no Bill of Rights, and no guarantees of freedom of any kind. The whole world will be one vast prison. The freedom we have enjoyed that was so dearly purchased by our founding fathers is now being thrown away by unscrupulous politicians and their sovereignty-destroying treaties.

The preceding paragraphs were written shortly after February 28, 1993, when the Waco massacre occurred. One would have to be blind not to see the many losses of liberty that have occurred since then. The following article will explain how and why we are losing our constitution.

THE MOST DEADLY ENEMY
THE UNITED STATES
WILL EVER HAVE TO FACE


The United States can never be taken by an external army. U.S. military might is too strong for any nation to ever hope to defeat the U.S. militarily. The U.S. must be infiltrated and taken from within.

Here is a quote by Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States:

“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” — Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum, of Springfield, Illinois, January 27, 1838.
Charles Chiniquy was a priest who exposed the inner goals and objectives of the papacy in his book, 50 Years in the Church of Rome. This book can be read on the internet at: http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/

For many decades the papacy has been laying plans for the takeover of the United States. This goal of the papacy is clearly stated in Charles Chiniquy’s book, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome.

“We are determined . . . to take possession of the United States, and rule them; but we cannot do that without acting secretly and with utmost wisdom. If our plans become known, they will surely be defeated.” — Charles Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, The Wickliffe Press, Protestant truth Society, Wickliffe Avenue, 104 Hendon Lane, Finchley, London, N3, 1885, p. 373.

“How sad will their awakening be, when, with our out-numbering votes, we will turn them, for ever, from every position of honor, power and profit! What will those hypocritical and godless sons and daughters of the fanatical Pilgrim Fathers say, when not a single judge, not a single teacher, not a single policeman will be elected if he be not a devoted . . . Roman Catholic? What will those so-called giants think of their matchless shrewdness and ability, when not a single Senator or member of Congress will be chosen, if he be not submitted to our holy father the Pope? What a sad figure those Protestant Yankees will cut when we will not only elect the President, but fill and command the armies, man the navies, and hold the keys of the public treasury?

“Then, yes! then, we will rule the United States, and lay them at the feet of the Vicar of Jesus Christ [the pope], that he may put an end to their godless system of education, and sweep away those impious laws of liberty of conscience which are an insult to God and man!

“. . . The American people must be very blind indeed, if they do not see that if they do nothing to prevent it, the day is very near when the Jesuits will rule their country, from the magnificent White House at Washington, to the humblest civil and military department of this vast Republic.” — ibid, p. 374.

The papacy is the most deadly enemy the United States will ever have to face. Using the utmost secrecy to conceal her plans, the papacy, through her facade of religion, has for many decades been infiltrating the United States in all levels of government. As a result, the United States will soon lose its constitution and become a tyrannical, persecuting power.

As you read the following, keep in mind that they have said it is their goal to take over the United States and trash the Constitution. The American Constitution is thoroughly detested by the papacy, because the freedom safeguards it contains make it impossible for the papacy to take over the United States as long as the Constitution is in force.

“Rome is in constant conspiracy against the rights and liberties of man all over the world; but she is particularly so in the United States. Long before I was ordained a priest I knew that my Church was the most implacable enemy of this Republic. My professors of philosophy, history, and theology had been unanimous in telling me that the principles and laws of the Church of Rome were absolutely antagonistic to the laws and principles that are the foundation stones of the Constitution of the United States.

“1st. The most sacred principle of the United States Constitution is the equality of every citizen before the law. But the fundamental principle of the Church of Rome is the denial of that equality.

“2nd. Liberty of conscience is proclaimed by the United States a most sacred principle, which every citizen must uphold .… But liberty of conscience is declared by all the Popes and Councils of Rome, a most godless, unholy, and diabolical thing, which every good Catholic must abhor and destroy at any cost.

“3rd. The American Constitution assures the absolute independence of the civil from the ecclesiastical or Church power; but the Church of Rome declares, through all her Pontiffs and Councils, that such independence is an impiety and a revolt against God.

“4th. The American Constitution leaves every man free to serve God according to the dictates of his conscience; but the Church of Rome declares that no man has ever had such a right, and that the Pope alone can know and say what man must believe and do.” — ibid, p. 375.

And when the papacy takes over there will be bloodshed.

“The Church of Rome says that she has a right to punish with the confiscation of their goods, or the penalty of death, those who differ in faith from the Pope.” — ibid, p. 376.

America simply has no idea of the terrible trouble and persecution that is coming soon at the hands of the papacy. The people of America have forgotten the wanton cruelty and unrestrained butchery this unholy power demonstrated during the Dark Ages when it slaughtered over 150 million Christians because they wanted to worship God according to the Bible. Hitler’s holocaust against the Jews was tiny compared to the papal holocaust against Christians during the Dark Ages, and the Jesuit-controlled news media never mention these atrocities.

Don't misunderstand here. The Catholic Church is NOT a Christian religion. It is a strange combination of the old pagan religions with a Christian facade. Just because they claim to be a Christian church does not make it so.

Here is a statement from the same book that shows the power these people have already amassed in the United States.

“The Jesuits of the United States form one of the richest and most powerful corporations the world ever saw.” — ibid, p. 375.

The papacy is by far the wealthiest institution on earth.

“Jesus, the founder of Christianity, was the poorest of the poor. Roman Catholicism, which claims to be His church, is the richest of the rich.” — Avro Manhattan, The Vatican Billions, Chick Publications, p. 17.

“The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe.” — Jack Chick, Smokescreens, Chick Publications, p 73.

Very few people know anything about the Jesuits because of their extreme secrecy. Here is a description of them from the book The Great Controversy that shows the abominable character and deceptiveness of the pope’s Jesuits.

“Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced by formidable foes. The first triumphs of the Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping to accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous, and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the claims of natural affection, reason and conscience wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of their order, and no duty but to extend its power. The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of truth all the weapons of deception. There was no crime too great for them to commit, no deception too base for them to practice, no disguise too difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment of the papal supremacy.

“When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, visiting prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to have renounced the world, and bearing the sacred name of Jesus, who went about doing good. But under this blameless exterior the most criminal and deadly purposes were often concealed. It was a fundamental principle of the order that the end justifies the means. By this code, lying, theft, perjury, assassination, were not only pardonable but commendable, when they served the interests of the church. Under various disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of state, climbing up to be the counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations. They became servants to act as spies upon their masters. They established colleges for the sons of princes and nobles, and schools for the common people; and the children of Protestant parents were drawn into an observance of popish rites. All the outward pomp and display of the Romish worship was brought to bear to confuse the mind and dazzle and captivate the imagination, and thus the liberty for which the fathers had toiled and bled was betrayed by the sons. The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over Europe, and wherever they went, there followed a revival of popery.” — E. G. White, The Great Controversy, pp. 234, 235, 1911, Pacific Press Publishing Assn.

Today the pope’s Jesuits are not only entrenched at the highest levels of all branches and departments of the U.S. Government, but they are also entrenched at the highest levels of virtually all the major corporations and industries in the United States. The Jesuits are the major stockholders of many of the largest corporations. They own 51% of the stock in Bank of America for instance. And because the papacy is a so-called church, they pay not one penny of taxes. Because they are a so-called church, they are able to operate internationally outside of the laws and legal proceedings everyone else must follow.

Here are a few of the Jesuit-controlled corporations that totally support their Jesuits in congress and the government: American Airlines, TWA, Anheuser Busch, AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Boeing, Cigna, Coca-Cola, Daimler Chrysler, Exxon, Ford Motor Company, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Home Depot, May Company, McDonald’s, Motorola, Philip Morris, Price-Waterhouse, Rite Aid, RJR Nabisco, Sony Corp. of America, Texaco, United Parcel Service, Walt Disney Company, and Wells Fargo.

These corporations give their Jesuit senators and congressmen in both the Democratic and Republican parties many thousands of dollars for their election campaigns. These senators and congressmen are the most radical and dangerous this country has ever had. They do everything they can to pass laws and regulations prohibited by our constitution, laws designed to destroy the United States, to eliminate freedom, and to convert the United States into a ruthless tyranny. They lie constantly to deceive the people so the people will go along with the laws and regulations they want to pass.

Everyone in high positions in the government takes a solemn oath to uphold and obey the Constitution, but nearly all of them totally ignore the Constitution. The president issues executive orders that are totally unconstitutional, and Congress passes laws that the Constitution specifically forbids. Our God-given Constitution is the reason the United States has become the greatest country in the world, but it is being thoroughly undermined today by the Jesuits in government as they work to convert the United States into a ruthless police state.
The laws and regulations they pass are designed to export the industrial and manufacturing base of the United States to other countries. They are designed to destroy our energy base by restricting oil prospecting, fuel production, and nuclear power plants. The Jesuits in the House, Senate and regulating agencies restrict the private use of land with nonsensical environmental rules and regulations. They pass laws and regulations about what is “proper” to be taught in schools so that children will grow up being extremely ignorant under the banner of being educated.

The Jesuits are not recognized by the general populace because of their treachery and secrecy. They tell no one that they are Jesuits. They even belong to other churches, other cultures, and other organizations, that they have infiltrated, to hide their identity and to control these organizations.

There are millions and millions of the pope’s Jesuits. They are everywhere. They are into everything. They are into every major organization, and control nearly every political organization and government in the world. Because of the Jesuits’ extreme secrecy, many of these organizations and governments are totally unaware that they are being infiltrated and controlled.

It is easy to identify the Jesuits and the Jesuit puppets in the United States Congress, because they are the ones that continually try to get all kinds of laws passed that require exactly the opposite from what the Constitution says. They continually pass laws that restrict the liberty of the citizens of the country. They continually pass laws to regulate every aspect of life in the United States. They continually pass laws that restrict freedom of speech such as the Campaign Finance Reform Act. Incidentally, they always use names for these laws that will sound good to the American people, but rarely indicate what is in the law. They use every means they can to deceive the people of the country and the world.

The USA Patriot act of 2001 is in almost total violation of the constitution, requiring many of the regulations Nazi Germany and communist Russia had. When all the requirements of this act are implemented, the citizens of this country will rue the day they ever allowed such a monstrosity to become law. Jesuits in the government were responsible for this act and forced its passage. They forced a vote on this act without giving the congressmen and senators an opportunity to read it! Why didn’t the congressmen and senators have the good sense to vote “no” and defeat this act since they were never able to read it?

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 is another act that was passed to take away freedom and security in the United States and is in total violation of the constitution. As all the requirements of these acts become implemented, the people of the country will learn first-hand how it feels to have absolutely no freedom. These and other laws and regulations on the books will, when implemented, convert the United States into a more ruthless police state than was Nazi Germany or communist Russia and Red China.

The Jesuits continually try to pass restrictive gun legislation. The second amendment to the Constitution says, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Every gun law that congress has ever passed is a direct violation of the United States’ Constitution. Because of the crime and terrorism in our country today, and because of the government and media propaganda against guns, people are made to believe that these laws are necessary.

When the citizens of a nation are armed, where their right to own guns is not infringed, the crime rate is extremely low.

Every man in Switzerland, for instance, is required to have guns in his home, including assault rifles. Crime in Switzerland is almost non-existent. In states and cities in America that allow people to carry guns, the crime rate is extremely low.

During World War Two, Hitler wanted to invade Switzerland. The Swiss told him that he could send his army across the border, but none of his officers would return. Hitler gave the order to invade Switzerland several times, but his officers refused to obey. Switzerland remained safely neutral all during the war because Hitler could not overcome the guns in the hands of Swiss private citizens. No dictator wants to be the dictator of a nation with 200 million guns around.
Christians generally do not want to have anything to do with guns, because a Christian would never take the life of another individual. It is not the USE of the guns that keeps the crime rate low; it is just the fact that the guns are there, and the criminals and would-be dictators know that the guns are there. That knowledge keeps them at bay.

In order to motivate the people of the United States to give up their guns, the Jesuits stage shootings periodically to show how “dangerous” guns are. These shootings occur in the most emotional places such as schools where children die. But Waco shows what will happen when only the government has guns. Some 86 children died a torturous death at Waco at the hands of the government.

Since Australia and Canada have banned guns, the crime rate in these countries has increased over 400%

Today, the United States is run and controlled by its most dedicated enemies. If you wonder at the things the government and the people in control of the government do that are so damaging to the United States, it is because they are our enemies and are determined to destroy the United States. Treason is running rampant throughout all levels and branches of the U.S. government today.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.” — Marcus Cicero, speaking to Caesar, Crassus, Pompey and the Roman Senate.

Many wonder today why the Republican party does nothing to defeat the treasonous schemes of the Democrats. It is because the pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly infiltrated the Republican party as well as the Democratic party. Many wonder why the news media lie so much to support and protect the Democrats. It is because the pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly infiltrated the news media. The news media and schools and colleges, with their lies and propaganda, have so conditioned the people of the country that they are unable to recognize what has been done to them. Victory for the Jesuits seems very near. The Jesuits are like a cancer that has pervaded nearly every fiber of the society of the United States. We are being defeated by the enemy within.

For many years the Jesuits have prevented the United States from developing additional sources of energy within its own territory. Exploiting the vast oilfields on the Alaskan north slope, that probably contain more oil than the entire middle east, is forbidden. New nuclear power plants, the safest source of electric energy ever discovered, are not permitted. There is no end to the lies people have been made to believe about Nuclear energy. The environment is used as the club to subdue the people of the country into going along with this idiocy. Modern technology is able to develop these sources of power without any damage to the environment. Needless to say, without sufficient energy, the United States will not be able to defend itself. All the papacy has to do is cut off the oil supply from the middle east.

The United States is now starting to feel the pinch of the energy shortage the Jesuits have created. People have experienced blackouts over large areas as power is shut off to stay within the limits of generating capacity. Today, instead of constructing additional nuclear power plants, some of these plants are being dismantled! Will the people of the United States be able to wake up in time to prevent the coming national tragedy?

Not only in the United States is this treachery being perpetrated by the papacy, but they are secretly at work all over the world to subvert all the nations of the world, as we read earlier from Charles Chiniquy’s book.

The papacy’s slaughter of Christians continues to this day. Since the papacy is a small country with little military capability, they always beguile other nations to do their fighting for them. Today the United States is their favorite bully. Thus, they are never directly involved, and people do not realize who is behind the wars, the trouble, and the terrorism. Avro Manhattan’s book, The Vatican’s Holocaust, describes in detail the papacy’s continuing slaughter of millions of Christians in the 20th century. At the time of this writing, the complete text of The Vatican’s Holocaust is available on the internet for downloading. A link for this book is provided at the bottom of this page.

The slaughter in Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia and others is a direct result of the Vatican’s involvement in this area, but you will never hear about it because the Jesuit-controlled news media not only refuse to mention it but they lie about the situation to keep the papacy from being suspected of her true involvement.

The Jesuits seem to have a code that guides their every action. That code is: “Call your enemy what you are and always tell the exact opposite of the truth.” This makes it very difficult to counter their lies and explain clearly and understandably what they are actually doing.
And now the world has terrorism to a degree that was unimaginable before the destruction of the World Trade Center’s twin towers in New York City where nearly 4,000 people lost their lives. This terrorism is part of the plan the Jesuits are implementing to scare the American people into giving up their freedoms, and it is working. The Bible says in Revelation 18:24 that the papacy is responsible for “… the blood of … all that were slain upon the earth.” Evidence strongly indicates that Muslims highjacked the airliners and flew them into the towers. Thus we have rather strong evidence that the papacy’s Jesuits have even been able to infiltrate the Muslims. Remember that the papacy and the Jesuits have been at this business for many hundreds of years. Remember, also, that we saw that no disguise is too difficult for them to assume.

Let us now consider some of the tactics the papacy is using to subvert the United States. Just because they call themselves a church does not mean that they are honest or honorable. Remember that Satan, the devil, gave the papacy their power and great authority [Revelation 13:2]. The Catholics, through their Jesuits, are working to accomplish the exact opposite from what the Catholic Church claims they stand for. For instance, the church claims to be against abortion, but their Jesuits, working in secrecy and masquerading as regular citizens in the government, work to pass laws and make judicial rulings permitting abortion. They have their right hand fighting their left hand to thoroughly confuse the people of the United States and to keep the people from ever connecting this evil conspiracy with them. Here is another example. The pope gets on television and, acting very piously, prays for peace, while his Jesuits are behind the scenes stirring up all kinds of wars, conflicts and terrorism in the world.

The Jesuits are making a dedicated effort in the United States to degrade the morality of the people of the country, to destroy family life, and to destroy all the traditional values that made this country the greatest nation in the world. This is being done by the abominable subjects being taught in government schools and colleges. It is being done by history courses that teach from revisionist history books containing many more lies than the truth. It is being done with pornographic sex education courses in the schools. It is being done with the destruction of religious values and the law of God, the Ten Commandments. It is being done by television programs, where entertainment is watching people break God’s law. The natural result is a drastic increase in crime. Acts of the most abominable and shocking character are daily perpetrated within this country. The murder of one and a half million unborn babies in this country each year is one result of the demoralization of this nation.

The Jesuits are also flooding the United States with aliens, most of which are Catholic. Not only are we being defeated by the Jesuit enemy within, we are constantly being invaded by an army of aliens from without. These aliens dilute the traditional American society that understands our Constitution and how it works. This makes it much easier for the Jesuits in congress to pass the unconstitutional laws so damaging to the United States. And, of course, along with these aliens come the people who actually blow up the buildings.

Many of the illegal aliens coming into this country are members of militia organizations, and are awaiting orders to attack targets in the United States.

There is talk in Washington of giving illegal aliens amnesty again, and also of converting our southern border into a “regional power block” where the area within 100 miles on either side of the border between Mexico and the United States would be administered jointly by Mexico and the U.S. The Jesuits are working to “eradicate the borders that separate Canada, Mexico, and the United States as part of a larger design to create a regional political and economic bloc duplicating the European Union.” - The New Americn, October 8, 2001.

There is also talk of putting Mexican citizens in Mexico on United States' Social Security payments. The purpose of this, along with all the wars and police-keeping actions the U.S. military is into and all the welfare the government pays for, is to completely bankrupt the United States and cause massive, runaway inflation.

“Pushed by the Mexican government, the Bush administration is working on a Social Security accord that would put tens of thousands of Mexicans [in Mexico] onto the Social Security roster and send hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits south of the border.” — Jonathan Weisman, The Washington Post, Dec. 19, 2002.

Since the Jesuits beguiled the United States into giving the Panama Canal to the Red Chinese, there are now over 200,000 Red Chinese in the Canal Zone. This portends extremely serious problems for both the United States and Panama. A large percentage of Panamanian citizens want the U.S. to come back and restore the Canal Zone as before. Incidentally, the treaty giving the canal to Panama was never properly ratified. There were two versions of the treaty: an English version and a Spanish version. These two versions were not the same. The Senate ratified one version and the Panamanians ratified the other version. And the treason goes on and on.

When America was young, it was the envy of the entire world. In it’s youth, America was kind, gracious, and gentle. America was a country of great religious and political liberty available to all under the United States Constitution. America was a nation without a king and it had a church without a pope. On American money the message of her trust in God was proclaimed, and the great blessing of God rested upon this country.

“Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French philosopher of the last century, came to our shores to discover what magical quality enabled a handful of people to defeat the mighty British Empire twice in 35 years. He looked for the greatness of America in her fertile soil, her limitless forests and natural resources. He examined America’s schools, her Congress and her unique Constitution without fully understanding the source of America’s strength.

“It was not, he said later, until he went to the churches of America and found congregations aflame with righteousness, that he began to comprehend the secret of this power. Upon his return to France, de Tocqueville wrote: "America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” — Des Griffin, Descent into Slavery?, Emissary Publications, PMB: 1776, 9205 SE Clackamas Rd., Clackamas, Oregon 97015, 1980, p. 267.

The United States was the champion of liberty and freedom throughout the world. Before this time no nation in history ever had a written constitution that guaranteed the liberty and freedom of its people. But the glorious beginning of this country was to be corrupted in later years. The gentle, gracious, freedom-loving character of the United States in its youth was later used as a facade to hide the character that this country subsequently developed. This facade has successfully kept hidden, even from most of its own citizens, the real character the United States developed in these last days as a result of Jesuit infiltration and subversion.

When the Jesuits are successful in taking over the United States and converting it into a ruthless police state, the people of the country will begin to realize what has happened to them. But then, of course, it will be too late to do anything about it.

The papacy has made colossal fools of untold millions of people down through history, and it is still doing so today.

Antichrist Sabotage of America!


"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10

"Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, an enemy hath done this……"
Matthew 13:24-28

"Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory?
Isaiah 10:1-3




In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will focus in on what has happened to the erstwhile great nation of the United States of America and examine it. As always, we do this in the light of the Scripture, and thus we expose the spiritual reasons behind the fall of what was once the most powerful nation on earth. There are three questions that must be considered regarding this subject: Who are those that want America to fall? Why do they want America to fall? How are they making America fall?

The answer to the first question is obvious to anyone who has truly studied history. There is an age-old conspiracy consisting of high ranking people in the upper levels of various secret societies. From their vantage point, which is shrouded by secrecy, they are able to plan, scheme, and choreograph the events of the world. In other words, things don't just happen to happen. They happen because someone wants them to happen and has the power to make them happen. It is spiritual wickedness in high places according to Ephesians 6:12. Thus, the major events of history happened by design and manipulation. This includes every major war and revolution. One of these high-ranking Illuminists openly admitted to all of this. The late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt brazenly stated, "….if it happened, you can bet that we planned it that way."

The answer to the second question of why America is being sabotaged is because it must be brought down to a leveling off point so it becomes interdependent on other nations. America is to become just an integral part in a one-world global government. Ultimately this global oligarchy would become a dictatorship under direct control of Lucifer, who is Satan! What thinking person can deny that this is happening before our very eyes? Revelation, chapter 13, reveals this very thing!

The answer to the third question is a little more complex yet obvious. The United States has been spiritually, economically, structurally, and morally dismantled in various ways through simultaneous satanic efforts. There was the attack on the once powerful industrial base of America as millions of good jobs were sent overseas where near slave labor could be obtained for a fraction of the cost. The war in Vietnam was fomented and various anti-war movements then rose up on college campuses throughout the United States. The beatniks of the 1950's became the hippies of the 1960's as our CIA used Dr. Timothy Leary to popularize a mind-altering drug they developed. This drug, LSD, was developed by a Swiss chemist for the CIA and was then used to its full psychedelic potential on an entire generation. Young people used this and other drugs to "trip out," and at the same time occultism and witchcraft began to wrap itself around those involved. Soon witches' spells became popular songs by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Credence Clearwater Revival, and others. For the full story on this, you may write and request a three-disc set of DVDs we produced entitled "Apocalyptic Rock."

All of this was being done by design as this new generation was being reeducated and indoctrinated by communist college professors. Then, our economy was turned over to base thieves on Wall Street, and our national debt began to soar to astronomical levels while the executives grabbed the money and ran for the tall grass. Meanwhile the ranks of the jobless began to increase exponentially. Incidents of terrorism were also provided, such as the "sneak attack" on the twin towers of the erstwhile World Trade Center. The sneaks in this "sneak attack" were President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and others of that ilk. Such incidents were used as an excuse to use our military as a massive hit squad on other countries to reshape the world in preparation for one-world governance. Then came the mass immunization programs and new designer drugs to dose the people of America. These drugs worked in conjunction with the poison additives in our food and water. Even our air is poisoned by the chemtrails that are filling our skies as airplanes spray their chemicals in patterns above us. All of this was and is being done according to satanic blueprint.

We who are the true children of the Almighty can be thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ is with us until the end of the world. If you have not yet come to Him in faith and repented, the time to do so is now. The Lord Jesus is our Saviour and our only hope. Soon He will return and bring all things into judgment. He will receive you if you pray to him now while a little time remains.

The Revived Roman Empire!

A major world event took place on November 19th, 2009, and very few people took notice. The European Union, or United States of Europe, emerged as its first permanent President was selected. This is the position that was supposed to go to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, but another man was selected by the European Parliament. The man selected is Herman Van Rompuy, who was the Prime Minister of Belgium. In his acceptance speech, Van Rompuy stated the following: "2009 is also the first year of global governance, with the establishment of the G-20 in the middle of the financial crisis. The climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet." (1)

Indeed, everything is moving quickly now. I recently received a letter from one of our subscribers in the United Kingdom, and she wrote the following words: "Well, the United Kingdom is now officially not a sovereign state anymore. As of midnight last night, we became integrated into the European Federation…." The nations of Europe are now one, and this is most certainly a latter day revival of the Roman Empire. The original Roman Empire fell in the year 476 A.D. No king or emperor was ever able to revive that empire. In 1534 King Henry VIII of England caused an even greater rift by breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church and starting the Church of England. Thus, there was a physical and a spiritual rift, a deadly wound, which seemed impossible to heal. When we add those numbers of 476 and 1534 together, we have the number 2010, the first full year of the revived Roman Empire.

The new and first permanent President of the European Union, Herman Van Rompuy is a Machiavellian schemer and illuminist. He is considered to be an economic wizard and his politics are unpredictable. He bends in every direction. When King Albert II of Belgium was presented with a law to legalize abortion, the King said he would rather abdicate than sign it. He reportedly did abdicate, being a strict Roman Catholic, and Van Rompuy, also a devout Catholic, signed abortion into law. Afterward, the king, Albert II, returned to power. Van Rompuy is sometimes referred to as "the original Belgian waffle." This new head of the revived Roman Empire was born on the witches' sabat of Samhain, or Halloween, in 1947. (2) We must also note that Van Rompuy was not elected but rather selected by the European Parliament. The word parliament is of great significance to those in witchcraft and occultism. From the time of the Middle Ages, witches would gather under the oak trees and draw a magic circle, or hexagram, in the ground. Thirteen coven members would stand in position inside the circle to both summon spirits and cast spells. Numbers of owls would gather in nearby trees, and the witches referred to them as a parliament. They were called wise owls because the word witch is derived from the word wicca and means "wise ones." The Bible refers to owls as "doleful creatures of the night." To this day, owls are associated with witches and spooky things of the night, and interestingly, zoologists refer to a flock of owls as a parliament. (3) I do not doubt that the European Parliament consists of doleful creatures of the night, and how appropriate that their leader was born on Halloween. Watch and pray as this new super power rises to prominence.

How Rotten Is It in Denmark?

Even as I write this newsletter, 15,000 delegates from 192 countries are convened in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the world Climate Summit. They are supposedly gathering to sign a document that will cut back on carbon emissions and stop global warming. The delegates themselves during this gathering will be spewing approximately 40,000 tons of carbon into the atmosphere. (4) These so-called "save the earth delegates" are utilizing 1,242 limousines and 140 private airplanes. (5) The hypocrisy is incredible, and even the prostitutes are doing their part. Copenhagen has 1,400 professional prostitutes that are unionized. When some council leaders encouraged the many delegates to not buy sex, the prostitutes' union became so enraged that they offered free sexual intercourse to anyone having a delegate's card. (6)

We know that the entire global warming premise is false and is nothing more than a gimmick to provide an excuse for unity of the nations in a new world order. On December 3rd, 2009, the Washington Times reported that according to a top researcher, NASA is hiding climate data. Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, issued a statement as follows: "NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and would explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data going as far back as the 1930's. I assume that what is there is highly damaging…." (7) There is now so much evidence that there is no global warming. In fact, the hottest year on record was 1934, which was seventy-five years ago. (8) Ignoring all of the facts, the United Nations panel of retained Illuminati scientists, armed with false data and assumptions, are declaring that the Copenhagen Summit is our last hope. They have stated, "The clock has ticked down to zero." (9) At the time of this writing, Barack Obama is in Copenhagen, and he is ready to sign the document that will require the United States to drastically reduce carbon emissions and raise the cost of energy astronomically. (10) This act is designed to further sabotage the American economy and to enroll us as an enslaved unit of the new world empire of antichrist!

Obama - A Prince of Darkness!

Who is this strange man known as Barack Obama, who now occupies the White House in our nation's capital? As time goes on, more and more is being learned about this strange man. Research indicates that he was born in Kogelo, Kenya. Shortly before he was born, his mother wanted to leave Kenya because she disapproved of the way Muslims treat women. Since she was ready to give birth, the airline reportedly refused to ticket her according to travel restrictions. Within four days after his birth, Obama's mother went to Hawaii and registered his birth at two different Hawaiian hospitals. The spiritual implications of Obama's birth are amazing when we realize that Obama's true birthplace, Kogelo, Kenya, is near the shores of Lake Victoria in Africa. Lake Victoria is the birthplace and headwaters of the Nile River, or River of Egypt. The White Nile is the only river flowing out of Lake Victoria. Is there a spirit of Egypt in the White House? Are we even now under the rule of a cruel Pharaoh and his socialist policies? Remember, this is spiritual not geographical. Consider the words of Isaiah 19:3-4 as follows: "And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts." If a people elect or even allow a king of the Nile to become President, are those people not spiritual Egyptians? Many are the prophecies that are being fulfilled!

Barack Obama is a man of great arrogance and pride. When he visited Red China, he exclusively was accompanied by a motorcade of seventy-one cars. (11) Now, Obama is also officially known worldwide as a "man of peace" as he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Just prior to claiming his prize, he took steps to greatly escalate the war in Afghanistan. (12) It is also interesting to note that just as Obama was about to arrive in Norway to claim his "peace prize," a strange light, which has not yet been explained, appeared in the sky. Some would have us to believe it was a sub launched Russian missile that failed. Norwegians watched in amazement on December 9th as a strange blue spiral of light swirled in the sky with a perfect symmetry. It was like a spiral mobius coil or swirling vortex of light. The light changed in size as it swirled and extended a ray or beam of itself to the ground and later disappeared. (13) I have no doubt that this was another sign in the heavens and an indicator of Almighty God's disapproval of the dark prince arriving in Norway to be presented to the world as a man of peace.

When Barack Obama went to Norway to receive his peace prize, he left behind some very incensed and angry Norwegians. He refused to have dinner with the Norwegian Nobel Committee. He turned down a press conference, a television interview, an appearance at a children's event promoting peace, and a music concert. He also turned down a visit to an exhibition in his honor at the Nobel Peace Centre. In addition to that, Obama refused a personal invitation from King Harald of Norway to have lunch with him. (14) It was one arrogant insult after another.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Obama is a man of double-talk. On December 7th, 2009, he held a workshop on government openness that was closed to the public. (15) This is the man that is now pushing like mad to get the Health Care Bill finalized. In last month's issue of this newsletter, I reported about the Health Care Bill being railroaded through the House of Repre-spend-atives. Subsequently, it was also passed by the U.S. Senate. The Senate version was lugged in before the vote and placed on a desk. It consisted of 2,074 pages, and weighed 20.5 pounds. The bill contains the word "tax" 511 times and includes 18 tax hikes. The oppressive bill uses the word "require" more than 1,000 times and the word "shall" more than 3,500 times. It also talks about "required studies" 150 times. (16) Also, buried deep within the pages in a "non-discussed" section of this infernal Health Care Bill, in subtitle C-11, section 2521, is the provision regarding implantable radio frequency identification devices. Unfortunately, the Health Care Bill passed in the Senate by a vote of 60-39. (17) The House and Senate versions are now being fine tuned for final approval and the signature of Barack Obama. Here let it be noted that one of the major points of contention in the final debating is the provision for total abortion coverage. Some senators made speeches opposing such free and open abortion coverage, but Senator Barbara Boxer made a combative speech in which she compared depriving women of abortion to restricting men's access to Viagra. (18)

There is no doubt that Obama will sign this communistic Health Care Bill because Obama is clearly a Communist. He is black and white and red all over. When Barack Obama visited Red China recently, the event was commemorated by Red Chinese people wearing T-shirts with a picture of Obama wearing the uniform of the Red Army with the words "Oba-Mao" underneath. The inference was that Obama and the late Chairman Mao were one. The Red Chinese Government banned the shirts eventually because they said they did not like Obama wearing their uniform. (19)

Antichrist Economics!

A study of history reveals that empires and kingdoms fell hard and were destroyed because of two primary conditions: extreme debt and excessive spending. This is the very policy of the Obama Administration. There is a reason why it takes 1,200 of our paper dollars to buy one ounce of gold, when only a few short years ago it took 320 of those same paper bills to do the same thing. The dollar is getting continually weaker, and it has now hit a 14-year low against the Japanese yen. (20) On November 25th, 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported that lending by American banks has fallen to its lowest point since the government began tracking such data. (21) On December 5th, 2009, the FDIC shut down six more banks, which brings the total number of bank failures to 130 so far this year. (22) Banking, as we once knew it, will soon be a thing of the past. I recently received a notice from a bank that I sometimes use, and it reads as follows: "The Federal Reserve Bank plans to transition to a single paper-check-processing site by the first quarter of 2010. This is being done in response to the continued nation-wide decline in check usage, as well as the rapidly increasing use of electronic check-clearing methods. When the consolidation is completed, 'there will no longer be any checks that would be considered non-local,' according to the Federal Reserve." (23)

As if there wasn't enough financial trouble in the world, the Arab city-state of Dubai announced that they were defaulting on their eighty billion dollar debt. (24) This sent shock waves throughout the financial markets of the world. On November 26th, 2009, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum, the chairman of the Supreme Fiscal Committee, revealed that the huge default was planned in advance with full knowledge of what it would do to the world financial situation. (25) On November 29th, 2009, it was revealed that the restructuring of Dubai would be under the Rothschild's Advisory Operations in the Middle East. (26) We must remember that the Rothschild family originated and started the Illuminati in 1776. Even though they are seldom heard of today, they are still running the conspiracy, which is why you don't hear about them. They do, however, make rare appearances.

The economy of the United States is now being sabotaged on a grand scale and at a great rate of speed. In the months of October and November 2009, the Federal Government already spent 292 billion dollars more than it took in. (27) With a national debt of approximately 13 trillion dollars and a massive health care plan that will cost trillions more, also the ongoing wars, we are now seeing the demise of our American economy. What solution has Barack Obama come up with to solve this problem? On December 8th, 2009, Barack Obama gave a speech at a high-level Illuminati school known as the Brookings Institution. This the place where people in high places go to get their minds acclimated to satanic policy. During the speech, Obama said the following: "We must spend our way out of this recession." (28) The insanity of this statement should be obvious. When you have massive debt, you don't get out of it by making more of it. When I studied economics in technical college, we learned that when you increase the money supply from thin air, you weaken the value of the existing money. Then inflation sets in because the existing goods and services act like a dry sponge and quickly absorb the increased supply of credits and currency. The hole gets deeper and deeper until complete collapse occurs!

We are a debtor nation that does not function in the positive with real money. We function in the negative with credit. Everyone strives to have a good credit score so they can become indebted easily. If our economy functioned in the positive, credit scores would be meaningless. We are a nation that has functioned, or should I say malfunctioned, on credit for many years. We followed our government's lead, and as a result we are seeing the countless millions of people on the street with little hope for a job. Businesses continue to cut back, banks have become tight-fisted, and foreclosed houses sit empty while people live in tents and cars. It is a system that does not and cannot work. It is so bad that on November 29th, 2009, United Press International reported that there are now 20,000 new applications for food stamps every day! (29) Our only hope is the return of the Lord Jesus.

America Is Hazardous to Your Health!

Many people have the mistaken impression that Americans are the healthiest people in the world. We have a Federal Food and Drug Administration to watch over us, and we have massive health care facilities. They put chlorine in our water to purify it and add fluoride to make our teeth strong and so on. In reality, the chlorine causes your arteries to harden, and the fluoride has a direct effect on the functioning of the thought and memory processes of the brain. This is all done with intent and purpose by health officials in high places that are capitulating with the Luciferian conspirators. In reality, of all the nations on earth, the United States ranks 31st in life expectancy. We rank 37th in infant mortality, and 34th in maternal mortality. A child in the United States is 2.5 times more likely to die by age five than a child in Singapore or Ireland. (30) Immunizations continue to make many children autistic, and our elementary school children are commonly given mind-altering drugs to settle them down. Here let it be noted that any mind-altering drug is nothing more than "demon food." Addiction is a spirit, and spirits have appetites. When you feed the demon, they stop acting up for awhile, and it appears that the drug worked. But it is never enough. Our American society is medicated from the cradle to the grave, and very few people are asking what is wrong.

We have massive hospitals and medical centers, and it costs a lot of money to staff them and operate them. It is simply a matter of economics. If enough people don't get sick, you have to make them sick. One way of doing this is with the use of BPA, or Bisphenol-A. Recent tests have proven that nine of ten babies in the United States are born with BPA in their systems. In addition to that, of all Americans of any age that were tested, it was found that 93% of them had BPA in their urine. The substance BPA was developed as a synthetic estrogen. It is produced by condensation of acetone, which produces two equivalents of phenol when catalyzed by hydrochloric acid. It is used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It is used as a lining for nearly all food and beverage cans and as a coating for carbonless paper receipts. Six billion pounds of BPA are used per year, even though it has been linked to breast cancer, prostate cancer, reproductive failures, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, obesity, and behavioral problems. The Federal Food and Drug Administration declared BPA to be safe for all uses, and they based their decision on two studies that were both done by the chemical industry that produces the BPA product! (31) What a clever scheme to induce disease and feed the financial needs of the medical and drug industries! How much diabetes is there in our country? How about breast and prostate cancer? Where is it all coming from? Remember when years ago almost everything was packaged in real glass bottles, jars, and containers? There was far less disease in those days!

The world of electronics is also destroying the bodies, souls, and minds of the people. One example is the new X-ray machines being used at airports. These backscatter radiation devices use tetrahertz radiation, and they do far more than reveal the private parts of your body. While the radiation is too low to cause cellular or genetic damage to your body, recent studies indicate that it does interfere directly with DNA. This type of radiation unzips the double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand. This could potentially lead to numerous health problems. (32) The entire world seems to be unraveling just prior to the return of our Saviour.

Warning Cries of the Creation!

God is well able to use weather and other conditions on earth to declare his consternation against the wicked endeavors of man! I find it both amazing and appropriate that the Almighty would send a massive blizzard that covered most of the United States just as the global warming summit was beginning in Copenhagen. In some areas of the United States, the snow drifts were fifteen feet high! The winds exceeded fifty miles per hour and the temperatures plunged well below zero on the late autumn day of December 9th, 2009. (33)

Elsewhere in the world, the Almighty sent more ice as the Copenhagen summit approached. More than 130 large icebergs were seen heading toward New Zealand. (34) On December 9th, 2009, a giant iceberg was seen heading for Australia. It is twelve miles long and five miles wide, twice the size of Sydney Harbor. (35)

On earth there are many signs, and with those signs are continued wars, rumors of wars, and distress of nations; just as the Word of God warned us in Matthew, chapter 24; Luke, chapter 21; and Mark, chapter 13. There are also signs in the heavens. The Hubble Space Telescope and Keck Observatory images reveal that violent changes are happening on the planet Jupiter. Unprecedented storms with winds of over 200 miles per hour are moving across areas of Jupiter, which has twelve jet streams compared to our Earth's two. Scientists are trying to figure out what is happening to Jupiter because the changes are so violent and dramatic. (36)

Here on earth, man spends vast wealth and exerts great effort in the quest of energy. The power of God is so awesome and great that when He made the Sun, which is approximately 93 million miles from the earth, He gave it the power to produce vast amounts of electricity. In just one second, the sun produces 35 million times the amount of electricity used annually by the entire nation of the United States of America!

In closing, I want to thank all of you who support this end time prophetic ministry. I pray you will be blessed now and in eternity. Please remember that we have prayer teams waiting to give your prayer requests individual and personal attention. If you have not yet sent in your renewal form to receive the Last Trumpet Newsletter for 2010, please remember to send it back soon. We do not want you to miss a single issue in this challenging year ahead. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
