IT COULD HAPPEN HERE

I snagged this off a FB post from a friend.  Look for the parallels:

Read this Jewish woman's eyewitness account of the loss of freedom in her native Austria:

December 22, 2012 - “What I am about to tell you is something you’ve probably never heard or read in history books,” she likes to tell audiences.

“I am a witness to history.

“I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history.

If you remember the plot of the Sound of Music, the Von Trapp family escaped over the Alps rather than submit to the Nazis. Kitty wasn’t so lucky. Her family chose to stay in her native Austria. She was 10 years old, but bright and aware. And she was watching.

“We elected him by a landslide – 98 percent of the vote,” she recalls.

She wasn’t old enough to vote in 1938 – approaching her 11th birthday. But she remembers.

“Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.”

No so.

Hitler is welcomed to Austria

“In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unem- ployed. We had 25 percent inflation and 25 percent bank loan interest rates.

Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were go- ing from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs.

“My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about 30 daily.’

“We looked to our neighbor on the north, Germany, where Hitler had been in power since 1933.” she recalls. “We had been told that they didn’t have unemployment or crime, and they had a high standard of living.

Austrian girls welcome Hitler

“Nothing was ever said about persecution of any group – Jewish or otherwise. We were led to believe that everyone in Germany was happy. We wanted the same way of life in Austria. We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back.

“Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.

“We were overjoyed,” remembers Kitty, “and for three days we danced in the streets and had candlelight parades. The new government opened up big field kitchens and
everyone was fed.

Austrians saluting

“After the election, German officials were appointed, and like a miracle, we suddenly had law and order. Three or four weeks later, everyone was employed. The government made sure that a lot of work was created through the Public Work Service.

“Hitler decided we should have equal rights for women. Before this, it was a custom that married Austrian women did not work outside the home. An able-bodied husband would be looked down on if he couldn’t support his family. Many women in the teach- ing profession were elated that they could retain the jobs they previously had been re- quired to give up for marriage.

“Then we lost religious education for kids

Poster promoting "Hitler Youth"

“Our education was nationalized. I attended a very good public school.. The population was predominantly Catholic, so we had religion in our schools. The day we elected Hitler (March 13, 1938), I walked into my schoolroom to find the crucifix replaced by Hitler’s picture hanging next to a Nazi flag. Our teacher, a very devout woman, stood up and told the class we wouldn’t pray or have religion anymore. Instead, we sang ‘Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles,’ and had physical education.

“Sunday became National Youth Day with compulsory attendance. Parents were not pleased about the sudden change in curriculum. They were told that if they did not send us, they would receive a stiff letter of warning the first time. The second time they would be fined the equivalent of $300, and the third time they would be subject to jail.”
And then things got worse.

“The first two hours consisted of political indoctrination. The rest of the day we had sports. As time went along, we loved it. Oh, we had so much fun and got our sports equipment free.

“We would go home and gleefully tell our parents about the wonderful time we had.

“My mother was very unhappy,” remembers Kitty. “When the next term started, she took me out of public school and put me in a convent. I told her she couldn’t do that and she told me that someday when I grew up, I would be grateful. There was a very good curriculum, but hardly any fun – no sports, and no political indoctrination.

“I hated it at first but felt I could tolerate it. Every once in a while, on holidays, I went home. I would go back to my old friends and ask what was going on and what they were doing.

A pro-Hitler rally

“Their loose lifestyle was very alarming to me. They lived without religion. By that time, unwed mothers were glorified for having a baby for Hitler.

“It seemed strange to me that our society changed so suddenly. As time went along, I realized what a great deed my mother did so that I wasn’t exposed to that kind of hu- manistic philosophy.

“In 1939, the war started and a food bank was established. All food was rationed and could only be purchased using food stamps. At the same time, a full-employment law was passed which meant if you didn’t work, you didn’t get a ration card, and if you didn’t have a card, you starved to death.

“Women who stayed home to raise their families didn’t have any marketable skills and often had to take jobs more suited for men.

“Soon after this, the draft was implemented.

Young Austrians

“It was compulsory for young people, male and female, to give one year to the labor corps,” remembers Kitty. “During the day, the girls worked on the farms, and at night they returned to their barracks for military training just like the boys.

“They were trained to be anti-aircraft gunners and participated in the signal corps. After the labor corps, they were not discharged but were used in the front lines.
“When I go back to Austria to visit my family and friends, most of these women are emotional cripples because they just were not equipped to handle the horrors of combat.
“Three months before I turned 18, I was severely injured in an air raid attack. I nearly had a leg amputated, so I was spared having to go into the labor corps and into military service.

“When the mothers had to go out into the work force, the government immediately es- tablished child care centers.
“You could take your children ages four weeks old to school age and leave them there around-the-clock, seven days a week, under the total care of the government.

“The state raised a whole generation of children. There were no motherly women to take care of the children, just people highly trained in child psychology. By this time, no one talked about equal rights. We knew we had been had.

“Before Hitler, we had very good medical care. Many American doctors trained at the University of Vienna..
“After Hitler, health care was socialized, free for everyone. Doctors were salaried by the government. The problem was, since it was free, the people were going to the doctors for everything.

“When the good doctor arrived at his office at 8 a.m., 40 people were already waiting and, at the same time, the hospitals were full.

“If you needed elective surgery, you had to wait a year or two for your turn. There was no money for research as it was poured into socialized medicine. Research at the med- ical schools literally stopped, so the best doctors left Austria and emigrated to other countries.

“As for healthcare, our tax rates went up to 80 percent of our income. Newlyweds immediately received a $1,000 loan from the government to establish a household. We had big programs for families.

“All day care and education were free. High schools were taken over by the government and college tuition was subsidized. Everyone was entitled to free handouts, such as food stamps, clothing, and housing.

“We had another agency designed to monitor business. My brother-in-law owned a restaurant that had square tables.
“ Government officials told him he had to replace them with round tables because peo- ple might bump themselves on the corners. Then they said he had to have additional bathroom facilities. It was just a small dairy business with a snack bar. He couldn’t meet all the demands.

“Soon, he went out of business. If the government owned the large businesses and not many small ones existed, it could be in control.

“We had consumer protection, too

Austrian kids loyal to Hitler

“We were told how to shop and what to buy. Free enterprise was essentially abolished. We had a planning agency specially designed for farmers. The agents would go to the farms, count the live-stock, and then tell the farmers what to produce, and how to produce it.

“In 1944, I was a student teacher in a small village in the Alps. The villagers were surrounded by mountain passes which, in the winter, were closed off with snow, causing people to be isolated.

“So people intermarried and offspring were sometimes retarded. When I arrived, I was told there were 15 mentally retarded adults, but they were all useful and did good man- ual work.

“I knew one, named Vincent, very well. He was a janitor of the school. One day I looked out the window and saw Vincent and others getting into a van.

“I asked my superior where they were going. She said to an institution where the State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months.

“They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness.

“As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia.

“Next came gun registration. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily.

“No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up.

“Totalitarianism didn’t come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria. Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom.”

“This is my eye-witness account.

“It’s true. Those of us who sailed past the Statue of Liberty came to a country of unbelievable freedom and opportunity.

“America is truly is the greatest country in the world. “Don’t let freedom slip away.

“After America, there is no place to go.”

THE SCOOP ON EMP

I am just dumping this:

WASHINGTON – A December 1998 Iranian military journal published an article titled “Electronics to Determine Fate of Future Wars,” and it detailed how an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack on the electronic infrastructure of the United States caused by the detonation of a nuclear bomb over the U.S. would be crippling.
“Once you confuse the enemy communication network you can also disrupt the work of the enemy command- and decision-making center,” the journal said. “Even worse today when you disable a country’s military high command through disruption of communications, you will, in effect, disrupt all the affairs of that country.

“If the world’s industrial countries fail to devise effective ways to defend themselves against dangerous electronic assaults then they will disintegrate within a few years,” the Iranian journal added. “American soldiers would not be able to find food to eat nor would they be able to fire a single shot.”
The journal went a step further in telling how an EMP attack on the U.S. electric infrastructure from the detonation of a nuclear bomb high above the U.S. would severely cripple the U.S.
Editor’s note: Michael Maloof, author of “A Nation Forsaken,” will discuss the catastrophic threat posed by an EMP attack for three hours on George Noory’s “Coast-to-Coast” Thursday night, Jan. 3, the day the book is officially released nationwide.
The Iranians, who do not yet have nuclear weapons but are working on it, learned about the effects of electromagnetic pulse attacks from the history of some of the first nuclear weapons tests conducted first by the United States in 1945 and later by the Russians and Chinese, who also are expert on EMP.
Military experts say that Iran has been involved in conducting mid-air detonations which are critical to acquire the EMP effect. The tests were linked in with the launching of the Iranian Shahab III from the deck of a ship and then exploding the warhead in mid-air.
Experts say that there really is no other reason to test for such mid-air explosions except to develop an EMP weapon.
In March 2005, a staff member to the U.S. EMP Commission referred to research that had been done in determining which countries had the knowledge and possible intentions of undertaking an EMP attack.
Here’s the documentation of the danger: “A Nation Forsaken – EMP: The Escalating Threat of an American Catastrophe.”
“The survey found that the physics of EMP phenomenon and the military potential of EMP attack are widely understood in the international community, as reflected in official and unofficial writings and statements,” said Dr. Peter Vincent Pry before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security.
He said that in addition to Iran, the following countries have knowledge about EMP and its effects following an attack: Britain, France, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Taiwan, Sweden, Cuba, India, Pakistan, Iraq, North Korea, China and Russia.
“Many foreign analysts – particularly in Iran, North Korea, China and Russia – view the United States as a potential aggressor that would be willing to use its entire panoply of weapons, including nuclear weapons, in a first strike,” Pry said. “They perceive the United States as having contingency plans to make a nuclear EMP attack, and as being willing to execute those plans under a broad range of circumstances.”

Pry said that Russian and Chinese military scientists in open source writings describe the basic principles of nuclear weapons designed specifically to generate an enhanced-EMP effect, called Super-EMP weapons, which can destroy even the best protected U.S. military and civilian electronic systems. Both countries have been considering limited nuclear attack options that employ EMP as the primary or only means of attack.
In electromagnetic pulse, a highly intense burst of electromagnetic energy generated from a nuclear weapon, a massive solar storm or from radio-frequency, or RF, weapon, is used.
In early July 2008 testimony, then-Assistant Secretary of Defense for Asian and Pacific Security Affairs James J. Shinn told the House Armed Services Committee that China, which is a threat to Taiwan, was working on exotic electromagnetic pulse weapons that can devastate electronic systems using a burst of energy similar to that produced by a nuclear blast.
“The consequence of EMP is that you destroy the communications network,” Shinn said. “And we are you know, and as the Chinese also know, heavily dependent on sophisticated communications, satellite communications, in the conduct of our forces. And so, whether it’s from an EMP or it’s some kind of a coordinated anti-satellite effort we could be in a very bad place if the Chinese enhanced their capability in this area.”
Now, the Chinese say they are developing EMP warheads on new missiles designed to hit U.S. aircraft carriers that enter into its sphere of influence in the South China Sea.
The U.S. was aware of the prospect for an electromagnetic pulse when it detonated a nuclear device on July 16, 1945, thanks to the expectation of an EMP by Enrico Fermi, an Italian-American nuclear physicist renowned for his development of the first nuclear reactor and development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, among other things. In 1938, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity.
According to reports at the time, all signal lines were shielded and, in many cases doubly shielded. However, many records still were lost. Similarly, a British nuclear test in 1953 resulted in instrumentation failure attributed to “radioflash,” the British term for EMP.
Then in July 1962, there were several high-altitude nuclear tests known as Operation Fishbowl. They significantly advanced the knowledge of EMP effects.
One such test, called Starfish Prime, was conducted at some 400 kilometers, or 250 miles, above the Pacific Ocean.

Starfish Prime test showed that the effects of a high-altitude nuclear detonation were much larger than first thought. The effects were so significant that the detonations caused electrical damage in Hawaii almost 900 miles from the site of the detonation.
It knocked out streetlights, set off burglar alarms and damaged the microwave link of the local telephone company, according to a report by Charles N. Vittitoe of Sandia National Laboratories in a June 1989 article titled “Did High-Altitude EMP Cause the Hawaiian Streetlight Incident?”
Starfish Prime then was followed in November 1962 by two other high-altitude tests – Bluegill Triple Prime and Kingfish – which provided enough EMP data for scientists to accurately identify the physical mechanisms producing the EMPs.
While the damage in Hawaii wasn’t very significant, scientists conclude that if that same explosion had occurred over the northern portion of the continental United States, damage would have been more significant due to the greater strength of the Earth’s magnetic field over the U.S. At higher latitudes, there also are other anomalies that intensify the effects of an EMP.
To understand the characteristics of an EMP, scientists have divided EMP pulses into three components: E1, E2 and E3.
E1 is developed from a nuclear explosion. It is considered to be the most intense. The pulse from a nuclear explosion creates a very intense electromagnetic field of electrically charged objects. This component is produced when gamma radiation from a nuclear detonation knocks electrons out of atoms in the upper atmosphere. These electrons then travel in a downward direction at an estimated speed of 90 percent of the speed of light of 186,000 miles/second.
Damage from the E1 component is caused by electrical breakdown voltages such as insulators being overwhelmed, thereby destroying electronic components in computers and communications equipment. The intensity and speed at which the pulse hits is too quick for ordinary lightning protecters to guard the equipment.
The interaction of the Earth’s magnetic field and the downward flow of electrons is what produces a very large, intense but brief electromagnetic pulse which hits within five nanoseconds.
According to experts, the process of the gamma rays knocking electrons out of the atoms at a high altitude causes this region of the atmosphere to become an electrical conductor due to ionization. The strength of the pulse will depend on intensity of the gamma rays produced by the weapon, the rapidity of the gamma ray burst from the weapon and the altitude at which the detonation occurs.
The E2 component is produced by weapon neutrons and is considered to be an intermediate time pulse. It lasts for up to a second after the beginning of the EMP. This E2 component has many similarities to EMPs produced from lightning and can easily be protected since lightning protection readily is available.
If an electronic component is protected only from an E2 pulse, an E1 pulse will destroy it.
E3 pulse is very slow, and has similarities to a geomagnetic storm caused by a solar flare. Like a geomagnetic storm, E3 can produce geomagnetically induced currents in long electrical conductors, which then can damage components such as power line transformers, according to a January 2010 report by Metatech Corporation titled “The Late-Time (E3) High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) and its impact on the U.S. Power Grid.” This study was done for Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Above the 250-mile altitude, there will be no EMP effects on earth, since the gamma rays would disperse over the longer distance. Where there is no magnetic field, there would be virtually no EMP.
Up to 250 miles above the earth over Kansas, for example, scientists say that the effects of an EMP pulse would cover virtually the entire continental United States.
“Since it is a geometrical line-of-sight effect, a detonation at a height of a few hundred kilometers would encompass within its line of sight essentially the entire United States, with the effect growing weaker the larger the distance from the burst point,” according to Dr. Michael J. Frankel, who was executive director of the EMP Commission.
“For assessment purposes, a SCUD class missile launched from a nearby offshore location might reach a height of about 100 kilometers, sufficient to encompass within its effects footprint most of the eastern seaboard, with its great density of people and infrastructure,” he said.
In recognizing this threat, especially if such countries as North Korea and Iran acquired nuclear weapons, Congress under Title XIV of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, for Fiscal Year 2001 had established the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack, also referred to as the EMP Commission.

The provision originally was sponsored by Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md.
Bartlett, who recently lost his bid for re-election, has been a major proponent of preparing the nation against the prospect of an EMP attack.
An EMP attack is “an event we will not avoid,” he told National Public Radio in 2009. He also said that any remediation after the fact would cost upwards of $2 trillion.
“The more sophisticated we become, the more vulnerable we are,” Bartlett said. “There’s a huge concern about cyber-attacks on the grid. Well, a really robust nuclear EMP lay-down means microelectronics across the country would be shut down and you have no power…
“There’s one event that we will not avoid and that is a solar electromagnetic interference – solar storm,” he said. “If we have a big one like the one that occurred back in 1859, that would shut down the whole grid for quite a long while … It would cost us between $1 trillion and $2 trillion in damages, and the loss of life could be horrendous if in fact you were without electricity for months at a time.”
The 1859 solar storm to which Bartlett referred also is referred to as a solar super storm, or Carrington Event. It is said to have been the most powerful solar storm in recorded history.
To a number of critics of an anti-missile defense system, however, the EMP Commission was regarded as the “cornerstone of right-wing advocacy on national defense policy,” according to the leftist-leaning Institute for Policy Studies based in Washington, D.C.
In criticizing the provision, the IPS said that those advocates were “seeking to spread alarm about the purported threat of EMP attacks, which would involve the detonation of nuclear weapons in the upper atmosphere to generate a pulse that would knock out electronics-based infrastructure.”
The IPS said those people “have repeatedly used the findings of this commission to advocate increased funding for costly weapons programs such as missile defense and push alarmist notions that ‘rogue states’ like Iran and North Korea pose an existential threat to the United States.”
Bartlett first raised the alarm after he and former Congressman Curt Weldon, R-Pa., had met in 1999 with their Russian Duma, or parliament, counterparts about assaults by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during the Kosovo crisis occurring at the time.
The two had conferred with Vladimir Lukin, who at the time was chairman of the Duma’s International Affairs Committee and had been a high-level official of the then-Soviet national security apparatus under former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev.
Lukin told the congressmen that if Moscow really wanted to hurt the United States without fear of retaliation, Russia would launch a missile from a submarine, explode it high over the country and shut down its power grid and communications for six months.
The EMP Commission made its first report to Congress in July 2004 in which it stated that a nuclear-generated EMP is “one of a small number of threats that has the potential to hold our society seriously at risk and might result in the defeat of our military forces.”
Its duties were to assess the nature of a high-altitude EMP threat to the U.S. from potentially hostile states or non-state actors – terrorists – that have or could acquire nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles needed to conduct such an attack. The commission was to look at such a threat for the next 15 years.
It also was to determine the vulnerability of the U.S. military and especially the civilian infrastructure in terms of emergency preparedness. It also was to determine just how quickly the U.S. could repair and recover from damages on military and civilian systems from an EMP attack. In addition, the commission was to determine the feasibility and cost of hardening critical military and civilian systems against such an attack.
“EMP is one of a small number of threats that can hold our society at risk of catastrophic consequences,” the executive report said. “EMP will cover the wide geographic region within line of sight to the nuclear weapons. It has the capability to produce a significant damage to critical infrastructures and thus to the very fabric of U.S. society, as well as to the ability of the United States and Western nations to project influence and military power.”
The executive report pointed out that the common element that can have such a devastating impact on the critical infrastructure is primarily electronics.
Just what constitutes the critical infrastructure facilities of the United States?
Section 1016 (e) of the U.S.A. Patriot Act of 2001 defines them as “Systems and assets … so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters.”
These critical infrastructure facilities include electric power, oil refineries, water treatment plants, banking systems, pipelines, transportation systems, and communications. They all depend on electrical and electronic systems to operate. Yet, they can be very vulnerable to the pulse effects of a nuclear weapon or radio-frequency weapons.
“The primary avenues for catastrophic damage to the nation are through our electric power infrastructure and thence into our telecommunications, energy and other infrastructures,” the report said. “These in turn can seriously impact other important aspects of our nation’s life, including the financial system; means of getting food, water, and medical care to the citizenry; trade; and production of goods and services.”
The report pointed out that certain types of low-yield nuclear weapons can be used to generate “potentially catastrophic EMP effects” over a wide geographic area and “designs for variants of such weapons may have been illicitly trafficked for a quarter-century.”
Here’s the documentation of the danger: “A Nation Forsaken – EMP: The Escalating Threat of an American Catastrophe.”
The concern to the commissioners in their preliminary 2004 report was that the U.S. had developed more than most other nations as a modern society heavily dependent on electronics, telecommunications, energy, information networks and financial and transportation systems that use modern technology.
“This asymmetry is a source of substantial economic, industrial, and societal advantages, but it creates vulnerabilities and critical interdependencies that are potentially disastrous to the United States,” the report added.
“The current vulnerability of our critical infrastructures can both invite and reward attack if not corrected,” the executive report said. “Correction is feasible and well within the nation’s means and resources to accomplish.”
It went on to say that an EMP attack had the capability to produce “significant damage to critical infrastructures and thus to the very fabric of U.S. society.”
The preliminary report made a strong point on the interdependence of elements of the infrastructure that could show a cascading effect if subject to an EMP attack.
“All of the critical functions of U.S. society and related infrastructures – electric power, telecommunications, energy, financial, transportation, emergency services, water, food, etc – have electronic devices embedded in most aspects of their systems, often providing critical controls,” the report said.
“Electric power has thus emerged as an essential service underlying U.S. society and all of its other critical infrastructures,” the report said. “Telecommunications has grown to a critical level but may not rise to the same level as electrical power in terms of risk to the nation’s survival.”
All other infrastructures and their critical functions, the report said, are dependent on the support of electric power and telecommunications, suggesting that emphasis be placed on protecting these two high-leverage systems.
At the time, the 2004 executive report recommended that the U.S. government spend up to $200 billion over 20 years to “harden” U.S. critical infrastructure.
Among other things, it also recommended that the U.S. ensure that it had “vigorous interdiction and interception efforts to thwart delivery” – namely, an anti-ballistic missile defense system – of a nuclear weapon.
At this point, however, none of the monies has been expended to harden the nation’s vulnerable electrical grid system. Nor has the Obama administration implemented a full anti-ballistic missile system, especially in the Northeast, leaving the most populated portion of the United States very vulnerable to any missile attack.

EVIDENCE THAT JESUS HAD A POSTERITY

If I am reading things correctly, Vern Swanson's book, Dynasty of the Holy Grail is getting ready for another printing and Barnes and Noble is taking pre-orders for it right now at over two times the price of the first printing.  I am fine with that - because I have seen enough of it (on google books) to know that it is well worth the $100 price with all the graphics, several hundred (large) pages, etc.

Also, the info contained in it is extensive.  I admire people who have the time and the research skills to pull something like that off.

Here is more related to this topic from a guy (on LDSFF) who thinks like I do:

Hope you enjoy this:

“…Joseph of Arimathea, according to the apocryphal Evangelium Nicodemi (Gospel of Nicodemus), was an early leader in the church. According to the apocryphal Vindicta Salvatoris, after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, Joseph set out to establish a church in the “far north”. According to the Celts, Joseph came to England and lived at Glastonbury, where he ordained his successors. The Celtic Church claimed this was an apostolic succession, just like that claimed by the church of Rome. The church of Rome naturally saw the Celtic church as a threat.
According to William of Malmesbury, writing around 1125, the apostle Philip sent Joseph to Britain in AD 63. Glastonbury was traditionally the first church in the British Isles. Augustine went so far as to say (on his mission here in 600) that Glastonbury church was first constructed “by no human art, but by the hands of Christ himself”. For this and other quotations, see “Saint Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury” by Lionel Smithett (London: Mowbray & Co., 1922) and “The Early History of Glastonbury”by John Scott, a translation of Malmesbury’s medieval history (Bury St Edmunds: Boydell Press, 1981).
In some versions of the Grail romances, Joseph {of Arimathea} is taught “the secret words of Jesus” by the Lord himself. Joseph was the one chosen to dress and prepare Jesus’ body for burial (See John 19:38-40). The significance will not be lost on Latter-Day Saints.
Just how much authority did Joseph of Arimathea have? His alleged successors “claimed to have secret knowledge, unknown to the established church”. According to the Grail romances, the holder of the Grail (the priesthood?) was called the “rich fisher” or “fisher king”, apparently referring to Peter, the fisherman.
The belief in the English Celtic church was that they traced their authority back directly to Christ, without going through Rome. Indeed, Malmesbury (in about 1125) refers to Glastonbury as a “second Rome”. Some go even further, and believe that the evidence shows that the British church was far older than that of Rome, and built on stronger foundations.

The Holy Grail, according to many, is nothing else than the priesthood authority, as preserved in a farflung corner of the Lord’s vineyard, away from the corruption of Rome. When it was lost, it was sorely missed.
“The legends of Arthur and the Grail were to enshrine the resistance of many peoples to the authority of the Holy See” (Sinclair p.19).
So it was all the more important for these traditions, once absorbed by the medieval church {of Rome}, to be changed into a simple story of a cup, just another relic. It was essential to the medieval church that Christians should not be reminded of what they had lost...”
“…It is my claim that the Holy Grail was the priesthood authority, and that this priesthood authority was restored after 1,260 years, and is held by what the world calls the “Mormon” church. The Mormons are in this sense the new Celts.
There was a time in Mormon history, the mid nineteenth century, when the church was under tremendous pressure from outside, and almost did not survive. In the year 1837, when great numbers were leaving (or being excommunicated from) the church, some of the best missionaries were sent to the British Isles. Over the next decades, tens of thousands of men and women in Arthur’s land answered the call. There was even a time when there were more “Mormons” in Britain than in America. It is no exaggeration to say that the British saints saved the church from extinction. This time the Grail would not be lost again. Arthur had returned!”

Noble or “Royal” Ancestry
The following links portray vividly Lucifer’s contention that he would buy up armies, navies, kingdoms, dominions and rule with horror on this earth and how he played religions against each other as well. It is truly a miracle that we as descendants of “royalty”, are even alive today. I asked the question why if the nobles were related to each other, why they fought each other as nations? Simple; Money, power, control – just like today.

These links discuss some of our ‘Noble’ ancestry and may explain why they ended up having wars against each other’s countries and how we have French, Spanish and Portuguese ancestry in our ‘noble’ lines – (and a few Muslim ones too, via Spain) -

From My Temple Cousin Status Report from CHRIST-mas 2011 I wrote -

On this day in which we celebrate the birth of our elder brother (and yes, we ARE literally related via Saint Joseph of Arimathea – “founder of British Christianity”!), Savior and Messiah (even if it really is on April 6), I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing me to come to earth, experience life, participate in the Plan of Salvation, work through the repentance process, be able to renew my covenants and be reborn again each week and for being given the great and awesome privilege of getting to know each one of you in this holy and sacred temple ordinance work. I, along with those that have passed on am eternally grateful to you for the work you do and gave done to help us get this far in helping our combined ancestors out in their time of need.

Walk upon England's mountains green?

On England's pleasant pastures seen?[/b]

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among these dark satanic mills? 


2. Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!

Bring me my spear!
O clouds unfold!

Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built Jerusalem

         Burden of Damascus

by davedan » Fri Dec 14, 2012 12:01 am

I remember learning that the great prophecy leading up to the Great Flood was that it was to occur after the death of Methuselah. God was merciful and Methuselah was the oldest living human at 969 or 960(Jasher). Methuselah means "his death shall bring"

[By the way if you take all the names of the Patriarchs from Adam to Noah, the names prophesy of Christ. The names together read:

Adam = man
Seth = appointed, placed, set
Enosh = mortal, human
Kenan = sorrow, low, humble
Mahalalel = blessed God, praise of god
Jared = descent, shall come down, descending
Enoch = dedicated, teaching
Methuselah = his death shall bring
Lamech = despairing
Noah = comfort, rest

Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest."]

Could there be a parallel prophecy for the Last Days. Except this time the prophecy involves the oldest city in the world and not the oldest man. 

 

Isaiah 17:1-3 warns:

"Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim,"

I'm not sure what this means for Damascus or Ephraim but it doesn't sound good. Could the destruction of Damascus be a prophetic marker like the death of Methuselah?

I cannot help but think of the Patriarchal Blessing given to Ephraim by his grandfather, Israel (Jacob) in Genesis 49:

 22 ¶^aJoseph is a fruitful ^bbough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose ^cbranches ^drun over the wall:

 23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from ^athence is the ^bshepherd, the ^cstone of Israel:)

 25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the ^aAlmighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the ^bwomb:

 26 The ^ablessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the ^butmost bound of the everlasting ^chills: they shall be on the head of ^dJoseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

 The archers now have us in range - and the shooting most likely will begin once Damascus falls.  We have systematically been going after the "rogue" nations that will not comply with the demands of the international banksters of the New World Odor; Libya, Syria, Iran and North Korea.  You can know that we are close to the edge of the cliff when we are again heading into North Korea.  Their arrows are now in range according to this report:

     http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/dec/23/us-north-korea-missile-range

I do not want to sound fatalistic, but I think we are sliding along at such a rate that I do not think we can stop the slide before we plunge off the cliff.  Our current political environment is such that I believe our plunge is inevitable.

HURRICANE DOMES AND REAPING THE EAST WIND

I am always amazed at the wicked who think to alter the outcomes in their lives by attempting to thwart Godly judgments.  If you have read my previous posts on the book The Harbinger, the folks in New York City (the city of the play mocking Mormons and so much else that is sick and wrong) after receiving a judgment of God (the collapse of the twin towers), they raised their fists defiantly to heaven and swore that they would rebuilt bigger and better - in effect, dismissing the effect of the judgment against them, and this nation.

The people of Texas are embarking on this same thing, effectively thumbing their noses at God:

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/28/16218175-hurricane-domes-rising-across-texas-as-shelters-and-gyms?lite

As a nation, we are getting hit with disasters of increasing frequency and intensifying scale.  Our response, as a nation, has not been to slow down for a while and evaluate our spiritual health and our current course of action, but we have repeatedly resolved "to build it stronger and better".  In a city where they were hosting the premiere gay festival of the year on the same week that Katrina hit and nearly wiped it off the map, no one took the time to make the connection between behavior and response by a just God; they instead resolved to build the dikes a measure taller.  Almost in a bid to show their invincibility in the face of the future impending judgments.  And so it goes with foolish, puny little man attempting to defy a God intent on showing His greatness in His chastisements.

When will we learn?  What will it take to make it through to man?  I guess what is coming will answer that question.  I feel the earth is in revolt against the parasites that inhabit the face of it.  Will we become less toxic to it?  We are holding it back from its glorious future.  The only way we will move forward with it is to make the transformation into the Zion people who will make the move forward with it.  May we all be up to the task.

A PILLAR OF CLOUD BY DAY AND FIRE BY NIGHT

I have always been intrigued by that phrase - and have always thought there was a comet that would fit perfectly to explain this phenomenon (see previous posts on Velikovsky's theory).  It looks like a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.  If it were close enough to the earth, it may have had a very large impact on the tides, etc of the Red Sea.

Here is a pic that explains what I am talking about:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/brighter-than-a-full-moon-the-biggest-star-of-2013-could-be-ison--the-comet-of-the-century-8431443.html?action=gallery&ino=4

We have a big one (Comet Ison) coming thru in 2013.  Pretty exciting stuff!

BUTTER AND HONEY AND GREAT TREASURES OF KNOWLEDGE

Sometimes you hear something a thousand times and it doesn't click for you - until wham!

Sunday, there was an excellent talk about the prophecies leading up to Christ's birth.  I received several points of personal revelation during that talk and know it was from God for the attendant Holy Ghost.

One scripture that jumped out at me (and called others to remembrance), was Isaiah 7:15:

         Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

The thing that struck me was the lack of mention of meat in that diet (from a four legged animal).  I then remembered the diet of John the Baptist - locusts and honey.  Basically, a form of protein energy not related to the taking of the life of an animal and a form of nearly pure energy in the form of honey.

I then remembered about Daniel and the story of not eating the King's meat - and how he had special knowledge given to him.

Then I remembered the promise of Doctrine and Covenants Section 89:

12 Yea, ^aflesh also of ^bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used ^csparingly;

 13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be ^aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or ^bfamine.

 18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ^ashall receive ^bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;

 19 And shall ^afind ^bwisdom and great ^ctreasures of ^dknowledge, even hidden treasures;

 20 And shall ^arun and not be ^bweary, and shall walk and not faint.

 21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the ^adestroying angel shall ^bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

Did not each of them find great treasures of knowledge - keys, if you will, to knowing how to choose the good over the evil?  I call that the gift of discernment....  For many people, this gift is not such an easy thing.

Do we not need the amazing promise in our lives of the destroying angel passing over us in the hour of destruction that surely will come upon this nation and the earth?

I DO NOT advocate being a vegan - I simply think that I would not have enough B-12 in my diet without my red meat (many of those who are vegan, I find have mental illness related to not having sufficient B-12 in their diet.)  But, I would never eat it every day - as I think the ancients somehow knew that the over-consumption of it dulls the senses and violates the essence of the promises of Section 89.  I also believe that the blood of every beast shall the Lord require at my hands in the judgment - thus the reason I thank the Lord for the life of the animal when we do eat meat at our table:

 11 And surely, blood shall not be shed, only for meat, to save your lives; and the blood of every beast will I require at your hands.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I have noticed the number of hits on the site dropping dramatically as we approach Christmas.  I am heartened - as this is as it should be.  More focus on family and the ones we love, rejoicing in celebrating the birthday of the only one who gives hope.   May we all find ourselves filled with the Holy Spirit on this occasion.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

ILLUMINATI

I remember my father talking about this from time to time - but never telling me how evil it was.  This is the Gads that take over the world governments, folks.

Once they have solidified power, there will be no resistance.  Resist now - and save yourself some hassle later, folks....  You at least owe it to your kids.

ENJOY:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fpzdaww2MMc

Here is a quote from a blog reader that I thought fit well with this.  I miss President Benson, I miss Reagan, I miss alot of the last few greats to fight this stuff...  We seem to be on a slide of ambivalence and destruction.  Where is the leadership?  DO I HAVE TO DO IT FROM MY INSIGNIFICANT PERCH??  I guess that is how you can tell it has infiltrated and neutralized every single organization high and low - when it is no longer a concern and is not talked about.  Then, its openly acknowledged (just starting now) and then you are forced to become part of it.  Comply, or die.  I have already made my choice beforehand....

PRESIDENT BENSON:

"Some Book of Mormon prophets knew of the final desolate end of their nations, but they still fought on, and they saved some souls including their own by so doing. For, after all, the purpose of life is to prove ourselves, and the final victory will be for freedom.

"But many o the prophecies referring to America's preservation are conditional. That is, if we do our duty we can be preserved and if not then we shall be destroyed. This means that a good deal of the responsibility lies with the priesthood of this Church as to what happens to America and as to how much tragedy can be avoided if we do act now.

"And now as to the last neutralizer that the devil uses most effectively- it is simply this: "Don't do anything in the fight for freedom until the Church sets up its own specific program to save the Constitution." This brings us right back to the scripture I opened with today- to those slothful servants who will not do anything until they are "compelled in all things." Maybe the Lord will never set up a specific Church program for the purpose of saving the Constitution. Perhaps if he set one up at this time it might split the Church asunder, and perhaps he does not want that to happen yet for not all the wheat and tares are fully ripe.

"The prophet Joseph Smith declared it will be the elders of Israel who will step forward to help save the Constitution, not the Church. And have we elders been warned? Yes, we have. And have we elders been given the guide lines? Yes indeed, we have. And besides, if the Church should ever inaugurate a program, who do you think would be in the forefront to get it moving? It would not be those who were sitting on the sidelines prior to that time or those who were appeasing the enemy. It would be those choice spirits who, not waiting to be "commanded on all things," used their own guidelines and who entered the battle "in a good cause" and brought to pass much righteousness in freedom's cause...

"Brethren, if we had done our homework and were faithful, we could step forward at this time and help save this country. The fact that most of us are unprepared to do it is an indictment we have to bear. The longer we wait, the heavier the chains, the deeper the blood, the more the persecution and the less we can carry out our God-given mandate and world-wide mission. The war on heaven is raging on earth today. Are you being neutralized in the battle?"

BEING CHASED FROM CITY TO CITY

I have said it before and I will say it again.  I have witnessed in my mind's eye, the chasing of the Saints from city to city in areas where it is not safe as part of the purging that will occur before the US is wiped out for its crimes against good principle.  This external scourging of the US will not be for crimes against us as Latter-Day Saints, as we have largely lost our light (our peculiarity - what makes us unique as a people), as well.  But it will be for crimes against good principle, which we still uphold, if only on paper. 

I have said before that this driving and scourging will be far worse than what the Saints of Far West or Nauvoo experienced.  Seeing this video puts it all in perspective and stands as a testament against those nations who have driven the Christians out of them.  I did not know how bad it was in Turkey - but have known about the violence in Lebanon and Iraq and Egypt.

How, then shall I be surprised when God's judgements come upon these nations.  If our nation chooses gun control, this is what we have to look forward to.  We will have sealed our own fate - and the reason that, when asked to do so, I will hand mine over barrel first - having given all my ammunition first, one round at a time; in rapid succession.  In defense of my family.  I do not believe in allowing history to repeat itself....

Warning:  Some of this is graphic - and there is justifiable shock value; when its purpose is to shock people out of their induced sleeps.....

May God help us all.

AN OBJECTIVE VIEW

I cannot help but listen to the words of this song which talk of longing for a simpler time when there is no captivity in Israel.  When the people no longer are in danger of judgment due to their lack of obedience and diligence.  I begin to "fly" outside myself and view myself (my LDS culture) from that perspective and wonder how we have strayed as a people - how I have strayed as an individual.

I think of how the people of the day of Jesus breezed right past him and had no clue that they had overlooked the greatest being to walk this earth.  They had a temple, they had ecclestiastical leaders; though there was a hunger in the land as the words of the leaders of the day rung hollow and their thirst was not satiated after drinking to a tight belly.  These people who were not satiated in the meeting places of Jerusalem found themselves in dusty fields, far outside the walled city seeking knowledge and Priesthood power from those who possessed it - John and others including Jesus.

So, where are we at today?  Many feel an impending pall hanging over the Church.  Many recognize that the membership is not doing enough as we slip into the statistical abyss of worldliness - our numbers matching those of Babylon only a few short years afterwards.  Will we feel similar to the Jews after we have been occupied, our homes ruined, our autonomy evaporated, many of our leaders gone.  How sad will our song of longing for Zion be?  It will be interesting to witness.  Interesting indeed!

Here is another rendition of "O Come Thou Emmanuel":

GUNS AND VIOLENCE BEFORE THE MILLENNIAL REIGN

I see WAY too many naive and unformed opinions among Church membership regarding use of weapons.

We are commanded to protect our families.  In a telestial world, that is a sad reality for us to deal with.

Alma 43:47
And again, the Lord has said that: Ye shall defend your families even unto bloodshed. Therefore for this cause were the Nephites contending with the Lamanites, to defend themselves, and their families, and their lands, their country, and their rights, and their religion.

Here is an opinion I gave on LDSFF on the matter:

T____, I hope you are not offended when I say that it is naive to believe that guns will not be necessary in a telestial world whose leaders reign with blood and horror on the face of this earth. ONCE we are in holy Zion, then we will have no need for them, for we shall be terrible as an army with banners. Until we get to that point, he/she who is without some form of protection will be sorely in want. I would defer to the book, Visions of Glory and say no more. If you choose not to defend your family as God has commanded (other than with the butcher knife), that is your prerogative - as you have agency in everything.

After Zion, comes the great model of peace and safety - where a cloud by day and a pillar by night is our defense.

Doctrine and Covenants 45:
67 And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
68 And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.

We should never DESIRE to harm another (although I have to say I would love a few people to try and pick a fight with me so I could do us all a favor.....  IF we seek to do violence, we are no better than the wicked and will be swept away with them.  My goal is to stay out of the way and let the wicked kill the wicked.  If I get caught up in it, I plan to use full force; with the Book of Mormon as my ideal and how-to manual.  At the very least, I shall hide behind it in my defense during the judgment if I have to justify use of force against another of God's children in defense of those over whom I have stewardship.

COME THOU EMMANUEL!

I cannot wait to see the Mother of God - Mary. 

She, of all people, must be incredibly holy and wonderful.  I think the following video encapsulates her beauty and the urgency of the moment she brought the Son of God into the world.  I love the cinematography and the beam of light they chose to indicate Jesus was coming from Heaven into His tabernacle of clay.  It captures my strongly-held belief that the spirit enters the body upon taking the breath of life.  It would seem that what Spencer had to say, would support this concept.  I will share the experience my father had when my sister came into the world.  Fascinating, to say the least.

Here is what got me spun up - and filled with the Spirit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bPfdD3pBUig

And I feel to say:  Come Thou Emmanuel - and deliver us from our plight.

Here are the words to this tune that dredge up such strong emotion:

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.
Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou Wisdom from on high,
who orderest all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go. Refrain

O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free
thine own from Satan's tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save,
and give them victory over the grave. Refrain

O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
our spirits by thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
and death's dark shadows put to flight. Refrain

O come, thou Key of David, come,
and open wide our heavenly home;
make safe the way that leads on high,
and close the path to misery. Refrain

O come, O come, great Lord of might,
who to thy tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times once gave the law
in cloud and majesty and awe. Refrain

O come, thou Root of Jesse's tree,
an ensign of thy people be;
before thee rulers silent fall;
all peoples on thy mercy call. Refrain

O come, Desire of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind;
bid thou our sad divisions cease,
and be thyself our King of Peace. Refrain

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear. Refrain

JOEL SKOUSEN AND ANALYSIS OF THE SANDY HOOK KILLINGS

One thing I loathe is a site that is all about conspiracy theories - even though I know we are awash in them.  The reason I do not like them?  I have seen way too many people whacked out on psychotropics who believe in them and talk about them as if its a religion.  Much of their talk (including aliens) makes me quite ill, actually.  I cannot stand most AM talk radio if I turn it on in the middle of the night when driving home.

BUT, I do believe we have a government that is horribly corrupt - that there has been assistance by black ops in every major news item for decades now.  The government has handlers in every major press story.  How do I know?  I have talked to people that have told me first hand freaky stuff - I tend to tease the good stuff out of people.  Its a gift - I should have been an interrogator.....  I was in Flight Test during the TWA800 investigation and know much information that quite frankly, I wish I had never heard from trusted people (directly involved in debunking the official version - all lies!) who sat in my cube farm.  I DO NOT TRUST MY GOVERNMENT - nor do they.  I probably never will - and that was 15 years ago.  I pray for the next phase when our government is wiped out - all of them INCLUDING HATCH (and others) that many (in Utah) worship the ground they walk on.  The whole lot of them need to go.  Reid is in the top three - anyone who is LDS who voted for him and cannot see the evil - you are not my friend, I would not give a plug nickel for that individual.

Yeah - this is why this is not a political blog - because if I turned it into one, there would be secret service pukes at my door regularly..... for what I have to say about our modern-day Gadiantons.  I would love to actually love to rattle their cage hard enough to elicit a response - just so I could spit in their faces.... and have a great story.  Having lost a kid - and not fearing death after a lengthy analysis of things, I would be one unique nut for them to crack.  Most people bend under pressure.....I just get tougher and more pissed.  In the old days (if you have read my previous story about Preziosi and his pretended threat to my young family), I would have caved under pressure.  Not so much any more.  I would consider it an honor to die standing up to tyranny - I would love to have my blood under the tree of liberty.  Not spilled in some ridiculous foreign war looking out for some power-hungry freak's interests, but defending good principle or the lives of my family or loved one who follows good principles.   Once you get to that point; where property and life and limb are no longer your primary concerns and you have your trust 100% in God, you no longer worry and they cannot get to you.  Most people in power do worry about what people think of them, how they will hold their wealth and power, how they can get ahead at the expense of others.  It is the corruption and the dossier that of past documented deeds that are held over the gadianton - just as the initiates in a new gang or Skull and Bones or the deeds done at The Bohemian Grove (past post).  Go commit some unpardonable crime, that the others are aware of - and then there is no going back; you cannot escape their grasp.  Usually, when one is exposed and it ends up in the papers, it is because they are no longer useful or have chosen to leave the society.  Most do not because they are bound, so to speak in chains.  Those are the d'evil's tools - not pure principles of a godly realm.  The sealed portion of the Book of Mormon will reveal their secret acts - not so that they can be mimicked, but to show the people how they act so that the last vestiges of them can be discerned, then rooted out; the ones who do survive what Spencer said is coming.   For having dug in (they know when it will be), they will fall victim to their own demise in the very holes they have dug to attempt to protect themselves.  If allowed to witness it, I for one, will be rejoicing for years afterwards - regardless of what I am going thru by virtue of passing thru the parallel destruction.

I hallow the Constitution - but despise my government for what they have done to this country - and quite frankly, the world.  Most of us are too busy waving the flag to look up and see the mess we have created - the secret combinations that we have helped build up and cover the earth with a manipulated hell.  We (our CIA, our FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, our military (not those who serve, necessarily) and us as tax payers) are part of the whore that covers the earth oppressing the nations.  If you cannot see it, I am sorry for you.  I did not until a few years ago and finally read the Book of Mormon as if it were written for me - not for some other bloke.  Most of us will be freaked out and howling and asking what we did to "deserve this??" when we get the hell beat out of us in what is coming.  Many will feel to forsake their Maker for His "treatment" of them.  The reality that will be lost on most - is that they had forsaken their Maker long before when they stepped in formation behind the gads in government.  He has never departed from us - we left His side decades ago and have been wandering aimlessly in the desert.  He beckons, but we are past feeling.  Too numb to feel, too deadened to hear the whispering to return.

I wish I could say that Mr. Skousen were off; but he is not.  We have a government bent on the removal of weapons and the destruction of a sacred right to defend ourselves - not necessarily against an armed intruder, but from the very type of tyrannical government the Founding Fathers were fighting against back in the day!  I know what the end game is.  Visions of Glory spelled it out - I think he soft-pedaled just how bad it really is going to be (I note today an article in the paper of the ChiComs calling for the Sandy Hook incident to be the beginning of gun control in America).  Things are in a sad state.  I am sick to my stomach - and just a little hacked off; if you cannot tell.

Just in from Joel Skousen.  I was wondering if the Sandy Hook killings were a black ops killing like the Aurora, CO shooting.  Skousen does a great job of dissecting the inconsistencies in the news reports.

NEWTOWN SHOOTING: ANATOMY OF A PLANNED MASSACRE

There’s a much darker story to this shooting that goes way beyond the wanton killing of innocent children. It’s the story of dark side operations targeting young, unstable males with mood altering drugs and mind control techniques—and then directing them to kill increasingly younger victims until Congress can be driven to legislate away the uniquely American right to self-defense with guns. This week I’ll cover the contradictions in the multiple versions put out by media and police, and the way mind control operates in combination with dark spiritual forces. Lastly I’ll discuss how there is no solution nor protection against these provoked massacres in gun free zones without removing the restrictions on the right of personal self-defense both inside and outside of school. More gun bans are the last thing we need.

Only a few of the facts in this tragedy are reported consistently—Adam Lanza presumably killed his mother Nancy and then broke into the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT somehow bypassing the new locked-door policy. When it was over 20 young children are dead, ages 10 and under (primarily in two classrooms), plus 6 adults not counting Adam. The mother was erroneously reported as a teacher at the school.

The rest of the story and reported evidence emerging among the news stories varies widely. The facts are complex to piece together because so many news stories contradict themselves. This all paints a clear picture, however, of a systematic cover-up by police spokespersons and media and the real facts point to a larger conspiracy to drum up more gun control laws.

In reality, some of the more innocent reporters in the media often get it right initially, filming and posting interviews of victims, police and bystanders who are too honest and candid, and who haven’t yet been shut down or pressured into denying or changing their story. This happened in Oklahoma City, in the TWA 800 shootdown and during 9/11. When the evidence or statements don’t match the desired outcome the facts start changing or disappearing from the news. Contradictory reports even get taken down from news websites. Here are some glaring examples in this case:

1. The single perpetrator claim. Except for a few honest reports at the beginning, this Newtown incident has been focused on a lone gunman, and yet witness interviews, police radio recordings and videos show 2 to 3 other persons involved and at least two vehicles besides the Lanza car were driven to the school.

            A. Police helicopter video shows the pursuit and capture of someone fleeing the scene with a rifle into the woods, who comes out in handcuffs saying “I didn’t do it.” Do what? How did he know kids that were being shot? If you only heard shots, it could have been just teachers or administration? The purpose of armed handlers surrounding the incident is to either increase the body count or just make sure the drugged-up and mind controlled patsy can be eliminated if the suicide programming doesn’t work. They don’t want to take a chance on the shooter being captured. When the drugs wear off, chances are high he would talk about the others who put him up to the crime. That’s the rationale for suicide programming, multiple backup killers, and the subsequent cover-up to get those handlers released.

This is the same thing that happened in the Dunblane, Scotland killing of children in a school: “Like Newtown there were two shooters, Hamilton and a hit-man who shot Hamilton and made it look like Hamilton committed suicide after shooting 16 children, so that he couldn't be questioned. Hamilton was found in the school gymnasium slumped against a wall and still gurgling, when an off-duty policeman PC Grant McCutcheon entered the gym and saw two semi-automatic pistols, one on either side of Hamilton's body. [However,] The autopsy revealed that Hamilton was killed with a .38 revolver. These people always slip-up with their crimes. There was no .38 revolver for him to have shot himself with. Thus, there was a second shooter who killed Hamilton.”

            B. Police voice recordings at a different time talk about stopping a van and apprehending another person outside the school who is handcuffed and laying prone on the asphalt. The policeman says, “I have the party proned out.”

            C. One of the children being interviewed as he comes out of the school says he saw the police with a guy handcuffed on the floor inside the school. That can only mean a couple of things: either Lanza didn’t kill himself; was subsequently taken down, and handcuffed, or there was another shooter inside to make sure Lanza got suicided, and he was taken down. If the person seen handcuffed on the floor was Lanza, that means he was killed afterwards by someone else who had custody of him.

            D. SGT Report.com covered the other van and pair of suspects that were detained. This was from a raw audio exchange between police as the shooting was happening. “This is the first responder police radio recording first posted by the Houston Chronicle, then by the NY Post. At 44 seconds, the police relay a teacher’s report that she saw ‘two shadows running past the gym.’ (Now keep in mind that according to the 'official' story the ‘lone’ shooter has killed himself.) At 55 seconds, the police officer reports a van coming toward him with two occupants, he then says at 1 minute 30 seconds he has them ‘proned out’ (lying on the ground face down). At approximately 2 minutes, they report the New Jersey plates of the van, and the rental car company registration. These two men are in addition to the ONE man dressed in camo pants who the police arrested in the woods near the school. That makes THREE men in addition to the Adam Lanza.”

2. Weapons used claim: Initial reports by police said that the shooter was found dead with two 9mm semi-auto pistols (a Glock and a Sig Sauer) and that the floor was “littered with 9mm shell casings.” The police told media that besides the two guns, they found an AR-15 .223 Bushmaster assault rifle in his car that was registered with his mother. Then after the first day, the story changes to the assault rifle being used in the school and the floor being “littered with .223 shell casings.”

How convenient when the easiest thing to get out of this tragedy is an assault weapon ban. In order to do that, the guilty weapon has to be a semi-auto rifle. When you have this kind of dramatic change in story, it’s almost impossible to get police to retract the current and latest version, which fits the agenda.

To muddy the water further, Huffington Post now claim that “the rifle was found next to Adam Lanza’s body” — AND that “three other guns have also been recovered, but it was not clear where they were found, an official told AP. They were a Henry repeating rifle, an Enfield rifle and a shotgun”. These were not mentioned before in what police found inside Lanza’s vehicle and it’s doubtful he could carry all these long rifles with him as he broke through the glass to the side of the locked door. That’s a very cumbersome entry with an armful of long rifles!

3. Coroner’s remarks: Dr. H. Wayne Carver said, “All the victims of the Connecticut elementary school shooting were killed up close by multiple rifle shots.” This may or may not be true depending on the conflicting reports about the weapons used inside the school. Coroner’s have a notorious reputation around the nation for being subject to political pressures to falsify conditions of death in cover-ups. It happened in the JFK assassination. It happened in Los Angeles in the Breitbart “heart attack” case – and in that case, the coroner himself ends up being suicided afterward.

The problem with the coroner’s statement is that with small children, high powered bullets tend to pass right through the body and not stick around for examination, as he claims. If they were rifle rounds, there wouldn’t be hardly any rounds left in the bodies to examine. But, depending on where a person is shot, high velocity rounds they do great damage and the exit hole is much larger than the entrance. This is important because if the shooter was using 9mm pistols, then the Coroner’s report has to match. It does not. It only matches the assault rifle later claims, which may be an indication of collusion to pin the blame on assault rifles, which in this case fire the .223 caliber.

He could have deduced the rifle bullet theory by the damage. The .223 round, about 55-65 grains in weight, does horrendous damage due to its velocity in excess of 3,000 feet per second (fps). The bullet will often tumble and fragment after penetrating about 2.5 inches of flesh. Here’s a military medical description of how velocity matters, especially for a small weight bullet:

“In the surgical world, the accepted threshold for separating high power from low power projectile injuries has been set at 2000 feet per second. That velocity has been chosen because more than that, the hydraulic shock wave creates a temporary stretch cavity [TSC] severe enough to disrupt surrounding tissues significantly [and even break bones by the shock wave] . Below that, and the TSC is not a factor to contend with, surgically speaking... It will not only disrupt the surrounding tissues but this temporary cavitation when it struck elastic tissue such as the lungs and intestines it simply pushes these organs aside causing minimal immediate damage but when solid organs are struck this causes the organs to tear apart or explode such as the liver, spleen heart and kidney.”

4. Missing Evidence: The public is being denied access to the school’s security cameras which would shed light on whether or not Lanza was the only shooter or participant. Deliberate denial of video footage is typical of every other cover-up managed by the federal government—OKC and 9/11 in particular.

While I have already commented on various aspects of this conspiracy, let me describe in a more systematic way this disturbing pattern of using drugged up patsies to commit these acts of horrifying terror.

1) They search out young, unstable males who already have established a pattern of anti-social behavior and put them on psychotropic drugs to alter their mood or mental state.

2) At some point they are assigned one or more handlers who in a variety of ways plant the idea of a dark plot in the target’s mind to kill innocent people with guns. There is no other motive other than to kill a large number of people, which is very strange—and doesn’t happen in any other normal criminal settings. It doesn’t even happen with the mentally ill, unless also programmed to kill.

3) It almost always wear a mask or hoody and end up committing suicide. Why care about who sees you if you are intending to kill yourself? The Batman movie shooter, James Holmes was an exception to this—he didn’t commit suicide—but strangely, he’s not being allowed to come out of his drugged state. He is being kept incommunicado by the government who has a doctor visiting the jail to keep him on mood altering drugs–perhaps to ensure he maintains his programming. Early on, however, he apparently had a moment of coherency when he admitted things to his cellmate. According to an interview with Alex Jones, “An alleged inmate of ‘Batman’ massacre culprit James Holmes claims the shooter told him that he was ‘programmed’ to carry out the massacre by an ‘evil’ therapist [working for the dark side of government].”

4) Lastly, there is always the inevitable cover-up of the presence of multiple participants, by police and media, converting the story to a “lone gunman” tale.

That’s the pattern and it almost never varies. The three keys to this pattern that are particularly unique are 1) no motive other than to kill —which only occurs in these terror massacres; 2) the use of mood altering drugs; and 3) suicide to end it all. These are not present in attacks with criminal motives but 1 and 3 do show up in anti-US jihadist suicide bombers but these are always motivated by a larger cause or agenda. In our domestic cases, the larger motive is being provided by the black ops handlers (gun control), and the patsy probably is never told what that is.

These tactics worked surprisingly fast to strip the British of their gun rights. It only took one such incident in the aforementioned Dunblane, Scotland school to do it. A pedophile active in scouting and boys clubs murdered 16 children and their teacher in a local school. In America, where gun rights are enshrined in the Constitution, it is taking many more such incidents to drive the agenda, and they won’t stop until all guns are banned.

As one British blogger lamented, “Newtown is the U.S.A.'s Dunblane, which was orchestrated in

Scotland in 1996 by the British establishment, to whip up hysteria in order to ban all handguns from the U.K. It was preceded by the Hungerford Massacre in England in 1987, which was carried out by mind-controlled Michael Ryan, who then shot himself so he could not be questioned, and it was used to ban semi-automatic rifles and shotguns.”

There are several other elements to this pattern that are worthy of note:

1. The frequency of attack on innocent people is increasing, showing increased desperation by the dark side of government to drive the gun ban agenda.

2. The targeted areas are always relatively gun free zones: schools, shopping malls and movie theaters.

3. While shopping malls and schools have always been the target of choice, to get the necessary shock effect on people, the age of the target victims has now been going down to the incomprehensible age of early elementary children.

The horrific results are always followed up by a coverup of the facts surrounding the presence of the target’s handlers. That’s part of the reason why this has to be a black operation —only government agents have the persuasive power to threaten honest police officers with their jobs or lives in order to suppress the evidence which would suggest a conspiracy. Only government has the power to uniformly stop the media from reporting, or worse, by burying the reports even after reported, as happens in every recent case.

The Newtown massacre has overshadowed the events of the previous week at the Clackamas town Center Mall near Portland Oregon. While there is no evidence of more than one shooter, it is highly likely that other handlers were around in the crowds observing, ready to act. Interestingly enough, at the Town Center Mall, there was a concealed weapons holder present, 22 year old Nick Meli, who could have engaged Roberts, but he hesitated until too late. Too bad. It would have been a great story about how concealed weapons can stop this kind of thing.

Jacob Roberts, the Oregon shooter, had stolen the AR-15 rifle from a friend, and had indicated that he “needed a gun” and was planning on leaving for Hawaii. He was identified by a relative by a tattoo on his body. Roberts was clearly calculating in his moves, not freaking out–which belies claims that all these guys are just “mentally ill.”

Notice another pattern here. All of these attackers in recent events have had typical signs of weird behavior—special tattoos, male earrings, or orange dyed hair, and mood altering drugs.

Mental Illness being blamed: There are a lot of pundits trying to blame this action on various forms of mental illness. Several articles claim Lanza had a rare form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. The mother’s sister recounts how Lanza’s mother had despaired about the deteriorating behavior of her son. But these are grey areas that also describe a lot of modern day teens who get tattoos, have multiple piercings and who get involved in dark, morbid activities like video games. Yes, I do think violent video games make youth more calloused to killing, but the real link comes when youth start drifting into evil worship and skirt the edges of the occult.

Articles have appeared pushing for more forced incarceration to protect the public. That’s also bad for liberty.

Dr. Richard Friedman, writing in the NY Times discounted the mental illness violence claims: “There is overwhelming epidemiological evidence that the vast majority of people with psychiatric disorders do not commit violent acts. Only about 4 percent of violence in the United States can be attributed to people with mental illness [and that can be cut in half because of the high incidence of criminals claiming to be mentally ill when they are not]. This does not mean that mental illness is not a risk factor for violence. It is, but the risk is actually small. Only certain serious psychiatric illnesses are linked to an increased risk of violence.

“One of the largest studies, the National Institute of Mental Health’s Epidemiologic Catchment Area study, which followed nearly 18,000 subjects, found that the lifetime prevalence of violence among people with serious mental illness — like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder — was 16 percent, compared with 7 percent among people without any mental disorder. Anxiety disorders, in contrast, do not seem to increase the risk at all [unless being manipulated under the effects of mood altering drugs]. Alcohol and drug abuse are far more likely to result in violent behavior than mental illness by itself.” True.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute makes the case that psychotropic drugs are far more dangerous than guns: “12 years ago, I asked a very pointed question in a press release sent to the National Wire Service immediately following the killings at Columbine High School. A few days after the Virginia Tech Massacre, I again asked the same very direct question. And today, after the Newton Connecticut massacre, I am once again asking the very same pointed question...

“I am asking, ‘How many times must we experience another Littleton, Colorado or Virginia Tech or Newtown Connecticut before we wake up, study the research and adopt policies which actually reduce crime and begin saving our children instead of leaving them helpless victims when the next psych drug user snaps?’

“After Columbine, while most journalists and lawmakers focused on whether or not my answer to protecting children by arming teachers was the right solution, it seems everyone missed my understanding of the root cause that drove these kids to commit such atrocities! The root cause was and continues to be the psych drugs that are being pushed on our children! In some cases children as young as kindergarten age!”

Mood altering drugs are also the number one cause of suicide today. More accurately, the suicidal tendencies of patients rises dramatically during the time they are weaning themselves off mood altering drugs.

As much as I am against the use of these drugs, I don’t believe there is a direct causal relationship between drugs and killing or suicide. That’s why it only happens to a few who take the drugs. Let me explain what I have discovered after dealing with several youth who have been put on these drugs.

I once had the opportunity to counsel a friend’s teenage daughter who was having real problems in school—drugs, morals and a bad attitude at home. As many of my readers know, I’m a big believer in listening to conscience as the key to teaching kids to be self-controlled rather than parent controlled and to teach them to make good decisions based on the input from conscience.

This involves implementing two core rules of conduct which every successful persons uses, even if not conscious of it:

1. Never do anything you feel nervous about, as to the correctness. (These are the warning signals that what you are about to do is wrong, or not quite right. It forces you to reevaluate and change course).

2. Always force yourself to do what you know you should do, especially when you don’t feel like it. (This is the key to overcoming apathy and depression. This is the key to listening to the prompting we all get to move forward in a positive direction, and these promptings are a direct counter to the Satanic depression that plagues so many who get into lazy habits).

The girl tried this for a while and told me she hated the voice of conscience. My talk with her had awakened her ability to hear it, but she didn’t want to do what was right, so she hated the voice. That’s a dangerous thing, because it is an open invitation to listen to the evil voice of Satan who is constantly looking for opportunities to influence us and take us down the wrong path. Clearly she now disliked me as the source of that uncomfortable counsel, so I discontinued trying to help.

About a year later, I was over at my friend’s house and she came home while I was there. She seemed fairly normal, and no longer bothered by things. I asked her what made the change, and she proudly said, “My meds.” She had left home in her rebellious state and had eventually gone to a counselor who put her on mood altering drugs. Success? Not really.

She further explained that she hadn’t really changed her ways, but that while on the meds, she could no longer hear that “awful” voice of conscience nagging at her—thus her “improved” state of mind. This was extremely significant to me. What she was revealing was evidence that these drugs, quite unknowingly, suppress that portion of the brain that receives spiritual signals.

Apparently both God and Satan whisper ideas to that center of the mind, but those ideas appear in our own vocabulary and grammar, so it appears as if we are talking to ourselves, or thinking on our own. Neither voice controls us, but we decide on what to listen to and act upon.

With a little attention to detail, we learn to distinguish the good from the bad and recognize when ideas suddenly pop into our mind out of nowhere to help or hinder us. Everyone has felt those little reminders to remember something we forgot to do, or have been tempted with small rationalizations which are the sign that Satan is whispering and countering the good promptings.

If these drugs suppress this receptor, this would explain why people don’t get suicidal while on the meds, but only as they are withdrawing. Most likely Satan is the first to swarm the mind with depressive thoughts. I’ve never met anyone who is about to commit suicide that doesn’t have Satanic depression controlling his or her mind—constantly driving him to kill himself.

One of Adam Lanza’s former friends admitted that Lanza was involved in devil worship. An earlier facebook page also listed his political affiliation as “anarchist, communism.” Lanza was clearly going done a dark path and setting himself up for becoming controlled.

As an aside, this is one of the reasons why I’ve always felt nervous about hypnosis. You are requested to “let go” and allow yourself to drift mentally. In such a passive state, it is easy for partial possession by darker spiritual forces to take place and implant ideas that affect you later.

Let me summarize the government’s attempt at mind control technology. We don’t claim to know everything about it, because it is still a closely guarded secret. In the MK Ultra tests, the government experimented on a lot of subjects (without permission of the subjects) to see what it would take to do mind control. They used a lot of experiment drugs like LSD.

By and large, it had only limited success, and then only with subjects who were fairly weak in personality and character. Nerdy type people were particularly susceptible, especially when subjected to hypnosis, drug therapy and physical or sexual abuse to break them down and make them dependent on their handlers for “safety.”

Both the CIA and the Russians developed a lot of mind control drugs that were amazingly powerful on certain types of people—nothing that could directly control thoughts, but they could induce power emotions of fear, guilt, sexual drive, or anger. Some types could never be successfully controlled, so the government would concentrate on selecting susceptible types.

Those types corresponded to people who have weak resistance to social peer pressure—and being socially backward like Adam Lanza was doesn’t mean he wasn’t still longing to be accepted. Typically, these types all have non standard hair cuts, do drugs, and have multiple tattoos or piercings because the are seeking for the approval of those that also do these things. All of the recent school or mall shooters show these kinds of signs. It’s not an absolute determinant, but rather a common precursor that indicates susceptibility to Satanic influence and mind control if they get noticed and are targeted by black operations.

In addition, the government has spent millions on researching the dark spiritual spectrum, and actively solicited knowledge through diviners, devil worshipers and witches. They gave this research a fancy name: Remote viewing, which Major Rich Dames became famous for—but it was nothing more than the old séance and necromancy of old. Don’t be fooled because some of these Remote Viewings come true. Satan has access to future events too, but putting out a few predictions that come true doesn’t mean the source is true. The selective truth part is the hook to get people dependent on the evil source, which will eventually lead them astray.

My personal belief is that Satan is as real as God, and he has an active part in the mind control being performed by the dark side of government—at least the part that goes beyond normal science. So, while all of these shooters have dark side government handlers, they also have Satan talking to their minds, driving them on to kill and then to commit suicide.

God permits all this because of His testing purposes on earth. That’s also why justice and judgement is temporarily denied or delayed. Someday there will be a cleansing of this kind of evil, but before that time comes, we need to be alert and defend ourselves and teach our children to recognize how systematic evil works in the world. I hope this discussion has been helpful to you.
