Whom shall we serve?



The last words that Pastor Kantheswar Digal ever spoke to his loved ones were "Nothing will happen to me. They know and respect me. Nobody will harm me." He said these words undoubtedly, to calm the fears of his family, then he left to check on the condition of his home in the troubled rural Indian state of Orrisa.
As he traveled back to his small village of Sankarakhole, the bus he was riding on was stopped by radical Hindus.
Singled out as a believer in the one true God, he was forcibly dragged from his seat and out onto the road. In the humid, dusty afternoon, the radical Hindus broke both of his legs, and began to torture the pastor of more than 50 years. They demanded that he give up his Christian faith and become a Hindu.
Pastor Digal is quoted as saying ""I am a strong believer in Jesus Christ, You may kill me but I will never become Hindu."
18 men participated in torturing this martyr for the faith. Enraged at his words and his unwaivering faithfulness to the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, they tied his hands and his legs and beat him.
They burned his face.
They broke bones all over his body.
They stripped him of everything but his t-shirt.
As a final detestable act, they pitched his limp and lifeless body into the river where it floated for days.
Meanwhile, Indian authorities arrested Christians for "forcible conversion" siding, it seems, with the very perpetrators of the incident, and not with the victims.
As Christians we are warned repeatedly that persecution will come into our lives, and we are to remain faithful and to count it as joy to suffer for the Gospel.
In the face of persecution Pastor Kantheswar Digal acted in the way all followers of Jesus would hope to act. He followed God through unimaginable suffering, through shocking acts of violence, and ultimately into the arms of his Savior.
As John so aptly recorded in the gospel of the same name, "I am is the true vine and ye are the branches."
As indwelt, born again believers, Gods spirit is constantly at work in us, sustaining us, working with us, remaking us and reshaping our very souls to look more and more like Jesus.
To that end we are to let Christs love shine into a dark world and to show the love of Christ to those whom we meet, believer and non. We are to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
The mysteries of God seem to turn on the very fact that believers such as Pastor Digal choose to follow this indwelt spirit of God even in the face of unspeakable horror. Pastor Digal lived out the phrase that I first heard Chuck Missler mention, "God doesnt want to be #1 in your life, He wants to be first on a list of 1."

Jesus himself even said "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

With this backdrop in our minds let us turn to a piece of scripture that is lately been somewhat maligned by parties somewhat less interested in manifesting the Word of God in truth and deed.
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor." Paul of Tarsus, in his letter to the Romans.

As KSLA Shreveport reporter Jeff Ferrell found out
, apparently the government has a vested interest in pulling good bible believing christians towards the interpretation of the aforementioned scripture-turned-unchecked-mandate-for-power. 'Pastors'* who are willing to 'play ball' are guaranteed first access to medical assistance, vaccines, and food for themselves and their family in the event of a natural disaster in return for helping to calm the public, and they use Romans 13 as their tool to manipulate.
As 'pastor' and clergy response chaplain Dr. Durrell Tuberville explains "...The government's established by the Lord, you know, and thats what we believe in the Christian faith, and thats what's stated in the scripture."
Despite 'pastor' Tuberville's likely unpropitious interpretation of Brother Paul's words, one would have a hard time finding evidence for that viewpoint anywhere else in the bible, assuming of course those willing to sell out God for c rations and a few aspirin had actually opened their bibles.
Indeed, the heros of both the Old and New Testament seem to repeatedly follow God and his commands in direct disobedience to the ruling authorites so often it at times seems standard operating procedure to those willing to follow the Lamb wherever he goes.
Acts records "Peter and the other apostles answered and said 'We ought to obey God rather than men.' "
In the book of Daniel, A law is passed that under penalty of death a golden image must be worshipped. In direct disobedience to the authorites, Meshach, Shadrack, and Abednego disobey the supreme potentate of the land. In direct defiance of the king, the law and earthly authority, they chose to obey the Lord, even in the face of death.
Later in that same book Daniel hears of a law commanding that under penalty of death the King must be worshipped only for thirty days, and no other God. The scripture seems to indicate that Daniel goes so far as to go directly to his house and worship the Lord, with the windows open, three times a day, as if the very breaking of the law was what Daniel was trying to accomplish.
Moses, no stranger to breaking laws, killed an egyptian trying to rescue his countrymen. Even his entrance into the house of pharoah as a young orphan was unlawful, as all male Jews were to be put to death.
Perhaps our best example of following God is Jesus, who repeatedly chastised the legalists of his day for making a mockery of the Law of Moses and using it for their purely selfish ends.
In a taste of what may be to come, the federal government seems to be intent on demonizing those with whom it disagrees with, if the recent release of the Missouri State police "MIAC" report is any indication. It states that anyone who is anti-abortion, pro-constitution, a supporter of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, or Bob Barr, should be considered a potential terrorist.
As the tempo and tenor of the war on terror mutates to targeting the homefront (perhaps its intended victim all along?...) we, as followers of the Lord need to seriously think about the example our brother in the Lord (and truthfully, I feel slightly sheepish using that term my respect is so great.) Pastor Kansthewar Digal has set before us.
Pray that it does not, but if and when the time comes to choose to obey God or to choose to obey the principalites and powers of this world, I pray and hope that each Christian will keep the eye firmly fixed on the prize and run the race to his or her fullest. I hope that they can recall the stories of Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego, and their contemporary, Daniel. I hope we will remember the quote of Polycarp, who, faced with being burned alive for not burning incense to the state sanctioned gods of Rome, said "Eighty and six years I have served him, How then can I blaspheme my King and Savior? Bring forth what thou will." I hope we will all exhibit the unwaivering commitment to the law and statutes of God, and not the 'cosmokratori.' of the earth.

*Authors note. I cant escape the feeling I am cheapening the memory of pastor Kantheswar Digal by using the same moniker for both he and Durrel Tuberville. In keeping with the admonishments in the book of Ezekiel, I therefore seek to separate the two by using quotations marks.

Patrick Henry, The Realist.



Once in awhile, when contemplating things to write about, something comes thru my inbox, that is a quote from someone about something noble, thoughtful, or positive. Meditating on the "good" makes one acutely sensitive to what is right and wrong in the world, and many times allows for me a stepping off point to further elucidate (hopefully!) and to polish, "scrub the rust off of", and, refashion into something witty and worth reading.
Other times, however, the nugget of truth shines so radiantly and so purely, that it needs but be carried to the table and reviewed to let it shine in all it luminsence.



This quote was delivered on March 23rd, 234 years ago.

"No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as
abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the
House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights;
and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those
gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite
to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.
This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of
awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing
less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the
magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is
only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the
great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep
back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I
should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of
an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above
all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the
song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part
of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we
disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and,
having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal
salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am
willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide
for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of
experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.
And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the
conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those
hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and
the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been
lately received?
Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not
yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious
reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which
cover our waters and darken our land.
Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation?
Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be
called in to win back our love?
Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and
subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen,
sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to
submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has
Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all
this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are
meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind
and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so
long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument?
Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years.
Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held
the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been
all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What
terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I
beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves.
Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which
is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have
supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have
implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the
ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our
remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our
supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with
contempt, from the foot of the throne!
In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and
reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope.
If we wish to be free — if we mean to preserve inviolate those
inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending — if we
mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so
long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until
the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained — we must fight! I
repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts
is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to
cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger?
Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are
totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every
house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction?
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on
our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies
shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a
proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our
power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and
in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force
which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight
our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies
of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the
active, the brave.
Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it,
it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but
in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be
heard on the plains of Boston!
The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace,
Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale
that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of
resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we
here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life
so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains
and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take but as for me: give me liberty or
give me death."
- Patrick Henry; March 23, 1775.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PRESS RELEASE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

30 MARCH 2009

INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXPERT DR. MICHAEL COFFMAN REVEALS THE DIABOLICAL UNITED NATIONS AGENDA BEHIND THE WORLDWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT, ON THE 30 MARCH – 3 APRIL 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Dr. Michael Coffman (www.discerningtoday.org), founder of Environmental Perspectives Inc. and CEO, Sovereignty International, Inc., discusses the real tyrannical international agenda disguised behind the aggressive worldwide environmental movement, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 30 March on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). Dr. Coffman distinguished himself over the course of a successful career in academia and industry as a premier environmental scientist, but left these lucrative positions to focus on the burden he received, as an active Bible-believing Christian, that the field was being directed by international players with an insidious agenda that was rapidly being unveiled and unfolding. His actions took the form of ministries composed of several embodiments, designed to address and expose the deception of the current environmental agenda, though means of education of the Church, government officials and others, and direct intervention on legislative and media levels. As an example, he and a few brave compatriots were able to help stymie, in the “eleventh hour”, United States Senate approval of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, which, if enacted, would have potentially taken approximately half of the United States' land and declared it as uninhabitable “wilderness areas”, which would have forced massive relocations and concentration of the populace, with valuable land being made “off limits” for the growth of food or other uses. In this show, Dr. Coffman convincingly counters each argument made by the “man-made global warming” community, exposing their fraudulent use of historical temperature data, the function of the sun in Earth's temperature cycles, and even the beneficial aspects of high carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. The means by which those with political agendas have “hi-jacked” the scientific community to promote their goals, in regards to the global warming issue and prior ideologies historically, such as Darwinistic evolution, slavery and eugenics, are also discussed, as well as the pressure placed upon the academic and government research communities to “tow the line” to maintain the flow of essential operating funds. The role of non-profit foundations, such as the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) within the United Nations, working in secret in promoting their sinister and draconian visions on the world's populations is also addressed. The compliant and supportive role the mainstream media, and even our educational system, plays in furthering their agendas and programming our youth, is also a part of this disturbing expose.

“Future Quake”, hosted by “Doctor Future”, is a daily Christian interview and news review radio program, focusing on issues and events that will soon impact our collective futures. It features interviews with international experts on the topics covered (such as recent guests Alvin Toffler, Joseph Farah and Dr. Jerome Corsi), with constructive, intellectual discussions intended to better inform the public and provide useful information to prepare for the days ahead. It airs each weekday at 4 PM on WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN, the most popular Christian talk station in Middle Tennessee, and extending into much of the Mid-South. For those that miss the live broadcast, prior shows are archived in .mp3 format for listening on demand at www.futurequake.com, or available as a podcast (under “future quake”) at I-Tunes (www.itunes.com).

Complacency

Complacency
Why did the U.S. citizen lay down his sword of vigilance?

*This article was written specifically to be read online. I deliberately used mostly online “clickable” references so my sources can be looked at and cross-checked easily. I expect the reader to at least look at the documentation I present. In today’s world of power lunches, workaholic, nose to the grindstone, deadline oriented professional life I realize that this might be difficult for some. Please, instead of skimming this article, spend some time with it. Read it, watch the video clips, mull over what I present, and only then accept or reject it.*

Best Regards,
Tom Bionic

“We the People” is the way the Constitution of the United States of America begins. In the history of governance it was a new idea. A revolutionary idea. Kings, Tyrants, Princes and Emperors I’m sure took notice that a government had been formed where the very people who were BEING ruled, now, for the first time, also had a say in what their government said and did. Through the ballot, ordinary citizens had input as to who ruled them, who their commander in chief was. No longer were the days where a maniac could rule with impunity and cause unimaginable travesty like the rulers of old.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caligula
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_III_the_Impaler

Our system of government was held in place with checks and balances, and a separation of powers.
http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_cnb.html

We as the people were checked as well. Our power was balanced among the other branches of government. But the driving force was self government on behalf of the many, and that at the end of the day “We the people” was not a catch phrase or sloganeering, like so many other states that stick the “Peoples Republic” in their name.
Within this idea we were expected as members of this new society to remain vigilant , to remain educated, and to cast our votes with diligence and intelligence. We were supposed to vote for what we felt was right and good, and what was in our self interest.
Unfortunately the phrase “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” has been a great axiom which can be applied to nearly evenly at all times to all powers. With respect to our country, slowly, imperceptibly, “We the people” have became more like a ruled population that is actively being lied to, actively being prodded, albeit gently, away from its founding documents and away from its God given rights of self government. Now, with rising prices in food, commodities, gasoline, as well as the looming catastrophe of in the derivatives and credit default swaps, things are beginning to get very strange, and is beginning to look of a real tragedy in the making. This is partly because we have been lied to, but is also due to our societal failures to be diligent with our duty as a citizen of a truely democratic republic.
In many ways it is like the Arabic story of the “camel’s nose under the tent”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel's_nose

Wherein an evil traveler comes upon a rich young prince camped out in the desert one cold night and asks the prince “rich young ruler, may I put my camels nose under the tent? It’s fiercely cold and the camel has worked all day for me. Will you allow it?” and the rich young ruler says “of course”. Later that evening the evil traveler asks “Rich young ruler, you have been so gracious as to allow the camel to put his nose under the tent. Will you allow him to put his whole head in the tent? It is deathly cold outside this night.” And the rich young ruler said “of course”. And on and on in incremental movements until the camel is inside the tent and the evil traveler has drawn his sword and is about to slay the rich young ruler while he sleeps.
So we find ourselves in the position of the rich young ruler. Incremental movements, subterfuge, and outright lies to the people of this country have brought our great republic to its knees. We, as a people, have been asleep and not vigilantly watching the government. We have not been staying awake and aware.
One might inquire if perhaps we can point concretely to a specific tangle of lies and deceit of which I speak. Of historical precedent are two such incidents from the last 50 years. One incident killed American sailors doing nothing more than following the orders of their superiors, the other proved to be a catalyst for a dramatic expansion of our police action in Vietnam.
Let us look at the first incident, the attack on the USS Liberty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a U.S. intelligence ship, USS Liberty, in international waters about 12.5 nautical miles (23 km) from the coast of the Sinai Peninsula, north of El Arish, by Israeli fighter planes and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War (a conflict between Israel and the Arab states of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The attack, which killed 34 U.S. servicemen and wounded at least 173, was the second deadliest against a U.S. Naval vessel since the end of World War II, surpassed only by the Iraqi Exocet missile attack on the USS Stark on May 17, 1987, and marked the single greatest loss of life by the U.S. intelligence community. The official inquiry by both Israel and the United States was that it was merely a case of mistaken identity. (ibid. and at the link below)

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ussliberty.html

However, during the ensuing inquiry Robert McNamara secretly ordered that the investigation conclude the incident was an accident, no matter what the evidence showed.
In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said then President Johnson and his secretary of the defense Robert McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary."

Boston was senior legal counsel to the Navy's original 1967 review of the attack. He said in the sworn statement that he stayed silent for years because he's a military man, and "when orders come ... I follow them."

http://www.prisonplanet.com/231003libertycoverup.html (archived AP article)

Even the former director of the CIA did not believe the official story.
"...the board of inquiry (concluded) that the Israelis knew exactly what they were doing in attacking the Liberty."- Former CIA Director Richard Helms
Richard Helms. Over My Shoulder. New York: Random House, 2003. ISBN 037550012X
It was "one of the classic all-American cover-ups," said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ussliberty.html

Let us be clear. In a signed affidavit the senior legal counsel of the official inquiry of the USS Liberty incident aligns himself with the former director of the CIA and a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman in calling the USS Liberty tragedy a deliberate cover-up.
The attack killed 34 American servicemen.
The next historical precedent of which I referred to earlier is the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_Incident

To review:” The Gulf of Tonkin Incident prompted the first large-scale involvement of U.S. armed forces in Vietnam. It was a pair of attacks carried out by naval forces of the Democratic forces of North Vietnam (North Vietnam) against two American destroyers, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy. The incident occurred on August 2 and 4, 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin.”
From Edwin E. Moise, Tonkin Gulf
The outcome of the incident was the passage by Congress of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which granted President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be jeopardized by "communist aggression". The resolution served as Johnson's legal justification for escalating American involvement in the Vietnam War, which lasted until 1975.

Skunks, Bogies, Silent Hounds, and the Flying Fish: The Gulf of Tonkin Mystery, 2-4 August 1964

[I]t is not simply that there is a different story as to what happened; it is that no attack happened that night. [...] In truth, Hanoi's navy was engaged in nothing that night but the salvage of two of the boats damaged on 2 August.

http://www.nsa.gov/vietnam/index.cfm

The problem in all of this is that the incident never actually occurred. We were lied to, and many, many young American men died from the resulting expansion of the police action in Vietnam. But don’t take my word for it, even the NSA’s official historian, Robert Hanyok, concluded that the attacks were completely staged, that documents were deliberately falsified and accounts were purposely altered.
“The historian's conclusion was the first serious accusation that the agency's intercepts were falsified to support the belief North Vietnamese ships attacked US destroyers on August 4, 1964, two days after a previous clash.
Most historians have concluded in recent years there was no second attack, but they have assumed the agency's intercepts were unintentionally misread, not purposely altered. The research by Robert Hanyok, the agency's historian, was detailed four years ago in an in-house article that remains secret, in part because agency officials feared its release might prompt uncomfortable comparisons with the flawed intelligence used to justify the war in Iraq, according to an intelligence official.
Matthew Aid, an independent historian who has discussed Mr. Hanyok's Tonkin Gulf research with agency and CIA officials, said he had decided to speak publicly about the findings because he believed they should have been released long ago.”

http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/washington-hid-damaging-vietnam-finding/2005/10/31/1130720481924.html

So if world leaders from recent history actively distorted the truth for their own ends, what are the world leaders of today saying and doing? Perhaps there is a trend?
Lets look at four prime examples, A businessman, a policy maker, a news anchor, and the leader of the free world.
Here are two quotes from David Rockefeller, matriarch to the influential Rockefeller family:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rockefeller

"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." — From Rockefeller's "Memoirs", (p.405).
I would like to point out in that quote that he openly admits that he’s working against the best interests of the United States, and that he openly admits that he is part of a secret network of people doing the same.
Here is the other quote;
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government which will never again know war, but only peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in the past centuries. It is also our duty to inform the press of our convictions as to the historic future of the century."

http://www.bilderberg.org/1991.htm

I would point out that in the above quote Mr. Rockeller specifically singles out several major sources of news involved in manipulating what is told to the world for its own purposes. He mentions specifically, “..It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years...”(ibid) I think this also may give insight to the deals that might have been made behind closed doors.
Lets look at another world leader, leading policy advisor Zbignew Brezinski. He is a much sought after thinker who has worked in many administrations. He is also widely credited with creating Al-Qaida, and enabling The Khmer Rouge:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski

He wrote a book in 1970 called “Between Two Ages” where he talks about creating incurable diseases and fomenting wars to reduce the worlds population by 80%. Here is a quote of his in regards to national sovereignty. He, along with David Rockefeller started the Tri-Lateral Commission, an organization who’s stated goal is global government. Speaking on sovereignty he says:
Sovereignty is a word that is used often but it has really no specific meaning. Sovereignty today is nominal . Any number of countries that are sovereign are sovereign only nominally and relatively.
And again, regarding his support for Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, which killed 2 million innocent Cambodians in the 70’s when that country was taken over by a madman:
“I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot. I encouraged the Thai to help the Khmer Rouge”.
He was the foreign policy advisor to John McCain from 1999-2000, He worked in the Clinton administration, and is Barak Obama’s foreign policy advisor.
Let us turn to another leader, perhaps the most well known newsman in history, Walter Cronkite.
Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. (born November 4, 1916) is a retired iconic American broadcast journalist, best known as anchorman for The CBS Evening News for 19 years (1962–81). During the heyday of CBS News in the 1970s and 1980s he was often cited in viewer opinion polls as "the most trusted man in America," because of his professional experience and kindly demeanor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Cronkite

Here is Walter Cronkite, caught on camera openly explaining that, “First the Americans are going to have to give up some of their sovereignty.” (at approx 4:50 into the video below) The speech of his was given at an acceptance award banquet from the World Federalist Association, an organization committed to global governance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDQAgPjv94M

Later in the same video he says, in response to his critics “Well join me, I am glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan.”(at approx 7:15). Also of interest in this video clip is the fact that then first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton taped a speech to congratulate Mr. Cronkite on his “achievement of working towards global government.”
If the most trusted man in America is openly calling for an end to the sovereignty of the U.S. citizen writ large, and openly asking “to sit here at the right hand of Satan.” then perhaps our diligence as citizens has been more lacking then we have first realized.
In a much darker vein, The links below are video clips of world leaders participating in a Molech ceremony. For those of you who do not know who Molech is, here is an explanation from Encyclopedia Brittanica:
Molech, a deity to whom child sacrifices were made throughout the ancient Middle East. The name derives from combining the consonants of the Hebrew melech (“king”) with the vowels of boshet (“shame”), the latter often being used in the Old Testament as a variant name for the popular god Baal (“Lord”).

http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9053271/Moloch

The ceremony is performed every July in Sonoma County CA. at the Bohemian Grove private club, near Monte Rio, off of Bohemia ave, near Bohemian hwy. The Bohemian Grove has been a private club since the late 1800’s, and reports of occultic ceremonies, homosexual dalliances by the worlds elite, bussed in male prostitutes, with former and current presidents, prime ministers and heads of state participating, seem almost too fantastic to believe.

The above link is to an aerial photo of Monte Rio. Zoom in and look for Bohemian hwy, and Bohemian avenue. At the dead end of Bohemian ave, is a dirt parking lot, which is typically where people meet to get the shuttle into the larger complex. The dense canopy of the redwood forest makes an absolute pinpoint as to where the molech ceremony takes place difficult, but buildings, dirt roads, and other structures are clearly visible.
Below is part 1 and 2 of the afore mentioned molech ceremony, complete with mock human sacrifice. The video was taken clandestinely at the gathering in 2000.

Here is a short video piece about some of the things that go on there। I urge everyone to watch the following clip. It is part of a longer documentary about the Bohemian Grove, which is also informative, from documentarian and radio host, Alex Jones.

As evidence to support the homosexual aspects of the Grove, here is president Richard Nixon discussing the rampant homosexuality that goes on at the week long event.

The idea of global governance is something that even presidents are familiar with. Here is president George Bush Sr. talking about the New World Order and the U.N. in an address to the American people given while he was President of the United States.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CWBTL33MpA

So taken together, we can infer that there are world leaders that have in the past obfuscated the truth, invented military incidents to expand their authority, and allowed American soldiers to die when the political ends justified the means. They seek global governance and meet behind closed doors, with the complicity of the media to further their dream. They even meet out in the woods and some perform occult ceremonies
So with history and practice of any number of elites in sight, lets take an overview of some current events going on now around the nation.
In Boston, the police are searching homes without a search warrant. Many scholars feel it is just a bald faced grab for more power. Some have even went on record as calling it an end run around the constitution.
"I just have a queasy feeling anytime the police try to do an end run around the Constitution," said Thomas Nolan, a former Boston police lieutenant who now teaches criminology at Boston University. "The police have restrictions on their authority and ability to conduct searches. The Constitution was written with a very specific intent, and that was to keep the law out of private homes unless there is a written document signed by a judge and based on probable cause. Here, you don't have that.”

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/11/17/police_to_search_for_guns_in_homes/

This same program is being implemented in cities all over the United States, such as Oakland California, and Washington D.C.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=dd0_1208015381

As recently as last month, there was ”Operation Sudden Impact”. It was a secret operation which targeted citizens as potential terrorists, another clear violation of the constitution. In Shelby county TN, 50 state law enforcement agencies joined together to proactively search for terrorists. They randomly searched cars, set-up “terror” check points and even climbed on boats on the Mississipi.

http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/apr/14/striking-02/

Even though Memphis has not had a terrorist attack they are using the money earmarked for terror to fight crime, with the idea that it might lead to the discovery of a terror suspect.
Then there is the fact that after 7 years of anti-terror rhetoric, the borders of our country remain largely undefended. In reference to border defence, one anonymous border patrol agents estimation to me was “The technology of the United States is GROSSLY underfunded”(sic). If terrorism is such a deathly threat, why are our borders not more closely guarded? Literally, any American citizen can drive right into Mexico on a dune buggy in large swaths of California, Arizona and New Mexico.
Further, If the potential leaders of the free world believe that terrorism is a big threat then why are they associating and dialoging with groups that actively support an open border policy?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,311890,00.html

As scary as that is, here is something potentially much worse. The entirety of digital communication is now being monitored by the NSA. I STRONGLY encourage you to watch this clip!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_qYGbieoMM

Retired AT&T employee Mark Klein hooked up what he refers to as the “big brother machine” at the AT&T Folsom Street facility in San Francisco. According to Mr. Klein, the NSA now vaccums up virtually ALL of the emails that are sent each and every day. I think that this is something we should all pause and seriously consider as a serious overstep of civil rights. This seems to me to be in direct and deliberate violation of “innocent until proven guilty,” one of the cornerstones of our judicial system.
Through talk show host Oprah, there is a completely out in the open, massive movement towards Occult Theology. I make mention of the daily portion of her broadcast devoted to “A Course in Miracles” or, ACIM. The Course is said to have been "dictated" to atheist psychologist Helen Shucman by "an inaudible voice," who, she claimed, later identified himself as "Jesus".

http://www.apologeticsindex.org/c08.html

Further, the U.N. has endorsed http://www.iiihs.org/. They’re stated goal is to “work in many nations towards the convergence of new sciences with spirituality.” They actively promote spiritism, trans-mediumship , Universal Human Experiences of Psyche, Spirit, & Transformation, and “Psychic Readings” right on their welcome page. The focus is to create a “one world religion.”
Can we even guarantee the government will carry out the laws that are currently on the books?
If we can take the imprisoning and beating of Border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Campean as a preview of what is to come, then we a have very real reason to worry.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,250574,00.html

Or perhaps you have seen how the government has been working with clergy to form teams to help keep the public complacent during gun confiscation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRIDNQNsUss

Where is the activism? Where is the diligence of the American people to protect their inheritance of self government? Can it be that we have become so complacent that we care not for the very direction of our country? Would you have voted differently if some of these issues had seen the light of day? How would world events have come out differently if we had perhaps seen some of this on the evening news and voted based on that?
Speaking for myself, I am grieved. I feel that I have been lied to and was not diligent earlier in my life. I would like to think that I would have lived a very different lifestyle, that I would have spoken up more, and I would not have voted for whom I did.
Michael Chertoff, in a recent speech given at the Heritage Foundation said “ That we need to have a non-politicized, serious debate while writing new laws to define the best way to combat terrorism.” He went further and chided the public, saying “the public should not second guess government actions and claim that federal officials are overstepping their authority.”
Some say that we need to trust the government. Given the above list of referenced quotes, articles, and video clips, is blind faith given by us to the government really warranted? Should we not actively watch and participate, as the founders intended? As end rulers in a self governed society and not as automatons herded into a corner? If we as a people perceive that there are massive abuses of authority don’t we have the sovereign right and duty to renege on that faith and reign in the perpetrators?
Some say trust God. I cannot agree more. My God is bigger than all of this, and I have no doubt He will win in the end. Believe me, I know whom to trust. But the issue becomes clouded by equating my trust in God with my trust in my government. In the gospel of Luke as Jesus is teaching a crowd he says

”35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

How many Christians today are guilty of exactly the same thing? How many of us tithe our time and our treasure and overlook the larger issues of social justice. We go to church, we tell one another “God bless you brother!” and when we see others hurting, others in pain, others with life shattering problems, we turn a blind eye. When we see the government we could have stopped, participating in warrantless acts of war, deliberate railroading of justice, we tune out to our responsibility as followers of Jesus.
I think this same spirit applies to us as Americans as well. We have been given a historic opportunity unique in the world and we have botched it. We laid down our sword of vigilance because of complacency. We have screwed it up. It is our fault, and perhaps now it is too late.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PRESS RELEASE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

23 MARCH 2009

AUTHOR WILLIAM GRIGG DISCUSSES THE GROWING MILITARIZATION WITHIN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ELSEWHERE IN AMERICA, AND THE PROPER CHRISTIAN RESPONSE, ON THE 23 – 27 MARCH 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – William Grigg, (www.willgrigg.com), author of “Liberty in Eclipse” and a number of other books, discusses growing evidence revealing the militarization of our civilian police force, and the increase in law enforcement's control of the populace and their daily lives, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 23 March on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). Mr. Grigg is a premier analyst and commentator on this topic, having monitored and documented this growing menace for many years, including in his popular on line “Pro Libertate” blog (www.freedominourtime.blogspot.com). In this foundational program, Mr. Grigg begins by discussing the traditional role of law enforcement in Western culture, consistent with common law principles, and the remarkable fact that for the majority of the history of society, it was accomplished successfully by the use of posses of deputized community members, led by a duly elected sheriff; this arrangement decentralized power throughout the community, provided enforcement of laws by one's “peers” (much like service on juries), and impressed upon every citizen their personal responsibilities regarding the establishment of laws, and their enforcement. The growing abuse of law enforcement power, concurrent with the establishment of permanent, segregated (form the public) professional law enforcers in the latter 1800s, is also briefly discussed, and its real growth in the early 20th century, such as the massacre of our own World War I veterans by Generals MacArthur and Patton, under the direction of our President, and its roots in the routine abuse of the indigenous Indian tribes. The origin of SWAT teams in the 1960s, in concert with perioidic operations against protesting citizens, is shown as evidence of the “modern era” rise in the militarizing of the civilian police force. More recent developments, such as the use of military troops (against Constitutional prohibitions) to disarm citizens during Hurricane Katrina, the attacks on living communities such as Waco, and the recent activation of the first Army brigade on American soil with the expressed mission to quell domestic civilian unrest, are also reviewed as further evidence of this acceleration in the constricting force of law enforcement on the public. The recent Congressional funding of widespread internment camps all over America is also briefly mentioned as an ominous development that bears further observation. The show concludes with the responsibilities that Christians bear, within their communities and in their families, to bravely deal with this threat, and to respond to these responsibilities in a Christ-honoring way.

“Future Quake”, hosted by “Doctor Future”, is a daily Christian interview and news review radio program, focusing on issues and events that will soon impact our collective futures. It features interviews with international experts on the topics covered (such as recent guests Alvin Toffler, Joseph Farah and Dr. Jerome Corsi), with constructive, intellectual discussions intended to better inform the public and provide useful information to prepare for the days ahead. It airs each weekday at 4 PM on WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN, the most popular Christian talk station in Middle Tennessee, and extending into much of the Mid-South. For those that miss the live broadcast, prior shows are archived in .mp3 format for listening on demand at www.futurequake.com, or available as a podcast (under “future quake”) at I-Tunes (www.itunes.com).

Welcome to the Future Quake radio blogspot!

Welcome to the Futurequake radio blog!

It is my sincere hope that your find something here that might be enlightening, entertaining, or otherwise intellectually stimulating.

In keeping with the theme and purpose of futurequake, I am going to strive to make this a place to further elucidate on themes, issues, and events that may likely change the way the world is viewed and our interaction as we pass through it. It will undeniably be a "Christian" blog, in that Christ crucified and resurrected as a propitiation for my personal sins and affronts to God is the central fact of all history. Jesus will be the central flavor here. Towards that end I would like to concoct a palettable mixture of intellectual commentary, mixed with subtle entendre, humor, and perhaps even a touch of irony.

This blog will differ somewhat from the futurequake.com main website, in that while it will feature the content from futurequake, including the weekly WENO AM 760 broadcasts, press releases, goings on, and other events, It will also feature expanded content. Occasional articles from myself, as well as news stories of note, ongoing commentary on themes relevant to the radio show, and possibly even a guest article from other people besides Dr. Future or myself.

I am sure that there will be content here that you may not totally agree with. As iron sharpens iron, Lets continue to bring forth a greater understanding of the times we live in, the scripture and most importantly, Jesus.

Sincerely;

Tom Bionic
