Dropping shoes

I thought I’d conduct a bit of a rambling commentary today about things that are, well, disturbing about our world.

In my previous posts earlier this year, I wrote on David Wilkerson’s vision of an impending calamity that would visit the United States and the world. He couched his letter to all believers in terms of our cities being engulfed in flames. Riots like the ones in Watts years ago will rampage across our country and the world because God’s wrath is upon us.

He advised all believers to put away a store of goods, a thirty-day supply of food and to pray earnestly for God’s direction whether to “run to the hills” or to hunker down. We are now in October heading into November and the signs on the horizon are a little more than disturbing.

We feel that our freedoms and liberties are being usurped by our government; we feel more tense, holding our breaths when whispers of calamities are heard but not seen around the corner; when conflagrations spark in a foreign land, we wonder if those fires will start wafting our way.

We are stepping on emotional pins and needles, or eggshells if you rather. Racial relations seem to be fraying at the edges not in small part due to how easily our leaders and prominent men and women thrust around accusations of racism. A lot of us feel we SHOULD look over our figurative shoulders but are afraid of what we might find standing there. We’re waiting for the other shoe to drop, and many of us aren’t sure what will happen or what WE’LL DO if it does.

So, what do I mean when I speak of the other shoe dropping?

Let me give you an example. With almost everyone I know, when I talk to them alone confesses to me their fear that the world is going to end– soon. We usually speak in hushed whispers, somewhat self-conscious of the possibility that others within hearing distance may stamp us as hysterical la-la lunatics. What they don’t know is that I’ve usually had a similar conversation with the other person a week or a couple months ago.

Even self-professed atheists confess to being afraid that the world is going to end soon, and many of those brushing off these fears say so with a conviction not derived from a supreme confidence that it won’t happen, but an urgent hope that it will not. Significantly, the atheists I encountered didn’t usually cite Global Warming as the cause of the fears. It’s usually something subterranean, shadowy, something nameless they can’t identify.

Many of them talk of December 21st, 2012, nuclear war, viral pandemics, mass starvation, mass deaths, etc. and this is reflected in our movies. 2012 the movie is about to be released next month, so is Cormac McCarthy’s The Road– both are hardly movies of holiday cheer.

In any case, we all sense that a major, tectonic shift is about to occur. What form it will take is not clear. I, for one, still hope for a Christian revival across America whatever happens to the rest of the world… I also don’t think it’s the Apocalypse just yet. These are just the beginning of our sorrows. Let no man deceive you by any means whatsoever, says the Good Book. These are but the birth pangs. The show could conceivably begin 20 years from now, regardless of what happens here in America.

Hybrid Children

Just a short note.

It’s been reported that bizarre occurrences are happening around the country in which pale blonde-haired, blue-eyed children are approaching and, at least in some cases, assaulting the homes of random people. The fact that blonde-haired, blue-eyed children are knocking on people’s doors are in of itself insignificant. What is significant, however, is how these children are asking– no– demanding to be let into people’s homes.

It’s just one of those spiritual laws. Evil has to be invited in to gain a foothold in one’s life. Evil might be able to eventually kill you, but it can’t touch your soul if you stand resolute with Jesus. And these so-called children are demanding to be let in.

Accompanying the presence of these children, people also report of being under acute spiritual oppression and that the children feel otherworldly.

I rather suspect that these are the hybrid children honest ufologists have referred to. The Star Children, if you prefer. They are the products of the E.B.E.’s attempts to fuse human DNA with demonic or so-called “alien” genetic material. In a previous age, these kinds fusions were called the Nephilim, freak E.B.E. experiments that produced giants.

The last time something like this occurred, God destroyed the world with the Great Flood. Seems fitting that the soiling of our blood should happen again at the end.

Reflections on a crazy world

Yesterday before leaving the house, I saw a cluster of squirrels running in frenzied circles in the middle of the street.  It so happens that my little insignificant corner of the neighborhood tends to be a local hub for animals.  Not least among the various animals that pay us visits are hyperactive squirrels, but I rarely see them congregating in the middle of the street. Why?

My eyes soon settled on the reason. He was unmoving. His paws were upturned and his legs splayed in the air, more inert than relaxed. That’s when I realized that the pack of squirrels running around the street were running around in circles around their fallen friend. They squawked or screamed or uttered whatever it is that squirrels utter when a car passed by. Most drivers carefully navigated the road and wheeled around the dead squirrel. Other more unscrupulous drivers barreled down the two lane road like an undeterred NASCAR (for some reason people like to treat the road in front of my home as though it were a racetrack).

I don’t know what killed the poor squirrel. It didn’t look flattened like the way most animals look after their first and sometimes final encounter with a moving vehicle. It just looked dead.

The entire affair appeared curious to me. What drew my attention was not the fact that something had killed a squirrel but how his compadres reacted to his death. Perhaps I’m anthropomorphizing creatures that are little more than large rodents, but there seemed genuine grief among them and perhaps even anger. The way they guarded the body; the way the kept watch on the side of the road; how one of them perched himself atop a split rail fence nearby… Their behavior seemed very unusual for what I figured to be a cute but dumb creature.

All this got me thinking about the crazy world we live in and mortality itself. That same morning my friend told me that Iran is conducting the full mobilization of their military and aiming all their SAS missiles and on oil sites in the Mideast, while Russia was simultaneously ordering NATO to stop their acts of aggression in the Caucuses (We are having wargames with Georgia at the moment.). I also thought of how Israel as publicly stated that it will not countenance a nuclear Iran and that force will be applied if necessary.

We seem to be on the cusp of the Magog War foretold in our Bible. The news outlets are conducting infantile game shows and quizzes in what is becoming more and more like a Howard Beale variety show. I would not be terribly surprised if they start bringing on the panel Madame Gisele the psychic complete with her crystal ball.

How odd that apocalpyse is creeping up on us with such banality? It seems that not many people are the wiser…

All those Swines

A friend of mine asked about this bird flu yesterday and wondered if there is a something more to it than meets the eye.

Here was my response:

… It would seem as though it is not just swine flu. Swine flu is just a catch-all descriptor of something else. Apparently, this “Swine Flu” is a confluence of some kind of bird flu, the common cold flu AND swine flu, which makes its communicability level really high.

I am also thinking of conspiracy theories given how a month ago Baxter, a drug company, sent out LIVE H5N1 bird flu to dozens of labs around the world and specifically instructed those labs to mix the deadly virus with other viruses and the common cold. Quarantine procedures dictate that it’s mandatory to kill any kind of virus before transporting it anywhere. Luckily, some scientist out in Eastern Europe ran a precautionary test and exposed a ferret to the supposedly dead virus and later noticed that the ferret croaked. We got lucky that round because that could have potentially killed a billion people on the planet. This makes me wonder if they got to all those containers shipped out last month…

Want to know another shocker? Guess who is tapped to develop the anti-viral drug to counteract this “Swine Flu”? Baxter. Yes, the same company that “accidentally” shipped out the LIVE bird flu last month to 12 different countries.

This is the original article about the “accident“.

And this is the article about how Baxter is working on the vaccine.

Given their level of competence of late, I’m not filled with joy at the prospect.

If all this was done innocently without conscious deliberation, at the very least, the entire chain of command should be cashier on the spot with their complete incompetence.

BUT if not, if some crackpot billionaire with aspirations to kill billions of people as the Georgia Guidestones would suggest, then we’re in a heap of trouble. Those stones aspire to reduce the human population to their ideal number of 500 million. There are close to 7 billion people living in the world right now.

So, what percentage does that work out to? Can your mind wrap itself around that number?

Correction:

Baxter did not just send out H5N1 bird flu to labs worldwide just for experimentation. Apparently, they distributed vaccines to 18 different countries for the regular flu. The snafu in all this is that these vaccines have been contaminated with the H5N1.

One Czech newspapers worded it like this:

“Was this just a criminal negligence or it was an attempt to provoke pandemia using vaccination against flu to spread the disease – as happened with the anti-B hepatitis vaccination with vaccines containing the HIV virus in US? – and then cash for the vaccines against H5N1 which Baxter develops? How could on Earth a virus as H5N1 come to the ordinary flu vaccines? Don’t they follow even basic precautions in the american pharma companies?”

More sighs and grumblings…

I woke up this morning wondering what new, inventive outrage the world has on the agenda today.

So, let’s see outrage number one:

Schenectady mayor considers options, martial law over police woes

Schenectady Police Chief Mark Chaires said, “This is unprecedented – all these officers getting in trouble at the same time for all these different reasons. …

… But it’s not just the threat of termination. Mayor Stratton told us he’s looking at all options, including disbanding the police department – basically starting over.

The mayor said there is another option – and that would be declaring martial law. The governor would have to declare it and then the National Guard would come in. The mayor said it’s more for a transition to a new police force if that were to happen.

He said, “It may be that as a stopgap measure, that you would need military forces – State Police, National Guard.”

Mayor Stratton said the temporary measure would last until the new police force took over.

Schenectady’s Corporation Counsel John Van Norden said, “If you abolish the police department you still have a need – not an obligation – but a need to police the community. You would need something in transition. Declaring martial law would be one way to bridge the gap.”

So that’s the first outrage I saw today while scannning the news. The idea of a city mayor tinkering with the idea of martial law because of the city’s corruption is incredible to me. How lightly, how easily we discuss the loss of our freedoms because that’s what martial law means. It means the limitation of everyone’s movements and freedoms to impose order on a populace.

The police chief of Schenectady, Chief Chaires, said it clearly. “When I think of martial law, I think of rioting. I think of Watts riots and things like that. I haven’t seen anything that rises to that level. I was a little surprised to hear that.”

Outrage number two comes from across the Atlantic:

UK population must fall to 30m, says Porritt

JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society.

Porritt’s call will come at this week’s annual conference of the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which he is patron.

The trust will release research suggesting UK population must be cut to 30m if the country wants to feed itself sustainably.

Porritt said: “Population growth, plus economic growth, is putting the world under terrible pressure.

“Each person in Britain has far more impact on the environment than those in developing countries so cutting our population is one way to reduce that impact.” …

However, Porritt is winning scientific backing. Professor Chris Rapley, director of the Science Museum, will use the OPT conference, to be held at the Royal Statistical Society, to warn that population growth could help derail attempts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

So, this is Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s “leading green advisors”, is he? This man just suggested that 50% of Britian’s estimated 61 million people be eliminated somehow in the name of saving the environment.

Just how does this land lover aim to achieve this? Perhaps like Prince Phillip, the Queen’s husband, Porritt would like to reincarnate as a virus and kill 90% of the global human population.

His reasoning is about as perverse as it gets. In order to have “sustainable” “healthy” living in Britain, you have to eliminate, liquidate, get rid of, deport, kill or eugenically abort HALF OF THE BRITISH POPULATION so that the other half can live in peaceful commune with nature.

Somehow, the people advocating this don’t seem to believe that it will be them that’ll get the short end of the rope. Well, I suppose their chances are 50/50…

Third Outrage of the day:

U.S. Seeks Expanded Power to Seize Firms

The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document.

The government at present has the authority to seize only banks.

Giving the Treasury secretary authority over a broader range of companies would mark a significant shift from the existing model of financial regulation, which relies on independent agencies that are shielded from the political process. The Treasury secretary, a member of the president’s Cabinet, would exercise the new powers in consultation with the White House, the Federal Reserve and other regulators, according to the document.

The administration plans to send legislation to Capitol Hill this week. Sources cautioned that the details, including the Treasury’s role, are still in flux.

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner is set to argue for the new powers at a hearing today on Capitol Hill about the furor over bonuses paid to executives at American International Group, which the government has propped up with about $180 billion in federal aid. Administration officials have said that the proposed authority would have allowed them to seize AIG last fall and wind down its operations at less cost to taxpayers.

Just so we’re absolutely clear about this.

The government who caused this financial crisis by allowing (ordering?) Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac give out sub-prime loans to people who can’t pay for them, who allowed the derivative game to get so out of hand that banks “leveraged” (lending out money they don’t have) our financial system into near bankruptcy, who passed a trillion dollar “stimulus bill” that NO ONE HAS READ, who specifically inserted the clause in the stimulus bill that gave AIG the right to hand out these hundred million bonuses even as they, our government, handed foreign billionaires roughly 200 billion dollars for free these past couple weeks… and that’s not yet talking about the $9 trillion dollars the Federal Reserve just printed and handed to God knows who?…

You want that government to have MORE POWER?!

Maybe I need to go watch Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music or eat some fruit–something to calm myself down in what looks like a deliberate and contrived collapse of my country.

Maybe some hot coffee or tea will help… but then again, did I expect the End of Days to be filled with virtue, piety and temperance? As Christians, we knew this was coming, and now here it is…

You may well ask, “What do we do?”

Pray. Pray and talk to Jesus like you life and soul depended on it… because it does. The devil may kill you in the end, but your soul will belong to Jesus, and who will pry you out of His Hand?

Scripture said that in the last days, the rich will pile and hoard wealth while denying the workers their wages even as Jesus approaches. Indeed, He is at the very door. Come Lord Jesus. Amen.
