God's Judgment

This weekend Ted Kennedy's funeral took place ending an important chapter in American history. Appropriately, tropical storm Danny was absorbed into a weather front and rained down over the funeral procession in Boston. The name "Daniel" means "God is my judge". Truly, as has been revealed to me, America is facing God's judgment.


Some 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ made the following reply when quizzed about God's most important Law:

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Matthew 22:35-39)

Has America abided by this Law?

Near the end of the epilogue to My Thesis, I write the following:

The bottom line is that 'rational market theory', which has effectively become faith in the 'invisible hand' of Mammon, is leading to catastrophic failure.

"No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon." (Matthew 6:24)

Man has placed his faith in the wrong god and, consequently, is facing a total upset of his irrational beliefs and expectations.

What form will God's judgment take? What will precipitate the crash of Western Civilization the cycles of history indicate may be imminent?

This should be obvious, but, because the world is under the spell of the Antichrist's "strong delusion" as foretold by Paul, apparently only the select can see the truth.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. (II Thessalonians 2:8-12)

Russia deems itself to be the Third Rome. Communism was done away with by Moscow's ruling elite to replace one false ideological front with another: Christianity.





That this is the case can easily be discerned by examining Russia's state emblem as adopted in 1992, right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Here's an image of the central Coat of Arms:


Now here is the Byzantine Empire emblem that appears above the front entrance of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople which signifies the Second Rome:


The main difference is the central image in the Russian state emblem of St. George on a white horse slaying the satanic serpent....which, in a modern context, represents Russia slaying the satanic evil of the West.

There are, of course, rather dire implications for the world, and Western Civilization in particular, if, indeed, Russia fancies itself a Third Rome. First off, bear in mind that the concept of the "Third Rome" is parallel to the "Third Reich" of Nazi Germany:

The name Third Reich (Drittes Reich, "Third Reich") refers to the state as the successor to the Holy Roman Empire of the Middle Ages and the German Empire of 1871–1918. (Wikipedia)

Thus, the current mentality of the Kremlin is on par with that of Hitler's Third Reich. What's worse, Russia's identification with being a Third Rome means that the leader is upheld not just as a czar but, more so, as Czar of Czars, i.e., the incarnation of Christ (READ: "Czar" = C-zar = Caesar). In this sense, the utopian social goal of Communism is displaced by a utopian totalitarian goal of Russia's version of the kingdom of god. Also, since Jews are deemed to be responsible for the murder of Jesus, they are therefore the primary target of divine Russian retribution....thus making "Zionism", purportedly advanced by Israel and America, primary strategic targets of Moscow's thermonuclear machinations.

Of course, the truth of the matter is that Constantine I hijacked the message of Christ for personal deification in order to cement control over his empire. This is no different than what the modern-day ruling elite of Russia are up to.

The problem for Russia is that I'm back and have a far different vision for God's Kingdom....one premised on the American Ideal of man over government rather than vice versa. I suggest people pick sides accordingly.

Russia's Mission

The Russian Idea proceeded....from the belief that the contemporary world was suffering from a global spiritual crisis 'carrying humankind headlong toward catastrophe' (in the words of a present day prophet). It pointed to the inability of the secularized, materialistic and cosmopolitan West to come to grips with this crisis, whose historical source lay in the secular Enlightenment: in the West's rejection of religion as the spiritual basis of politics and in its inability to realize that not the individual but the nation is the foundation of the world order conceived by God; that 'humankind is quantified by nations'.

The Russian Idea pointed to the providential role of Orthodoxy, as uniquely capable of pulling back the world from the brink of the abyss, and to Russia as the instrument of this great mission. While the Russian Idea rejected the 'government's interference in the moral life of the people' (the police state), it also denounced the 'people's interference in state power' (democracy). To both of these it opposed the 'principle of AUTHORITARIAN power'. The state, it taught, must be unlimited because 'only under unlimited monarchial power can the people separate the government from themselves and free themselves to concentrate on moral-social life, on the drive for spiritual freedom'.

The Russian idea did not acknowledge the central postulate of Western political thought concerning the separation of powers (as the institutional embodiment of the neutralization of vice by vice). Instead, it advocated the principle of separation of functions between temporal and spiritual powers: the state guards the country against external foes and the Orthodox church settles the nation's internal conflicts....It cherished the ideal of the nation cum family, requiring neither parliaments, political parties, nor separation of powers. Like the family, the nation would have no need of legal guarnatees or institutional limitations on state's power and its focus should not be the rights, but rather the obligations of its members. The nation's conflicts, according to the Russian Idea, must be reconciled by spiritual, rather than constitutional, authority.

The ideal of the nation as family presupposed the need for salvation from the sinful influences of the 'street' (the West) and, consequently, from a spiritual rebirth and a moral revolution. In the course of this Russia would return 'home' to its pure rural roots, to the tsarist Rus'...

"Today the Soviet system can no longer seriously strive toward the spectre of Communism - but at the same time it cannot yet abandon the grandeur of its tasks, for otherwise it would have to answer for fruitless sacrifices which are truly innumerable. But in what then can the Soviet system find its justification? Only in the consciousness that it was unconsciously in the past, as it is now quite consciously, God's instrument for constructing a new Christian world. It has no other justification, and this is . . . a genuine and great justification. By adopting it, our state will discover in itself a truly inexhaustable source of Truth, spiritual energy and strength, which has never before existed in history . . . The old pagan world has now finally outlived its era . . . In order not to perish with it we must build a new civilization - but is Western society, whose foundations have been destroyed, really capable of this? Only the Soviet sytem, having adopted Russian Orthodoxy . . . is capable of beginning THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD." (Passage written by Russian nationalist G.M. Shimanov quoted in Yanov's The Russian Challenge, p.236)

From outward appearances it would seem that the old Soviet Union has returned. A thing crucified, dead and buried has been resurrected. Four weeks after Vladimir Putin’s re-election, a procession led by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church arrived at the Church of Christ the Redeemer in Moscow. In keeping with ancient tradition the doors of the church were shut, symbolizing the sealed cave where Christ’s body was placed following crucifixion. “After midnight,” noted Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, “the Orthodox faithful taking part in the procession await the opening of the church doors. The patriarch stands on the steps at their head and is the first to enter the empty temple where the Resurrection of Christ has already occurred.” In due course the Patriarch offered up a prayer, the doors of the Church of Christ the Redeemer were opened and out stepped President Vladimir Putin. If any Christians were present for this ceremony they offered no protest to this blatant sacrilege. The woman who reported this event for the benefit of Western readers has since been assassinated. The KGB defector who was investigating the circumstances of her death has been poisoned (i.e., Litvinenko). [SOURCE]

Note that Vladimir Putin took power in Moscow on December 31st, 1999, at the turn of the Millenium. Given that a day is like a thousand years to the Lord, Putin's rise to power was supposed to symbolize how Christ rose on the third day, i.e., on January 1st, 2000, the holy (the term is used loosely here) Russian empire (i.e., the "Third Rome") and its 'tsar of tsars' (i.e., king of kings) "resurrected".

Apocalypse Warning

In July, I highlighted how a total solar eclipse may be a portent of the Apocalypse. Meanwhile, as I've also paid close attention to in this blog, long-wave patterns in stock prices and mass mood are on the verge of turning down again into what may be the collapse of Western Civilization. Now I'm starting to discern the geopolitical ingredients for the realization of the apocalyptic vision I experienced 18 years ago.

Today, Hezbollah's deputy secretary-general, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said Hezbollah would avenge the 'assassination' of Imad Mughniyeh that the terrorist organization attributes to Israel (although there is substantial reason to suspect otherwise). In so doing, Hezbollah is making an 'in your face' threat against Israel that could be a harbinger of a new Arab-Israeli war which, in turn, could have catastrophic consequences for the entire world.

In recent weeks a war of words erupted between Israel and Lebanon. Although the source of tension was unclear, there were signs it had to do with intelligence Israel received regarding an imminent threat of some sort from Hezbollah:

The war of words between Israel and the Lebanese resistance movement Hizbullah has heated up in the last week, raising fears that another war between Lebanon and Israel is imminent. On Monday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the Lebanese government that it would be held responsible for any attacks on Israeli targets even if the attacks were carried out independently by the group.

“The government of Lebanon cannot just say ‘that’s Hizbullah,’ and hide behind them,” Netan­yahu was reported in the Israeli daily Haaretz as saying. “The government of Lebanon is in power and responsible.” (The Daily Star, 8/13/09)

With regard to a threat from Hezbollah, Israel has been keeping a close eye on Latin America as the potential site for a terrorist attack purportedly to avenge the death of Imad Mugniyeh:

Threats have been volleyed back and forth between Hezbollah and Israel recently. Senior Israeli officials warned that if the organization makes an attempt to attack Israeli targets, the response will be unforgiving. Hezbollah responded in kind with a threat of its own that if Israel were to attack Lebanon, the Jewish State will pay a heavy price.

It has recently been made clear that Israel's public warnings on the issue stem from intelligence assessments that Hezbollah is investing significant efforts to carry out terrorist attacks against Israeli targets and Jewish institutions in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Peru in a bid to avenge the death of the organization's late leader Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in Damascus more than a year ago.

According to the Israeli source, Hezbollah operatives in South America are collecting intelligence to this end. The Israeli intelligence community estimates that Hezbollah will try as much as possible not to leave identifying footprints that could associate the organization with the attack in the wake of such a strike in a bid to avoid Israel's heavy hand. In the same vein, it is estimated that the organization will not take public responsibility for a terrorist attack if it were to carry one out successfully.

This is also the reason the organization is purportedly looking to carry out an attack far away from Israel.

Egypt has recently exposed cluster of secret Hezbollah-related terrorist cells that planned on assassinated Israeli Ambassador to Egypt Shalom Cohen. Another cell that planned on targeting Israeli tourists was discovered in Jordan. On this backdrop, Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon warned that should Hezbollah attack Israeli targets anywhere around the globe, harsh retaliation will ensue.

During his visit to South America a few weeks ago, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman handed over information to his Latin counterparts on Hezbollah's activities in the countries he visited. According to the Israeli source, the main objective is to signal to Hezbollah that Israel is aware of the organization's subversive activities in South America and is keeping close watch.

"We sought to deter them and to say to them that the Israeli response will be difficult to bear should they try to take action against Israelis anywhere," warned the source. (Ynet News, 8/13/09; Also see "Waiting For Orders", Ynet News, 8/14/09)

Thus, there is clearly something up between Israel and Hezbollah likely related to intelligence of an upcoming terrorist attack against Jewish interests in Latin America. Note that this has occurred twice before:

The two largest terrorist attacks in Latin American history were conducted by Hizballah against Jewish interests in Buenos Aires. Argentina's Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires was the sight of the first explosion, a car bomb, on Mar. 17, 1992. The bomb killed 29 and injured over 250. On Jul. 18, 1994, the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires was bombed; 87 people were killed, and over 100 injured. While the two cases, which are thought to be related, have been officially under investigation for over thirteen years, little progress has been made, and the responsible parties have not yet been apprehended. (The Examiner, 8/14/09)

Should another such attack occur, it appears Israel will target not just Hezbollah, but Lebanon as a proxy state for the the terrorist organization....which, in turn, means Iran, since Tehran is the puppet-master behind the Shiite Moslem terrorist organization:

There is no better place to understand Iranian strategy than the Laleh Park in central Tehran, where young and old gather most afternoons to engage in an ancient form of combat.

Chess has helped sharpen the Persian mind for centuries and may explain how today’s regime is plotting its next move to become a superpower.

Some time over the coming two to three years, Iran will be able to build its first nuclear weapon, granting it membership of the world’s most elite club and putting it on par with Israel as the dominant forces in the Middle East.

If diplomatic efforts fail to halt Tehran, then there is only one last obstacle — the open threat by Israel to destroy Tehran’s nuclear sites before it can complete an atomic weapon.

Israel has the political will and the military muscle to execute an attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities. The range may be beyond anything attempted by the Israeli Air Force, but Iran’s conventional forces are outdated and defences weak. It is assumed that Arab states, whose airspace Israeli bombers and fighters would have to fly through to reach Iran, would secretly cooperate on a mission to blunt the Persian threat.

That is why Tehran is investing so heavily in its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah. The Shia Muslim militia has rebuilt and strengthened its arsenal since the bloody war it fought with the Israelis in 2006. It has amassed tens of thousands of rockets and missiles capable of bombarding half the country.

Israeli planners have no doubt that should they make the fateful decision to attack Iran, they will provoke massive retaliation on an unprecedented scale. The most densely populated areas of the country would come under Hezbollah range, including Tel Aviv, Haifa and Ben Gurion, Israel’s only international airport.

Israel may be able to take Iran’s queen. But in the process it could put itself into check. (UK Times, 8/5/09)

My 1991 vision of the Apocalypse started with seeing a special report of a chemical missile attack on Haifa, Israel.

Is this what is about to occur?

Robert Prechter On CNBC Today...

Elliott Wave International's Robert Prechter appeared on CNBC into a market close today that saw a 186-point slide in the DJIA. He is turning bearish on U.S. stocks.



Prechter called the bottom of the collapse in stock prices from the October 2007 high in late-February of this year as chronicled in this blog.

Now the question is: Have we passed the top of the Primary wave-2 bear market rally? And, if so, are we going to crash into October?



Here's Prechter's August 11th interview on TechTicker:

Prechter No Longer Bullish; Collapse Of Western Civilization Near?

In his early-released Elliott Wave Theorist investment letter, Robert Prechter warns his subscribers that he is no longer bullish and is looking for Primary Wave 3 down to soon get underway. He believes this is because the DJIA has now retraced a Fibonacci 38.2% of the 2007-2009 plunge in stock prices, meeting a minimum threshold for the completion of the Primary Wave 2 rebound:



As I've been highlighting in this blog, the next wave down will likely entail the collapse of Western Civilization.

Given the precipice of history at which the world stands, I'm hurrying to completion my thesis regarding the creative insanity of man. You can watch the paper progress online.

There's a possibility of global nuclear war by mid-October according to my analysis. If there's a chemical SCUD missile attack on Israel, the chance of nuclear war will become a certainty.

Obama's False Identities: Did Birthers Blunder Their Way To A Smoking Gun?

In recent weeks so-called "birthers" have garnered national attention, and loads of ridicule, for persisting in their quest to ascertain President Obama's birthplace.

The latest fiasco was the public release of a purported Kenyan birth certificate for Barack Obama that ultimately proved to be a fake. This Kenyan birth certificate had been acquired by Attorney Orly Taitz who is fighting in court for Major Stefan Frederick Cook, a soldier who is refusing a deployment order because he believes Barack Obama is not legitimately his Commander-in-Chief:



The bogus Kenyan birth registration was Exhibit A submitted with a petition for a restraining order on Major Cook's deployment.

What might be most relevant in that petition, however, was Exhibit B, a background investigation of Barack Obama by Sankey Investigations, Inc. What this exhibit shows is possible identity fraud by the current U.S. President. A record search on Barack Obama yields some 80 different addresses and 27 different social security numbers. Something that is even more suspicious given that, according to U.S. census data, there is only one Barack Obama in the nation, i.e., the President.

Notably, the one social security number that is most connected to Obama starts with the digits "042", which means the number was acquired in Connecticut, a state where Barack has never resided. In fact, Orly claims this CT social security number belongs to someone who would now be 119-years-old.

Has Barack Obama been using false identities?



If so, it would explain why he is not releasing almost all records from his past:

Original birth certificate — Not released
Obama/Dunham marriage license — Not released
Soetoro/Dunham marriage license — Not released
Soetoro adoption records — Not released
Besuki School application — Released
Punahou School records — Not released
Selective Service Registration — Released and under suspicion
Occidental College records — Not released
Passport (Pakistan) — Not released
Columbia College records — Not released
Columbia thesis — Not released
Harvard College records — Not released
Harvard Law Review articles — None (maybe 1, unsigned?)
Baptism certificate — None
Medical records — Not released
Illinois State Senate records — None
Illinois State Senate schedule — Lost
Law practice client list — Not released
University of Chicago scholarly articles — Lost

I think the President isn't likely too concerned with concealing his birthplace (although that's possibly part of his motivation)....what he may be desperately seeking to hide is his past use of aliases and incorrect social security numbers. Identity fraud is a felony and could certainly constitute grounds for impeaching a sitting U.S. President.

But why would Barack Hussein Obama have used false identities throughout his life?

Maybe it has something to do with campaign donations or some sort of money laundering schemes, e.g., involving domestic terrorist William Ayers and the associated multi-million dollar grant from the Annenburg Foundation? (Also see - NEWSMAX. Point of curiousity: Is this related to why Barack and Michelle Obama dumped their Illinois law licenses? Also, what's the story with the social security number of Obama's mother? Is ID fraud some sort of family enterprise?)

To the media, "Why don't you do some investigative reporting?":



Given Obama's highly suspicious communist background, one can not dismiss the possibility that he is a mole of some sort. If so, then America is in even greater danger than I thought.



In light of this information, the U.S. intelligence community should be checking into the background of their Commander-in-Chief to confirm he's legitimately on our side IMHO. This might be a pressing matter given that Russian subs, likely armed with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, are sitting off the East Coast for the first time since the end of the Cold War. What's more, there are signs Russia might be preparing to invade Georgia again.
