Stand Up for Religious Freedom—One More Time!


June 7, 2012 By Kathy Schiffer


Our work isn’t done, folks.

Apparently, some in the White House and the media think that the Church’s opposition to the HHS Mandate has lost steam. But just to be sure you know how great this is for women, the White House staged a June 7 “Women’s Health Town Hall” which they describe as “an interactive, open dialogue about how the health care law, the Affordable Care Act, is improving the health of women and their families.”

Tomorrow, June 8, is your chance to let them know how wrong they are, and how women and men value their First Amendment freedom of religion.

In March 2012, concerned Americans gathered in 163 cities across America in defense of religious liberty, and to protest the HHS Mandate. At noon on June 8, there will be a second rally. Concerned Americans in at least 160 cities will once again come together in a sign of solidarity.

For information about the events and the speakers, and to find a rally in your community (or to start your own), visit StandUpforReligiousFreedom.com.






Archbishop: Religious liberty campaign not meant to 'throw' election

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The U.S. Catholic Church's challenges to the federal government's contraceptive mandate under the health care law is not an attempt to "throw" the presidential election in favor of one candidate or against another, said the chairman of the bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Freedom. Speaking with members of the Catholic Press Association in a conference call June 6, Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori said the bishops' campaign emerged because of the federal government's attempt to force religious organizations to pay for health services that violate fundamental religious principles. The mandate was announced Aug. 1, 2011, as part of the rules the Department of Health and Human Services is issuing to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in 2010. Along with the mandate, HHS released a four-pronged religious exemption that has raised objections among Catholic Church officials and others who say it is so narrow that most religious employers will not qualify. On Jan. 20 of this year, HHS announced that nonprofit groups that do not provide contraceptive coverage because of their religious beliefs will get an additional year "to adapt to this new rule." Said Archbishop Lori in the 45-minute session: "It's important to say the struggle we are engaging in here is not a partisan issue. We didn't choose the time. We didn't choose the place. We're not trying to throw an election. We're simply trying to defend fundamental freedoms. It's not a Republican or Democratic issue. It's not a Catholic issue. It's a freedom issue," he said.

Sundays must be a day of rest dedicated to God, family, pope says

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The demands of work can't bully people out of needed time off, Pope Benedict XVI said.

Sunday must be a day of rest for everyone, so people can be free to be with their families and with God, the pope said.

"By defending Sunday, one defends human freedom," he said during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square June 6.

In his catechesis, the pope told an estimated 15,000 pilgrims and visitors about his trip June 1-3 to Milan for the seventh World Meeting of Families.

He thanked everyone who made the "unforgettable and wonderful event" possible and praised the willingness he witnessed of people striving to live a "Gospel of the family."

"Humanity has no future without the family," he said. Young people need to be born and raised in "that community of life and love that God himself wanted," that is, a family based on marriage between a man and woman, he said.

He reminded young people that they, too, have a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of the family, such as by saying "yes" to God's will, working hard in their studies, being generous to others, being active in the community and using their talents to better the world.

The pope said when he met government representatives in Milan, he reminded them of the importance of policies and laws that protect the family. The most essential is the right to life, "whose its deliberate suppression can never be allowed." The identity of the family, based on marriage between a man and a woman, needs recognition, too, the pope said.

During an evening vigil of testimonies, the pope answered the questions of five families from different countries because "I wanted to show the open dialogue that exists between families and the church, between the world and the church," he said.

He said he was quite taken by people's testimonies, which dealt with "hot-button issues" such as the difficulties families experience because of separation, divorce, the economic crisis and long hours on the job.

The pope said he wanted to come to the defense of free time, which is "threatened by a kind 'bullying' by the demands of work."

"Sunday is the day of the Lord and of man, a day which everyone must be able to be free -- free for the family and free for God."

Family, work, rest and celebration are gifts from God and important aspects of human life that must find a "harmonious balance" in order to build a more humane world, he said.

He said the World Meeting of Families was a way to send a message to the whole world that "it is possible and joyful, even if it takes work, to live love faithfully forever and be open to life" and that it's also possible for the whole family to take part in the mission of the church and help create a better world.

Putin emphasizes military ties with Chinese VP

Posted on Wednesday, 06.06.12


Russia's President Vladimir Putin attends a bilateral meeting with China's Vice Premier Li Keqiang on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Putin is emphasizing



THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


BEIJING -- Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized burgeoning military ties with China on Wednesday on the second day of a visit to his nation's eastern neighbor.

Putin told Vice President Xi Jinping that he and Chinese President Hu Jintao have vowed to expand military exchanges and he also recalled recent Russian-Chinese naval exercises in the Yellow Sea.

Military exchanges between Moscow and Beijing have accelerated under a regional security grouping that has hosted regular border protection and anti-terrorism drills.

China is a major customer for Russian fighters, submarines, missiles frigates, and other high-tech arms, but mistrust lingers from their Cold War rivalry. Ties have warmed steadily, however, over Putin's decade-long dominance of Russian political life.

Putin's visit is his first to China since returning to Russia's presidency last month and comes ahead of his first visit to the U.S. in a move seen as signaling an eastward pivot in Russian foreign policy.

In Beijing, Putin reaffirmed targets of raising bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2015 from $83.5 billion last year, and to $200 million by 2020.

Warming ties between China and Russia have counterbalanced U.S. influence and shielded Syria from international moves to halt its crackdown on a 15-month uprising.

Look for daytime moon each morning this upcoming week

TONIGHT FOR
JUNE 6, 2012

The image above shows a daytime moon, like the one you might see in the next few mornings. Want to see the real thing? Look in the southwest to west after sunrise in the next few mornings to see the moon in a clear blue daytime sky.

Why can you see the moon in the daytime now? Full moon was two days ago. That means the moon is now in a waning gibbous phase, rising late at night and setting in a westward direction after sunrise. This week and throughout the weekend, you can see the daytime moon in the morning sky. If you look for the moon at the same time every morning, you’ll see that the moon climbs higher and higher up into the sky all this next week.

By June 11, the moon will be at the last quarter phase – rising at midnight and in the south around dawn. By June 19, the moon will be new – located on a line with the Earth and sun – crossing the sky with the sun and so not visible in our sky.


People love to see the daytime moon. They wonder about it, and ask about it. Once, a reader in Kansas City wrote in with the name “children’s moon” to describe a moon visible during the day. She said this name stemmed from the idea that children can’t stay up at night late enough to see the moon when it appears only in darkness.


That story prompted another reader to send in an alternate version for the origin of the name children’s moon. She wrote, “I heard a daytime moon was called a ‘children’s moon’ because their eyes were sharp enough to pick it out, where the old folks, with fading vision, could not tell it from the clouds.”

Can you see the daytime moon this weekend? In the morning, look for it low in the southwest sky shortly after sunrise tomorrow, and rather high up in the southern sky about a week from now.




Venus transit 2012 begins as the world looks to the sky

June 5, 2012 | 3:59 pm

Griffith Observatory .



The Transit of Venus of 2012 has begun, and people across the world have begun seeing a black dot of Venus coast across the sun's disc.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event because it won't happen again for another 105 years or so.... I'm pretty lucky to be alive right now," said Chris Spellman, 40, of Monrovia, who was setting up his telescope at the Griffith Observatory.

At Caltech in Pasadena, a pep band was preparing to play Sousa's "Transit of Venus March." Astronomers from Mount Wilson in Southern California to Mauna Kea in Hawaii were eagerly greeting the extremely rare planetary alignment with high-powered telescopes equipped with protective solar filters. The next Transit of Venus won't happen for 105 years. The view ends at sunset in the United States, and continues in points west -- Hawaii, Asia, eastern Africa, and Europe -- until just before 10 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.


"Woohoo!" exclaimed an astrophysicist watching Venus cross the sun in Hawaii over a live NASA feed online. "Ohh, it's amazing!" said another.

The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles was expecting thousands of people to show up on its lawn to view the cosmic show, and experienced astronomers united with amateurs to watch something that has not been viewable in California since 1882.

"We're just amateurs. We just came to see the event. It seemed pretty cool," said Nathan Smith, 28, of Burbank, sitting with his girlfriend on the lawn.
Tom Baker, 54, Simi Valley, pulled his son, Thomas Baker, 7, out of school to watch, and both had been there since 10 a.m.

His teacher said that if he got a photograph he'll be able to get some extra points for it, Baker said.

Able to photograph the transit? Tweet it to us at @LANow and tag it with #LAVenus. You can upload photos to our website.

SpaceX Dragon Capsule lands Finally

Submitted by Pauline Beart on Wed, 06/06/2012 - 06:32

SpaceX Dragon Capsule lands Finally
In a recent report, it has been confirmed that the SpaceX Dragon Capsule has finally made its way in Rialto on Tuesday. The capsule was confirmed to be a part of a trip to the International Space Station. There are chances that the California-based SpaceX would send another cargo ship in September.

It was further told that NASA has lot of expectations from companies like SpaceX so that groceries and other astronauts can be sent to the orbit. It was told that it was on early Tuesday that the capsule stopped in Rialto on its way from the Port of Los Angeles. Later, it was seen on the San Bernardino (10) Freeway while making its way to the company's rocket laboratory in McGregor, Texas.

It was told that it is not the first time that SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was sent for the purpose. It was in the year 20110 that the company made its presence felt and from that time, it has made such attempts three times, including the recent one.

With this attempt, the company is very much eligible for entering in military business. ?"The new entrant criteria did say three launches are required (for Falcon 9) before certification can happen for national security payloads”, said SpaceX Communications Director Kirstin Brost Grantham.





Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee


6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.

20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

Philly priest-abuse jury breaks without verdict


June 04, 2012 20:48 GMT


By MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A jury is set to continue deliberations Tuesday morning in a groundbreaking clergy-abuse case involving the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Monsignor William Lynn is charged with conspiracy and child endangerment for his handling of abuse complaints. The jury has been deliberating since Friday.

Jurors asked Monday if Lynn had to conspire with a convicted priest, Edward Avery, or if he'd be guilty if he conspired only with colleagues at the Philadelphia archdiocese to hide abuse complaints.

After hours of courtroom debate, the judge has told the jury that Avery does not have to be a co-conspirator. But she says the overt act required under the state's conspiracy law must involve him.

Defense lawyers say that's not how they tried the 10-week case. They say the conspiracy charge alleges Lynn conspired with Avery.

Jury in priests trial asks for definitions of conspiracy, rape

By John P. Martin
and Joseph A. Slobodzian
INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS

A jury today begins its first full day of deliberations in the criminal trial against Msgr. William J. Lynn (left) and Rev. James J. Brennan (right). Lynn faces conspiracy and child endangerment charges. Brennan faces attempted rape and child endangerment charges.
A jury today begins its first full day of deliberations in the criminal trial against Msgr. William J. Lynn (left) and Rev. James J. Brennan (right). Lynn faces conspiracy and child endangerment charges. Brennan faces attempted rape and child endangerment charges.

On their first full day of deliberations Monday, jurors in the landmark sex-abuse trial of two Archdiocese of Philadelphia priests weren’t shy about asking questions.

They asked for the definition of attempted rape, and then rape itself. (They got them.) They wanted to know if they had wait until reaching verdicts on both defendants before notifying the court staff. (They did.)

And, in a question that stirred a spirited courtroom debate, they asked Common Pleas Court Judge M. Teresa Sarmina to clarify what they needed to conclude that there had been a conspiracy within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to endanger children.

After about five hours of deliberations, the panel of five women and seven men ended the day without a verdict. They will gather again Tuesday morning.

The judge, the prosecutors and the lawyers for the defendants, Msgr. William J. Lynn and the Rev. James J. Brennan, were careful not to read too much into the questions.

Still they battled over what to tell the panel, particularly on the question of a conspiracy charge against Lynn, the former clergy secretary accused of covering up or enabling child sex abuse.

Prosecutors say Lynn conspired to endanger children when he allowed Edward Avery, a former priest, to live and celebrate Mass at St. Jerome Church in Northeast Philadelphia despite knowing that Avery had molested a teen decades earlier. Avery has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy in the church in 1999.

The jurors were not told during the 11-week trial about Avery’s guilty plea, or why Avery, a defrocked priest who had been present during jury selection, was no longer a defendant in the case.

But his victim took the witness stand during the trial and testified that the priest twice ordered him to perform a striptease and engage in oral sex.

After gathering for barely an hour Monday morning, the jurors asked to see all the trial evidence regarding Avery. They also asked the judge to explain if a conspiracy involving Lynn had to include Avery and others in the archdiocese. They underlined the word "and."

Lynn’s lawyers pounced on the question, seizing on the possibility that jurors might be struggling to accept that Avery knowingly schemed with Lynn and others to put him in a position to abuse children. They urged Sarmina to instruct jurors that they could not find Lynn guilty of such a conspiracy without proof that Avery was part of the plot.

To do otherwise "makes absolutely no sense," said Thomas Bergstrom, one of four lawyers representing Lynn. "What have we been doing here for the last 11 weeks? . . . It must include Avery."

Prosecutors had argued throughout the case that other church leaders besides Lynn were accountable for decisions that endangered children, although he was the only archdiocesan official charged by name in the case.

Assistant District Attorney Patrick Blessington told the judge that jurors only needed to find that Lynn conspired with someone in order to conclude his actions put Avery in position to harm children.

Sarmina re-read the jurors the instruction on the law that she gave them before deliberations started Friday. But she irked Lynn’s attorneys -- enough that they read an objection into the court record -- when she tried to elaborate with a brief explanation that they said probably confused jurors even more.

"Frankly, it was unintelligible," lawyer Jeffrey Lindy told the judge.

Sarmina conceded her explanation could have been more artfully worded but she declined to call the panel back for a third time. If they were confused, she said, "I’m sure we’ll see that in the next set of questions."

The defense had scored a legal victory on a similar issue earlier in the trial when Sarmina ruled that prosecutors had failed to prove a conspiracy between Lynn and Brennan, who is accused of raping a 14-year-old boy in 1996. The judge threw out that charge against both defendants.

Jurors also appeared to be weighing the evidence against Brennan. They asked the judge to explain the elements of an attempted rape and the definition of rape.

His accuser testified that he was 14 when Brennan, a longtime family friend, shared a bed with him, discussed sex, pulled him close and pressed his private parts against the boy.

Brennan did not testify at the trial, but his lawyer has contended the accuser, now 30, made up the allegation in a bid to get a payout from the priest or church.

Warning Signs Of Distress In The Last Days!

Warning Signs Of Distress In The Last Days!



"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matthew 24:48-51


Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not."

Luke 12:37-40


In this issue of the Last Trumpet, we will once again focus on the current events of our day and the many dangers that the people of the earth are now facing in these times of turmoil. Although most people in this world are hopeful that things will get better and are content to ignore the many warning signs of distress in these last days, a sizeable minority of people are waking up to the possibility that we could soon be facing some very difficult challenges. In fact, a recent news article reported that there are up to three million Americans who are now preparing for "doomsday." These people are commonly referred to as "preppers" and many of them have gone to great lengths to ensure that they will be prepared for any disasters that they may face in the future. The article cites a poll by the National Geographic Channel in which 61 percent of respondents say they believe a catastrophic event will occur within the next twenty years. (1) Meanwhile, a housing developer in the state of Kansas is building luxury shelters within the shaft of an abandoned missile silo. As of April 2012, wealthy survivalists have spent 7 million dollars on the shelters, and there is a possibility that more may be built. Speaking of his clientele, developer Larry Hall stated, "They worry about events ranging from solar flares, to economic collapse, to pandemics, to terrorism, to food shortages." (2)

The possibility that a major catastrophic event could occur is not a far-fetched notion. For example, experts have been concerned for many years that an electromagnetic pulse could be set off in the United States and effectively disable the nation's power grid. Such an event could not only be caused by a terrorist attack, but also by massive solar storms. According to a 2010 article in USA Today, such a powerful solar storm is inevitable and will likely occur within the next ten to 100 years. (3) The article quotes physicist Yousaf Butt of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics as saying, "We are almost guaranteed a very large solar storm at some point, but we are talking about a risk over decades." (4) Former House speaker Newt Gingrich has also expressed concern over the threat of an electromagnetic pulse and has gone on record stating the possibility "is an enormous, catastrophic threat." (5)

As each day passes and we hear of more and more threats to civilization and our world, it is no wonder that so many people have begun to prepare for doomsday. I cannot fault anyone for making preparations to endure hard times, catastrophic events, and disasters. However, it is far more important to make sure that you are watching, praying, and prepared to meet our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when He returns. For as Jesus warns us in Luke 12:40, "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." No man woman or child knows when our Saviour will return, but we must always be ready to meet him. If you have not yet fully given your heart to God, I encourage you to do so now. It is only through the grace of God that we can endure the trouble and calamity this world now faces, and it is only through Him that we can experience true peace and joy.

You Are Being Watched!

We are living in a time when the United States government is becoming increasingly invasive regarding the personal privacy of American citizens. New technology is constantly being developed to spy on the people and watch every move that they make. Many of the details surrounding the government's surveillance and spy technology are closely guarded secrets; however, some astonishing details have recently been brought forth in news reports.

A report from March 2012 that was published in Wired Magazine tells of a secret new spy center being built in the state of Utah which will be used to catalog and store vast quantities of data and information that has been captured by the spying apparatus of the National Security Agency or NSA. The compound, which is to be known by the rather generic name, Utah Data Center, will be home to four "data halls" with each one measuring 25,000 square feet. The facilities will contain a vast array of servers insomuch that 60,000 tons of cooling equipment will be required to prevent them from overheating. The compound will also feature water storage and the capability to pump 1.7 million gallons of water per day. Additionally, a power substation is also being constructed to accommodate the compound's extraordinary 65-megawatt power demand. (6) According to the Wired article, the data center will store "all forms of communication, including the contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches." Various data, including details of parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other information will also be stored at the compound. When NSA deputy director Chris Inglis was asked by reporters what the purpose of the new data center would be, he stated, "It's a state-of-the-art facility designed to support the intelligence community in its mission to, in turn, enable and protect the nation's cybersecurity." (7) This ambitious project has a price tag of two billion dollars and is expected to become fully operational by September 2013. (8)

While technology continues to expand in these days of such a rapid increase in knowledge, it is only becoming easier for Big Brother to keep his watchful eye on the people. Many household devices now connect to the Internet, including televisions, video game systems, and household appliances. In fact, even lighting systems can be connected to the Internet, and homeowners can use their cell phone or other remote devices to turn their lights on and off while they are away from home. CIA director David Patraeus refers to this type of technology as "the Internet of things," and he is hoping that it will assist the CIA in their endeavors to spy. "Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters - all connected to the next-generation Internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing," Patraeus said. (9)

As if the above examples of privacy infringement were not serious enough, we may soon be seeing more unmanned drones in the sky all across the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration has now granted permission to police departments, fire departments, and other government agencies to fly unmanned drones weighing up to twenty-five pounds with no special approval required. These recent developments in drone deployment have raised the ire of news commentator Charles Krauthhammer who stated, "Yes, you can say we have satellites, we've got Google Street, and London has a camera on every street corner. But that is not an excuse to cave in on everything else and accept a society where you are always being watched by the government. This is not what we want. I would say ban it under all circumstances." Mr. Krauthhammer further went on to say, "I don't think we want a society where if there are these objects hovering over, streaming real-time information about you, your car, your location. We know it's going to be abused." (10)

As we get a glimpse of future technology and begin to see the devices of the wicked one come to fruition, it has become obvious that the groundwork and infrastructure for the antichrist is now being developed. They are very proud of their technology, and their advanced capabilities, however, God is neither intimidated nor impressed by anything they have done or will do. In Jeremiah 49:16 we read, "Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord." Yes, they may be able to watch us from space using satellites, or hover over our homes with drones, but God is in control, and everything the forces of darkness endeavor to accomplish will come to naught.

The Danger Of "Green" Extremism!

In previous issues of the Last Trumpet, I have suggested that so-called "climate change" and other environmentalist causes might someday be the pretense used to enslave and control the world's population under a global governmental system. For many organizations and individuals, their devotion to their cause very much resembles religious fervor as they continue to suggest new and drastic measures that they believe must be implemented to "save the planet." To gain some insight into how the mind of an environmental extremist operates, we need look no further than Prince Philip of the United Kingdom who once made the statement, "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation." (11)

Some of the solutions that these extremists suggest being implemented as soon as possible are detailed in a rather onerous report published by the World Wilde Fund for Nature or WWF entitled "Living Planet Report 2012." The authors of the report make the claim that the earth's resources are being consumed far too quickly. "We are living as if we have an extra planet at our disposal. We are using 50 per cent more resources than the Earth can provide, and unless we change course that number will grow very fast - by 2030, even two planets will not be enough," bemoaned Jim Leape, the Director General of the organization. (12)

As a solution to the problem, the WWF proposes uniting the world into what they call a "one planet perspective." Page 106 of the report explains the initiative as follows, "WWF's One Planet perspective explicitly proposes to manage, govern and share natural capital within the Earth's ecological boundaries. In addition to safeguarding and restoring this natural capital, WWF seeks better choices along the entire system of production and consumption, supported by redirected financial flows and more equitable resource governance." (13) Needless to say, the proposed system described in the report sounds very much like a global one world government.

Incidentally, the report also suggests that the United States and other developed nations must drastically reduce consumption, particularly of food products such as red meat and dairy. Predictably, the report also advocates "universal access to gender-sensitive reproductive health services" or in other words, easier access to abortion for women seeking to end their pregnancies. (14)

Is the environmental agenda a scare tactic being used to coerce the masses into obedience? Here let it be noted that even United States Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has jumped on the climate change bandwagon and recently made the following declaration, "The area of climate change has a dramatic impact on national security." (15)

The Slaughter Of The Innocents Continues!

In April 2012 United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement to the world declaring that young girls need easier access to contraceptives and abortions. "Sixteen million adolescent girls become mothers every year, and every day, more than 2000 young people contract HIV. We have a collective responsibility to drive these numbers down," Ban stated. (16)

Unfortunately, those who support abortion and label themselves as pro-choice are only becoming more adamant and vocal regarding their cause. In fact, a group known as the National Network of Abortion Funds or NNAF, recently raised $400,000 for abortion by hosting a bowl-a-thon. The website for the group boasted of their accomplishments and featured the story of a fourteen year-old girl who was able to have her innocent baby murdered because of the financial assistance she received from the organization. Speaking of her experience, the young girl said, "Y'all were just so nice. I mean, you gave me like more than a thousand dollars. There's no way that me and my mom could have come up with that much." The girl also stated, "Getting my abortion means I'm going to get a second chance. And I want to make it count." (17)

Sadly, there are even some people who claim to be Christians and still strongly support abortion. In fact, the Six Rivers Planned Parenthood of Eureka, California, has been promoting a prayer campaign in support of abortion rights. The program, which is entitled "40 Days of Prayer: Supporting Women Everywhere" was devised by Rebecca Turner, the executive director of an organization known as Faith Aloud. Some examples of the prayers written by Ms. Black include the following, "Today we pray for our daughters and granddaughters that they will always know the power of making their own good decisions." "Today we give thanks for the doctors who provide quality abortion care, and pray that they may be kept safe." "Today we pray for medical students who want to include abortion care in their practice. May they receive good training and find good mentors." "Today we pray for an end to the stigma perpetrated against women who have abortions." (18)

These are truly strange days wherein strong delusion has set in, and people around the world are declaring the slaughter of innocent children to be a good and virtuous thing. We know that God has great contempt for child sacrifice and that Jesus expressed great love and affection for children. In Matthew 18:10, Jesus said, "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." In Matthew 18:14, Jesus tells us, "Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."

As horrific and wicked as abortion is, the depravity of man extends even beyond the murder of children. A shocking report recently came to light describing how Chinese doctors and medical staff members are taking the corpses of aborted babies and selling them on the black market. These tiny little bodies are then dried and ground into a powder. From that point, the powder is then dispensed into capsules which are distributed as "stamina boosters." Since August 2011, customs agents in South Korea have thwarted thirty-five attempts to smuggle the pills across their nation's border. In the process, 17,000 capsules were confiscated. (19) While I realize that this story sounds very much like an urban legend, it has been covered and verified by several mainstream news sources. There is truly great wickedness abounding all over the world in these last days. A time will come when mankind will have to answer to God for his evil deeds.

A Chinese Foothold In The United States!

For the last several decades, the communist nation of China has been siphoning off vast amounts of American wealth. Not only does China hold over one trillion dollars of American debt, (20) but the trade deficit continues to increase exponentially every month. In fact, the trade deficit with China has increased by over 67 billion dollars in just the first three months of 2012. (21) For the sake of comparison, the deficit with China was only six million dollars for the entire year of 1985. (22)

It has now come to light that Chinese investors are attempting to gain a foothold in the United States itself. In 2010, a story in the Idaho Statesman detailed the ambitious plans of the China National Machinery Industry Corporation to develop industry, retail centers, and homes in Boise, Idaho. The development would be built on an area of land measuring between 10,000 and 30,000 acres. (23)

Chinese investors are now hoping to build a large development in the state of Michigan which would essentially be a "China City" intended for use by Chinese business people looking to establish companies in the United States. The plan calls for an elaborate 415-unit housing complex which would feature 6,000 square-foot homes and a cultural center for its residents. (24)

In the city of Toledo, Ohio, 69 acres of the marina district have been sold to a Chinese investment firm known Dashing Pacific Group Ltd. (25) The deal was lauded by Mayor Mike Bell who had struggled to avoid laying off city workers in the wake of a multi-million dollar budget deficit. Regarding the deal, Mayor Bell declared, "My vision is to make Toledo a true international city." (26)

Chinese firms have also been buying into American companies. In 2010, the China National Offshore Oil Corporation bought a multibillion dollar stake in Chesapeake Energy, a company which owns 600,000 acres of oil and gas fields in South Texas. (27)

Chinese companies are even buying into the American entertainment industry. It was announced in May 2012 that Dalian Wanda Group has purchased American cinema operator AMC Entertainment Holdings for 2.6 billion dollars. The acquisition means that 346 movie theaters in the United States will now be owned by a Chinese company. (28)

It is worthwhile to note that many of the deals being made in the United States are by state-owned Chinese companies. In essence, this means that large portions of the United States itself are now owned by the communist regime of China. Chinese companies invested 34.8 billion dollars in the United States last year. (29) The rate at which Chinese interests are acquiring assets within the United States is a disturbing trend. Americans may soon discover that much of their country has been taken over, and the profits of such endeavors are lining the pockets of foreign corporations.

A Grim Outlook For California!

Although we are told that the economy in the United States is recovering and that happier days are ahead for Americans, the people of the state of California would likely disagree. In a recent news report, it was announced that California is facing a 16 billion dollar budget deficit this year. "We are still recovering from the worst recession since the 1930s. Tax receipts are coming lower than expected and the federal government and the courts have blocked us from making billions of necessary budget reductions. The result is that we are now facing a $16 billion deficit," announced California governor, Jerry Brown. (30) Sadly, one out of every five children in California now lives in poverty. (31) High unemployment in the state has also compounded the problem, and on May 12, 2012, over 90,000 Californians lost their federal unemployment benefits. (32) Facing tax increases, widespread poverty, and a general lack of opportunity to be gainfully employed, a mass exodus from the state is now underway, with four million people having left the state over the last two decades. (33)

There was a time when multitudes flocked to California to pursue their dreams of acquiring riches and fame. However, California is not the prosperous state it once was. In fact, an article in the Wall Street Journal likened the state of California to the troubled European nation of Greece. (34)

Europe On The Brink Of Disaster!

After leaders in the European nation of Greece failed to establish a new government upon holding their elections on May 6, 2012, many world leaders and economists are warning that Greece may have to abandon the euro and return to their former currency known as the drachma. (35) The effects of such a maneuver could be catastrophic not only for Greece, but for much of Europe as well. A Reuters article published on May 14, 2012, quoted several economists regarding what they think might happen if Greece leaves the euro. "Interest rates will have to double, and all mortgages, business loans and other borrowing will become much more expensive. There will be no credit for Greek banks or the Greek state. That could mean a shortage of basic commodities, like oil or medicine or even foodstuffs. The worst case scenario would be a social and economic breakdown, perhaps even leading to a totalitarian regime," stated Michael Arghyrou, the senior economics lecturer at Cardiff Business School. (36) Financial Journalist Julia Kollewe expressed concern that we could soon see a mass exodus of skilled workers from Greece. "The depreciation of the new currency will make imported goods more expensive and drive up inflation. Mass unemployment is likely, as is an exodus of young skilled workers. If tens of thousands of Greeks headed to the borders, they might even be closed. Greek soldiers patrolling the roads and ports to keep their fellow citizens in? It's not impossible," Ms. Kollewe stated. (37) Jan Randolph, an economist at IHS Global Insight presented an even more grim assessment. "If credit is withdrawn by the EU and IMF, then Greece becomes a cash economy. It means the government can only pay what it collects. The government starts shutting down, 10-15% of state employees don't get paid and unemployment surges from 20% to 30%. The Greek banking sector would collapse as well," Randolph hypothesized. (38) Greek President Karolos Papoulias also expressed his concern. "The extension of political instability will lead to fatal consequences. The absence of government is a serious risk to the financial security of the Greek people and our national existence," President Papoulias declared. (39)

Greek citizens are justifiably worried about the fate of their country, and in response have been withdrawing a large amount of money from the nation's banking system. According to a report by MSNBC, the citizens of Greece withdrew a mind-boggling equivalent of 894 million dollars throughout the course of the day on May 14, 2012. (40)

Unfortunately, it is not just the nation of Greece at risk but all of Europe. These recent developments prompted British Prime Minister David Cameron to issue the following warning, "Greece is on the brink, the survival of the euro is in question." (41)

In closing, I know there is so much more that could be said about the troubling times which we live in. With so much chaos and uncertainty in our world today, I cannot help but long for the return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If you ever find yourself worn down by the cares of this life, I urge you to draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you. We need His strength to get through the days ahead. Thank you to all who so generously support this ministry. As always, we at Last Trumpet Ministries will strive to serve you faithfully as we draw ever closer to that glorious day when our Saviour returns. If you have any prayer requests, please feel welcome to send them our way. We always give each request individual attention. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bilderberg 2012: the technocrats are rising at this year's annual conference

Our man at Bilderberg is back for a fourth year and has touched down in Chantilly for the 2012 gathering. The shadowy elite leaders' conference starts tomorrow, so what's on the agenda?

It's all change at Bilderberg this year, with a new chairman, new media and Occupy Bilderberg knocking at the gates.

Everything's set. The hotel is being primped and hoovered, the security is arriving, the press is nowhere to be seen, and I just had a really boring crab salad. It's shaping up to be a vintage Bilderberg.

We were lunching in the Palm Court restaurant of the Westfields Marriott hotel, in Chantilly, Virginia. A few days from now, this hotel will be dripping with billionaires and bankers, industry CEOs and finance ministers, here for the annual Bilderberg summit. "The leaders of the world are coming to our hotel", beams one member of staff. "Are you here for the brunch?"

We are. Most of the other guests have left by now. The hotel is edging towards lockdown. All that's left is a team of nervy conference organizer who start filming us with their iPhones, several dozen security operatives, me, my wife and a really rather boring 'spook', brunching on an adjacent table.

He droned on for the full length of a crab salad about his "internal and external drivers", about how "I got a panel of three-star admirals together" to secure a "$30m contract" and how "CACI excels in capture management".

He talked fondly of CACI International Inc (a giant defense contractor), although more recently he's had "a nice success rate with Booz Allen" (another giant defense contractor). His world was the deathly dull blur between the federal government and private defense corporations. The grim feeding trough of "systems solutions", "security logistics" and "mission assurance". My crab ended just as he was declaring, wisely: "When you leave the navy and you go to a contractor, you say: what's my mission?"

His mission for the next week or so is to keep the queen of the Netherlands, the chairman of Barclays, and the chairman, vice-chairman and CEO of Shell Oil safe and sound for a three-day conference. The hotel is encircled by the offices of the world's largest arms' manufacturers, 15 minutes up the road from the headquarters of the CIA. I suspect they'll be OK.
Welcome to Chantilly: a little bit of paradise on earth. Photograph: Charlie Skelton for the Guardian
The Bilderberg conference was last here in Chantilly, at the exact same godforsaken spot, back in 2008 – which, like 2012, was a US election year, and the moment the current economic woes really started hitting the fan. You might remember, it was the year when then-senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton paid a flying visit to Bilderberg (aka 'an event in northern Virginia'), after shaking off the press pack during the Democratic presidential campaign. AP had the story:


"Reporters travelling with Obama sensed something might be happening between the pair might when they arrived at Dulles International Airport after an event in northern Virginia and Obama was not aboard the airplane."

You can watch the hilarious footage of Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary, trying (and failing) to placate a furious press corp, who found themselves tricked aboard a flight to Chicago. "Others had a desire to meet with him in a private way," he explains. This is an extraordinary admission from Gibbs – "others" clicked their fingers, and Obama came running, with Hillary in tow.

Bill Clinton was introduced to the political big league at Bilderberg 1991. The man who introduced him was Vernon Jordan, a lawyer, civil rights activist and currently board member of Lazard investment bank. Speaking last year about the occasion, Jordan recalls:


"In 1991, I took Bill Clinton to the Bilderberg meetings in Baden Baden, Germany. Bilderberg meetings have been going on since 1954, sort of the North-American / European Alliance."

Later, after Clinton won the election:


"The steering committee of Bilderberg came to Washington in January, and I called the president up and I said 'Mr President, they're here' – and he came to the Four Seasons hotel, and the Europeans felt like they owned him because they met him when he was totally unknown."

That's interesting: a meeting of the Bilderberg steering committee at the Four Seasons in Washington? In January? But according to Bilderberg's official website, "Bilderberg's only activity is its annual conference".

As for this year's election, rumours are already circulating about Bilderberg and presidential running mates, sparked off by a Washington Post report back in April on the matter of Republican senator Marco Rubio's speech at the Summit of the Americas:


"[John] Edwards gave a speech in June 2004 at the Bilderberg conference that was widely credited as one reason John Kerry chose him."

Aside from the US presidency, the big debate of Bilderberg 2012 is likely to be: what in Hades do we do about Greece? The Eurozone is Bilderberg's biggest project, but it's been looking distinctly shaky of late. What's to be done? You can feel the unwillingness of Bilderberg to countenance a 'Grexit' in the stern words of Bilderberg spokesperson, the UK member of parliament for Rushcliffe, Kenneth Clarke. To leave the Euro, says Clarke, would be "disastrous" for the Greeks. "If they get a hopeless lot of rather cranky extremists elected at the next election then they will default on their debt." Clarke took the time to brand eurosceptic British MPs "right-wing nationalists", and euroscepticism itself "irresponsible".

Clarke's most telling remark is that: "It's going to take a crisis, an absolute crisis, to make Europe's leaders act." This week's Economist magazine agrees: "For the past six decades, steps forward to greater European union have taken place at moments of incipient crisis."


"A consensus is slowly emerging that, whether a Greek exit is to be averted or weathered, there will have to be a greater level of integration in the euro zone, with tighter constraints on the freedom of national governments."

This message, that out of the struggle will come a new strength, seems to be the Bilderbergian line. For example, EU Commissioner Joaquin Almunia (whom we spotted at Bilderberg 2010) says we need now to "reinforce the European Parliament's role" which "will also strengthen the role of the [EU] Commission". So his solution to the crisis: "I need a bigger office."

The Economist says that if the "elite venture" of Europe is to survive and thrive, "Europe's elites" have got their work cut out. It ventures to give the elites some "unashamedly technocratic" advice on how to forge their closer union, but it needn't worry, the technocrats of Bilderberg seems to have the matter in hand. Mario Monti (unelected Italian PM, Bilderberg steering committee) said this week: "Europe can have euro bonds soon."

But we're not in Europe now, we're in Chantilly, and the CIA is just up the road from the conference venue, so protestors had better stay on their best behaviour. And we're expecting plenty of them – gathering under the activist umbrella: "Occupy Bilderberg"

What a difference a year makes. Occupy Bilderberg? I love it. The Occupy movement seems finally to have realised that the problem isn't the 1%, it's the 0.001%. It's the guys and gals and whatever David Rockefeller is who are meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, at the end of the week. Many hundreds of protestors have pledged to show up. And who knows, they may just manage to drag the mainstream news media with them.

Historically, one of the biggest problems people have had with Occupy is that its aims and demands have been a little, shall we say, "diffuse". Not the case with Occupy Bilderberg. That's the nail getting hit squarely on the head. Occupy Bilderberg is keyhole activism. Picking the exact right spot and sticking the scissors in.

"We refuse to pay for the banks' crisis" was the cry from OccupyLSX back in the autumn. They demanded an end to "our democracy representing corporations instead of the people." What Bilderberg represents is the fact that our democracy IS our corporations. And politics is just the wake behind a shark fin.

Time to go fishing.

Dumbing Down through Chemtrails, HD TV, and Food

omer Dumbing Down through Chemtrails, HD TV, and Food
Individuals that are slightly aware of the evil dynamics of our era agree that there is a deliberate effort to dumb-down society. The ruling wealthy elite have created foundations, policies, and control the essentials of the earthly infrastructure. An eye of awareness can easily observe that there is a major transformation occurring. The common majorities are fat, lazy, incompetent and completely struggle As technology advances and as the era approaches the
activation of The New World Order there should be without-a-doubt that humanity is being dumbed down into mindless zombies. The dumbing down consists of damaging the brain powered ability to trouble shoot, impair judgment abilities, and to lower the IQ. Also, manipulating the brian into a depressive state through the entrainment of the atmosphere, manipulated foods and beverages, prolonged HD TV watching, video and handheld gaming, chemtrails spraying the atmosphere from aircraft, medication, vaccines, and creating a lifestyle of ease that generates a lazy mind and obesity.

Chemtrials:

Chemtrails are chemicals in the air that are sprayed and spread into the atmosphere from planes flying overhead. Jets automatically produce contrails from 33,000 feet when the hot engine exhaust momentarily conduces ice crystals producing a thin vapor. Chemtrails produces thick cloud smoke and extend across the sky and can last for hours.

Solid proof is not available that chemtrails exist and is know as a “conspiracy theory”. No agency has yet claimed responsibility for chemtrails, their purpose and composition remain a mystery. However, former FBI Chief Ted Gunderson has stated that he has personally witnessed the spread of chemtrails and he is now blowing the whistle on the government about these harmful chemtrails. Also, a first governmental acknowledgement of its kind, a public official from Cleveland, Ohio has referenced “chemtrails” in a bill put before congress. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D) has submitted bill no. HR 2977 IH , which proposed a ban on the weaponization of space back in 2001. One of the weapons systems listed in the bill is “chemtrails”. The use of this term is significant because until now, all reported governmental inquiries into this issue have been dismissed or denied.

The best way to detox yourself is with the natural product “Liquid Zeolite“.

Heavy Metals:

Metals are one of the worst toxins for the human body. Mercury, Lead, and Aluminum are the most common metals humans are exposed to, and can be difficult to avoid because they are found within everyday life. There could be a possibility that metals are spread thorough the Chemtrails.

“Chronically sick people are more useful than dead people” How so, a rational person might wonder? If you are chronically sick, then you need expensive drugs and you are easier to enslave.

To battle against the dumbing down process avoid processed foods, animal products to the best of your ability, and especially fast foods. Because of the manipulations of foods, a person would highly benefit by eating raw foods and buy a juicer and learn to juice.

HD TV:

Small televisions existed since 1929, technology research started back in 1884 with the rotating disk, however the first Home Television entered the human lifestyle in 1950. The American Broadcasting Company first aired Saturday morning TV shows for children on August 19, 1950. Cable television, formerly known as Community Antenna Television or CATV, was born in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the late 1940′s. The first successful color television system began commercial broadcasting on December 17, 1953 based on a system designed by RCA. Color TV was by no means a new idea, a German patent in 1904 contained the earliest proposal, while in 1925 Zworykin filed a patent disclosure for an all-electronic color television system. A successful color television system began commercial broadcasting, first authorized by the FCC on December 17, 1953 based on a system invented by RCA.

High Definition remarkably dates back to the late 1930, but these systems were only HD compared to earlier systems. HDTV technology was introduced in the United States in the 1990s by the Digital HDTV Grand Alliance, a group of television, electronic equipment, communications companies and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The first broadest occurred on July 23, 1996 in America.

The High Definition Televisionis everywhere in the western world. Restaurants, waiting rooms, banks lobbies, cop orations, and several other odd places are erecting high definition televisions. Humanity is obsessed with watching TV around the world. Even poor families have a TV within the house and most with satalite disk television. HD TV is not all over the world, but the television is.
Viewing a High Definition Television is extremely clear and precise that it seems like real life From personal observation, people that watch HD TV seemed glued and spoiled and much more lazy. People seem much more addicted to their HD TV’s, I have met and visited with some people that say they could never live without HD. I believe HD TV is one of the main reasons why over 60% of Americans are over weight, inadequate, fearful of their shadow and lazy with a non-caring attitude. HD TV contributes to dumbing down society through mind control. Next they will be offering 3D Televisions.

Samsung released a 3D TV warning, even before the product is available:
* If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D pictures and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children about the above symptoms as children and teenagers may be more likely to experience these symptoms than adults.
* Viewing in 3D mode may also cause motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, eye strain, and decreased postural stability. It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to lessen the likelihood of these effects. If you have any of the above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume until the symptoms have subsided.
* We do not recommend watching 3D if you are in bad physical condition, need sleep or have been drinking alcohol.
The 3D TV manufacturers think there’s an issue here. According to them, you shouldn’t drink a beer if you’re watching the football in 3D – that could be dangerous.

Additional dumbing down tactics:

  • Video games
  • Handheld Gaming
  • Large Amounts of Caffeine and Energy Drinks
  • All Fast Food that includes processed and can foods
  • Animal products, focus on vegan and raw foods
  • Poor quality bread with yeast—eat more flat breads
  • Non-filtered water
  • Laziness: a worldwide epidemic
  • Worldly Behaviors and Attitudes

If you are an observer with an open mind there should be no doubt that the American culture is experiencing decay including other countries. The dumbing down of the mind is occurring throughout the world. Most people live in fear with a low self-esteem. The majorities feel inadequate and experience deep feelings of uncertainty. Humanity continues to live on survival mode concerned only for themselves and in fear of the future. Continually progressing to an awaken state may be difficult because the Lower Entities want you dumbed down and under their deception. Breaking out of the matrix and pursuing Independent Spirituality will require inner strength. With a steadfast intention and focus within the moment of consciousness your reality will shift and you will began to observe that over 90% of the population experiences a dumbed-down reality.
