From a Humanist to a Rock!




When God grabs ahold of someone, sometimes the process of change is alittle gradual, with fits and starts. Other times its an amazing change, that completely changes the people it touches. Everyone notices it.
I was at a baptism one time, and the lady being baptized gave perhaps the greatest, most touching compliment that a follower of Jesus could ever give to another. When asked why she wanted to be baptized, she said "Because Jesus is my Lord and savior, and because I saw the difference it made in the life of my son. The change was remarkable. I want to know Jesus like my son knows him!"
This is how it was with the disciples. They got the holy spirit in Acts 2 and it was like a 180 degree change. I sometimes wonder if this is exactly why Jesus picked these people. Because he knew that more than anyone else, these guys were going to be changed men that everyone would see!
Lets look at two of the twelve disciples.
Now, John called himself the beloved disciple. Alot of commentators tend to think that there was some special relationship between the two, and I believe there was as well. However, Im not sure its like many commentators have said, in that Jesus and John were like best buddies. I think its more like John was such a mess, perhaps Jesus extended special grace to him. The "spoiled rich kid, that thought he was entitled to everything." That would be a good analogy for understanding his personality.
Heres why I think that.
John presents himself in his gospel as the disciple whom Jesus loved. But to look at some of the stuff that John did speaks of being self interested in the extreme.
He was one of the brothers called “Sons of Thunder.”, and many think thats because he and his brother were always arguing. "Boarnerges" or “Sons of thunder”, whatever else it might mean, means strength, unexpectedness, and zeal approaching to violence.
He wanted to call fire down from heaven on everyone that opposed him.
He had a home in Jerusalem, and was acquainted with many there.
He and his brother even used their own mother to try to seek the best seat in the kingdom.
We know that his father, Zebedee was a man of considerable wealth from the fact that he had “hired servants”.
Yet after he begins to tell the story of the resurrected messiah he seems a completely different man. Just a cursory read shows that John was changed. Instead of a “Son of Thunder,” he was constant in his never-failing expressions of love. He is known as the “Apostle of Love” – a total cataclysmic change, having met the resurrected messiah, seen the empty tomb with his own eyes and even eaten a meal with him.
When referring to himself in his Gospel he repeatedly calls himself "The disciple whom Jesus Loved."
He writes five books of the New Testament. He is with Peter and James, the Lord's brother, at the interview with Paul recorded in Gal 2, and the three are described as the pillar apostles.
John was changed from a spoiled rich kid who put his own mother up to asking for the best seat, wanting to call fire down on everyone who opposed them, to being a man who spoke constantly about love. A 180 degree shift. This doesnt happen for a lie.
Now lets look at Thomas.
By the way, Thomas is probably my favorite disciple.
When I first heard gene scott that mention thomas went to india I had go and do a bunch of research.
Tradition holds that Thomas was the disciple picked to go to India.
Regarding the apostle Thomas on the Malabar Coast of India (Present day Kerala) we have a very ancient narrative from a manuscript preserved by an old family at Palayur. It literally dates to the SAME time as Thomas's early preaching in and around the malabar coast. Now, only indian scholars have been able, or really cared to examine this letter, but it is known to exist, although is not widely known outside of India. It even holds the names of some of the original families that were converted because of Thomas's preaching. Tradition holds that the waterway on the left is where Thomas baptized the first Indian Christians in that part of India, after arriving there by boat.
It was understood by most of the early church fathers that Thomas went to India Writings regarding Thomas's missionary work include:
3. St. Jerome (342- 420)
"He (Christ) dwelt in all places: with St. Thomas in India, Peter in Rome."
4. St. Gaudentius ( Bishop of Brescia, before 421)
"John at Sebastena, St. Thomas among the Indians, Andrew and Luke at the city of Patras are found to have closed their careers."
5. St. Paulinus of Nola (d. 431)
"Parthia receives Mathew, India St. Thomas, Libya Thaddeus, and Phrygia Philip".
Regarding archeological research in and around India:
We even have Thomas's burial site near Madras and, later his reinternment in Syria.
I can even give you directions to the one in India. To get to the original burial site of Thomas go eight miles from Fort St. George, Six Miles from South west of Santhome-de-Meliyapore (Burial Place of St. Thomas), Two miles from Little Mount, 300 Ft. above sea level. You can even go to google maps and type in st thomas burial site, india and it comes up.
Their are even crosses carved on stone in several locations along the malabar coast, some of which are attributed to Thomas's own hand by unbroken tradition.
We know the origins of Kerala's Christians dates back to 52 AD, when St. Thomas came to the region landing in the port of Cranganore near Cochin. He visited different parts of Kerala and converted local inhabitants including some from the upper sect known as Namboodiri Brahmins. It is also known that St. Thomas established Churches in seven places in Kerala ( Kodungallore, Palayur, Paravur, Kokkamangalam, Niranam, Chayal, Korakkeni, Kollam) and a chappal (half church-"Arappalli") at Thiruvankottu.
The present Christian populations have partially descended from these early groups. As I mentioned earlier we have some of the family names of some of the the very first Christians. They were Paklomattam, Shankarapuri, Kalli, and Kaaliyankavu in the north and Thayyil, Pattamukkil, Manki, and Madathilen in the south. They are popularly referred to as Syrian Christians because of the Syrian Liturgy which they continue to use in church services even to this day. They have also sometimes been called Nazaranis (as in followers of Jesus of Nazarene) or St. Thomas Christians.
Thomas brought along some of the traditions of his hebrew background as well. We can see shades of that even today in the Nazarani worship services. As I mentioned, Syriac (the classical form of Aramaic) liturgy is still used in church services and has been since the early days of Christianity in India. There are even consistent rumors that the Nazrani churches still contain the very earliest manuscripts of the gospels (Considered to have possibly been brought over with Thomas.) written in Aramiac that may be known, though thats unsubstantiated.
We talked a bit ago about Thomas coming with families to the malabar coast., If we are to look at genetic markers for possible ties to semetic people we see, There is Y-DNA, specifically J2 Cohen paternal lineages in many Nazranis even today. Further, the J2 Cohen Modal Haplotype and the R1a1 Levite Modal Haplotype are common genetic signatures that have been found in many of the Nasranis that have been tested as well. I'm not a biologist or genetics expert, but from what I've read that pretty conclusively proves that many of them have a Jewish genetic ancestry that links them specifically to the levite line.
There are even ancient folksongs that mention Thomas, a foreigner coming to the Kerala area and preaching a foreign God.
So why all this about Thomas.
So here we have a mountain of evidence that shows that Thomas the doubter was catastrophically changed and picked to go to the philosophical center of the world at that time. This was where buddism, hinduism, and brahmism all came from. The one who consistently did not believe in Jesus as God incarnate, the one who was willing to follow to the death, but was not willing to call him messiah until he saw the wounds was till the very end an unshackable rock, going to his death, alone, 300 feet up a hillside 8 miles south and west of the present day fort st. george military base.
John, Peter, Thomas, Andrew and the rest of the disciples were catastrophically changed, which is pretty unlikely to happen if they were all believing a lie. To die in a strange land, alone, when recanting your story is all that will get you out of trouble. All the apostles, save John, went to their deaths, enduring horrible martyrdom. Bartholemew was skinned alive with a whip in Armenia. James was beheaded. Peter was crucified upside down at his own request, because he felt unworthy to hang in the same position as his Lord and Savior. You dont do things like that for a lie.
You only do things like if what you believe in is so real, so true so alive, that you talked with him, you ate with him, and he has changed you from the inside out.
We're talking about a Risen savior. One that can be proven as historic. One that you can, like Thomas follow wherever He may lead, knowning that beyond the grave lies an eternity with the creator of the Universe.

ANTI-GLOBALIST FREEDOM FIGHTER AND ORGANIZER HENRY LAMB UNVEILS NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHRISTIANS TO PROMOTE FREEDOM INITIATIVES AND “GET OUT OF BABLYON”, ON THE 27 APRIL – 1 MAY 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Henry Lamb, the legendary mastermind of numerous freedom-promoting and anti-globalism initiatives, the founder of “Freedom 21” (www.freedom21.org), and the “Environmental Conservation Organization”, and Chairman of “Sovereignty International”, reveals a number of positive opportunities now available to Christians and other concerned Americans to combat growing globalism and loss of civil liberties, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 27 April on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). In this interview, Mr. Lamb discusses his humble origins as a working man, without privilege or wealth to build upon, but a determination to earn an honorable living in this world, taking full advantages of the opportunity to become a “self-made man” via the traditional freedoms and values that our country espoused, up through the generation of his youth. However, his calling became manifest when obscure water runoff regulations, ironically originating in Iran, was enforced on his construction company in rural Tennessee, resulting not in his quiet compliance, but in a fierce determination to resist the imposition on his freedoms by distant, unelected foreign interests. This simple, unassuming man rather began to organize those with common interests, eventually leading him to the halls of the United Nations, to successfully stop sweeping, draconian international regulatory actions such as the Biodiversity Treaty, with a handful of ragtag, motley resistors of various professions and skills (including his colleague, environmental expert Dr. Michael Coffman, a recent guest on our show), via education of elected officials, organizing and raising awareness for key participants and decision makers. These activities have included his authorship of books such as “The Rise of Global Governance”, and his weekly columns for “World Net Daily”. His interests over the years have expanded to promote traditional values of freedom and self-determination as clearly recognized in the U.S. Constitution, which today face attack from law-makers and special interests at home, as well as globalist forces at the United Nations and elsewhere. Mr. Lamb discusses as variety of creative means of productively promoting freedom-preserving functions as part of an activist lifestyle, such as his ground-breaking formation of the “Freedom 21” Credit Union (www.freedom21fcu.org), which serves as a means of generating revenue for important causes that are not bank-rolled by wealthy corporate or government interests, and provides a secure, government guaranteed means by which individuals can invest their money and have it managed by Godly mentors, rather than greedy Wall Street bankers, in this eye-opening interview.

“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).

Lucky number 7!

Within any type of a message the first thing that is a given is that there is an entity at each end. One to send the information, and one to receive the information in a meaningful way. I know it sounds basic but you would be surprised out how many people get this wrong. If a message is sent but either sender or receiver is not there to take up his end of the communication process, no dice, no good, transmission unsuccessful.
Now if we break down and really begin to think about the idea "What is information?", We run into a strange way of thinking. At first the idea of just what is information closely constitutes a very slippery type of question, in that human beings tend to get the idea of communication and meaning from symbols by inferring both complexity and specificity.
For instance, if one were to go and wander out into the desert and come upon a stone with what appeared to be chiseled writing in an unkown language, even though we could not at that time, and perhaps never could, decifer the language on the stone we would still be able to see clearly that something put the marks in the stone, and that is was not random. One would infer (correctly) that design was present, because the strokes from a chisel did not appear to be ordered, and one would infer information because their were too many data points ( in this case the various symbols that we might refer to as letters.) to be able to pass the ordering off as a symptom of a repeated natural phenomenon.
So in the interest of keeping it nice and short, lets dive into a somewhat lengthy preamble to a message that, though no-one understands in its minutiae, we can certainly infer design from...

"Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:"
(Genesis 41:29 KJV)

"And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;"
(Genesis 41:30 KJV)

"And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years."
(Leviticus 25:8 KJV)

"And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:"
(Ezekiel 39:9 KJV)

"Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
(Daniel 9:24 KJV)

Going to the other end of the bible, to the book of Revelation, sevens are all over the place. We mentioned some of them earlier. There are SEVEN churches, SEVEN Spirits, SEVEN stars, SEVEN seals, SEVEN trumpets, SEVEN vials, SEVEN personages, SEVEN dooms, and SEVEN new things. some commentators have said that SEVEN symbolizes Spiritual Perfection. Noah took the clean beasts into the ark by SEVENS, and on and on and on. There are also some hidden sevens.

Heres a simple one. Of the books of the New Testament, we have a total of 9 church epistles.
They are Romans, 1st Corinthians and 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, Phillipians, 1st Thessalonians and 2nd Thessalonians.

Now theres a phrase at the end of the Colossian letter that seems to tie them together. The verse reads "When this letter has been read among you, have it read also in the church of the Laodiceans. And be sure to read the one from Laodicea"

so now there seems to be a connection between the book of Colossians and the letter to the church in Laodicea.

So then, is there a way to connect the rest of the letters? Well I'll leave it to the reader to come up with all of that, but if you take the letters of 1st and 2nd Corinthians as one letter and the letters 1st and 2nd Thessalonians as one...How many letters to churches do you have?

Seven.

This seems to point to the fact that the authors somehow knew what they were doing and coordinated what they wrote about over a period of 6-7 thousand years. Although at this point the complexity of information part of our question posed above is still in doubt, it would be logical to at least assume that their was some type of message being sent, although we cant say that concretely. At this point its just speculation, an interesting conundrum that needs investigation.

What we really need is more data.

It gets more interesting, there is actually at least one way we can interpret all of this data about the number 7, which is using it as a trial node to find other interesting data across other related but differently encoded symbol systems to see, for lack of a better word, "whats up".

Now Hebrew is a language that has no vowels, the vowel markings were added later. Since many words are only three letters long it makes it relatively easy to find hidden words using a skip code. There would be far more word matches in an ancient Hebrew text than in an English text with the same number of pages, and to that end, I am a bit skeptical of some of the Equidistant Letter Skips in the Old Testament.

However, what most skeptics of Bible codes seem to miss about the particular code we are about to look at is that we are taking a data point that seems to be statisically significant in a book that was written several thousand years later, a book that is seen as both predicting the future and tying together a myriad of holy books that were repeatedly prophectically accurate, in many places recording the very words of God, Believed to be penned by 40 emanuencies with God working through them in a sort of mystical way. Also, one was written in Greek, and one was written in Hebrew. Two completely different symbol systems used to send a message.
We are using the results of a statisically significant number in Revelation to look for statisically significant words encoded in Genesis.

Well, having laid the groundwork for all of this, lets take a look at Genesis.

In the Hebrew of Genesis, if you take the first "T", then count 49 letters, the next letter (the 50th) is "O"; the next 50th is "R"; and then the next 50th is "H". In other words, after the first "T", in 50 letter increments, we find the letters spelling Torah (TORaH). (See Figure 1.)

In the Book of Exodus, we also encounter a similar result. What a coincidence!

It doesn't seem to work with the third Book of Moses, Leviticus. But stay with me here.

In the fourth book of the Torah, the Book of Numbers, we discover this 49-letter interval works with HROT," that is, TORH backwards. (See Figure 2.) A similar 49-letter interval also appears in the fifth book of the Torah, the Book of Deuteronomy.

However, in the middle book, the Book of Leviticus, it doesn't seem to work either way. But it does work for YHWH, the sacred name of God ("Yahweh or Jehovah," translated "Lord" in the King James Version), if you count in seven letter increments. (See Figure 3.)

Here is the overview:

Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy
TORH TORH YHWH HROT HROT
---> ---> <--- <---

It appears that by using the number 49 (which is 7 times 7) the Torah (TORH) always points toward the Name of God.

So this brings us to my favorite "letter to the editor" ever.

Ivan Panin was born in Russia on December 12, 1855. As a young man he was an active nihilist and participated in plots against the Czar and his government. He was a mathematical genius who died a Harvard scholar and a citizen of the United States in 1942.

Panin was known as a firm agnostic - so well known that when he discarded his agnosticism and accepted the Christian faith, the newspapers carried headlines telling of his conversion.

It was in 1890 that Panin made the discovery of the mathematical structure underlining the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament. He was casually reading the first verse of the gospel of John in the Greek: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and the Word was God...".

Panin was curious as to why the Greek word for "the"' preceded the word "God"' in one case and not the other. In examining the text he became aware of a number relationship. This was the first of the discoveries that led to his conversion and uncovered the extensive numeric code within the new testament.

The numeric value of a word is the sum total of all its letters. It was curiosity that first caused Panin to begin toying with the numbers behind the texts. Sequences and patterns began to emerge. These created such a stirring in the heart of the Russian that he dedicated 50 years of his life to painstakingly comb the pages of the Bible

Well, For some months preceding Sunday, November 19, 1899 the New York Sun had been devoting the better part of a page of its Sunday edition to the discussion of the truth of Christianity. On that date it printed a letter from one W.R.L., in which he denounced Christianity, using the old oft-refuted "arguments" and challenged "some champion of orthodoxy to come into the arena of the Sun"

Ivan Panin stepped into the ring, and dropped his opponent with a single massive blow to the skull. That crushing uppercut was this letter.



Sir: -- In to-day's Sun Mr. W.R.L. calls for a "champion of orthodoxy" to "step into the arena of the Sun;' and give him some "facts." Here are some facts:

The first 17 verses of the New Testament contain the genealogy of the Christ. It consists of two main parts: Verses 1-11 cover the period from Abraham, the father of the chosen people, to the Captivity, when they ceased as an independent people. Verses 12-17 cover the period from the Captivity to the promised Deliverer, the Christ.

Let us examine the first part of this genealogy.

Its vocabulary has 49 words, or 7 x 7. This number is itself seven (Feature 1) sevens (Feature 2), and the sum of its factors is 2 sevens (Feature 3). Of these 49 words 28, or 4 sevens, begin with a vowel; and 21, or 3 sevens, begin with a consonant (Feature 4).

Again: these 49 words of the vocabulary have 266 letters, or 7 x 2 x 19; this number is itself 38 sevens (Feature 5), and the sum of its factors is 28, or 4 sevens (Feature 6), while the sum of its figures is 14, or 2 sevens (Feature 7). Of these 266 letters, moreover, 140, or 20 sevens, are vowels, and 126, or 18 sevens, are consonants (Feature 8).

That is to say: Just as the number of words in the vocabulary is a multiple of seven, so is the number of its letters a multiple of seven; just as the sum of the factors of the number of the words is a multiple of seven, so is the sum of the factors of the number of their letters a multiple of seven. And just as the number of words is divided between vowel words and consonant words by sevens, so is their number of letters divided between vowels and consonants by sevens.

Again: Of these 49 words 35, or 5 sevens, occur more than once in the passage; and 14, or 2 sevens, occur but once (Feature 9); seven occur in more than one form, and 42, or 6 sevens, occur in only one form (Feature 10). And among the parts of speech the 49 words are thus divided: 42, or 6 sevens, are nouns, seven are not nouns (Feature 12). Of the nouns 35 or 5 sevens, are Proper names, seven are common nouns (Feature 12). Of the Proper names 28 are male ancestors of the Christ, and seven are not (Feature 13).


Moreover, these 49 words are distributed alphabetically thus: Words under A-E are 21 in number, or 3 sevens; Z-K 14, or 2 sevens; M-X also 14. No other groups of sevens stopping at the end of a letter are made by these 49 words, the groups of sevens stop with these letters and no others. But the letters A, E, Z, K, M, X, are letters 1, 5, 6, 10, 12, 22, of the Greek alphabet, and the sum of these numbers (called their Place Values) is 56, or 8 sevens (Feature 14).


This enumeration of the numeric phenomena of these 11 verses does not begin to be exhaustive, but enough has been shown to make it clear that this part of the genealogy is constructed on an elaborate design of sevens.


Let us not turn to the genealogy as a whole. I will not weary your readers with recounting all the numeric phenomena thereof: pages alone would exhaust them. I will point out only one feature: The New Testament is written in Greek. The Greeks had no separate symbols for expressing numbers, corresponding to our Arabic figures, but used instead the letters of their alphabet: just as the Hebrews, in whose language the Old Testament is written, made use for the same purpose of theirs. Accordingly, the 24 Greek letters stand for the following numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800. Every Greek word is thus a sum in arithmetic obtained by adding the numbers for which its letters stand, or their numeric values. Now the vocabulary to the entire genealogy has 72 words. If we write its numeric value over each of these 72 words, and add them, we get for their sum 42,364, or 6,052 sevens, distributed into the following alphabetical groups only: A-B, have 9,821, or 1,403 sevens: G-D, 1,904, or 272 sevens; 3,703, or 529 sevens; TH-R, 19,264, or 2,752 sevens; A-X 7,672, or 1,096 sevens. But the numeric value of the 10 letters used for making these groups is 931, or 7 x 7 x 19, a multiple not only of seven but of seven sevens.

Let Mr. W.R.L. try to write some 300 words intelligently like this genealogy, and reproduce some numeric phenomena of like designs. If he does it in 6 months, he will indeed do a wonder. Let us assume that Matthew accomplished this feat in one month.

2. The second part of this chapter, verses 18-25, relates the birth of Christ. It consists of 161 words, or 23 sevens; occurring in 105 forms, or 15 sevens, with a vocabulary of 77 words or 11 sevens. Joseph is spoken to here by the angel. Accordingly, of the 77 words the angel uses 28, or 4 sevens; of the 105 forms he uses 35, or 5 sevens; the numeric value of the vocabulary is 52,605, or 7,515 sevens; of the forms, 65,429, or 9,347 sevens.

This enumeration only begins as it were to barely scratch the surface of the numerics of this passage. But what is specially noteworthy here is the fact that the angel's speech has also a scheme of sevens making it a kind of ring within a ring, a wheel within a wheel. If Mr. L. can write a similar passage of 161 words with the same scheme of sevens alone (though there are several others here) in some three years, he would accomplish a still greater wonder. Let us assume Matthew accomplished this feat in only 6 months.

3. The second chapter of Matthew tells of the childhood of the Christ. Its vocabulary has 161 words, or 23 sevens, with 896 letters, or 128 sevens, and 238 forms, or 34 sevens; the numeric value of the vocabulary is 123,529, or 17,647 sevens; of the forms, 166,985, or 23,855 sevens; and so on through pages of enumeration. This chapter has at least four logical divisions, and each division shows alone the same phenomena found in the chapter as a whole. Thus the first six verses have a vocabulary of 56 words, or 8 sevens, etc. There are some speeches here: Herod speaks, the Magi speak, the angel speaks. But so pronounced are the numeric phenomena here, that though there are as it were numerous rings within rings, and wheels within wheels, each is perfect in itself, though forming all the while only part of the rest.


If Mr. L. can write a chapter like this as naturally as Matthew writes, but containing in some 500 words so many intertwined yet harmonious numeric features, in say the rest of his days - whatever his age now, or the one to which he is to attain: if he thus accomplish it at all, it will indeed be marvel of marvels. Let us assume that Matthew accomplished this feat in only 3 years.


4. There is not, however, a single paragraph of the scores in Matthew that is not constructed in exactly the same manner. Only with each additional paragraph the difficulty of constructing it increases not in arithmetical but in geometrical progression. For he contrives to write numeric relations to what goes before and after. Thus in his last chapter he contrives to use just 7 words not used by him before. It would thus be easy to show that Mr. L. would require some centuries to write a book like Matthew's. How long it took Matthew the writer does not know. But how he contrived to do it between the Crucifixion, A.D.30 (and his Gospel could not have been written earlier), and the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D.70 (and the Gospel could not have been written later), let Mr. L. and his like-minded explain.


Anyhow Matthew did it, and we thus have a miracle - an unheard-of literary, mathematical artist, unequaled, hardly even conceivable. This is the first fact for Mr. L. to contemplate.

A second fact is yet more important: In his very first section, the genealogy discussed above, the words found nowhere else in the New Testament, occur 42 times, 7 x 6; and have 126 letters, 7 x 6 x 3, each number a multiple not only of seven, but of 6 sevens, to name only two of the many numeric features of these words. But how did Matthew know, when designing this scheme for these words (whose sole characteristic is that they are found nowhere else in the New Testament) that they would not be found in the other 26 books? that they would not be used by the other 7 New Testament writers? Unless we assume the impossible hypothesis that he had an agreement with them to that effect, he must have had the rest of the New Testament before him when he wrote his book. The Gospel of Matthew, then, was written last.

5. It so happens, however, that the Gospel of Mark shows the very same phenomena. Thus the very passage called so triumphantly in today's Sun a "forgery," the Last Twelve Verses of Mark, presents among some sixty features of sevens the following phenomena: It has 175 words, or 95 sevens; a vocabulary of 98 words, or 2 sevens of sevens with 553 letters, or 79 sevens; 133 forms, or 19 sevens, and so on to the minutest detail.

Mark, then, is another miracle, another unparalleled literary genius. And in the same way in which it was shown that Matthew wrote last it is also shown that Mark, too, wrote last. Thus to take an example from this very passage: It has just one word found nowhere else in the New Testament, 'deadly'. This fact is signaled by no less than seven features of sevens thus: Its numeric value is 581, or 83 sevens, with the sum of its figures 14, or 2 sevens, of which the letters 3, 5, 7, from both the BEGINNING and END of the word have 490, or 7 x 7 x 5 x 2: a multiple of seven sevens, with the sum of its factors 21, or 3 sevens. In the vocabulary it is preceded by 42 words, 7 x 6; in the passage itself by 126 words, or 7 x 6 x 3, both numbers multiples not only of seven, but of 6 sevens. We have thus established before us this third fact for Mr. L. to contemplate: Matthew surely wrote after Mark, and Mark just as surely wrote after Matthew.

6. It happens, however, to be a fourth fact, that Luke presents the same phenomena as Matthew and Mark; and so does John, and James, and Peter, and Jude, and Paul. And we have thus no longer two great unheard-of mathematical literati, but eight of them and each wrote after the other.

7. And not only this: As Luke and Peter wrote each 2 books, John 5, and Paul 14, it can in the same way be shown that each of the 27 New Testament books was written last. In fact, not a page of the over 500 in Westcott and Hort's Greek edition (which the writer has used throughout) but it can be demonstrated thus to have been written last.

The phenomena are there and there is no human way of explaining them. Eight men cannot each write last, 97 books, some 500 pages cannot each be written first. But once assume that one Mind directed the whole, and the problem is solved simply enough; but this is Verbal Inspiration - of every jot and tittle of the New Testament.

There remains only to be added that by precisely the same kind of evidence the Hebrew Old Testament is proved to be equally inspired. Thus the very first verse of Genesis has seven words, 28 letters, or 4 sevens: to name only two out of the dozens of numeric features of this one verse of only seven words. - N.Y. Sun, Nov. 21, 1899 - Corrected.


Pretty neat huh?

And now, much like the stone in the desert we have enough information to look and see that we have both complexity and specificity. Hence, a message.
What was God trying to tell us? well the answer might be in every third letter of the next sentence.

TENNESSEE STATE REPRESENTATIVE SUSAN LYNN DISCUSSES CURRENT LEGISLATION AFFIRMING STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND PROTECTING GUN OWNERSHIP UNDER MARTIAL LAW, ON THE 20 - 24 APRIL 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Tennessee State Representative for the 57th District, Susan Lynn (www.repsusanlynn.com), discusses legislation she has sponsored or supported in the Tennessee legislature to reassert state sovereignty and the limitations of jurisdiction of the federal government over the state in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, and protections of civilian gun ownership during martial law and emergencies, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 20 April on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). Representative Lynn explains her entry into politics as a spiritual calling, and as a typical citizen without any financial, business or family “connections” to facilitate her entry. She also explains the challenges present in conducting business within state legislatures, where representatives receive token pay, and typically work full-time jobs and perform these wide-ranging functions as a true public service. It is also shown that individual states have the broadest range of jurisdiction and breadth of legislative subject areas in society, with both federal and local governments being far more limited in scope. She takes considerable time in explaining the nature of the fundamental “rights” of the citizen, which are derived from God and not from the State, and that any entitlements are not deemed as “rights”, if they require the sacrifice of or confiscation from others. Rep. Lynn discuses in detail her submittal of House Joint Resolution 108, which reasserts to the federal government the state's claim to jurisdiction over aspects of public life that are not within the expressed powers enumerated to the federal government as clearly expressed in the U.S. Constitution, similar to legislative acts taken by a majority of other states recently to address the encroachment of federal power in recent years over state sovereignty, a trend which has also threatened the individual liberty of citizens. A notable discussion is also conducted concerning House Bill 1778, which protects the rights of citizens to retain their firearms and prevent their confiscation by state authorities during periods of emergency and martial law, an important piece of legislation which is obviously intended to deter the unlawful and unconstitutional breech of citizens' Second Amendment rights, as occurred during gun confiscation operations conducted by authorities during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. The interview concludes with an extended discussion about the duties and opportunities of Christians to participate in civil government, the proper Biblical guidance for Christians as to the nature of their compliance with the mandates of the State, and how Christians can help promote and strengthen a stable, healthy society.

Towards a Jesus Theology


All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments...

The man lying on the bed was in his early thirties, but one could scarcely tell that to look upon his frail frame. A victim of homelessness and a prolonged life on the streets, he had seen much more than many
his age would ever see, and his body showed it. Right now he was in a coma and wasn't likely to recover, his body had an air of "worn-out-ness" to it that all homeless people tend to have, but this man more so than any other she had ever seen.
His ruddy pockmarked face showed the obvious signs of daily life under the sun through summer and winter, with sun burn upon sun burn upon sun burn, and with a dull rubbing of a decade of dirt in the pores for good measure. A scar above his chin and a nose like a horse shoe showed that this man had been in at least one serious fight, and probably many more, in his life. Through the hospital gown one could see the subtle tells of scars that crisscrossed his body. They spoke of pavement and air vents as beds, old moth eaten jackets and mildewy cardboard as pillow and blanket.
His chart showed that his body, old and tired, was indeed in the process of giving out. He had not really regained consciousness since coming in 72 hours ago. Sadly, his insides were a victim of a relentless onslaught of drugs and alcohol, of trying to kill the inner pain. His vital organs, despite the doctors best efforts, were one by one shutting down.
He had been dumped on the front steps of the hospital dressed in tattered flannel shirt and jeans crusty from wear, with no drivers license, with no wallet, with no identification, with no-one to vouch for him, and no way of knowing who he was.
As he laid there in silence, and with death soon to come, one of God's unlikely anointed ones stood in his room quietly. She had been through some serious pain of her own, the death of family, friends and the recent divorce of a husband. All within the last two years. From the standpoint of anyone who knew her, she had every right to be angry at the world.
She knew that somewhere there was likely a mother who hadn't seen her son in 10 or more years. She knew that there was a mother that craned her neck wildly when she passed someone that just might look like the son alcohol drugs and life on the street had stolen from her. She knew that there was likely a father who had been so despondent with grief that he may have laid in the street at one point, every muscle on his slightly overweight frame racked with anxiety looking to the heavens for some relief from the crippling terror of not knowing whether your offspring was alive or dead.
As this unlikely angel stood in her scrubs, she walked over and put her hand on his shoulder and said a quiet prayer. She didn't know what to say when she started, but she knew no one else would stand and pray for this man. Words flowed from her lips. A few tears from her eyes, even though she tried as hard as she could to hold them back. Though her words were oh so quiet, her spirit groaned to the Lord of heaven for all of the pain and suffering for this "John Doe" before her, for his family, for his mother and father and for his salvation. She asked the Lord of heaven to forgive this man, and to take away his pain.
In doing so, this humble critical care nurse became another one of Gods quiet emissaries.

And yet, even as we can all agree that this critical care nurse was definitely exhibiting Godly ways in praying over her patient, its not a set of actions that fits neatly into our theological hierarchy sometimes.

The thing that blows me away about Jesus is how unlike the world he is. I know that sounds obvious, but hear me out.
Just look at his birth. He was born in a manager, which despite the somewhat sterilized view that comes to us from children's plays, was really a trough for food for animals. There was likely animal spittle mixed in with the hay that the living God of the Universe was laid in. Ezekiel mentions the standard birth method for the time was to be washed with water, then rubbed with salt, to prevent infection and disease. It would appear from the text that Jesus did not receive any of the standard birth procedure, in that he was born where animals were to be housed.
We sometimes forget the likely social fallout of the virgin birth. Mary was with child, having known no man, not even her husband Joseph. Now, In that culture adultery was a serious offense, punishable by death. Though Mary was obviously not guilty of adultery, I'm sure it didn't seem like it to those around her who knew her. Yet, despite the likely whispers, from the worlds view, Joseph took on the mantle of father, to a son he did not sire, likely to scorn and subtle ridicule from the community he lived in.
As an adult Jesus repeatedly went and ate with sinners and publicans. He repeatedly went to the very lowest in society, Even going so far as to walk forward, touch, and subsequently heal the ultimate outcast of that society, a leper.
As a rabbi and teacher, his full time ministry likely lasted only about 3-5 years. No 40 year careers and world evangelism centers complete with marble floors for this man that was God. His was a different ministry. A ministry of the Father.
Even on the day he died, it was most remarkable because of just how shameful it was. His clothes were stripped from him, an innocent man. He wore a crown of thorns. He was crucified alongside two criminals, his best friends scattering the night before when trouble came round, only now to stand afar off and watch helplessly.
Crucifixion was reserved for those that society thought to make an example of.
Interestingly, that is exactly what happened, just not in the way the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Romans intended.
With all this in mind, lets stop and consider for a second the verse in John.
"I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know the Father. From now on you do know him and you have seen him."
This could be a life verse for me it comes up so much in my day to day thoughts. It literally means that Jesus is the only way to know God. Through this man alone is salvation. If you're reading this its probably nothing new. (If this is something new, please lift you eyes to heaven and say "Lord, Have mercy on me a sinner!" before going any farther!) Lets take and quantify this verse...

If I am to know God, it is through Jesus.

If I am to have wisdom and knowledge of God, it is through his Son, Jesus

If I wish to study God and his attributes, then all I have to do is study is Jesus and his attributes!

In my slightly over rigorous mind, I have pondered how to reconcile all of this. Jesus didn't seem to care about peoples station in life, he seemed to care for people in pain, people who were hurting. He cared most about showing others the Father. He most often showed them the Father by loving them. He wouldn't violate their freewill, but He wasn't afraid to sacrifice his own comfort for others, or to wound them with the truth. He was a servant. He served others. He loved others. He chastised those that made others weights heavy, and would not lift a finger to help.
His burden was light. He told us so.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart all your mind and all your strength. This is the first and greatest commandment, and the second is like it. Love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments."
and yet how often do these verses show up in church creeds, in theological statements of faith? How often do we here this from the pulpit? How often have we said this to ourselves as part of a guiding philosophy of life? How often is this taught in Sunday schools?

In light of the above statements, perhaps we should examine the words and deeds of Jesus more closely.

Let this then, be the introduction in a (hopefully!) ongoing series of articles designed to examine Jesus and his ways during his time on earth in more detail. Call it "Things that Jesus Did" or "Loving like Jesus". The focus will be on discovering how to change our thinking and habits to become more and more like Jesus, so that, in turn, we can become more and more like the Father.

Selah...

LEGENDARY AUTHOR G. EDWARD GRIFFIN DISCUSSES THE HISTORY OF THE CONTROL OF WORLD EVENTS BY THE POWERFUL BANKING CARTELS, ON THE 13 - 17 APRIL 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Author of the legendary book about the Federal Reserve, “The Creature From Jekyll Island”, G. Edward Griffin (www.gedwardgriffin.com) discusses the remarkable history of the Federal Reserve and the world's banking systems, and their domination over the institutions and the outcome of world events throughout history, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 13 April on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). The aforementioned book established Mr. Griffin as a de facto expert on the Federal Reserve and the evidence of the influence of banking cartels on the events of world history, as well as other forces that inhibit individual freedom and liberty. The book is considered “essential reading” for those who seek to understand how these influences, although rarely reported in mainstream media and publications, define the outcome of world events, often while hiding behind the “fronted” ideologies and warring parties they manipulate for their purposes. The crux of the book centers around a seminal event in the history of central banking, and indeed the entirety of modern world history, wherein a cabal of powerful bankers, such as the financial juggernaut J. P. Morgan, gathered in secret on the remote Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia in 1910, to hatch a diabolical scheme to subjugate our nation in monetary debt to the private banker trusts, by voluntary consent, by means of the intentionally murky and poorly understood Federal Reserve System. The various facets of the disastrous outcome of these actions that led to the establishment of the Federal Reserve, such as the ability of the government and bankers to create a “hidden tax” called “inflation” by means of inflating currencies, without actually needing to publicly raise tax rates, and the history of “bailouts” of private companies, which are actually disguised measures to bail out their lending banks and eliminate risk, are explored in some length. In fact, the entire history of modern banking, from the days of the Rothschilds in Europe, the Bank of England, and even early American attempts to create “national” banks, are discussed, with the ability to observe the birth of the various techniques they derived to wield their control over time, such as the deceitful, dangerous and exploitative practice of fractional reserve lending. Their initiation and control over even worldwide military conflicts, as well as “incubating”, manipulating and then controlling militant ideologies such as Bolshevism and Communism, are also examined, as well as their control of media and political figures. However, the discussion concludes with an optimistic look at steps individuals can take to “get out of Babylon” and express freedom, in this unforgettable interview.

Old Boss, Same as the New Boss...




Timothy Geithner. You know him, you love him, he owes you money.

Ok well, 2 outta 3 aint bad.

Do a search on Timothy Geithner, you'll be astounded at what you end up finding. For instance, according to the wikipedia entry on Timothy Geithner as of 04-03-2009...At the Senate confirmation hearings, it was revealed that Geithner had not paid $35,000 in self-employment taxes for several years, even though he had acknowledged his obligation to do so, and had filed a request for, and received, a payment for half the taxes owed. The failure to pay self-employment taxes was noted during a 2006 audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in which Geithner was assessed additional taxes of $14,847 for the 2003 and 2004 tax years. Geithner also failed to pay the self-employment taxes for the 2001 and 2002 tax years until after Obama expressed his intent to nominate Geithner to be Secretary of Treasury. He also deducted the cost of his children's sleep-away camp as a dependent care expense, when only expenses for day care are eligible for the deduction. Geithner subsequently paid the IRS the additional taxes owed, and was charged $15,000 interest, but was not fined for late payment. As President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Geithner annually completed an ethics statement noting any taxes due or unpaid, along with any other obligations. Geithner's completed statement did not surface during confirmation hearings.

In a statement to the Senate panel considering his nomination, Geithner called the tax issues "careless," "avoidable" and "unintentional" errors, and he said he wanted to "apologize to the committee for putting you in the position of having to spend so much time on these issues."

This is the same man whom Former Secretary of Treasury, Henry Paulson called "An unusually talented young man."


While one would tend to think of such persons responsible for the entirety of the United States monetary purse strings as needing to possess qualities d
efined as "honest," "careful", "meticulous", and "good with money." And yet, it seems that the best, most qualified individual the current administration can come up with is a man who cant figure out how to efficiently use a computer program (Geitner implied on several occasions that he tried to use turbotax to do his yearly federal income taxes...) designed for ease of use by a wide swath of Americans of every different stripe, creed, religion, race and intellectual acumen.

In my slightly over rigorous mind, I tend to group things in terms of bayesian probability. Now before we start having violent flashbacks of the standard statistics classes in college, try this. Draw two circles that overlap a bit in the middle, and label the first one A and the second one B. Lets put the fact that Timothy Geithner is running one of the most important organizations in the world in one circle. lets put the fact that he was nominated by a president with a messiah like following, from a list that contained some of the greatest minds in economic thought ever in the same circle. Lets also put the fact that he w
as highly praised by his predecessor as being a genius, capable, and unusually talented, in that circle.
Now, in the other circle, lets put the fact that he can't use turbotax, a program which is designed to be "easy to use." In that same circle lets put the fact that he does not have an undergraduate degree in economics, nor did he when he went to work at the treasury department. Lets put the fact that he bares more than a passing resemblance to the psychotic mob don "Santino Sonny Corleone" in that same circle. Finally, lets put the fact that his annual ethics statements Mr. Geithner completed for the Treasury Department almost certainly contained significant "discrepancies" over his federal income taxes.


Now if we label the first circle A and the second one B, and we are looking for an explanation that encompasses everything within these two circles, what fits all of the above? The various possibilities look like this.
A. The administration screwed up-he's imcompetent (This means that we ignore circle A, in favor of circle B.)
B. He's a genius, and this whole not paying taxes thing for 8 or more years, is just an aberration (This means that we ignore circle B in favor of circle A.)
C. None of the above, there is some other agenda that we are missing. (This means that either both A and B are true, or possibly, none are true.)

Well, what any good statistics nerd will tell you is, "we need more data before we can proceed."


As luck would have it, we can all use our best infomercial voices and exclaim in a loud voice and commanding voice. "BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!"


It turns out that Timothy Geithner began his career at Kissinger Associates Inc. Run of course, by Henry "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer." Kissinger.Yes, that is the same Kissinger who wrote "How to Achieve The New World Order." as the title of a book recommendation.
Henry Kissinger has been a stalwart of the political elite to all the way back to the 1960's. He is considered by most to be the ultimate Washington D.C. insider, The big league string puller, the big kahuna of politics, the gordita burrito of technocrats.
He is also considered by many to be one of the leading men to push for a one world government, and Timothy Geithner worked for him.
From there, Mr. Geithner went to work at the Treasury Department, taking some time off to accept a nomination to work in the somewhat inappropriately named Council on Foreign Relations econometric research department.

To review, The Council on Foreign Relations, (of whom Dr. Kissinger is a major player in) is a nongovernmental organization which seeks to influence government officials, civic and religous leaders, journalists, business executives, educators and others to further their agenda.
Rear Adm. Chester Ward was a member of the CFR for 16 years. He later tried to warn the American people as to the true intentions of this organization. He said:

"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common – they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world-banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."

With this strikingly dark backdrop in mind, has anyone thought to check Mr. Geithners underpinning thoughts on economics and international finance? Where do his understanding of global markets of all kinds come from? Should I be worried?

Mr. Geithner is a staunch supporter of using the government to prop up big business, by using the unilateral power of government to invest heavily in the private sector. Because of this, one can look at Timothy Geithner, (like his counterpart at the FED) as strictly Keynesian in economic thought.
So, who is John Maynard Keynes you ask?
John Maynard Keynes was an economist that advocated government intervention as the most efficient way to allocate resouces.
John Maynard Keynes was also a member of the fabian society. The fabian society are a group of like minded intellectuals who claim socialism as their highest and ultimate goal. These soc
ialists depart from the lightning strike tactics characterized by both Russia/Chinese communism and German/Baathist Nazism. Though they disagree on tactics they agree on the ends. Fabian socialists believe in an incremental movement towards socialism, largely undetectable to the average citizen. Speaking about the world as we know it, the fabians motto was immortalized in a stained glass at the Fabians former headquarters as "Remould it nearer to the hearts desire."
Mr. Keynes was also a eugenicist. Not just a little bit of a eugenicist either. He was serious about it. While in school, he was the treasurer of the Cambridge Eugenics Society. He even went so far as to call the mass slaughter and chemical castration of those "undesirables" of society “the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists.”
Eugenics had many proponents, including:
Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood), H. G. Wells, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Emile Zola, George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, William Keith Kellogg, Winston Churchill, and Sidney Webb. Its biggest proponent to use it extensively was Adolf Hitler, when he centrally planned and methodically carried out the extermination of 6 million Jews and 6 million other people, called the Holocaust.
Economically Keynes said that
the solution to a depression was to stimulate the economy ("inducement to invest") through some combination of two approaches: a reduction in interest rates and government investment in infrastructure. Investment by government injects income, which results in more spending in the general economy, which in turn stimulates more production and investment involving still more income and spending and so forth. The initial stimulation starts a cascade of events, whose total increase in economic activity is a multiple of the original investment.
Yet, ever since the great depression, Keynes's theories have been proven wrong again and again. My favorite is when in 1971, stagflation occurred. According to Keynes, stagflation was highly unlikely, nearly an impossibility. Imagine the shock to the many keynesian economists when it occured in the mid 1970's. Yet, rather than unburden oneself by admitting a theory wrong, then searching for, and adopting truth, the intellectual powers that be just invented a new name to describe what was happening.
Unfortunately, as main street yawns at the news that presumably, the Federal Reserve is now under control of the International Monetary Fund, complete with Sean Hannity and Dick Morris vindicating the most extreme voices campaigning against a One World Government, We appear to have solved a most interesting problem regarding our new Treasury Secretary. We know that Timothy Geitner likes not paying his taxes, and we know he is highly praised from his counterparts. We know that he thinks alot of Keynesian economics, and may concievably even be sympathetic to eugenics. We also know he is asking for near dictator like powers unrevocable by congress.
The answer to our little math problem is C. The answer is C
That which I fear most is that the extra credit answer to this problem was written about by the apostle John almost 2000 years ago on the Island of Patmos.
"And I saw, and behold, a pale green horse, and the name of the one sitting on it was Death; and Hades followed after him. And authority was given to them to kill over the fourth of the earth with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth. " Revelation 6:8

6 APRIL 2009

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CHUCK BALDWIN AND DR. RAND PAUL DISCUSS THE RECENT EVIDENCE OF TARGETING OF THEMSELVES, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONSTITUTION-LOVING CITIZENS BY STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, ON THE 6 - 10 APRIL 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Dr. Chuck Baldwin (www.chuckbaldwinlive.com), Baptist pastor and 2008 Constitution Party Presidential nominee, and Dr. Rand Paul, son of 2008 Republican Presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul and representative of the “Campaign for Liberty”, discuss the recent actions by federal and Missouri state law enforcement to identify leaders and followers of certain major third parties, as well as those who oppose abortions rights, global sovereignty and illegal immigration, as being potential “domestic terrorists”, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 6 April on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). This recent development stems from actions taken by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), with guidance from the Department of Homeland Security, in developing secret internal documents intended for Missouri state law enforcement officials only, directing them to monitor the actions of potential militia-based “domestic terrorists”, and specifically mentioned Presidential Candidates Dr. Chuck Baldwin, Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, and former Congressman Bob Barr, the aforementioned groups, as well as supporters of the Constitution and Libertarian Parties, and those promoting tax fairness, and against the NAFTA Super Highway and the North American Union. This secret guidance only came to light when one or two brave “whistle blower” Missouri policemen forwarded these documents to independent media officials to expose to the public. This targeting of minority political parties and supporters of populist issues has been defended by the Missouri governor himself. In this show, Dr. Baldwin discusses the significance of this ominous event, and how this may portend more draconian control and monitoring in the future, unless the citizenry stands up to voice their disapproval, and take legal actions where necessary. Dr. Baldwin also reveals his experiences and observations he has made from his ground-breaking Constitution Party presidential run, and contributes to an engaging discourse about the Bible passage Romans chapter 13 concerning Christians and their relationship to the State, and the proper role we take when the law makers are shown to be law breakers. Dr. Rand Paul, a practicing physician from the mid-South who played a critical role in the historic presidential campaign of his father, Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, also provides his perspective on the significance of the MIAC event, which targets hundreds of thousands of “Campaign for Liberty” supporters. He also unveils a special announcement about his potential run for the U.S. Senate in the next election.
