XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PRESS RELEASE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

1 JUNE 2009

RESEARCHER AND RADIO HOST CHRIS WHITE EXPLORES THE SPIRITUAL INFLUENCES OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION, HIS PATH TO CHRIST, AND THE IMPACT OF ALTERNATIVE MEDIA ON HIS GENERATION, ON THE 1 – 5 JUNE 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Researcher of spiritual cultural influences and Christian apologetics, video documentarian and producer and host of the Internet radio show “Nowhere to Hide” Chris White explores the spiritual influences that impact today's younger generation, his own path to embracing the claims of Christ, and the impact that “alternative”, non-commercial media can make in addressing a public that is searching for real answers, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 1 June on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at http://www.futurequake.com). Chris White has produced Internet-broadcast expose videos, concerning deceptive spiritual teachings and movements, which have been viewed by hundreds of thousands of Internet users, and his Internet-based radio shows “Nowhere to Run” and “The Frank and Chris Show” (a live show co-hosted with Frank Lordi) are regularly listened to by tens of thousands of listeners, via venues such as the “Revelations Radio Network” (which now also features the “Future Quake” radio broadcast, as well as over twenty additional independent radio broadcast programs). In this discussion, Mr. White reveals his turn to Christ via his previous discerning and consideration of the claims of popular researchers whom attempt to discredit the claims of Christ and the Bible, and his determination of the fallacies of their arguments, and the merits of the validity of Biblical truths. He has taken this interest in the teachings of these challengers of the Christian faith, and in turn produced intelligent and well-researched rebuttals, both in videos and in radio programs, to effectively counter the fraudulent claims made by others, and in this discussion alludes to the threats and resistance made by such exposed parties to his scathing exposes, as well as the enormous impact such productions have made in turning many others to the way of truth. The remainder of the discussion focuses on the impact and opportunities present with today's options in independent media, with the bulk of such opportunities provided by the (currently) uncensored and freely available Internet medium, using mass-media venues such as YouTube and audio podcasting, to reach a vast audience looking for answers to questions that are not being addressed in most Christian church forums, in this timely, relevant and though-provoking discussion.

“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 http://www.futurequake.com, or available as a podcast (under “future quake”) at I-Tunes (www.itunes.com).

DMT Part 4-The Egyptian Connection.

*I wanted to wait to publish this for a few days, but this video is too compelling for students of prophecy and in particular, followers of Peter Goodgames work to wait around and sit on my hands. Plus I'm all fired up about it. We may be seeing the beginning of a serious coalescense here.*

Apparently, there is an egyptian connection to the pineal gland, DMT, mystical states, and the spirit world. This is a five part series. A number of observations...

-1. We see the idea of the pineal gland being a gateway between the spirit world and the physical plane, and DMT might be able to unlock that gate.
-2. The implication is that the egyptian kings and priests somehow knew more than we give them credit for, and may have in some sense, the "secret of the universe". I imagine Aaron might have something to say about that. Perhaps they should seek out some of Egypts first born
-3. Unsurprisingly, there is the very obvious logical flaw of treating wild speculation as factual information.
-4. Unsurprisingly, there is the totally obvious enumeration and veneration of marrying occult philsophy with new age philosophy.
-5. Unsurprisingly, the video mentions by name Christianity, and specifically the descriptions of hades/gehenna as merely being borrowed from Egyptian theology.
-6. The fact that the video spends a considerable amount of time interpreting both the spirit world, the egyptian mummification process, and the pineal gland as a doorway between the two may be fascinating for students of the Nimrod/Asshur/Antichrist theory.
-7. Particularly noteworthy is the phrase "Maybe if we assume that egyptians knew what they were talking about..." as an actual ontological preposition for serious scholarly study. Its rather like stating "If we assume that Stalin really knew what he was doing, then we would feel differently about his treatment of the Kossaks."
-8. Masonry comes up. Need I say more?

DMT part 3-The Spirit Molecule Interviews

For those of you who have been following the DMT posts here at futurequakeradio.blogspot.com and elsewhere, it appears that a movie short is in the works, glorifying DMT use.

Watching it, I just wanted to throw out a few opinions.

-1. Notice how all of the people (with the possible exception of Dr. David E. Nichols) want to both put aside any possible ethical implications, and to open pandoras box without regard to the possible negatives.
-2. Notice that all of the persons interviewed in the trailer all imply that there really is some type of spiritual contact that goes on while using DMT.
-3. Notice that its all talked about in glowing tones, with a subtle, susceptible nod towards a spiritual quickening or spiritual evolution.

It's in four parts. Its called "The Spirit Molecule Interviews."

There is alot of New Age jargon here. Its interesting that from the research that I have reviewed, none of the negative experiences of DMT are covered. For instance, you hear none of the account of the experience of one volunteer whos "spirit body" was anally raped by a gang of alien alligators, or how another volunteer's "spirit body" was consumed by alien insectoids.
You definitely hear none of statements from DMT volunteers about how they feel there is an element of control by another entity, very similar to possession.

DMT Part 2- A Long String of Associations


I was driving to a friends church two Sundays ago and had my radio tuned to NPR and heard a rather strange feature story. I was used to NPR being fairly antagonistic to my particular point of view, (I have come to think of NPR standing for New age Pantheist Radio.) but I listen occasionally, as its important to get a wide swath of opinion to inform ones viewpoint on where the world is heading and whats important at that moment. The feature story was called "Searching for the God Spot".
As part of the available commentary that came with the article, I found this on their website.

"NPR.org, May 17, 2009 · The sun was still high in the northern Canadian sky when I arrived at Laurentian University early in the evening on July 8, 2006. I had traveled to the remote town of Sudbury, Ontario, to meet Dr. Michael Persinger, an American researcher who had gained some notoriety in neuroscience circles — and among journalists — for his experiments in spirituality. Several years earlier, he had produced the "God helmet," a reconstructed motorcycle helmet that was supposed to evoke mystical experiences in its wearer. According to Persinger, the helmet would use weak magnetic fields to stimulate parts of the brain — in particular, the temporal lobe. This, in theory, would evoke a "Sensed Presence," the feeling that a non-material being was in the room. In other words, through the wonders of neuroscience, the helmet could summon counterfeit angels or demons on demand. I wanted to see if it would work its magic on me."
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104067676


I listened in interest as the interviewee tried to make a purely logical case that belief in the spirit world was entirely rational, and indeed meant no feat other than to come down on another side of a seemingly arbitrary issue, as if we were discussing whether or not to put raspberry jam on toast.
This isn't the first time this kind of thing has come about. An article in "National Geographic" talks about a similar experience by the writer, Kira Salek, in this case brought on by using a tea heavily laced with Dimethyltryptamine or DMT.

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/0603/features/peru.html


"I will never forget what it was like. The overwhelming misery. The certainty of never-ending suffering. No one to help you, no way to escape. Everywhere I looked: darkness so thick that the idea of light seemed inconceivable. Suddenly, I found myself swirling down a tunnel of fire, wailing figures calling out to me in agony, begging me to save them. Others tried to terrorize me. “You will never leave here,” they said. “Never. Never.”
I found myself laughing at them. “I’m not scared of you,” I said.
But the darkness became even thicker; the emotional charge of suffering nearly unbearable. I felt as if I would burst from heartbreak—everywhere, I felt the agony of humankind, its tragedies, its hatreds, its sorrows.
I reached the bottom of the tunnel and saw three thrones in a black chamber. Three shadowy figures sat in the chairs; in the middle was what I took to be the devil himself.
“The darkness will never end,” he said. “It will never end. You can never escape this place.”
“I can,” I replied. All at once, I willed myself to rise. I sailed up through the tunnel of fire, higher and higher until I broke through to a white light. All darkness immediately vanished. My body felt light, at peace. I floated among a beautiful spread of colors and patterns. Slowly my ayahuasca vision faded. I returned to my body, to where I lay in the hut, insects calling from the jungle.
“Welcome back,” the shaman said.
The next morning, I discovered the impossible: The severe depression that had ruled my life since childhood had miraculously vanished.
Giant blue butterflies flutter clumsily past our canoe. Parrots flee higher into treetops. The deeper we go into the Amazon jungle, the more I realize I can’t turn back. It has been a year since my last visit, and I’m here again in Peru traveling down the Rio Aucayacu for more shamanistic healing. The truth is, I’m petrified to do it a second time around. But with shamanism—and with the drinking of ayahuasca in particular—I’ve learned that, for me, the worse the experience, the better the payoff. There is only one crucial requirement for this work: You must be brave. You will be learning how to save yourself."

Regarding Ayahausca and DMT she writes:

"“Ayahuasca,” a Quechua word meaning “vine of the soul,” is shorthand for a concoction of Amazonian plants that shamans have boiled down for centuries to use for healing purposes. Though some call the mixture a drug, indigenous peoples regard such a description as derogatory. To them it is a medicine that has been used by the tribes of the Amazon Basin for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years, demanding respect and right intention. The main chemical in the brew, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), accounts for ayahuasca’s illegality in the United States; DMT, though chemically distant from LSD, has hallucinogenic properties. But it is ayahuasca’s many plant ingredients, cooperating ingeniously to prevent the breakdown of DMT in the stomach and allow it to circulate freely in the body, that produce the unique ayahuasca experience."

The whole article is laced with a subtle, and at times, even not so subtle patina of finding ones own salvation, through interaction in the spirit world. This "saving of self" has very obvious implications and shades from both theological, philosophical and practical perspectives. To put it bluntly, It points inward, saying in effect "I am God."
The final paragraph has a particularly dark tone to it. As the writer is coming back from her final ayahausca induced trip from what her shaman tells her is the spirit world, she finishes the enigmatic article thusly:

"It takes almost all the energy I have left, but I feel around for my flashlight and shine it into my vomit bucket. No. I lean down closer. Steady the beam of light. I catch my breath as I examine the object: A small black snake seems to have materialized from my body"

Truth be told, there are several organizations out there that are making a concerted effort to interact with and investigate the spirit world in a similar way as the national geographic author. One of these is doctor Rick Strassman. Dr. Strassman has been giving people DMT in a clinical setting and recording and compiling their experiences for awhile now. Some excerpts from his book dealing with his DMT research, "The Spirit Molecule":

"When reviewing my bedside notes, I continually feel surprise
in seeing how many of our volunteers “made contact” with
“them,” or other beings. At least half did so in one form or
another. Research subjects used expressions like “entities,”
“beings,” “aliens,” “guides,” and “helpers” to describe them.
The “life-forms” looked like clowns, reptiles, mantises, bees,
spiders, cacti, and stick figures. It still is startling to see my
written records of comments like, “There were these beings,”
“I was being led,” “They were on me fast.” It’s as if my mind
refuses to accept what’s there in black and white."

One of his subjects, describing the experience, relates.:

"There is a sinister backdrop, an alien-type, insectoid, notquite-
pleasant side of this, isn’t there? It’s not a ‘we’re-going-to
get-you-[expletive deleted].’ It’s more like being possessed.
During the experience there is sense of someone, or something
else, there taking control.I’m aware of them and they’re aware of me. It’s like
they have an agenda. It’s like walking into a different neighborhood.
You’re really not quite sure what the culture is. It’s
got such a distinct flavor, the reptilian being or beings that
are present." " [Emphasis mine]

Dr. Strassman comments:

"Some sessions were so unpleasant, however, that subjects dropped out, or we asked them to discontinue. Ida hated the loss of control she felt on her low dose of DMT and withdrew immediately. Ken experienced anal rape by alien alligators, and dropped out after his high dose. Andrea bellowed NO! NO! NO! as her first high dose began. She felt she was dying but did not want to let go. Continuing in the tolerance study, she worked on frightening personal issues in a successful manner, ending her morning with a blissful resolution. Lucas' heart rate and blood pressure plummeted to near-shock levels when he opened his eyes to orient himself, and saw the research nurse and me terribly transfigured. Kevin's blood pressure rose so high in response to meeting with a terrifyingly hostile African warrior queen who was outraged at his presence, that it set off piercing alarms.”

While Dr. Strassman appears to be doing work in the science of spirit contact and psychedelic research, A "hub" in the burgeoning arena of psychedelic/new age experimentation with drugs seems to be the Noetic Sciences Institute.

http://www.noetic.org


The noetic sciences institutes mission statement reads:
"At the Institute of Noetic Sciences, we employ the rigor of science, balanced by personal and collective wisdom, to support a shift in consciousness that transforms present global conditions into a world grounded in freedom, wisdom, and love. We serve an emerging movement of globally conscious citizens dedicated to manifesting our highest capacities."

The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS):

* Explores the frontiers of consciousness
* Builds bridges between science and spirit
* Researches subtle energies and the powers of healing
* Inquires into the science of love, forgiveness, and gratitude
* Studies the effects of conscious and compassionate intention
* Seeks to understand the basis of prevailing worldviews
* Practices freedom of thought and freedom of spirit

The IONS institute defines noetic thusly:

"The word "noetic" comes from the ancient Greek nous, for which there is no exact equivalent in English. It refers to "inner knowing," a kind of intuitive consciousness—direct and immediate access to knowledge beyond what is available to our normal senses and the power of reason."

Now is this weird? HECK YA IT IS! To review.

It appears that there is a concerted move on the part of the New Age to push forward spirit contact using drugs and other means.
Disconcerting to say the least,

Whats scarier is the close association with the top evangelicals in politics, government and elsewhere to this particular part of the New Age movement.

One of the founders of the Noetic Sciences Institute is a man named Paul N Temple. Mr. Temple is a successful businessman, entrepreneur and supporter of the New Age. He was an attorney working for various oil companies in the past, having negotiated several land use agreements, most notably between Libya and Standard Oil (Now Exxon) in the 70's.

In a transcript about his life experiences, he had this to say.

During my stay in D.C. I met a man named Abraham Vereide who had been a
Norwegian minister who had come to the United States and settled in Seattle
where they were having a lot of trouble at that time with the Communist dominated
union. He had organized a group of men that became a prayer
group. They met and tried to work together to try to solve this serious problem
in Seattle. He also worked for Goodwill Industries. He had been ordained
as a Methodist minister. He had been working for the down and outs, but it
occurred to him that the up and outs had problems too. He decided to move
to Washington to see what he could do to create a leadership led by God.
Eventually it happened.
I had the good fortune one morning to go to a meeting with my friend Jim
Bell. He said, "Come with me. We're going to a prayer breakfast. " I said,
"Prayer breakfast?! You must be kidding!" He said, "No. Come, you'll really
enjoy it."
So I went off with him to Fellowship House. I found myself seated at a table
with 10 men and I remember Sen. Gillette from Iowa was there. The man who
was a moderator that morning was a three-star general from the Pentagon
who was in charge of military propaganda. I remember listening to him as he
was agonizing over the fact that he was believer in Christ but his job required
him to spin information in a way that was really distorted. He had to put the
best foot forward. His faith told him he needed to tell the truth but his job required
him to put a spin on things that didn't always come out exactly truthfully.
In that one breakfast meeting I experienced a relationship among men that
was compelling. It was the finest spiritual relationship among men who hardly
knew each other that I had ever experienced. I got hooked on this kind of
meeting and have continued to attend prayer breakfasts through the years.

For those who don't know, the men's prayer breakfast and the associated group "The Family" is an organization that which most or all of the top evangelical leaders of this country belong. The guest speaker at the breakfast is usually the current President of the United States.

We will be examining the "The Family" in a later articles, hopefully. For now I encourage you to do your own research into this evangelical group.

So, now to retrace. We have a very powerful man influencing both the New Age and what seems to be the top evangelical leadership. This man starts an organization that is doing work to bring about a "global shift" in thinking. This influential group contains some of the most influential people in the world, as well as some practitioners of openly occult belief systems.
One of these groups is doing work to try to quantify the experiences of pagan shamans trips to the spirit world through the use of DMT in a laboratory setting.
And finally, one of the largest, most well known, radio shows in the country is promoting the acceptance of contact through the spirit world by artificial means.

This is something to keep an eye on, to say the least.

your comments are appreciated.

Spiritual Agenda Behind The Last Days UFO Phenomenon

http://www.futurequake.com/Audio/FQShow158.mp3

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PRESS RELEASE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

25 MAY 2009

DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR, BIBLE SCHOLAR AND INVESTIGATOR DR. WILLIAM ALNOR DISCUSSES THE SPIRITUAL AGENDA BEHIND THE LAST DAYS UFO PHENOMENON, ON THE 25 - 29 MAY 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Dr. William Alnor (www.cultlink.com), noted Biblical scholar and researcher on cults and other theological topics, discusses his findings on the sinister agenda behind the spiritual message associated with the UFO phenomenon, and the religious cults that have formed to spread the message, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 25 May 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. Alnor has quite a distinguished background, having earned a doctorate in the journalism and media fields, and has taught at prestigious universities, including his current professorial position. In terms of his theological background, he has founded and pastored a number of churches, and has served as a key staff assistant in support of the late Walter Martin at the Christian Research Institute, and has managed and operated his own apologetics and discernment ministry, “Cult Link”. His published books have largely focused on the UFO phenomenon and the cults that have sprung up to spread the supposed spiritual message brought by these entities, including the publications “UFOs and the New Age – Extraterrestrial Messages and The Truth of Scripture”, “Soothsayers of The Second Advent”, “UFO Cults and the New Millennium”, and “Heaven Can't Wait – A Survey of Alleged Trips To The Other Side”. This area of his expertise forms the nexus of the discussion in this compelling interview, including what his research and findings suggest is the true explanation for the UFO and abduction phenomenon from a Biblical perspective, the nature of the spiritual “message” these “visitors” are reported to deliver, and the roles key officials in the government, media and entertainment, and other segments of society have in supporting this process and the expected “disclosure” event. This UFO/ET issue is also explored from the perspective of determining the appropriate response to this issue by the evangelical community today, as well as groups like the Catholic Church, who are already preparing their followers to accept the ET “reality”. On the matter of cults and the expected Last Days “deception” intended to try to deceive even the very “elect”, Dr. Alnor discusses his experience as a apologetics “watchdog” even amongst evangelical groups over the years, and his lessons learned on the proper discernment ministry role within the Body, which will be tested in the years ahead. The spiritual, cultural and societal significance of the upcoming “'Ancient of Days' First Christian Conference on Aliens” this summer in Roswell, New Mexico, featuring speaking roles by both Dr. Alnor and Doctor Future, are also considered in this rousing discussion.

“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.

DMT Part 1

In the interest of getting all the info out there, I am mostly copying and pasting stuff from various sources. Please excuse me for not typing more original stuff, but I want to get this all out there as fast as possible.
This article is from the Gralien Report.

The Gralien Report
24 Feb
What Hails From Beyond: Shamanic Drugs, or Pathways to Other Dimensions?


The notion that something from within our bodies could be considered an
illegal substance seems rather odd to me. However, this is very much the
case with the powerful drug /Dimethyltryptamine/ (DMT), active
ingredient in the mysterious shamanic /ayahuasca /tea used by native
cultures around the world for vision quests, which also happens to be
found in the human body.

The catch is that we don’t know exactly where the DMT is created, though
pioneering psychedelics researcher Dr. Rick Strassman has suggested
that, in theory, the stuff could be produced within the human pineal
gland, which Renee Descartes famously proposed “was the point of
mediation between the material body and the immaterial soul.” In the
realms of both fact and fiction, the pineal gland has occasionally
played an important role with regard to man’s supposed innate abilities
to “unlock” psychic powers from within, allowing us to perceive distant
worlds which, to the naked senses in our typical day-to-day state of
mind, remain hidden. H.P. Lovecraft’s maniacal character Crawford
Tillinghast from the short story /From Beyond/ described it as such:

/You have heard of the pineal gland? I laugh at the shallow
endocrinologist, fellow-dupe and fellow-parvenu of the Freudian. That
gland is the great sense organ of organs - I have found out. It is like
sight in the end, and transmits visual pictures to the brain. If you are
normal, that is the way you ought to get most of it… I mean get most of
the evidence from beyond./

What poor old Crawford was rambling about, in Lovecraft’s story that is,
was that the pineal gland would allow a “normal” person to perceive
“evidence from beyond” through the use of a resonating device he had
built. This contraption allowed the pineal gland to function in such a
way that alien realms became visible when one stood near it. Funny
enough, if researchers like Dr. Rick Strassman are correct about DMT
production in the brain, Lovecraft may have been closer to home than he
could ever have imagined with his notions that the pineal gland might
act as a medium for strange phenomenon. (Keep in mind that Lovecraft is
often suspected by researchers of the bizarre for having been capable of
“tapping into” ancient rites and other realms with some strange mental
prowess he possessed, which translated into his fiction).

In fact, recent studies by University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers
found that DMT regulates a mysterious protein that is abundant
throughout the body called the sigma-1 receptor. Experiments with
laboratory mice that had had this receptor genetically removed yielded
the strange effect of /nothing/, whereas “normal” mice that had been
injected with DMT yielded expected increases in hyperactivity until the
effects of the drug had worn off. Indeed, it seems that a receptor for
the hallucinogenic effects of DMT may have been discovered.

But perhaps of even more interest is the fact that, in addition to small
amounts found throughout the body of sane healthy humans, elevated
levels of DMT have also been found in the urine of schizophrenics. This
brings to mind a few interesting questions; for instance, could finding
ways to inhibit or otherwise appease sigma-1 receptors in schizophrenic
patients result in a new treatment for the disease? On the other hand,
many of the shamanic cultures around the world who use DMT-rich snuffs
and teas in their rituals describe /entities/ they meet while taking the
stuff. Similarly, test subjects in various DMT studies (including those
of Rick Strassman) report meeting similar “beings”, and common to both
groups are haunting consistencies between descriptions of these
entities. In fact, some believe these beings could even be
“interdimensional ambassadors” which come to meet psychonauts in the
sub-space realm that lingers between reality and wherever people
experiencing a DMT trip tend to end up visiting.

If indeed there is a link between DMT and diseases like schizophrenia,
could this in any way mean that a person afflicted with such a condition
may have some limited ability to perceive elements of worlds beyond the
five senses? We are left with the curious, even frightening questions as
to how exactly drugs like DMT work, why it exists in the human body, and
how, under the right conditions, substances like this might bear strange
abilities that allow us some limited perception of those things which
exist in places /from beyond/.
* * * * * *

Here is some info from Dr Rick Strassman

“I had taken about 1000 pages of notes by the beside of the volunteers – 400 DMT sessions that we gave them over the space of about 5 years – and in reviewing people’s accounts of their experiences, probably half, maybe more, reported having the experience of being in some sort of contact, some sort of relationship, more or less passive, more or less active, with these free standing, discretely demarcated, sentient sort of beings. I ended up calling them "beings" rather than "entities" or "aliens" or any of that sort of thing because it seemed like the most neutral term to use, but they were described in various shapes and forms and guises. Sometimes they were humanoid, sometimes they were insectoid, sometimes they were reptilian, and sometimes plant-like. They were more or less aware of the volunteers. Oftentimes they seemed to be expecting the volunteers and were glad to see them, and then began interacting with them.
Other times they seemed surprised and angry that the volunteers’ consciousness, at the very least, had intruded upon the sphere of activity of that particular being. Sometimes the volunteers were treated or experimented on. Sometimes they experienced some type of sexual intercourse with the beings. Some were told scenarios of the future. Others were marked somehow or another for future reference in a way. Others showered light and love onto them. Others were guides to lead them to some other place, like through a tunnel leading to a typical near death or mystical experience. So it was the whole gamut of what you might expect.

Calling a Spade a Spade.


This article was posted by a journalist for the Daily Telegraph. It was taken down but is definitely worth a quick read. The blogger over at zero hedge grabbed it and saved it. I post here for everyones benefit.

Mark Patterson: "It's A Sham. The Banks Are Insolvent"

The chairman of $7 billion distressed Private Equity firm and TARP beneficiary MatlinPatterson calls a spade a spade and in the process exposes the entire Geithner plan for the complete sham that it is. His comments before the Qatar Global Investment Forum were captured by the Daily Telegraph's Evans-Pritchard.

US 'sham' bank bail-outs enrich speculators, says buy-out chief Mark Patterson

The US Treasury’s effort to stabilise the banking system through the TARP programme is a hopelessly ill-conceived policy that enriches speculators at public expense, according to the buy-out firm supposed to be pioneering the joint public-private bank rescues.

“The taxpayers ought to know that we are in effect receiving a subsidy. They put in 40pc of the money but get little of the equity upside,” said Mark Patterson, chairman of MatlinPatterson Advisers.

The comments are likely to infuriate Tim Geithner, the US Treasury Secretary, because MatlinPatterson took advantage of the TARP’s matching funds to buy Flagstar Bancorp in Michigan. His confession appears to validate concerns that the bail-out strategy is geared towards Wall Street.

Under the convoluted deal agreed earlier this year, MatlinPatterson has come to own 80pc of the shares while the US government has ended up with under 10pc.

Mr Patterson said the US Treasury is out of its depth and seems to be trying to put off drastic action by pretending that the banking system is still viable.

“It’s a sham. The banks are insolvent. The US government is trying to sedate the public because they are down to the last $100bn (£66bn) of the $700bn TARP funds. They think they’re doing this for the greater good of society,” he said, speaking at the Qatar Global Investment Forum.

Mr Patterson said it would be better for the US to bite the bullet as Britain has done, accepting that crippled lenders must be nationalised. “At least the British are not hiding the bail-out,” he said.

MatlinPatterson said private equity and hedge funds were deluding themselves in hoping to go back to business as usual after the trauma of the last 18 months.

“This is not a normal recession and there will be no V-shaped recovery. The crisis has destroyed leveraged companies. We’re going to see a catastrophic increase in the number of LBO’s (leveraged buyouts) going into default because they’re knee-deep in debt and no solution exists since they can’t refinance,” he said.

“Alfa hedge funds have been making their money by gambling with excessive leverage, so the knife that cuts off leverage is going to cut off their heads as well,” he said.

Like many bears, Mr Patterson expects the great crunch to end in deliberate inflation, deemed a lesser evil than outright depression.

“The US government has thrown 29pc of GDP at this crisis compared to 8pc in the early 1930s. The Fed’s balance sheet has risen from $900bn to $2.7 trillion to bail out the system. America has to do it because the only way out is to debase the currency, but that is going to lead to some very high inflation three years down the road,” he said.

Matlin Patterson, however, has missed the Spring rebound, the most powerful rise in equities in over 70 years. “We shorted the equity rally because we thought it was lunatic. We’ve kept adding positions seven times, and we’re still holding,” he said. Ouch!

The Role of Drugs In Spirit Contacts, And The Prophetic Implications

DR. L.A. MARZULLI DISCUSSES RECENT MEDICAL AND OTHER EVIDENCE OF DMT DRUG-INDUCED CONTACT WITH SPIRITUAL “ET” ENTITIES, AND POTENTIAL PROPHETIC EXPLANATIONS, ON THE 18 - 22 MAY 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Dr. L.A. Marzulli (www.lamarzulli.net), author of “Politics, Prophecy and the Supernatural” and the “Nephilim” trilogy, offers his specialized expertise and commentary on new research conducted that provides compelling evidence of legitimate spirit contact with “ET”-like entities by means of the natural drug DMT, and potential Biblical prophetic explanations for this phenomena, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 18 May 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 investigation was precipitated by a news article discussed on a recent “Future Quake” show, launching host “Doctor Future” into a more detailed study of this mysterious drug, recent findings, and Biblical answers. DMT is a “tryptamine” neuro-transmitter chemical that exists in a wide variety of plants in nature, and is even produced by our own bodies, although neutralized by other chemicals in the body. It is thought to be produced in the body by the pineal gland, an organ situated in the center of the brain that is shrouded in mystery, although thought historically to be a connection to the spirit world, and even alluded to as a means of contacting other dimensions by H.P. Lovecraft (who is suspected by many to have had access to ancient knowledge and practices) in his horror story, “From Beyond”. This drug has been extracted from plants for millennia and used in a potent “ayahuasca” potion by Amazonian and other tribal shamans, who claim regular contacts with the spirit world, to gain healing information and knowledge. More recent reports have come from investigations such as a “National Geographic” report from a representative who ingested such substances in an Amazonian ceremony, and experienced terrifying lucid visions of hellish worlds and malevolent beings who attempted to resist her escape. The most compelling of all reports were those scientific medical studies reported by clinical psychiatrist Dr. Rick Strassman, in his book “DMT: The Spirit Molecule”, who conducted a five year government-funded, clinical trial study at the University of New Mexico, with hundreds of carefully controlled trials and subjects, reporting that over half of subjects reported consistent contacts with such entities, with violent or hostile experiences in common with reported “alien abduction” phenomena. This and other data are discussed in light of Bible passages regarding drug-induced contacts with spirits (sorcery) in the Last Days, and the protective “marking” on the forehead (in the region of the pineal gland) practiced by the both the spiritual forces of good and evil to “seal” their own, in a truly unforgettable discussion.

“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.

CO-HOST TOM BIONIC DISCUSSES HIS LIFE JOURNEY FROM THE STUDY OF COMPARATIVE RELIGIONS UNTIL HE EMBRACED THE REALITY OF JESUS CHRIST, ON THE 11 - 15 MAY 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – “Future Quake” radio show co-host “Tom Bionic” discusses his life journey through his upbringing while surrounded by negative Christian influences, his subsequent search for truth amongst the world's religions, and a final reasoned acceptance of the Resurrection and the Christian faith, with host “Doctor Future”, airing daily during the week of 11 May 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 unique show, this expose of the biography of “Future Quake” co-host “Tom Bionic” reveals the influences in life that has led to Tom's individualistic perception of the Christian faith and the world in general, which regularly leads to stimulating discussions on air with “Doctor Future” (and his mid-American, traditional Evangelical influences), and creates the interesting dichotomy of perceptions that permeates every “Future Quake” interview and discussion. In this introspective interview, Tom reveals his West Coast, Bay Area influences growing up, including his initial negative encounters with cultural Christianity, and the pervasive New Age world view that is reflected in many aspects of that region of the country. Within this distinctively 'non-”Bible Belt”' environment, Tom expresses his eventual revelation that there was absolute truth, and that it is something worthy to be pursued. Throughout the subsequent stage of his life, Tom discusses his detailed, logical study of each of the world's major religions, bolstered by his intensive academic study of the tools of logic and reason, which led to his determination of the faulty facets of alternative belief systems, and that the answers to our reality hinged on the ramification of the teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Tom explores a number of alternative explanations for the disappearance of Christ's body, and reveals why he believes a true resurrection is the only reasonable explanation of the evidence that has been preserved, as further supported by the faithful witness of the Apostles to the reality of the Resurrection, even when resulting in their martyrdom, alone in the remote parts of the world. Tom concludes with a personal, heartfelt explanation of what his Christian faith has meant to him since then, as well as an appeal for all listeners to embrace a saving faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work, if they have not yet done so, while there is still yet time.

Richard Wurmbrand, and Ashton Lundeby and the "Patriot Act."

Sometimes, the things that just happen to pile up in my email inbox are just so succinct, nary a comment from myself is needed. All I have to do is just pass them along, essentially uncut to those who have ears to hear.

The first article is from wral.com and is linked on drudge.com. The second is from a pastor who is roundly considered "The Voice of the Underground Church."

Oxford, N.C. — Sixteen-year-old Ashton Lundeby's bedroom in his mother's Granville County home is nothing, if not patriotic. Images of American flags are everywhere – on the bed, on the floor, on the wall.

But according to the United States government, the tenth-grade home-schooler is being held on a criminal complaint that he made a bomb threat from his home on the night of Feb. 15.

The family was at a church function that night, his mother, Annette Lundeby, said.

"Undoubtedly, they were given false information, or they would not have had 12 agents in my house with a widow and two children and three cats," Lundeby said.

Around 10 p.m. on March 5, Lundeby said, armed FBI agents along with three local law enforcement officers stormed her home looking for her son. They handcuffed him and presented her with a search warrant.

"I was terrified," Lundeby's mother said. "There were guns, and I don't allow guns around my children. I don't believe in guns."

Lundeby told the officers that someone had hacked into her son's IP address and was using it to make crank calls connected through the Internet, making it look like the calls had originated from her home when they did not.

Her argument was ignored, she said. Agents seized a computer, a cell phone, gaming console, routers, bank statements and school records, according to federal search warrants.

"There were no bomb-making materials, not even a blasting cap, not even a wire," Lundeby said.

Ashton now sits in a juvenile facility in South Bend, Ind. His mother has had little access to him since his arrest. She has gone to her state representatives as well as attorneys, seeking assistance, but, she said, there is nothing she can do.

Lundeby said the USA Patriot Act stripped her son of his due process rights.

"We have no rights under the Patriot Act to even defend them, because the Patriot Act basically supersedes the Constitution," she said. "It wasn't intended to drag your barely 16-year-old, 120-pound son out in the middle of the night on a charge that we can't even defend."

Pastor Richard Wurmbrand is an evangelical minister who spent fourteen years in Communist imprisonment and torture in his homeland of Romania. He is one of Romania's most widely known Jewish Believer leaders, authors, and educators. In 1945, when the Communists seized Romania and attempted to control the churches for their purposes, Richard Wurmbrand immediately began an effective "underground" ministry to his enslaved people and the invading Russian soldiers. He was eventually arrested in 1948. Richard spent three years in solitary confinement, seeing no one but his Communist torturers.

PREPARING FOR THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH
By Pastor Richard Wurmbrand

Christian pastors must learn what an underground church looks like and what it does. I spoke with a bishop in Britain for an hour or so about underground church work. Finally, he said, "Excuse me, but you speak of my hobby; I am very interested in church architecture. Would you please tell me if the underground churches use Gothic styles in the building of churches?"

The Underground Church is comparatively unknown. We have it right next door, but we are not ready to join it and we are not trained for it. Every Christian pastor must know this because we might pass through tragic circumstances. Even if we do not pass through these tragic circumstances we have a duty to help and to instruct those who do pass through them.

In Muslim nations, in Red China and so on, many believers have become victims. Many have gone into prisons and many have died in prison. We cannot be proud of this. The better thing would have been to be well instructed on how to do underground work and not to be captured. I admire those who know how to work so well that they are not caught. We have to know the underground work.
PREPARING FOR SUFFERING
Suffering cannot be avoided in the Underground Church, whatever measures are taken, but suffering should be reduced to the minimum.

What happens in a country when oppressive powers take over? In some countries the terror starts at once, as in Mozambique and Cambodia. In other places religious liberty follows as never before. And so it begins. Some regimes come to power without having real power. They do not have the people on their side. They have not necessarily organized their police and their staff of the army yet.

In Russia, the Communists gave immediately great liberty to the Protestants in order to destroy the Orthodox. When they had destroyed the Orthodox, the turn came for the Protestants. The initial situation does not last long. During that time they infiltrate the churches, putting their men in leadership. They find out the weaknesses of pastors. Some might be ambitious men; some might be entrapped with the love of money. Another might have a hidden sin somewhere, wherewith he may be blackmailed. They explain that they would make it known and thus put their men in leadership. Then, at a certain moment the great persecution begins. In Romania such a clamp-down happened in one day. All the Catholic bishops went to prison, along with innumerable priests, monks and nuns. Then many Protestant pastors of all denominations were arrested. Many died in prison.

"Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he has done to Thy saints at Jerusalem: But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way; for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will show him how great things he must suffer for My name's sake "-(Acts 9:13, 15 and 16).

Jesus, our Lord, told Ananias: "Meet Saul of Tarsus. He will be My underground pastor, My underground worker." That is what St. Paul was - a pastor of an Underground Church. Jesus started a crash course for this underground pastor. He started it with the words, "I will show (him) how great things he must suffer..."

Preparation for underground work begins by studying sufferology, martyrology. Later, we will look at the technical side of underground work, but first of all there must be a certain spiritual preparation for it.

In a free country, to be a member of a church, it is enough to believe and to be baptized. In the Church underground it is not enough to be a member in it. You can be baptized and you can believe, but you will not be a member of the Underground Church unless you know how to suffer.

You might have the mightiest faith in the world, but if you are not prepared to suffer, then when you are taken by the police, you will get two slaps and you will declare anything. So the preparation for suffering is one of the essentials of the preparation of underground work.

A Christian does not panic if he is put in prison. For the rank and file believer, prison is a new place to witness for Christ. For a pastor, prison is a new parish. It is a parish with no great income but with great opportunities for work. I speak a little of this in my book, With God In Solitary Confinement.

In other books I mention Morse code, which is also part of the training for the Underground Church. You know what this is - a code by which messages are conveyed. Through this code you can preach the Gospel to those who are to your right and left.

Free parishioners look at their watch; "Already he has preached for thirty minutes. Will he never finish?" When arrested, watches are taken away from you; you have the parishioners with you the whole week and can preach to them from morning to night! They have no choice. There have never been, in the history of the Romanian or the Russian Church, so many conversions brought about as there have been in prison. So do not fear prison. Look upon it as just a new assignment given by God.

Men can accept this. But what about the terrible tortures which are inflicted on prisoners? What will we do about these tortures? Will we be able to bear them? If I do not bear them, I put in prison another fifty or sixty men whom I know because that is what the oppressors wish from me, to betray those around me. Hence comes the great need for preparation for suffering, which must start now. It is too difficult to prepare yourself for it when you are already in prison.
TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH
How much each one of us can suffer depends on how much he is bound up with a cause, how dear this cause is to him, and how much it means for him.

In this respect we have had in Communist countries very big surprises. There have been gifted preachers and writers of Christian books who have become traitors. The composer of the best hymnal of Romania became the composer of the best communist hymnal of Romania. Everything depends on whether we have remained in the sphere of words or if we are merged with the divine realities.

God is the Truth. The Bible is the truth about the Truth. Theology is the truth about the truth about the Truth. A good sermon is the truth about the truth about the truth, about the Truth It is not the Truth. The Truth is God alone. Around this Truth there is a scaffolding of words, of theologies, and of exposition. None of these is of any help in times of suffering. It is only the Truth Himself Who is of help, and we have to penetrate through sermons, through theological books, through everything which is 'words' and be bound up with the reality of God Himself.

I have told in the West how Christians were tied to crosses for four days and four nights. The crosses were put on the floor and other prisoners were tortured and made to fulfill their bodily necessities upon the faces and the bodies of the crucified ones. I have since been asked: "Which Bible verse helped and strengthened you in those circumstances?" My answer is: "NO Bible verse was of any help." It is sheer cant and religious hypocrisy to say, "This Bible verse strengthens me, or that Bible verse helps me." Bible verses alone are not meant to help.

We knew Psalm 23 - "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want... though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...." When you pass through suffering you realize that it was never meant by God that Psalm 23 should strengthen you. It is the Lord who can strengthen you, not the Psalm which speaks of Him so doing. It is not enough to have the Psalm. You must have the One about whom the Psalm speaks. We also knew the verse: "My Grace is sufficient for thee." But the verse is not sufficient. It is the Grace which is sufficient and not the verse.

Pastors and zealous witnesses who are handling the Word as a calling from God are in danger of giving holy words more value than they really have. Holy words are only the means to arrive at the reality expressed by them. If you are united with the Reality, the Lord Almighty, evil loses its power over you; it cannot break the Lord Almighty. If you only have the words of the Lord Almighty you can be very easily broken.
SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
The preparation for underground work is deep spiritualization. As we peel an onion in preparation for its use, so God must "peel" from us what are mere words, sensations of our enjoyments in religion, in order to arrive at the reality of our faith. Jesus has told us "that whosoever will follow" Him will have to "take up their cross," and He, Himself, showed how heavy this cross can be. We have to be prepared for this.

We have to make the preparation now before we are imprisoned. In prison you lose everything. You are undressed and given a prisoner's suit. No more nice furniture, nice carpets or nice curtains. You do not have a wife or husband any more and you do not have your children. You do not have your library and you never see a flower. Nothing of what makes life pleasant remains. Nobody resists who has not renounced the pleasures of life beforehand.

I personally use an exercise. I live in the United States of America. Can you imagine what an American supermarket looks like? You find there many delicious things. I look at everything and say to myself, "I can go without this thing and that thing; this thing is very nice, but I can go without: this third thing I can go without, too." I visited the whole supermarket and did not spend one dollar. I had the joy of seeing many beautiful things and the second joy to know that I can go without.
DOUBT MAKES TRAITORS
I am Jewish. In Hebrew, the language which Jesus Himself spoke and in which the first revelation has been given, the word "doubt" does not exist. To doubt is as wrong for a man as it would be for him to walk on four legs - he is not meant to walk on four legs. A man walks erect; he is not a beast. To doubt is subhuman.

To every one of us doubts come, but do not allow doubts about essential doctrines of the Bible such as the existence of God, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or the existence of eternal life to make a nest in your mind. Every theological or philosophical doubt makes you a potential traitor. You can allow yourself doubts while you have a nice study and you prepare sermons, and you eat well - or you write a book. Then you can allow yourself all kinds of daring ideas and doubts. When you are tortured these doubts are changed into treason because you have to decide to live or die for this faith.

One of the most important things about the spiritual preparation of an underground worker is the solution of his doubts. In mathematics, if you do not find the solution you may have made a mistake somewhere, so you continue until you find out. Don't live with doubts, but seek their solution.
TEST OF TORTURE
Now to come to the very moment of torture. Torture is sometimes very painful. Sometimes it is a simple beating. We have all been spanked as children and beating is just another spanking. A simple beating is very easy to take. Jesus has said we should come to Him like children, which is rather like candidates for spanking!

However, with us, Communists did not stop at beatings - they used very refined tortures. Now torture, you must know, can work both ways. It can harden you and strengthen your decision not to tell the police anything. There are thieves who resist any torture and would not betray those with whom they have co-operated in theft. The more you beat them the more obstinate they become. Or, torture can just break your will.

Now I will tell you of one very interesting case which was published by the Czech Communist Press. Novotny, who was the predecessor of Dubcek and who was a Communist dictator, had arrested one of his intimate comrades, a Communist leader, a convinced atheist, and a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. (Not only Christians, Jews or patriots were in prison. One Communist arrested another and tortured him just as they would do anybody else.) They arrested this Communist leader and put him in a prison cell alone. Electromagnetic rays, which disturb the mind, passed through this cell. A loudspeaker repeated day and night: "Is your name Joseph or not Joseph?" (His name was not Joseph.)

They tried to drive him mad. Day and night. He felt that he would lose his mind. At a certain moment, he got an illumination. "I have now met unmitigated evil. If Communists torture a Christian, it is not absolutely evil because Communists believe that they will construct an earthly paradise. Christians hinder them, so it is right to torture Christians. But when a Communist tortures a Communist, it is torture for torture's sake. There is absolutely no justification for it. But wait a little bit. Every coin has two sides, every electric cable has two poles. If there is an unmitigated evil, against whom does this unmitigated evil fight? There must be an unmitigated good. This is God, and against Him they fight."

When he was called to the interrogator, he entered smiling into the room and told him that he could switch off the loudspeaker now because it had attained its result. "I have become a Christian." The officer asked him, "How did it happen?" He told him the whole story. The officer said, "Wait a little bit." He called a few of his comrades and said, "Please repeat the stop before my comrades." He repeated the story, and the captain told the other police officer, "I told you that this method will not work. You have overdone it."

The Devil is not all mighty and all wise like God. He makes mistakes. Evil torture is an excess which can be used very well spiritually.
MOMENT OF CRISIS
Torture has a moment of explosion, and the torturer waits for this critical moment. Learn how to conquer doubt and to think thoroughly. There is always one moment of crisis when you are ready to write or pronounce the name of your accomplice in the underground work, or to say where the secret printing shop is, or something of that kind. You have been tortured so much nothing counts any more; the fact that I should not have pain also does not count. Draw this last conclusion at the stage at which you have arrived and you will see that you will overcome this one moment of crisis; it gives you an intense inner joy. You feel that Christ has been with you in that decisive moment. Jailers today are now trained and refined, aware that there is a moment of crisis. If they cannot get anything from you in that moment, then they abandon torturing: they know its continuation to be useless.

There are a few more points in connection with torture. It is very important to understand what Jesus said: "Take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for itself." I have had fourteen years of prison. Brother Hrapov had twenty six, Wong MingDao had twenty-eight. It seems impossible to bear long years of prison. You are not asked to bear it all at once. Do not bear even one day at a time - bear an hour at a time. One hour of pain everybody can bear. We have had a terrible toothache, a car accident - passing, perhaps, through untold anguish. You are not meant to bear pain more than this one present minute.

What amplifies pain is the memory that I have been beaten and tortured so many times and that tomorrow they will take me again, and the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I might not be alive - or they might not be alive. Tomorrow, there can be an overthrow, as in Romania. Yesterday beating has passed: tomorrow's torture has not come yet.
LOVE SUPREME
The Bible teaches some words very hard to take: "Whosoever does not hate father, mother, child, brother, sister - cannot be My disciple." These words mean almost nothing in a free country.

You probably know from The Voice of the Martyrs literature that thousands of children had been taken away from their parents in the former Soviet Union because they were taught about Christ. You must love Christ more than your family. There you are before a court and the judge tells you that if you deny Christ you may keep your children. If not, this will be the last time you will see them. Your heart may break, but your answer should be, "I love God."

Nadia Sloboda left her house for four years of prison. Her children were taken from her, but she left her house singing. The children, for whom the police waited with a truck to take them as she left, told their singing mother, "Don't worry about us. Wherever they put us, we will not give up our faith." They did not.

When Jesus was on the cross He not only suffered physically; He had His mother in front of Him, suffering. His mother had the Son suffering. They loved each other, but the glory of God was at stake and here any human sentiment must be secondary. Only if we take this attitude once and for all can we prepare for underground work.

Only Christ, the Great Sufferer, the Man of Sorrows, must live in us. There have been cases in Communist countries when Communist torturers threw away their rubber truncheons with which they beat a Christian and asked, "What is this halo which you have around your head? How is it that your face shines? I cannot beat you anymore." It is said of Stephen in the Bible, that "his face shone." We have known cases of Communist torturers who told the prisoner, "Shout loudly, cry loudly as if I would beat you so that my comrades will know that I torture you. But I cannot beat you." Thus, you would shout without anything happening to you.

There are other cases when prisoners really are tortured, sometimes to death. You have to choose between dying with Christ and for Christ or becoming a traitor. What is the worth of continuing to live when you will be ashamed to look into the mirror, knowing that the mirror will show you the face of a traitor?
LEARN TO BE SILENT
In the Underground Church, silence is one of the first rules. Every superfluous word you speak can put somebody in prison. A friend of mine, a great Christian composer, went to prison because Christians had the habit of saying, "How beautiful is this song composed by Brother _____." They praised him, and for this he got fifteen years of prison. Sing the song, but do not mention the name of the one who has written it.

You cannot learn to be silent the very moment the country is taken over. You have to learn to be silent from the moment of your conversion.

The secretary to Solzhenitsyn was put under such pressure by the Communists (and she had been denounced by Solzhenitsyn's wife) that she finished by hanging herself. If Solzhenitsyn had kept silent, this would not have happened.

Another question which is very important: I thank God for the years which I passed in Solitary confinement. I was, for three years, thirty feet beneath the earth. I never heard a word. I never spoke a word. There were no books. The outward voices ceased. The guards had felt soled shoes; you did not hear their approach. Then, with time, the inner voices ceased.

We were drugged, we were beaten. I forgot my whole theology. I forgot the whole Bible. One day I observed that I had forgotten the "Our Father." I could not say it any more. I knew that it began with "Our Father...," but I did not know the continuation. I just kept happy and said, "Our Father, I have forgotten the prayer, but you surely know it by heart. You hear it so many thousand times a day, so you assign an angel to say it for me, and I will just keep quiet." For a time my prayers were, "Jesus, I love You." And then after a little time again, "Jesus, I love You. Jesus, I love You." Then it became too difficult even to say this because we were doped with drugs which would destroy our minds. We were very hungry. We had one slice of bread a week. There were the beatings, and the tortures, and the lack of light, and other things. It became impossible to concentrate my mind to even say so much as, "Jesus, I love You." I abandoned it because I knew that it was necessary. The highest form of prayer which I know is the quiet beating of a heart which loves Him. Jesus should just hear "tick-a-tock, tick-a-tock", and He would know that every heartbeat is for Him.

When I came out from solitary confinement and was with other prisoners and heard them speaking, I wondered why they spoke! So much of our speech is useless. Today men become acquainted with each other and one will say, "How do you do?" and the other answers, "How do you do?" What is the use of this? Then one will say, "Don't you think that the weather is fine?" and the other thinks, and says, "Yes, I think it is fine." Why do we have to speak on whether the weather is fine? We do not take earnestly the word of Jesus Who says that men will be judged not for every bad word, but for every useless one. So it is written in the Bible.

Useless talking in some countries means prison and death for your brother. A word of praise about your brother, if it is not necessary, may mean catastrophe. For example, somebody comes to visit you and you say, "Oh! I'm sorry you were not here before - brother W. has just left." The visitor could be an informer of the secret police. Now she will know that bro-ther W. is in town! Keep your mouth shut. Learn to do it now.
PERMISSIBLE STRATAGEMS
You cannot do underground work without using stratagems. I know of one case which happened in Russia. The Communists suspected that the Christians were gathering somewhere and they surveyed a street. They knew that the meeting must be there somewhere. They saw a young boy going toward the house where they supposed the meeting would be. They stopped the boy and the police asked him, "Where are you going?" With a sad face, he said, "My oldest brother died, and now we gather the whole family to read his testament." The police officer was so impressed that he patted the boy and said, "Just go." The boy had not told a lie.

We are not obliged to tell an atheist tyrant the truth. We are not obliged to tell him what we are doing. It is indecent for his side to put questions to me, an impertinence.
RESISTING BRAINWASHING
One of the greatest methods is not only physical torture; it is brainwashing. We have to know how to resist brainwashing. Brainwashing exists in the free world, too. The press, radio and television brainwash us. There exists no motive in the world to drink Coca-Cola. You drink it because you are brainwashed. Water is surely better than Coca-Cola. But nobody advertises, "Drink water, drink water." if water were advertised, we would drink water. Some have driven this technique of brainwashing to its extreme. The methods vary, but brainwashing in my Romanian prison consisted essentially of this: we had to sit seventeen hours on a form which gave no possibility to lean, and you were not allowed to close your eyes. For seventeen hours a day we had to hear, "Communism is good, Communism is good, Communism is good, etc.; Christianity is dead, Christianity is dead, Christianity is dead, etc.; Give up, give up, etc." You were bored after one minute of this but you had to hear it the whole seventeen hours for weeks, months, years even, without any interruption.

I can assure you, it is not easy. It is one of the worst tortures. Much worse than physical torture. But Christ has foreseen all things because with Him there is no time. Future, past, present are one and the same: He knows all things from the beginning. Communists invented brainwashing too late! Christ had already invented the opposite to brainwashing - heart washing. He has said: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

Stephen, the first martyr for Christ, had around him hundreds with big stones in their hands to throw at him. He said: "I see." And the wife of Stephen probably thought he saw the danger he was in and would run away. But he said: "I see JESUS standing at the right hand of God." Perhaps she said (it is not recorded), "Don't you see all the mob around you ready to throw stones at you?" "Oh yes! I see some little ants there below not worth mentioning. I look to JESUS." He did not look to those who wished to kill him. Blessed are the pure in heart.

I had passed through brainwashing for over two years. Now the Communists would have said that my brain was still dirty. In the same rhythm in which they said, "Christianity is dead," I and others repeated to ourselves: "Christ also has been dead, Christ also has been dead." But we knew He rose from the dead. We remembered that we lived in the communion of saints.
OVERCOMING SOLITUDE
One of the greatest problems for an underground fighter is to know how to fill up his solitude. We had absolutely no books. Not only no Bible, but no books, no scrap of paper, and no pencil. We never heard a noise, and there was absolutely nothing to distract our attention. You looked at the walls, that was all. Now normally a mind under such circumstances becomes mad.

I can tell you from my own experience how I avoided becoming mad, but this again has to be prepared by a life of spiritual exercise beforehand. How much can you be alone without the Bible? How much can you bear to be with yourself without switching on the radio, or a record player, etc.?

I, and many other prisoners, did it like this. We never slept during the night. We slept during the day. The whole night we were awake. You know that a Psalm says, "...bless you the Lord,... which by night stand in the house of the Lord." One prayer at night is worth ten prayers during the day.

All great sins and crimes are committed during the night. The great robberies, drunkenness, reveling, adultery - this whole life of sin is a night life. During the day everyone has to work in a factory, college, or somewhere. The demonic forces are forces of the night, and therefore, it is so important to oppose them during the night.

In solitary confinement we awoke when the other prisoners went to bed. We filled our time with a program which was so heavy, we could not fulfill it. We started with a prayer, a prayer in which we traveled through the whole world. We prayed for each country, for where we knew the names of towns and men, and we prayed for great preachers. It took a good hour or two to come back. We prayed for pilots, and for those on the sea, and for those who were in prisons.

After having traveled through the whole world, I read the Bible from memory. To memorize the Bible is very important for an underground worker.
THE JOY OF THE LORD
Just to make us laugh also a little bit, I will tell you one thing which happened. Once while I lay on the few planks which were my bed, I read from memory the Sermon on the Mount, according to Luke. I arrived at the part where it is said, "When you are persecuted... for the Son of man's sake, rejoice you, in that day and leap for joy...." You will remember that it is written like this. I said, "How could I commit such a sin of neglect? Christ has said that we have to do two different things. One to rejoice, I have done. The second, to 'leap for joy,' I have not done." So I jumped. I came down from my bed and I began to jump around.

In prison, the door of a cell has a peep hole through which the warden looks into the cell. He happened to look in while I jumped around. So he believed that I had become mad. They had an order to behave very well with madmen so that their shouting and banging on the wall should not disturb the order of the prison. The guard immediately entered, quieted me down and said, "You will be released; you can see everything will be all right. Just remain quiet. I will bring you something." He brought me a big loaf of bread. Our portion was one slice of bread a week, and now I had a whole loaf, plus cheese. It was white. Never just eat cheese; first of all admire its whiteness. It is beautiful to look upon. He brought me also sugar. He spoke a few nice words again and locked the door and left.

I said, "I will eat these things after having finished my chapter from St. Luke." I lay down again and tried to remember where I had left off. "Yes, at 'when you are persecuted for My Name's sake, rejoice... and leap for joy because great is your reward." I looked at the loaf of bread and the cheese. Really, the reward was great!

So the next task is to think of the Bible and to meditate upon it. Every night, I composed a sermon beginning with "Dear brethren, and sisters" and finishing with "Amen." After I composed it, I delivered it. I put them afterwards in very short rhymes so that I could remember them. My books, With God In Solitary Confinement and If Prison Walls Could Speak, contain some of these sermons. I have memorized three hundred and fifty of them.

Out of bread I made chessmen, some of them whitened with a little bit of chalk and the others gray. I played chess with myself. Never believe that Bob Fisher is the greatest chess master of the world. He won the last match with Spassky. He won eight games and lost two. I, in three years, never lost a game; I always won either with white or gray!

Never allow your mind to become distressed because then the Communists have you entirely in their hands. Your mind must be continually exercised. It must be alert, it must think. It must, everyone according to his abilities, compose different things, etc.

I have told you all these things because they belong to the secrets of the underground worker when he suffers. May God bless you.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PRESS RELEASE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

4 MAY 2009

JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO REVEALS UNTOLD SCANDALOUS FACETS OF U.S. CIVIL RIGHTS LEGACY AND CURRENT LAWLESSNESS, AND PASTOR EXPOSES FEMA GOVERNMENT PLAN TO MANIPULATE PASTORS AND SERMONS, ON THE 4 - 8 MAY 09 “FUTURE QUAKE” RADIO PROGRAMS

Nashville, TN – Judge Andrew Napolitano (www.judgenap.com), a life-tenured New Jersey Superior Court Judge, Chief Judicial Analyst for Fox News, and host of weekly show “Freedom Watch”, discusses his new book documenting the shameful, largely hidden legacy of our nation's civil rights record, and Ohio pastor Walt Mansfield exposes a FEMA government plan to co-opt pastors to preach sermons and pressure citizens to cooperate with government martial law-type controls, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 4 May on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at www.futurequake.com). Judge Napolitano has risen as a leading national voice in educating and warning the public about the federal government's recent unlawful confiscation of Constitutional rights, from individuals, businesses and even the states, and the need for citizens to lawfully resist these aggressive acts. His newest book, “Dred Scott's Revenge”, exposes the full nature of our nation's abhorrent record of racial inequality, including the immoral acts and positions of some of America's “favorite sons”, such as Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson. In this interview, Judge Napolitano discusses the findings of this book, and comments on Dr. Future's inquiries of how the range of responses that “people of faith” elected historically to slavery and issues of race, from avoidance and ambivalence to active intervention, also face Christians today in responding to the Government's current confiscation of Constitutionally-guaranteed civil rights and freedoms. He also makes provocative claims that those who espouse Judeo-Christian values are obligated to disobey laws that violate Constitutional restrictions, and even that which violates natural law. Walt Mansfield, pastor of Grace Shepherd Church in Bellfontaine, Ohio, also bravely comes forward as an eyewitness of a 2006 meeting he attended, hosted by FEMA and other government and civil organizations (the government presentation documents of which have been forwarded to the hosts), which was intended to recruit and receive oaths from pastors across the country that they will preach sermons that will coerce parishioners to obey all government orders without delay, and actively coerce them to give up guns and property if resistant during national emergencies such as flu epidemics (the announced purpose of the meeting at the time), in exchange for prioritized receipt of scarce food and vaccines for their families. He warns that this program appears to have spread to every county in the country, and based upon his observations, pastors everywhere are taking the oaths to impose State dictates on their flocks.

“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).
