Tennessee Democrat Congressman Insulted Christian Evangelicals and Christian Universities During his House Judiciary Committee Questioning on Wednesday of Former Justice Department Official who was a former Regent University Graduate and He Exposed Religious Intolerance of the Left.
Congressman Steve Cohen -- a Democrat from the conservative state of Tennessee, during a House of Representatives Judiciary Committee hearing in which former Justice Department official and former Regent University Law School graduate Monica Goodling was interrogated -- insulted Christian evangelicals and questioned the credibility of Christian universities in America. The following is a sampling of the interrogation of Monica Goodling by Congressman Cohen.
REP. COHEN: The mission of the law school you attended, Regent, is to bring bear -- "is to bring to bear upon legal education and the legal profession the will of Almighty God, our Creator." What is "the will of Almighty God, our Creator" on the legal profession?
MS. GOODLING: I'm not sure that I could define that question for you.
REP. COHEN: Are there a lot of -- an inordinate number of people from Regent University Law School that were hired by the Department of Justice while you were there?
MS. GOODLING: I think we have a lot more people from Harvard and Yale.
REP. COHEN: Well, that's refreshing...."
As a result of this religious intolerance during Wednesday's congressional hearing, a number of outraged Republican Congressmen during their questioning of witness Monica Goodling, reminded their left-wing colleagues of the Christian roots of the founding of America and its early colleges and universities. Congressman Cohen was reminded that Harvard University was founded by a young minister, the Reverend John Harvard. For example, Texas Republican Congressman (and former judge) Louie Gohmert said:
"... And I would also point out, when we bring up God and Christianity and question somebody's belief for attending a religious college, that Harvard itself -- if we want to refer to them -- Psalm 8 is on Emerson Hall that houses the Philosophy Department.
Representative GOHMERT: What is man that thou art mindful of him? -- talking to God, from Psalm 8.
The Latin phrase meant truth for Christ and the church, and that was the official motto of Harvard in 1692.
And the rules and precepts of Harvard in 1646 said, Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, and therefore to lay Christ at the bottom as the only foundation. It is part of the foundation...."
Congressman Mike Pence, Republican from Indiana and former Chairman of the House of Representatives Republican Study Committee, also reminded Congressman Cohen in his questioning of Monica Goodling about the outstanding graduates who have graduated from Regent University: "... I was looking a little bit at your biography. I was piqued by a story on April the 8th in, I think, The Boston Globe that reflected on the harsh spotlight that had been drawn on the administration's tendency -- I'm quoting now -- to hire individuals from, quote, "conservative schools with sometimes marginal reputations," close- quote. You're a graduate, I think, cum laude from -- is it Regent University School of Law and Government, Virginia Beach, Virginia?
MS. GOODLING: I have a master's in public policy and a law degree from Regent, yes.
REP. PENCE: And is it also -- and you don't need to answer this. I think you may know that the attorney general of the state of Virginia is also a graduate of Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Congressman Randy Forbes, Republican from Virginia, represents a congressional district near Regent University said this during his questionning of Monica Goodling: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Goodling, many of us feared this day would come, but we did not realize it would arrive so soon, when the fact that someone was a Christian would be the subject of a line of questioning as to how someone performed their job at the Department of Justice or any other agency in the United States government.
It's not a good day, nor a good sign of things to come, and I just hope those individuals watching this across the country realize the sea change that's taken place.
In addition, since my district is contiguous to Regent University, I'd like to point out that not only is the attorney general of Virginia a graduate of Regent University, but this year, Regent University students won the American Bar Association's Negotiation Competition February 11, not only beating out 220 teams, but also beating the former winner, Harvard University.
And the American Bar Association, not exactly a bastion ofconservatism, has chosen Regent University to compete internationally in their competition.And that Regent has won the ABA's National Appellate Advocacy Competition 11 out of the last 14 years, including placing first for the best brief...."
Finally, Representative Steve King, Republican from Iowa said: "...So Harvard was founded to supplement the ministry itself. And then when I looked back on the founding documents of Yale and I find that they wanted to -- they did establish Yale in 1701 as a result of a conservative reaction by congregationalist leaders worried of what they identified as the increasing departure of Harvard College from its Calvinistic heritage.
(LAUGHTER)
Rep. KING: So then I look at Regent University, which Mr. Forbes has so well laid out their credentials and also your credentials simultaneously -- whether it was advertent or inadvertent.
And here I read, 'Our students, faculty and administrators share a calling founded on biblical principles to make a significant difference in our communities, our cities, our nations and the world.'
So I would submit that Regent is a successor to Yale, which is a successor to Harvard, in being founded upon religious principles. And this nation was founded upon religious principles, as was our Constitution.
So I think it is a laudable thing, not a derogatory thing. And we will on this side of the aisle stand up for all of our principles, our constitutional principles and our Christian principles whenever they are challenged or whenever we have the opportunity without them being challenged...."
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

To Be A God Fearing Muslim
Americans will find that for most Muslims generally - as it is for Jews or Christians or any God fearing individual - the central defining principles of faith are not dictated by the specific interpretations of God’s laws (sharia for Muslims) or to any single one of the interpretations of various passages of the Qur’an peaceful or otherwise. Faith, as we see it and as it has been taught in its most devotional expression is simply-- our personal relationship with a moral God—the God of Abraham. The stronger and more personal is that relationship, the more pious an individual may be. Thus piety is not measured by others or by outward actions or expressed beliefs, but rather piety is dependent upon the intensity and purity of that internal relationship with God.
The essence of the nucleus of the primary cell of Islam as an organism of faith is a human being’s manifestations and choices for goodness over evil which includes love, honesty, compassion, empathy, courage, integrity, humility, character, behavior, self-control, creativity, discipline, and gratitude to name a few of the faith defining human principles most faiths share. When families are taught about faith and God, most of the time was spent on these principles. The countervailing ‘evil’ choices to these positive human characteristics come from Satan and not from God. The existence of evil and its acts only demonstrates that God has given humanity free will. Without the existence of evil, humans would not have choice or free will. Often evil will exploit religion to defeat that which is good.
It is this inherent human tendency toward good and away from evil, which is the central notion of Islam as it is for Judaism and Christianity. From this then arises a spiritual life with a deep personal relationship and communication with God as seen in all of the faiths recognizing the God of Abraham.
From this spirituality, this goodness, then arises the character, which an individual carries to life and to our theological texts and their derived interpretations. While the body of laws available today may not all contain a modernized interpretation, it can certainly be modernized if the Muslims doing the modernizing are of sound moral conviction and integrity and education. It is the corruption, tribalism, and ignorance of so many in the Muslim world, which has poisoned any moves towards enlightenment. But this conflict between good and evil is one, which will be won by the righteous when pious Muslims who fear God, and respect universal humanitarian principles are empowered to stand up to evil under the moral courage of the inspired principles of the God of Abraham.

China Is Building Military Might
The Pentagon has said China is building military might.
Rev 9:15 So the four angels who were ready for that hour, day, month, and year were released to kill one-third of humanity.
Rev 9:16 The number of cavalry troops was 200,000,000. I heard how many there were.
Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
China is modernizing its military in ways that give it options for launching surprise attacks, potentially far from its borders.
In an annual report to Congress, the Pentagon said the Chinese are acquiring better missiles, submarines and aircraft and should more fully explain the purpose of a military buildup that has led some to view China as a threat.
In a measured tone, the report offered a detailed look at China's military modernization. And it outlined areas of perceived ambiguity in Chinese strategy, including its declared policy of never starting a nuclear war; it concluded that Beijing may be exploring "new options" provided by its force modernization.
Beijing's bachelor bulge: the unprecedented surplus of boys The dangerous combination of modern technology and traditional beliefs is creating a huge army of single men and a strain on China's social fabric.
In China, the trend has become so extreme that it is believed to be unprecedented in human history.
The unbalance is most dramatic in the southern and rural regions where people still hold traditional biases in favour of male children. Hainan province, where 137 boys are born for every 100 girls, has the worst ratio in the country, and could be a harbinger of China's future.
Prediction in 2010 more than 170 million men of marriageable age will be unable to find wives. All across China, the dangerous combination of modern technology and traditional beliefs is creating a huge army of single men.
Euphrates Dam-
also called Tabaqah, or Tabqa, Dam, dam on the Euphrates River in north-central Syria. The dam, which is located 30 miles upriver from the town of Ar-Raqqah, was begun in 1968. Its construction prompted an intense archaeological excavation of the area around the town of Tabaqah. The dam is of earth-fill construction, some 197 feet high and 2.8 miles long. It was completed in 1973, and the reservoir behind the dam, Lake Assad.
http://www.adiyamanli.org/ataturk_dam.htm
In Revelation 16:12, it is prophesied that the Euphrates will dry up in preparation for the Battle of Armageddon
All "puzzle pieces" are coming and fits together perfectly.
China will have "surplus" of 170 million single men in year 2010, China is located east of Jerusalem (Kings of the east), could be combined with North Korea, and other countries. This will fulfilled prophecies of 200 million soldiers marching to Jerusalem.
China is now booming economically, military build-up need a lot of cash. Weapons are expensive. If you go to any stores in the world now, you will find most products their selling are made in China. And the Pentagon says China is now building their own military might.
Euphrates Dam can shut down and dry up the whole river, to let this 200 million soldiers walk across. Thing that never cross people's mind back when they wrote that verse in the Bible.
What kind of weapons can kill one-third of humanity? That's at least 2 billion people. Nuclear!
Every single prophecies in the Bible will be fulfilled, if not already. There is no way around this, Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your personal God and Savior, Now!
We Have Been 'Set Apart'
Recently, while driving through an area where a couple of nightclubs were located, I once again realized the necessity for myself to remain sober in these last days. As I drove through this area looking in through the windows at the people drinking and carrying on, I felt sorrow for those who do not know Christ at this hour. Right here in America, the greatest bastion of Christianity in the entire world, most don't know or trust that God has preserved our nation and our very lives to this hour.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10
Unfortunately, we live in a world that does not place much value on Godly wisdom. If you disagree, just turn on your television. It is horrifying what is considered 'normal' today. What passes for 'entertainment' today is indicative of a culture in absolute moral decay. To make matters worse, modern culture and human tendencies have developed a 'herd mentality.' Many choose to go with the flow of society and rarely question the status quo. Like the frog that sits in the boiling pot of water until it is too late, the majority of our culture is willingly submerged in decadence, whether we realize it or not. Try as we may, we cannot escape its grasp. This decadence fills the television and radio airwaves. It lies in wait for us on the internet. It winks at us from advertising billboards. It saturates our nation's marketing tactics and is even seeping into the churches. Some people have even fooled themselves into believing that they can live however they desire without fear of any negative repercussions. It has been called the ultimate fool's game: "I can live my way & win."
As Christians, we have been purchased by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have been justified and sanctified. We have been 'set apart' for God's plans and purposes. We do not have the luxury of going along with the crowd, even though our 'flesh' may desire it. We have an important job in the Church to spread the good news of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection to an unbelieving sea of humanity. In today's homogenized culture, a commitment to Christ should make us stand out. In fact, as Christians, we are supposed to be different from this world. We are to be in this world, but not of it. Of course, I am not advocating that we should stand out solely for the purpose of standing out. Rather, as followers of Christ, this world should not feel like home to us. We are pilgrims, sojourners. Does this world feel like home to you? Have you become comfortable here?
We live in truly remarkable times. What a day and an hour to be living in! The lateness of the prophetic hour is staggering to the imagination. Each and every day, this present world is growing ever darker. We must do all we can to avoid strong attachments to the things of this world. Instead, we should seek to root ourselves in the Word of God and lose ourselves in His plans and purposes for our lives.
The time to dive into the things of God is now. You must make up your mind that you are going to follow Christ, no matter what happens in the natural. Financial disaster may strike, persecution may come, war may loom, but in all of those things we must CHOOSE to follow Christ and seek after His wisdom. With an attitude like that, you will be prepared for whatever may come. Readers, you are in my prayers continually. May the Lord richly bless you and may your faith be evidenced by your wisdom in these last days. Come, Lord Jesus!

Culture Clash in US Mosques
Theres a Culture clash in US mosques. Young Muslims steeped in American life are tuning out imams brought in from foreign countries to teach Islam.
Over the past 40 years, hundreds of thousands of Muslims from around the world have emigrated to the United States, bringing their own cultural interpretations of Islam and electing imams who support their views. This practice worked well until recently, when large numbers of these immigrants' Westernized children reached adulthood, creating a disconnect between faith and culture. Foreign imams are at the center of this fast-growing divide between immigrant Muslims and their American-born children.
When Muslim immigrants flooded into the US from the Middle East and South Asia in the 1960s and '70s, their "first priority was to preserve their cultural integrity". The need for an imam from their background is to preserve the cultural authenticity of that community.
Immigrant imams have served this purpose well, but the children of this immigrant wave – now adults – identify more with US culture than the one found in their parent's homeland. As a result, they find themselves increasingly at odds with foreign imams, who lead 85 percent of non-African-American mosques in the US. A mosque's imam is selected by its congregants, who often want someone fluent in Arabic, which is the language of the Koran.
Given the important role an imam plays in a Muslim community, having one who understands the Islamic faith and American culture equally well is vital, say many American Muslims. Most communities rely on imams to give religious guidance, lead prayers, deliver sermons, and serve as a community representative. Islam has no central authority, such as the papacy, to issue official decisions. It falls upon local imams to help the community deal with the various challenges it faces.
Some American-born Muslims now question whether an immigrant imam can adequately fill this role. There is a strong feeling that not just the immigrant imams, but also the first generation often can't relate very well to the society around them. There's just a very different worldview.
Every culture that adopted Islam infused its local traditions into the religion – from the food eaten at religious holidays to the social boundaries between men and women. Provided these indigenous customs don't clash with the theological core of Islam, this is perfectly permissible.
The immigrant generation is still living psychologically in their homeland. The second generation is the one that begins to assert itself as belonging to the new society.
In our communities, the challenge is people who just won't let go of ideas that they think define Islam when in fact it just defines the culture in which they were born. When immigrant imams are helping you and answering your questions, they're giving it from the perspective of wherever they're from without taking into consideration where they are, what's the context, what's the country like, what's the culture of the country. A lot of that is pushing young people away from the mosque.

One Generation, being Chipped
One Generation is all they need
Being chipped.
By the time my four-year-old son is swathed in the soft flesh of old age, he will likely find it unremarkable that he and almost everyone he knows will be permanently implanted with a microchip. Automatically tracking his location in real time, it will connect him with databases monitoring and recording his smallest behavioural
traits.
Most people anticipate such a prospect with a sense of horrified disbelief, dismissing it as a science-fiction fantasy. The technology, however, already exists. For years humane societies have implanted all the pets that leave their premises with a small
identifying microchip. As well, millions of consumer goods are now traced with tiny radio frequency identification chips that allow satellites to reveal their exact location.
A select group of people are already "chipped" with devices that automatically open doors, turn on lights, and perform other low-level miracles. Prominent among such individuals is researcher Kevin Warwick of Reading University in England; Warwick is a leading proponent of the almost limitless potential uses for such chips.
Other users include the patrons of the Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, many of whom have paid about $150 (U.S.) for the privilege of being implanted with an identifying chip that allows them to bypass lengthy club queues and purchase drinks by being scanned. These individuals are the advance guard of an effort to expand the technology as widely as possible.
From this point forward, microchips will become progressively smaller, less invasive, and easier to deploy. Thus, any realistic barrier to the wholesale "chipping" of Western citizens is not technological but cultural. It relies upon the visceral reaction against the prospect of being personally marked as one component in
a massive human inventory.
Today we might strongly hold such beliefs, but sensibilities can, and probably will, change. How this remarkable attitudinal transformation is likely to occur is clear to anyone who has paid attention to privacy issues over the past quarter-century. There will be no 3 a.m. knock on the door by storm troopers come to force
implants into our bodies. The process will be more subtle and cumulative, couched in the unassailable language of progress and social betterment, and mimicking many of the processes that have contributed to the expansion of closed-circuit television cameras and the corporate market in personal data.
A series of tried and tested strategies will be marshalled to familiarize citizens with the technology. These will be coupled with efforts to pressure tainted social groups and entice the remainder of the population into being chipped.
This, then, is how the next generation will come to be microchipped.
Now, is the time to contemplate the unprecedented dangers of this scenario....

We live in truly remarkable times. What a day and an hour to be living in! The lateness of the prophetic hour is staggering to the imagination. Each and every day, this present world is growing ever darker. We must do all we can to avoid strong attachments to the things of this world. Instead, we should seek to root ourselves in the Word of God and lose ourselves in His plans and purposes for our lives.
The time to dive into the things of God is now. You must make up your mind that you are going to follow Christ, no matter what happens in the natural. Financial disaster may strike, persecution may come, war may loom, but in all of those things we must CHOOSE to follow Christ and seek after His wisdom. With an attitude like that, you will be prepared for whatever may come. Readers, you are in my prayers continually. May the Lord richly bless you and may your faith be evidenced by your wisdom in these last days. Come, Lord Jesus!
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." Proverbs 9:10
Unfortunately, we live in a world that does not place much value on Godly wisdom. If you disagree, just turn on your television. It is horrifying what is considered 'normal' today. What passes for 'entertainment' today is indicative of a culture in absolute moral decay. To make matters worse, modern culture and human tendencies have developed a 'herd mentality.' Many choose to go with the flow of society and rarely question the status quo. Like the frog that sits in the boiling pot of water until it is too late, the majority of our culture is willingly submerged in decadence, whether we realize it or not. Try as we may, we cannot escape its grasp. This decadence fills the television and radio airwaves. It lies in wait for us on the internet. It winks at us from advertising billboards. It saturates our nation's marketing tactics and is even seeping into the churches. Some people have even fooled themselves into believing that they can live however they desire without fear of any negative repercussions. It has been called the ultimate fool's game: "I can live my way & win."
As Christians, we have been purchased by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have been justified and sanctified. We have been 'set apart' for God's plans and purposes. We do not have the luxury of going along with the crowd, even though our 'flesh' may desire it. We have an important job in the Church to spread the good news of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection to an unbelieving sea of humanity. In today's homogenized culture, a commitment to Christ should make us stand out. In fact, as Christians, we are supposed to be different from this world. We are to be in this world, but not of it. Of course, I am not advocating that we should stand out solely for the purpose of standing out. Rather, as followers of Christ, this world should not feel like home to us. We are pilgrims, sojourners. Does this world feel like home to you? Have you become comfortable here?

The Emerging Church Deception
Spiritual Deception
Some examples of Emerging Church criticism were posted along with a response by Precipice Magazine. For example, as an answer to the criticism—“I feel like you can never pin down the Emerging Church on what they actually believe. That kind of slippery theology seems dangerous, cowardly, and way too convenient in our politically correct culture”—the following statement is made:
There is a very good reason why it’s difficult to pin the Emerging Church down on certain issues. Simply put, the Emerging Church is an evolving movement, a fluid conversation. It is not a denomination with an official doctrinal statement to refer to. In these kinds of conversations it’s usually helpful to differentiate Emergent, a specific group, from the larger Emerging Church conversation. Emergent is one community within the larger context of the Emerging Church…
The EC crowd is not nervous when grey areas linger. Mystery is newly embraced in the EC. And this shift away from a blind emphasis on propositional truth seems much more in line with early Christian faith and practice. Faith is a process. The Christian experience is a journey. We would do well to remember that for the early followers of Christ, faith was commonly referred to as “the Way”—not the destination.
If Christianity is evolving, what is it evolving into? Whether or not one names this trend a “church” or a “conversation” is not the issue. What is important is whether or not the trend is based on sound Christian doctrine. Faith in the Bible is not the basis for this “New Reformation”. Faith in the Bible is not being promoted; it is it under attack. Faith is being undone.
Yes, it is true that the early church was called “The Way.” However, the church was called “The Way” because the members of the church were following Jesus, who said He was “The Way.” Jesus also said the “Way” is a “narrow way” and the “only way” to get into heaven. The Emerging Church way or emergent conversation or whatever name is used to describe this so-called New Reformation, in my view is a wide way that many are traveling and heading in the wrong direction.

No Ties To Terror? Ft. Dix 6
No Ties to Terror? Where are you Muslim moderates? We have not heard one peep from you since six Muslim men were caught before a nightmare disaster scene at Ft. Dix in New Jersey. Are you with us or not? Are you flying the American flag? Are you loyal to anyone or anything other than the Koran and some mullahs?
Eight years ago America opened its arms to tens of thousands of ethnic Muslim Albanian refugees from Kosovo. The first plane load came to Ft. Dix, NJ. Military leaders worked day and night to turn the base into a family-friendly village for them, including ethnic food preparations. The man in charge, Gen. Zais, said, "We want to welcome these people to America the way we might wish our grandparents and great-grandparents had been welcomed to Ellis Island."
According to the criminal complaint, "they laughed at our troops getting maimed and killed. They soaked up Osama bin Laden's evil rants. They studied the 9/11 hijackers' last wills. They contemplated infiltrating our armed forces to frag soldiers from the inside".
They relished the thought of spilling American blood on American soil. Is your blood boiling yet?
The six jihadists--yes, jihadists, even though Tony Snow says they have no ties to international terrorism--rather than thanking America for providing them a haven, gathered at a rental house to train with Mujahadin video games. Their ruthless motivation and thorough planning are stunning. But FBI agents should never have had to deal with at least three of these men: They were here illegally and should have been deported. Why? Because of the "Open Borders Lobby." And the likes of these men could be rewarded with a "Guest Worker Program," Social Security benefits, and a "path to citizenship."
Is anyone in doubt as to the terrorist game plan? It is to intimidate, subjugate, and eradicate U.S. citizens and bring the United States to its knees. This is not a secret. It is preached throughout the world in mosques and in Arab and Muslim media. As more aliens enter this country--legally and illegally--those who are Muslims are building mosques faster than coffee shop chains. The Saudis, who teach the most virulent and violent strain of Islam, underwrite most of them. That is not to say all Muslilms are terrorists, or that all mosques are centers for terrorist training, but surely some are and how do we identify them before we experience another September 11 . . . times 10?"
When will the President and Congress get serious about immigration bills and laws? Is this week's incident not sufficient to be a red flag waving? As a matter of fact, if this bunch of terrorists had lain low another few months, they might have gotten that illegal alien amnesty being bantered about.
Moderate Muslims should make it clear that American soldiers are their soldiers and they do not support attacks on our troops. I'll get the parade permit for them. I'll make all arrangements, but I sense no one would show up.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform has just completed a study that found illegal immigrants cost New Jersey taxpayers $2.1 billion annually. Were it not for a New Jersey convenience store worker and the jihadists' stupidity, the surcharge could have been in blood--and that blood would be on the hands of the ACLU, the People for the American Way, CAIR, and a leftist media that looks the other way. These and more make up the Open Borders Lobby which is just another plan to destroy America.
America will not fall unless God lets us fall. But the disaster that would have ensued had these men not been stopped is incalculable. Families--women and children--would have been victims as well as Ft. Dix soldiers. It was not a coincidence or luck that stopped the planned carnage. It was a loving God who chose not to let that happen to America. How long will His patience with our nation last? Praying believers are still a mighty force.

Jihad In U.S. Streets
JIHAD IN U.S. STREETS
J. Grant Swank, Jr. (ArriveNet Editorials - May 04, 2007) -- "These killers are known as "paintball jihadists" in that they practice in paintball game style what they have planned for America’s streets. They are already training others in "urban combat" using paintball guns. They will engage in paramilitary-style training right under our noses, and lie about it to our faces. They are protected, in some cases, by the religious Imams, some who even encourage or schedule such outings."
Zealot Muslims now plan to bathe America’s streets with gunfire just as is going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Darfur and so forth.
Once these Allah devotees get hold, they don’t stop. Street fighting never ends. Further, these fighters are more than willing to sacrifice their own bodies and those of their families and neighbors in order to see through Islam World Rule.
Douglas J. Hagmann, Director, Northeast Intelligence Network, reports that American officials already know of the process. However, both government and media are muffling detail.
Jihad will come to the United States due to "Muslim men inside the U.S., adhering to the Islamist ideology of jihad, preparing for war on the streets of America.
"The ‘insider’ reports are very troubling and are purposely being downplayed by official sources and go largely unreported in the media.
"One case, however, can serve as an example of what is taking place all across the U.S. involving the procurement and disbursement of weapons to Muslim ‘jihadists.’ On Tuesday, May 2, 2007, a federal indictment was unsealed in the U.S. federal court in St. Louis naming eight Islamic men as defendants in a case involving the buying, selling or hiding of automatic weapons, an anti-personnel mine and other explosives.

Virulent new Tuberculosis strain
Virulent new Tuberculosis strain are raising fears of a pandemic
A virulent strain of tuberculosis resistant to most available drugs is
surfacing around the globe, raising fears of a pandemic that could
devastate efforts to contain TB and prove deadly to people with
immune-deficiency diseases such as HIV-AIDS.
Known formally as extensively drug-resistant TB, or XDR-TB, the strain
has been detected in 37 countries. It arises when the bacterium that
causes TB mutates because antibiotics used to combat it are carelessly
administered by poorly trained doctors or patients don't take their
full course of medication. Rather than being killed by the drugs, the
microbe builds up resistance to them. At least 50% of those who
contract this strain of TB will die of it, according to medical
experts.
In trying to stop the spread of the disease, which can be transmitted
through coughing, spitting or even speaking, health officials have
imposed sometimes extreme controls on infected people. Robert Daniels,
a 27-year-old dual Russian-US citizen, underwent months of treatment
for TB in Russia, where he often led a homeless existence. After
telling people he was feeling better, he flew from Moscow to New York
on January 14 last year, then on to Phoenix, Arizona. In fact, his
disease had not disappeared.
The microbe causing it had mutated, apparently helped by his failure
to complete a drug regimen in Russia. Weeks after arriving in Phoenix,
Daniels was again coughing, feeling weak and losing weight. Doctors in
Phoenix diagnosed his illness as the new resistant strain of TB.
Daniels again failed to follow doctors' orders, authorities say. So
health officials got a court order, and he was locked up in the prison
wing of a Phoenix hospital, where he has spent the past nine months in
hermetically sealed isolation. It's not right," Daniels said in a
telephone interview. I'm not a criminal."
Daniels has become a case study in the bleak choices society faces in
dealing with the new strain and attempting to balance protection of
individual rights with protection of the public. Evidence of TB has
been found in ancient skeletons and mummified remains. From the 17th
century to the 20th, it was a major killer in the United States and
Europe, taking the lives of such notable people as the poet John
Keats, the composer Frederic Chopin, the writer Stephen Crane and the
actress Vivien Leigh. Even in the antibiotics age, TB has remained a
scourge in poorer countries and communities. Today, one in three
people globally is estimated to be infected with dormant TB, according
to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Most will never get sick, but in one in 10 cases the bacterium becomes
active when the host's immune system is compromised. Worldwide, an
estimated 1.7 million people die every year of the disease. Two events
last year alerted the medical community to a frightening new version
of the disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
drawing on a survey of TB labs on six continents, reported that the
prevalence of the super strain of TB increased from 3% of patients to
11% between 2000 and 2004. It reached 15% in South Korea and 19% in
Latvia. There are no statistics yet about the new strain in Russia,
China or Africa, areas with major TB populations.
In the United States, 13,767 TB cases were recorded in 2006, the
lowest rate of infection since reporting began in 1953. A
retrospective analysis by the CDC found 49 cases of the new strain in
the country since 1993. The CDC survey was followed by a report from
Yale University researchers that the superbug had raged through a
rural hospital in South Africa in 2005 and early 2006, killing 52 of
53 who contracted it, including six health care workers. The victims,
apparently infected by airborne transmission of the virus, died on
average just 16 days after diagnosis; most of them also had HIV. We
have to come to grips with this quickly," said Vladislav Yerokhin,
director of the Central Tuberculosis Research Institute in Moscow.
This is not just a threat for TB patients. This is a serious threat
for the general population."

UN Definition of Genocide
UN Definition of Genocide:
The United Nations defines genocide as “any… acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such…”
Both the Koranic policy of Jihad and Dhimmitude are both directly genocidal, by this definition:
First, the Koran describing Jihad:
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds, then set them free, either by grace or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. - 47:4
(different translation: ) When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.
Allah is an enemy to unbelievers. - Sura 2:98
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161
Fight unbelievers who are near to you. 9:123 (different translation:
Believers! Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you. (another source: ) Ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers....
Muhammad is Allah's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. Through them, Allah seeks to enrage the unbelievers. - 48:29
Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal sternly with them. Hell shall be their home, evil their fate. - 66:9
Allah has cursed the unbelievers and proposed for them a blazing hell. - 33:60
Unbelievers are enemies of Allah and they will roast in hell. - 41:14
O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. - 5:54
Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme - 8:39
It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. - 8:67
Allah will humble the unbelievers. Allah and His apostle are free from obligations to idol-worshipers. Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers. - 9:2-3
When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. - 9:5
Believers! Know that idolators are unclean. - 9:28
The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. - 98:51
Fight them so that Allah may punish them at your hands, and put them to shame. (verse cited in Newsweek 2/11/02)
Second, Dhimmitude, a policy of deliberate Cultural obliteration
For those not killed by the invading Muslims, they might be allowed to live as Dhimmis; their lives are spared if they surrender to a set of humiliating and oppressive laws and regulations that demand subservience and guarantee the eventual extinction of their culture.
The Pact of Umar is a fundamental document in prescribing the condition of tolerated "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians) living within Muslim-controlled states.
Dhimmi are granted the right to practice their own religious rites in privacy. The protection of their persons and property was also part of the pact but the punishment for infringement was less severe than for a Muslim. During aberrant fundamentalist movements, these rights varied or did not apply.
To secure their rights, dhimmi would pledge loyalty to their Muslim rulers, pay a special poll-tax (the jizya) for adult males, and in general show deference and humility to Muslims in social interactions.
While the conditions of the Pact were authoritative, the level of enforcement varied, as shown by the existence of churches constructed long after the Muslim conquests.
ARTICLES OF THE PACT OF UMAR
We Christians:
1 - We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood, new monasteries,
2 - churches,
3 - convents,
4 - or monks' cells,
5 - nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins
6 - or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims. . . .
7- We shall not give shelter in our churches or in our dwellings to any spy,
8 - nor hide him from the Muslims. We shall not teach the Quran to our children.
9 - We shall not manifest our religion publicly
10 - nor convert anyone to it.
11 - We shall not prevent any of our kin from entering Islam if they wish it.
12 - We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and
13 - we shall rise from our seats if they wish to sit.
14 - We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments, the headgear, the turban, footwear, or the parting of the hair.
15 - We shall not speak as they do,
16 - nor shall we adopt their honorific names.
17 - We shall not mount on saddles,
18- nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our persons.
19 - We shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on our seals.
20 - We shall not sell fermented drinks. (i.e. Alcohol)
21 - We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims.
22 - We shall only use clappers in our churches very softly.
23 - We shall not raise our voices in our church services or in the presence of Muslims,
24 - nor shall we raise our voices when following our dead.
25 - We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets.
26 - We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims.
27 - We shall not take slave who have been allotted to the Muslims.
28 - We shall not build houses over-topping the houses of the Muslims.

Second, Dhimmitude, a policy of deliberate Cultural obliteration
For those not killed by the invading Muslims, they might be allowed to live as Dhimmis; their lives are spared if they surrender to a set of humiliating and oppressive laws and regulations that demand subservience and guarantee the eventual extinction of their culture.
The Pact of Umar is a fundamental document in prescribing the condition of tolerated "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians) living within Muslim-controlled states.
Dhimmi are granted the right to practice their own religious rites in privacy. The protection of their persons and property was also part of the pact but the punishment for infringement was less severe than for a Muslim. During aberrant fundamentalist movements, these rights varied or did not apply.
To secure their rights, dhimmi would pledge loyalty to their Muslim rulers, pay a special poll-tax (the jizya) for adult males, and in general show deference and humility to Muslims in social interactions.
While the conditions of the Pact were authoritative, the level of enforcement varied, as shown by the existence of churches constructed long after the Muslim conquests.

Spiritual Warfare
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12
Spiritual warfare is real. Sometimes it is subtle and looks like bitterness and criticism. Sometimes it is overt-and the best word to describe it is possession. Equip yourselves to identify spiritual battles and turn to Christ for relief. Learn to recognize what is-and is not-spiritual warfare. Learn how to teach about it, preach about it, and reclaim your church and individual Christians from the spiritual oppression that is an inevitable part of the Christian life.

To Keep and Bear Arms
Alarming details about the Virginia Tech tragedy underscore the importance of a citizen’s individual right to keep and bear arms.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
--- Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
There were abundant warning signs that gunman Cho posed a serious threat to the campus community, yet here he was running loose and committing mayhem. And all that seems to be on the minds of many in the media and at the offices of gun control extremists is figuring out how to exploit this horrible tragedy to erode and eventually destroy the right, and the means, of self-defense.
Taken to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation in December 2005 by the police a Montgomery County district court ruled Cho a danger to himself or others. But doctor found Cho’s “insight and judgment” to be “normal,” and he was only given outpatient treatment.
Now the Anti-Gun Coalitions are trying to use these events to destroy the right of Americans to keep and bear arms to protect themselves under the law. They are attacking and hiding behind an Anti-Terrorist Agenda while getting political and financial support from:
George Soros a Hungarian-born billionaire bank rolling efforts with his check book and spending more that $100 million to destroy the Constitution.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (NY) has consistently sought to trample the Second Amendment.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (CA) admitted that “guns would be banned and confiscated” if she could have her way.
New York City’s rogue Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is trying to ride the removal of your gun rights into the White House as a third party candidate.
The United Nations actively pushes globalism seeking to disarm all Americans.
We must Stop the Anti-Gun Coalition and get ready for the biggest gun control fight of the year from coast to coast.
Good Americans possess the strength of heart and the ardor to protect their fellow human beings from being harmed. Honorable people do exist, and they are far more common than the Cho’s of the world.
That is not the view that Washington anti-gun lobbyists hold. In the aftermath they seek to capitalize on the situation in order to further their agenda, of the disarmament of the American people. They seek to make it a law, that the good people of the world are not even able to do anything in the face of evil. They want you, the good people of the world, to be the first one to duck for cover behind a desk. To be the first to save your own skin. When faced with dreadful evil, their first response is to run, and hope you're the fastest runner. Now they seek to force the selfless people of the world to abandon the means to defend themselves and follow the liberal’s cowardly ideals.
Tell me, for whom should I weep?
Tell me, for whom should I weep?
On April 16, 2007, thirty-two people were murdered at Virginia Tech. I use the term
"people" instead of "students" purposely. There were old and young, male and female as well different ethic groups. We the people were shocked and sickened. Our president ordered flags to be flown at half-mast and made a trip to the campus to speak on behalf of the American people.
There is no doubt that this was a tragedy. But, I am a little confused: for whom should I weep? Someone needs to find out how many of the slain were "libs", "neocons", Evangelical Christians, pro-abortion, pro-choice, etc. so that I will be certain to mourn appropriately. Someone should also print the same statistics for the victims of September 11th, so I would have a clear picture of those worthy of my tears.
The hypocrisy in this country is astounding to me. Flags at half-mast for those shot at a university by one person, but not for anyone serving this country in Iraq or Afghanistan? The president sees it as his duty to represent us on a college campus, but has not attended a single funeral for a single one of our troops? In addition, the first thing I heard from the media after the shooting was about the second amendment. No mention of the fifth or sixth commandment (depending upon your religion), "thou shall not kill."
We live in a new America, which is based on hate and revenge. We are at each other's throats if we disagree on politics or religion, or we are afraid to talk about either out of fear of retribution. We are no longer united. The killer at Virginia Tech as well as the killers in so many senseless crimes were taking revenge on bullies, among other things, and we wonder why this keeps happening to our children, but don't we love and support bullies? We support the bullies running this country and our churches, don't we? We don't teach our children to stand up to bullies, but to be bullies, by our words and deeds, by our media and churches and leaders. Don't we also teach revenge?
So tell me, for whom should I weep?
Jesus wept. John 11:35
