The book and this article points out in much detail the Marxist Leftist agenda that is successfully subverting the West. You will not understand what is going on in the United States and the world today without understanding these issues. The author concludes that once these global socialist elements achieve significant positions of power within the United States, they will proceed with their plans to destroy Western civilization.</p>
<p><strong>I have news.</strong> They have already taken over our educational system and the mainstream media and through lies of thousands of leftist groups they have just convinced enough people in the United States to vote in a socialist national government. So obviously the rest of their agenda is now a foregone concussion especially since we see that our youth, the simple, the rebels, the covetous, the lazy, the criminal, the drug addicts, the TV addicts, the game addicts, the sports addicts, the sex addicts, the self centered religion addicts and so on and so forth are already indoctrinated. They are already actively subverting this nation and the West or are so blinded by their lusts or so bankrupt of values that they are totally apathetic toward the subversion that is taking place.</p>
<p><strong>By the time most people in the West take notice they will be slaves of an all powerfully global collective ant farm run by elite fascist predators.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/11/shadow_world_resurgent_russia.html">American Thinker: Shadow World: Resurgent Russia, The Global New Left, and Radical Islam</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Shadow World:  Resurgent Russia, The Global New Left, and Radical Islam</strong><br />
By Robert Chandler<br />
Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2008<br />
622 pp., $29.95</p>
<p>The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 is viewed by the West as the end of the Cold War and the death knell for Communism. In reality, Communists continued to push for the same ultimate goal &#8212; creating a socialist world order &#8212; but their violent Marxist-Leninist revolutionary tactics were supplanted by an insidious cultural Marxism. Today, that push has evolved into a Moscow-led,  global strategic quadrangle consisting of Russia, China, Iran and a collection of Latin American dictatorships.</p>
<p>The West is also threatened by a fifth column of global, radical Leftists with ideological connections to Russia and the theo-political-legal ideology of radical Islam. All of these antagonists, including the Russians, cultural Marxists and Salafists/Wahhabists, employ terrorist tactics but largely conceal their agendas. They use clandestine strategies of propaganda, disinformation, subversion and denial through their agents of influence and networks of organizations.</p>
<p>In Shadow World:  Resurgent Russia, The Global New Left, and Radical Islam, Dr. Robert Chandler argues that the West is in the midst of a three-way global competition pitting the future of democratic republics against Marxist totalitarianism and Islamic fundamentalism. Despite their vast ideological differences, Communist Russia, the Far Left and Islamists embrace a common goal: destroying Western civilization.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/11/shadow_world_resurgent_russia.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>In their adherence to the Gramsican formula for anti-capitalist social transformation, the progressive-socialist-Marxists have co-opted with the United Nations to advocate world governance in the interest of &#8220;world peace, human rights and environmental preservation.&#8221; <strong>This is the desired end result of their efforts to undermine American heritage, destroy Christianity and conspire against free-market democracy to achieve global taxation, the end of sovereignty, a world military and an international criminal court.</strong></p>
<p>Gramscian Marxists aspire to a borderless global society under the aegis of the United Nations that will bring about a socialist utopian universe that protects the global environment, fosters universal human rights and world peace and offers global citizenship and international institutions for a better world. The sacrifice of individual liberty and the horrific failures of U.N. interventions to prevent worldwide genocide in Cambodia, Uganda, Rwanda and Darfur are not addressed.</p>
<p>Falsely stating that sovereign states cause war and unrest, globalists advocate world citizenship, global governance and legislation, universal gun control, an end to national sovereignty, economic redistribution and an international criminal court system. They malign the U.S. sovereignty and liberties enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence as obstacles to global peace.</p>
<p>The soldiers of this world-government ideology and the agents of the United Nations are the non-governmental organizations (NGO&#8217;s), accountable to no one but whose aim is to supplant national sovereignty with U.N. programs. Over 3,000 NGO&#8217;s take over where governments fall short. They have increasingly monopolized international meetings, rejected democracies and free market systems while pushing environmentalism, multiculturalism, wealth redistribution and nuclear disarmament. They have tried to shift the focus of world attention to humanitarian needs over national security concerns. But their real agenda of opposing the West is revealed by their attacks on Western militaries and their silence on de facto terrorist groups that provide terrorist training to children and indoctrinate them to hate.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/11/shadow_world_resurgent_russia.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The United States is at a critical juncture in its history faced with threats from international Marxists, an internal socialist movement and global jihadists. Once any of these elements achieves significant positions of power within the United States, they will proceed with their plans to destroy Western civilization. Our freedom, sovereignty and way of life could be extinguished by any of these forces that are acting against our democratic republic. Robert Chandler&#8217;s warnings in Shadow World must be heeded if we are to survive.</p>

Bush, Obama and the entire Congress are now making the same mistakes that brought us to this crises in the first place and they are now multiplying those mistakes exponentially. Their misguided unconstitutional treasonous policies can only bring this nation down. Within two years the United States will either default on its debts or within five years the USA will inflate their way to the same end result. The consequences to this nation will mean the loss of its superpower status in the world, a break up of the Union and a living standard for most in North America that is comparable to that of Mexico today. People of the world will all soon be singing in bitter sweet memory about the economic night the Keynesians brought the Old Yankee gravy train down. Without the U.S. their own nightmare will have just begun.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=82139">Socialist Republic</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>With U.S. homeowners, consumers, companies and banks now going bust, why must the nation borrow trillions more to bail them out? So we can maintain our status and standard of living as the last superpower.</p>
<p>Bush and Obama are competing to shovel out trillions of dollars, so we can return to the good times of yesterday.</p>
<p>But wasn&#8217;t yesterday the root cause of today? Didn&#8217;t saving nothing and spending more than we earn, purchasing what we cannot afford in cars, consumer goods and houses, buying far more from abroad than we sell abroad – didn&#8217;t that cause this crisis and crash?</p>
<p>A family man in America&#8217;s condition, awash in debt, spending more than he makes, would cut back consumption, find a second job and get out of debt. Or declare bankruptcy, accept the shame and humiliation, change his wastrel ways and start anew.</p>
<p>Is it different for a nation?</p>
<p><strong>Yet we seem to believe we can borrow and spend our way out of a swamp of unpayable debt into which borrowing and spending have plunged us.</strong></p>
<p>We are headed either for default on our debts and bankruptcy as a nation, or something less honorable: a quiet cheapening of the debts we have incurred by inflating and destroying the dollar, robbing our creditors<br />
of what we owe them and robbing our own people of the value of what they have earned. And so it has come to this.</p>
<p>What would the Founding Fathers think of us now?</p>

There always is a chance that there could be something to that speculation although I think Obama would have to be briefed and approve of it or Israel will have even greater problems with the Obama administration.</p>
<p>There is a small chance Obama advisors could tell him to approve this to give him some breathing room before he really has to deal with a nuclear Iran. He would still have to deal with it because any Israel strike would be limited and would only delay the Iran nuclear program one to five years depending on the amount of damage.</p>
<p>I am not at all certain that Evans is reading this right. The meeting could be just to make sure there <strong>will not be</strong> a strike on Iran by Israel during this transition period and on discussion points on how the next administrations should go forward.</p>
<p>Any attack on Iran would certainly open a new can of worms that would take all the time of the next administrations while they are in the middle of a financial crises. Hezbollah and their 42,000 rockets would have to be dealt with and I do not think Israel or the U.S. are ready to deal with the consequences that would bring at this time.</p>
<p>While it is true that Obama and his administration will attempt to handcuff Israel after Obama takes office. If Benjamin Netanyahu is elected as prime minister of Israel he is not going to be anyone&#8217;s patsy. Israel will do what Israel thinks it needs to do. Now that Iran has enough enriched uranium for one bomb (should then go forward to build one) and is likely to be able to produce enough material for two to three more bombs within a year the window on Iran is indeed short. Certainly Iran will have to agree to international inspections of their facilities to make sure they are not building bombs or they will be hit within two years. The real question is how much more development and know how will Israel allow Iran to obtain before it acts. Facilities can be destroyed but once they have acquired the know how, the nuclear weapons program can be rebuilt rapidly.</p>
<p>When considering just the nuclear program alone the earlier Iran is hit the better but when dealing with political realities of the Middle East a war that occurs between the transfer of administrations is a whole other matter. If a war were to break out the Israel elections would not even take place on schedule.</p>
<p>There is also the issue of world oil prices and the consequences to the world economy that is in crises. Any strike on Iran would raise oil prices dramatically. That might end some of the deflation in the world in the short term but it will make things even worse in the long term.</p>
<p>Therefore, It is my opinion that Israel will not strike Iran prior to the inauguration of President-elect<a id="KonaLink1" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline ! important; position: static;" href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81971#" target="undefined"></a> Barack Obama. If someone could show a creditable movement to increase U.S air strength in the gulf it might be more believable. I also do not believe that Israeli use of low yield nuclear weapons to stop nuclear weapon development by Iran is at all likely. The international consequences would be totally unacceptable.</p>
<p>We will not have long to find out if Evens is right or wrong since all we have left is a five week window.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81971">Israelis meet with Bush on Iran attack</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Israelis meet with Bush on Iran attack<br />
Posted: November 26, 2008<br />
1:00 am Eastern</p>
<p>© 2008</p>
<p>Why would a prime minister who has resigned and is leaving office in eight weeks meet with a lame-duck president who is also leaving office in eight weeks?</p>
<p>Ehud Olmert resigned as prime minister on Sept. 21, 2008. He currently fills the seat until general elections take place on Feb. 10, 2009. There is no reason for a lame-duck president and an equally lame-duck prime minister to meet except to pursue the above-stated purpose.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81971"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Time magazine quoted an &#8220;unnamed Israeli source at the Defense Ministry&#8221; as having said, &#8220;We have been warned off.&#8221; It has been hinted in the past by IDF officials that Israel may launch a pre-emptive strike on nuclear facilities in Iran prior to the Jan. 20, 2009 inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. No Israel Defense Forces general would ever say that unless it were officially approved. Why did he say it? So when Israel attacks, the U.S. will not be blamed.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81971"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Because of the fact that Iran has just announced that enough centrifuges are online to build an atomic bomb, Israel feels that the emergency is now. Former Israel Chief of Staff Moshe Ya&#8217;alon, who endorsed my book &#8220;Showdown with Nuclear Iran,&#8221; calling it the &#8220;most extensive book on the subject,&#8221; has told me that under no circumstance would Israel hold back once Iran has enough centrifuges to build the bomb. Israel knows Obama will not allow them to attack once he takes office. The only way they can attack is to do so before the inauguration, while they have the support of George Bush.</p>
<p>On Monday, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State<br />
Condoleezza Rice also met with Olmert. The secular media has reported that these were social visits only. I assure you that vice presidents and secretaries of state did not have private meetings for social purposes only.</p>
<p>Ehud Olmert met Secretary of State Rice for breakfast at Blair House and also held private, strategic meetings with Dick Cheney. The prime minister came seeking permission from George Bush to attack Iran&#8217;s nuclear reactors during the next six weeks prior to President-elect Obama&#8217;s inauguration, and most likely in December.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81971"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>In retaliation for a military strike on Iran, Hezbollah would undoubtedly launch rocket attacks on Israel from Lebanon. Hamas would probably launch rocket attacks from the Gaza. We might even see a resumption of the suicide bombers penetrating Israel&#8217;s cities.</p>
<p>Defense Minister Ehud Barak has stated that Hezbollah tripled its arms strength following the 2006 war in Lebanon. According to Barak, the Iranian proxy now has some 42,000 rockets, some with the capability of striking Ashkelon, Yerucham and Dimona (Israel&#8217;s nuclear sites.)</p>
<p>Even if the United States did not directly participate in an Israeli air strike on Iran, we would have to allow Israeli jets airspace rights over Iraq. This would be enough to argue that America was &#8220;complicit&#8221; in an Israeli air attack on Iran. The U.S. might also have to refuel Israeli jets involved in an air strike on Iran. The newest fighters in Israel&#8217;s attack force are the Lockheed-Martin manufactured F-16I Soufa (&#8221;Storm&#8221;) fighters. The second mainstay of the IAF is the 1990s Boeing-built (originally McDonnell Douglas) F-15I Ra&#8217;am (&#8221;Eagle&#8221;) fighter planes. Both aircraft have a strike radius that should extend to targets in Iran without having to be refueled.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=81971"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>A showdown with a nuclear Iran is imminent. Though we might all wish for the crisis to pass, I fear the moment is at hand where the reality of a nuclear-armed Iran is inevitably upon us all. I pray that we get through the coming test with distinction. I pray that the crisis passes, and that Israel continues to thrive and the United States of America continues to be strong.</p>

Berman starts with a little recent world history in Germany and then make a parallel to the present economic crises in the United States and the election of a man who speaks great things but offers little but platitudes. Dr. Berman believes there is a parallel here to Germany that should be obvious. However, this time it will lead to global governance and the tyranny of world fascism.</p>
<p>Of course to me it is obvious that this is where we are heading. Even if the U.S. somehow had a radical change back to constitutional government (highly unlikely), the facts are that the rest of the world is already too far gone. One thing you can take to the world bank tomorrow is that every real, perceived, manipulated or false crises will be used by the global socialists to bring the world more under their tyrannical socialist fascist control.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.christianworldviewnetwork.com/article.php/4215/Brannon-Howse/By-Rev-Dr-David-M-Berman-ThD">Christian Worldview Network - Brannon Howse - Crisis Always Creates Opportunities For Tyranny</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>“The Sky is falling, the sky is falling”….What happens to people when they believe “the sky is falling” is quite remarkable. For many the human condition is such that once in a panic, all rational thinking simply disappears. When people believe a disaster is imminent they lose sight of everything including their God given rights. They look around for a leader…any leader that seems to be able to stop the impending catastrophe from occurring. And so we have the history of dictators, despots, and mad men who came to power during crisis.</p>

If anyone can read this interview with Obama and still think that Obama is a Christian. You have denied the faith.

<p><a href="http://www.christianworldviewnetwork.com/article.php/4224/Brannon-Howse/By-Steve-Camp">Christian Worldview Network - Brannon Howse - BARACK OBAMA&#8217;S CHRISTIANITY&#8230;playing politics with God</a></p>
<blockquote><p>In 2004, Chicago Sun Times columnist Cathleen Falsani interviewed Barack Obama about his faith when he was running for U.S. Senate in Illinois. It has proven to be nothing less than controversial. Here are a few excerpts below and would encourage all of you to read the entire transcript.</p>
<p>I believe this powerful interview can serve three purposes for us as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ:</p>
<p>1. To know further how to pray for President-elect Obama and his salvation (1 Tim. 2:1-4).</p>
<p>2. To gain insight into his worldview and how he would govern on key issues surrounding family, faith, and human life convictions such as abortion or euthanasia (Roms. 13:1-7).</p>
<p>3. Lastly, so that we can be prepared and equipped biblically for the coming persecution of genuine believers in the Lord Jesus Christ in our nation who live and proclaim the gospel (1 Peter 4:12-19).</p>

What if Muhammad never really existed and Islam is a Gnostic spiritual teaching masquerading in the Muhammad myth? I do not think that is totally out the question. A man named Muhammad may have existed but the story attributed to him may be a total myth. Imagine the impact that might have on Islam if this view became more widely accepted. To me these types of critical self evaluations will continue and it does not even matter if they are true. They will gain popularity after the defeat of radical Islam opens the door for a more moderate Islam that will fit within the mode of the universal religious pluralism that some elitists are planing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JK18Aa01.html">Asia Times Online :: Asian News, Business and Economy.</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Just such a Teutonic mystic is Professor Muhammad Sven Kalisch, a German convert to Islam who teaches Muslim theology at the University of Munster. Kalisch recently laid a Gnostic egg in the nest of Islam, declaring that the Prophet Mohammed never existed, not at least in the way that the received version of Islamic tradition claims he did. Given that Kalisch holds an academic chair specifically funded to instruct teachers of Islam in Germany&#8217;s school system, a scandal ensued, first reported in the mainstream English-language press by Andrew Higgins in the</p>
<p>On closer reading, Kalisch offers a far greater challenge to Islam than the secular critics who reject its claims. The headline that a Muslim academic has doubts over the existence of the Prophet Mohammed is less interesting than why he has such doubts. Kalisch does not want to harm Islam, but rather to expose what he believes to be its true nature. Islam, he argues, really is a Gnostic spiritual teaching masquerading as myth. Kalisch&#8217;s heretical variant of Islam may be close enough to the religion&#8217;s original intent as to provoke a re-evaluation of the original sources. A labor of love from inside the fortress of Islamic theology may accomplish what all the ballistas of the critics never could from outside the walls. Koranic criticism, I have argued for years (here and elsewhere - You say you want a reformation? Asia Times Online, August 5, 2003) is the Achilles&#8217; heel of the religion. That argument has been made about Christianity for years by Elaine Pagels and other promoters of &#8220;Gnostic Gospels&#8221;, and it is dead wrong. In the case of Islam, though, it might be dead accurate.</p>
<p>Kalisch is a Gnostic, a believer in secret spiritual truths that undergird the myths manufactured for the edification of the peasantry. But he is a German Gnostic, and therefore feels it necessary to lay out his secrets in thorough academic papers with extensive footnotes and bibliography. It is a strange and indirect way of validating the dictum of the great German-Jewish theologian Franz Rosenzweig: Islam is a parody of Judaism and Christianity<br />
.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Kalisch is the first Muslim scholar to dispute the Prophet&#8217;s existence, while continuing to profess Muslim. If the Prophet did not exist, or in any case did not dictate the Koran, &#8220;then it might be that the Koran was truly inspired by God, a great narration from God, but it was not dictated word for word from Allah to the Prophet&#8221;, he told a German newspaper. A German Protestant who converted to Islam as a teenager in search of a religion of reason, Kalisch can live with an alternative of reading of Islam. Very few of the world&#8217;s billion and a half Muslims can.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JK18Aa01.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>t is a striking fact that such documentary evidence as survives from the Sufnayid period makes no mention of the messenger of god at all. The papyri do not refer to him. The Arabic inscriptions of the Arab-Sasanian coins only invoke Allah, not his rasul [messenger]; and the Arab-Byzantine bronze coins on which Muhammad appears as rasul Allah, previously dated to the Sufyanid period, have not been placed in that of the Marwanids. Even the two surviving pre-Marwanid tombstones fail to mention the rasul.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JK18Aa02.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Kalisch also accepts the evidence that no Islamic conquest occurred as presented in much later Islamic sources, but rather a peaceful transfer of power from the Byzantine empire to its local Arab allies.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be sure,&#8221; Kalisch continues, &#8220;various explanations are possible for the lack of mention of the Prophet in the early period, and it is no proof for the non-existence of an historical Mohammed. But it is most astonishing, and begs the question of the significance of Mohammed for the original Muslim congregation in the case that he did exist.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JK18Aa02.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Why, indeed, was the Mohammed story invented, by whom, and to what end? The story of the Hegira, Mohammed&#8217;s flight from Mecca to Medina allegedly in 622, provides a clue, according to Kalisch. &#8220;No prophet is mentioned in the Koran as often as Moses, and Muslim tradition always emphasized the great similarly between Moses and Mohammed,&#8221; he writes. &#8220;The central event in the life of Moses, though, is the Exodus of the oppressed Children of Israel out of Egypt, and the central event in the life of Mohammed is the Exodus of his oppressed congregation out of Mecca to Medina &#8230; The suspicion is great that the Hegira appears only for this reason in the story of the Prophet, because his image should emulate the image of Moses.&#8221;<br />
Furthermore, &#8220;the image of Jesus is also seen as a new Moses. The connection of Mohammed to the figure of Jesus is presented in Islamic tradition through his daughter Fatima, who is identified with Maria &#8230; The Line Fatima-Maria-Isis is well known to research. With the takeover of Mecca, Mohammed at least returns to his point of origin. Thus we have a circular structure typical of myth, in which beginning and end are identical. This Gnostic circular structure represents the concept that the soul returns to its origin. It is separated from its origin, and must return to it for the sake of its salvation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kalisch concludes that Islam itself began as a Gnosis, a secret teaching much like the Gnostic Christian sources rejected by the Church Fathers. &#8220;The myth of Mohammed &#8230; could be the product of a Gnosis, which wanted to present its theology<br />
in a new and original myth with a new protagonist, but actually is the old protagonist (Moses, Jesus). For the Gnostics it always was clear, that the issue was not historical truth, but rather theology. Moses, Jesus and Mohammed were only different characterizations of a mythic hero or son of god, who would depict an old spiritual teaching in mythical form.&#8221;</p>

One of the great mysteries for those who study Bible prophecy is the timing of the wars mentioned in Psalm 83 and the war described in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. They are obviously different wars but which war occurs first and when? Are they pretribulational wars or tribulation wars? How can Israel be living in peace and security prior to the Ezekiel war as the prophecy clearly indicates? That is the ongoing debate.</p>
<p>Bill Salus in his book &#8220;<strong><em>Isralestine&#8221;</em></strong> offers a solution but the thesis is very difficult to accept in light of real world realities but that does not mean the thesis he offers based on his selection and interpretation of certain scriptures is wrong. I have had a very difficult time reconciling the issues in his book and think that you really need to read the book and judge the merit of this hypothesis for yourselves and not just rely on my review.</p>
<p>The thesis of the book is that the war of Psalm 83 is imminent. It occurs before the tribulation. The war brings about the defeat of the Arab nations and it allows a very large territorial expansion of Israel into the Arab states by conquest. After the war of Psalm 83 the greatly expanded Israel then lives in peace and security until the war of Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 where Gog (Russia) comes against Israel with Iran and other allies. At that time God intervenes for Israel and Israel expands to the entire land area promised to Abraham. Bill Salus also believes the Ezekiel war is before the &#8220;Day of the Lord&#8221; and that the rapture could be before or after the war of Psalm 83 but will be before the &#8220;Day of the Lord&#8221;.</p>

If world trend forecaster Gerald Celente has this one right and I have no reason to believe that he does not have it right, it all goes downhill from here.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/celente-predicts-revolution-food-riots-tax-rebellions-by-2012.html">Alex Jones&#8217; Prison Planet: The truth will set you free!</a></p>
<blockquote><p>The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.</p>
<p>Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, is renowned for his accuracy in predicting future world and economic events, which will send a chill down your spine considering what he told Fox News this week.</p>
<p>Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/celente-predicts-revolution-food-riots-tax-rebellions-by-2012.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar, told UPI in November last year that the following year would be known as “The Panic of 2008,” adding that “giants (would) tumble to their deaths,” which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/celente-predicts-revolution-food-riots-tax-rebellions-by-2012.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The George Washington blog has compiled a list of quotes attesting to Celente’s accuracy as a trend forecaster.</p>
<p>“When CNN wants to know about the Top Trends, we ask Gerald Celente.”<br />
— CNN Headline News</p>
<p>“A network of 25 experts whose range of specialties would rival many university faculties.”<br />
— The Economist</p>
<p>“Gerald Celente has a knack for getting the zeitgeist right.”<br />
— USA Today</p>
<p>“There’s not a better trend forecaster than Gerald Celente. The man knows what he’s talking about.”<br />
- CNBC</p>
<p>“Those who take their predictions seriously … consider the Trends Research Institute.”<br />
— The Wall Street Journal</p>
<p>“Gerald Celente is always ahead of the curve on trends and uncannily on the mark … he’s one of the most accurate forecasters around.”<br />
— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution</p>
<p>“Mr. Celente tracks the world’s social, economic and business trends for corporate clients.”<br />
— The New York Times</p>
<p>“Mr. Celente is a very intelligent guy. We are able to learn about trends from an authority.”<br />
— 48 Hours, CBS News</p>
<p>“Gerald Celente has a solid track record. He has predicted everything from the 1987 stock market crash and the demise of the Soviet Union to green marketing and corporate downsizing.”<br />
— The Detroit News</p>
<p>“Gerald Celente forecast the 1987 stock market crash, ‘green marketing,’ and the boom in gourmet coffees.”<br />
— Chicago Tribune</p>
<p>“The Trends Research Institute is the Standard and Poors of Popular Culture.”<br />
— The Los Angeles Times</p>
<p>“If Nostradamus were alive today, he’d have a hard time keeping up with Gerald Celente.”<br />

Praying for these people is nice but these people have already rejected God&#8217;s truth and they have been given over to insanity. They are demonically driven hateful predators who practice lawlessness and they will do what easy targets and those with  victim mentalities allow them to get away with. If they tried that in ancient Judaism they would be stoned, if they tried that in a Muslim Mosque they would be stoned. They only do it in Christian congregations because many Christians have been misled to believing love means you will be a patsy.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=80743">Lesbians, condoms go wild in attack on Christian church</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Worshippers at a Bible-teaching church in Lansing, Mich., were stunned Sunday when members of a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchy organization named Bash Back interrupted their service to fling propaganda and condoms around the sanctuary, drape a profane banner from the balcony and feature two lesbians making out at the pulpit.</p>
<p>According to a blog posting by Nick De Leeuw on Right Michigan, the Bash Back organization orchestrated a protest in front of Mount Hope Church to draw the church&#8217;s security staff away from the sanctuary.</p>
<p>Then Bash Backers who had dressed up and mixed in with church worshippers took action.</p>
<p>According to De Leeuw, &#8220;Prayer had just finished when men and women stood up in pockets across the congregation, on the main floor and in the balcony.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;Jesus was gay,&#8217; they shouted among other profanities and blasphemies as they rushed the stage. Some forced their way through rows of women and kids to try to hang a profane banner from the balcony while others began tossing fliers into the air. Two women made their way to the pulpit and began to kiss,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
<p>He cited the Bash Back organization&#8217;s own announcement of other items members brought into the church, including &#8220;a megaphone, noise makers, condoms, glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric. &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the alternative Lansing City Pulse – which reported it was notified of the protest ahead of time and sent a reporter along instead of warning the church – the protesters also screamed at parishioners and pulled the church facility&#8217;s fire alarm. Printed material protesters distributed said, &#8220;We specialize in confronting homophobia, transphobia and every and all other forms of oppression.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report said Bash Back issued a statement today confirming it targeted Mount Hope, which has about 5,000 church participants, because it participates in &#8220;the repression of queers.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the newspaper&#8217;s forum page, a contributor commented, &#8220;Homosexuals and anarchists. A perfect combination of human beings with no hope, no morals, no future.&#8221;</p>

There is little doubt that the public schools will now accelerate their attempts to make all children subjects of the radical Far Left social engineering Marxists that run our education systems. Now they have government supporting them and see that as a mandate for even more radical agendas to shape the minds of children as young as preschoolers. They will be taught to be openly anti-Christian, anti-moral, pro sex perversion and taught to undermine parental authority through state backed intimidation.</p>
<p>People who leave their children in public schools will see their own children turn against them and the Christian values that they hold. Children will be told to report parents that do not follow the government agenda to authorities. Churches and parents had better rise up now and take their nation back or they will become targets of their own children. Their own enemies will be those of their own household.</p>
<p>Parents ignoring this for whatever reason have given up their God given responsibility of raising up their children to the State and they are doing it for their own selfish convenience, or because they themselves do not believe what God said, or because they do not care enough about their children to be informed, or because they are cowards. If your church is not actively addressing this public education problem it is time to find a new church.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=80738">Abandon ship: Run from the public schools!</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Sadly, many parents are either unaware or unwilling to see the true depravity of today&#8217;s government schools. Although many well-meaning parents may rationalize sending their children to secular institutions, there are big reasons to remove them from these public stumbling centers immediately.</p>
<p>Public school is where the &#8220;blind guides lead the blind&#8221; (Matthew 15:14) in centers of secular-humanistic indoctrination. This is no longer up for debate. The research is in. Please make yourself familiar with the following research: The National Study of Youth and Religion by Smith and Denton (2005), The Southern Baptist Council on Family Life Report (2002), and the 20 years of study by Dan Smithwick and the Nehemiah Institute with over 40,000 youth who professed to be born-again. The facts are mind-boggling! The American church is currently losing between 70-90 percent of the next generation. The vast majority of our children&#8217;s worldviews have been decimated, the inevitable result of nearly 1,100 hours a year of teaching that runs antithetical to Christianity.</p>
<p>E. Ray Moore of Exodus Mandate, at the forefront of this battle for the last 11 years, wrote the following: &#8220;… the lion&#8217;s share of converting and witnessing is accomplished through the public education curriculum, peer pressure from other children – most of whom are non-Christian – and educators who implant (either subtly or obviously and conscientiously or unconscientiously) their humanistic, neo-pagan or New Age doctrines within the minds and hearts of Christian children.&#8221; One recent Barna study shows that if current trends continue, in 10 years church attendance will be half of what it is today. Parents: the pagan institution down the street may have sports activities, marching bands, school plays, homecomings, proms, et cetera, but in light of eternity, do they really matter? Is not your child&#8217;s soul worth so much more?</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=80738"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Sending our children to public schools clearly causes them to stumble in their walk with God. The answer is not more youth groups, children&#8217;s ministries, or even a teaching series by our pastors. The answer begins with parents loving their children more than they love the convenience or tradition of their local public schools. We must spark a debate within our churches. Since it appears that many of our Christian leaders and pastors – the shepherds – are afraid or unwilling to tackle this topic, then let the sheep address it, and let them begin now.</p>
<p>The facts, Scripture, and plain reason clearly demonstrate that when parents send their children to today&#8217;s public schools, they put them in harm&#8217;s way. Evidence and history have shown it is a fool&#8217;s errand to try to reform the schools – a waste of time, money and children. It also runs contradictory to God&#8217;s Word. In the words of Martin Luther, &#8220;My conscience is captive to the Word of God … to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let us come together as the Body of Christ, repent and honor the Lord by raising our children for God&#8217;s glory! Before another precious soul stumbles and falls away, let us stop leading our kids onto the pirate ships and work together to rescue those who are already on board. It is time to abandon ship.</p>
