END OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

“Obama’s stealthy signing of a bill over Christmas that allows the Pentagon to indefinitely lock up American citizens accused of “terrorism” without trial has deeply alarmed many Americans. Even George W. Bush didn’t do this.”

Eric Margolis, Foreign Correspondent

Eric, like the rest of the main stream media, evidently does not think the fact the President of The United States specifically repealed the right to Habeus Corpus on the Eve of the New Year of The Lord 2012 is that important to be concerned about by his casual passing mention of it. Eric, more than most of us, would know what Military regimes with that kind of Legal authority can do to their population.

What is the N.D.A.A.?

The 2012 N.D.A.A. or National Defense Authorization Act, Sections 1021 and 1022, in short: authorizes the indefinite military detention, without charge or trial, of any person, including an American citizen, and applies the “Law of War,” to U.S. soil, making the United States legally a battlefield.

This should be shouted from the rooftops!!!  FOX News, who already sees no good in Obama, curiously, all their talking heads and spin doctors are silent on this serious development under his Watch. They are constantly look for any insignificant reason to criticize Obama and he handed them a whopper of a big reason for legitimate and necessary criticism! This fact by itself should cause people to wonder about Corporate control of the news media.

The Republican Presidential Aspirants remain silent about this attack on Democracy by President Obama as they speak nice sounding generalities the voters accept as substantial statements. Why do they remain silent about this attack on the fundamental bedrock of Democracy? The only reason can be they see this new Law establishing a Military regime under cover of Civilian rule in America as being useful if they take Power. Please! Anyone! Offer an alternative explanation or possibility with a comment.

This legal right and protection from the arbitrary whims of the ruling class in changing economic and political atmospheres has been the cornerstone of Democratic evolution since the Magna Carta of 1215. This is an extremely significant development as it portends to the Future for a global economy on the ropes with austerity and contraction on the way.

All human experience from the Past has established these kinds of economic circumstances move people to demonstrate on the streets. Anyone attempting to organize a peaceful, non violent protest could be “suspected” of being a terrorist or sympathizer and the Military will just come and grab them off the street or out of their home. The leaders of any Occupy Movement would be “suspect. ” The Military does not have to back up their “suspicions” with proof and evidence in a Civilian Court of Law. It would be a bureaucratic decision, not necessarily a Presidential one in the atmospheres of the Day.

Highlighting this contradiction of Democracy in discussions in the Washington Post, CNN and other sites, it appears to be of no concern to the people that Democracy has been repealed in America by the stroke of a pen. The masses are in a very deep sleep as they walk and talk. They have become deaf and dumb like the false gods and idols of gold, silver, brass, wood & iron they serve.

Doing this makes the American cracked Liberty Bell sound even more hallow as war increasingly is the instrument to spread American Democracy in the world to those regimes who don’t provide Democratic rights and protections to their people like the US just repealed.

WARFARE WITHOUT LIMITS: A DARKENING HUMAN HORIZON

PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND

It reminds me of the old story of when the Nazis came and took the Jews away, I paid no mind. I was not a Jew. When the Nazis came and took the gays away, I paid no mind. I was not gay. When the Nazis came and took the political opponents to those actions away, I paid no mind. I was comfortable sitting on the fence.

When the Nazis came for me………………………………………………

This is the President who came to power on the promise of closing Gitmo and this Law he signed into effect increases the logical probability there will be even more Gitmo like secret holding facilities in America few will know about except for the disappeared.

While Obama could have vetoed the Bill which he said he would out of one side of his mouth, information is now public the provision that allows the US Military to detain indefinitely anyone they “suspect” of having any connection with terrorism, is a result of his surrogates urging Congress to include the provision in Law out of the other side of his mouth. This is so extremely dangerous to any notion we have of fundamental Democratic rights and protection of the Law. There will be no civilian Judge to hear the detainee’s cries.

Obama promised not to use the extreme anti-Democratic provision of the Law he signed and now in force. What if the Republican-Christian Right get power to frame Laws and choose which ones to apply to conform America to their Christian vision according the Book and the Law? Inquisition II, anyone?

I wonder if the Harper government, who proclaims it stands on Principle so often, will take a Principled stand against the repeal of Democracy in America or remain silent for “economic benefits” to CanaDa and continues to follow the American lead? Not likely since there is increasing evidence he has no respect for Canadian Democratic traditions in CanaDa now. Only Public Pressure can make him do that if it is undertaken before it is too late.

Canadians should be more sensitive and aware of the  scenarios I see possible in this world with The President preparing the way for Military Police, Military Courts not having to meet any burden of proof or presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and Military Prisons in America.

In our not too distant Past, we saw a similar regime in Quebec with the application of The War Measures Act. People who had absolutely nothing to do with the FLQ were rounded up without justifiable reason or evidence of wrongdoing other than being sympathetic to French Quebec aspirations drowning in a sea of English. Like the Natives in the Residential Schools, they could see forces at work potentially causing them to lose their Native Language.

Long before the Global Occupy Movement, while the English media projected Quebec Nationalism to the rest of the Country in terms of Language only, Quebec saw what English CanaDa couldn’t. The majority of workers in Quebec were French speaking, but the visible minority of the Rich living in the mansions on Mount Royal were English.

We don’t even have to go that far back. Look at the power the Police had at the G20. The Police ultimately were accountable to Civilian Authority. With the legal authority President Obama gave the Military New Year Eve, the Military is accountable only to the Military stationed right on our Border.

The implementation of The War Measures Act happened in our Canadian experience in the recent Past. I can only hope there will be aware and alert Canadians standing on Guard for CanaDa for the near Future.

Honorable Members,

The following comment is posted in the Website of Eric Margolis, Foreign Correspondent.

All of you abdicate your Democratic Responsibilities to the People and The Truth if you remain silent on this extremely significant development.

We should realize the differences between CanaDa, the True North, Strong and Free if we reach for it, and our American neighbors with this new development as the War of 1812 is commemorated.

There are risks to preserving Freedom as you love to remind the people!

Citizen photo – ‘2nd Police Warning for God’s Emissary’ September 10,1977

Chris Hedges and others took the Constitutionality of this provision of the NDAA to a Federal Court and was successful in having this section overturned and declared un-Constitutional.

Chris Hedges Hails “Monumental” Ruling Blocking NDAA Indefinite Detention

The White House won’t give up. They are appealing the Court Injunction that stops the US government, at some level of bureaucratic decision, from determining that an American citizen or any individual deemed “troublesome” anywhere can just just be  grabbed off the street and Renditioned to some Gulag somewhere with no legal rights or recourse to a Lawyer or the 1 phone call whatsoever. They would just disappear and no one would know where they are!

That Lawsuit was stopped in the US Courts, and the most draconian measures in the 2012 NDAA are passed into Law, for when the circumstances of the Times arise. Looking at this World Today, it may be sooner than most People dare think!

Mainline US and Canadian media have abdicated their responsibility to the Public and the Truth by not reporting in depth on what is at stake for our common future. The people will be sprung in a trap unawares.

Years ago, Futuristic movies portrayed the possibilities of governmental Big Brother taking over clandestinely as the people remained asleep unawares to the small steps taken in small bites that will eventually remove any vestiges of Democracy as we have known it, especially the rights and protections limiting the excessive, illegal, UN-Democratic activities of our own governments.

Unfortunately,  euphoria for Chris Hedges didn’t last. The US Supreme Court wouldn’t hear the Case, and a lower Court ruling allowing the Government to keep the anti-Democratic provisions of the 2012 NDAA in effect.

BIG BROTHER IS ALREADY HERE!!!

Sunday, December 21, 2014.

This video of a speech by President Kennedy in 1961 was brought to my attention just this morning, and is more appropriate for our Times than when the President gave it.

Starting by sending a message to President Obama September 10 and a follow-up to President Carter a week later, and to the leading Female Contender to be President in 2020, Senator Elizabeth Warren on September 19.

Good Day Senator Warren,

As you prepare to do battle for the Mid-terms and 2020, I would hope you have the Political Courage to raise the issues brought to the attention of Presidents Carter and Obama in the message below.

Peace

Dear President Carter,

I was so pleased to hear you on Morning Joe Today. As I live my 75th year, it was an inspiration to me, to hear you speak so coherently on the Subject, and at your advanced age, have the presence of mind to remember the Palestinians in the brief Time the MSM gave you.

I would have liked to know your thoughts on the Trump Peace Plan, cutting off all financial aid to Palestinians, including financial support to the 3 Hospitals in East Jerusalem serving Palestinians? So much for the Trump Administration previously saying a Peace deal cannot be imposed from the outside. That brings Armageddon closer, Revelation 16:13-16 tells us is the Devil’s work, not God’s Will.

I can only hope your reflections, both the good, and mistakes that taught you a lesson, are being filmed for posterity.

In these critical Times, God willing and giving you the strength, I would like to see you having more Public exposure than MSNBC gave you, on what you see unfolding in the US and the World these Days, whether in person, or in many interviews that get air Time.

Peace. God Bless you. Live Long and Prosper!

Ray Joseph Cormier

Ottawa-Hull, CanaDa.

p.s. I sent this message to President Obama last Monday. I hope you can see what I see possible?

President Obama.

As a Canadian, I was very happy when you were elected President. I saw that as a hopeful Sign for America and the World.

You didn’t campaign to inherit the Global Financial Meltdown-Economic Pearl Harbour that happened even before you were elected, in the last months of 8 years of Republicanomics of more to the rich, and fighting Foreign Wars on borrowed money.
The Trump Republican Tax Bill they spin as ‘Reform’ is the continuation of those Bush Policies on steroids.

Watching from CanaDa, the real danger I see, is IF there is another Global Financial Collapse due to more US Economic War on more perceived enemies simultaneously than ever before in US history, complemented by tariffs on more US Allies than ever before, Americans will have to pay for all that.

Removing the few Regulations put in place after the 2008 Global Financial Meltdown-Economic Pearl Harbour to prevent a recurrence, the worst possible aspects I would expect you were briefed on at the Time, increases the likelihood what has already happened, could happen again?

Watching these things, I have to wonder if there is a method to Trump’s madness?

IF there is a sudden, unexpected Global Financial Meltdown-Economic Pearl Harbour like the last one, in the face of the Social Chaos you were warned in 2008 would happen unless you signed onto TARP, it is President Trump who could invoke the use of the worst provisions in the 2012 National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) you signed into Law.

That would make Trump, with 2 years to go, the 1st to use the Legal Authority in that 2012 NDAA to have his Bureaucracy/Military get rid of his ‘opposition’ indefinitely, detaining them in some Gitmo/Gulag, by accusing them of being vaguely associated with terrorism as determined by the Trump bureaucracy, in a Time of Social disorder.
The right to challenge the government’s ‘suspicion’ in a Court of Law is removed.
That’s a very real possibility with Trump’s temperament he has already displayed.

I always admired the High Ideals in your speeches, hoping and praying Americans would take them to heart. But I also saw you didn’t always practice what you preached. On that score, the whole human Race without exception, is guilty.

I appreciated your Grace in dealing with a Congress whose Republican Leaders Declared, even before you were sworn in, their sole goal was to destroy your Presidency, and I saw they did everything within their power to do that.
I hate seeing the Republican hypocrisy/duplicity now that the Pendulum has swung to the other side.

My deepest personal disappointment in you is, as a Constitutional Scholar, you did not VETO the 2012 NDAA even in the face of the overwhelming VETO-proof majorities in both Houses of Congress.
At least, you would have started the Real Debate on American Democracy.
Russians didn’t pass the 2012 NDAA, American Leaders did, long before Trump appeared on the scene.

Now that you have entered the Current Political debate, you can still redeem yourself, admitting you made a mistake signing the 2012 NDAA.

Peace and God Bless you!

Maybe Obama is mulling over the letter? He hasn’t been reported doing anything in Public that I have seen since my message via the embedded email on his Website

I don’t expect replies. It did take 2 weeks to get this email from The Terminator.

Thank you for taking the time to send me your kind words of support.
Your encouragement gave me a big boost, and it reminds me that we
are moving in the right direction.

I am working hard to improve California’s future and make progress
in a difficult budget year. We’ve tackled politically risky things that
no one wanted to touch in the past, and to me, that’s progress.
We now have the potential to make a positive difference in the lives of
future generations by confronting problems that have been put off for
many years: building up our infrastructure, reforming health care and
education, and finally fixing our broken budget system.

Again, thank you for your kind words of encouragement.

DAY OF AWAKENING – DAVID vs GOLIATH vs ARMAGEDDON

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

On January 31, 1975 in my 31st Year, I quit my position printed on my Business Card reading, “National Marketing Representative, Mining Division, Dominion Engineering Works ltd. of Montreal, without having secured another Position. DEW was so big, they poured steel in their metal foundry. I was hired a year earlier to sell Ball Mills to Mining Industries, essential in separating the desired mineral from the rock on a massive conveyor belt scale. They were VERY EXPENSIVE costing over $100,000 in 1974 Dollars.

I soon realized I was misled about the Position. It was nothing like the Title on my DEW Business Card. I learned a Canadian or American Mining company would not open a new Mine in CanaDa when the cost of Labour was $30/hr + in salary and Benefits to operate, not including the cost of the necessary expensive equipment to start a new Mine. This was before US-CanaDa Free Trade, NAFTA – North American Free Trade, and Globalization of the Economy. It was much cheaper and much more profitable for Business to go to the 3rd World and pay the workers $2/hr with NO Benefits.

It turned out I was hired to prepare Sales Proposals and Production Scheduling within the Plant. I did not sign up for that! The Export Marketing Representative was flying all over the World. Business was booming for the 3rd World Countries.

Recognizing if this was happening in such a primary manufacturing industry, other manufacturing industries would go the same route causing great disruptions in our system.

I hated the job and it showed by my lack of interest and quit!

The next Day, February 1, 1975 was an extra-ordinary, extra special Day for me. To use the commonly known phrase, It was to my great surprise and awesome wonder I was “BORN AGAIN” that Day by the Spirit. To me, it was a clear delineation in my personal Life BC and AD. I didn’t know it then but now I know God chose me to be one of God’s Chosen in these Times. The Chosen People of ancient Biblical History are dead and gone. The Living God is choosing People all over the World to be effective Representatives in Today’s World.

Though my body is 78, Spiritually for me, I live in the Year of the Lord 37 AD learning the Ways of The Christ Spirit for these Days, while the World of Business operates in this Year of The Lord 2022.

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 1

I was born May 21, 1944, making me a Gemini according to the Flesh, but born again February 1, 1975 making me Aquarius according to the Spirit. Up to that Day I was like the majority of the People. Self-seeking, materialistic, earth bound. Sexual fantasies, money and things pulled my strings.

I never thought about God. I made no room or Time for God in my Life, in my thoughts, in my Reality. God did not exist to me in my self-centred life. I did not go to church and the only time I talked with believers was when Jehovah Witnesses or Mormon Missionaries knocked on my door. Even so, I always had a decent respect for all others whose path in Life crossed with mine.

I was already upbeat since I was going to seal the deal to take possession of a 5 room Dream apartment in the heart of Montreal decorated by a French Canadian artist that was well laid out with large rooms and really beautifully furnished. Moving to Quebec City, he was turning over the apartment with artwork and furnishings for $1000. The rent in 1975 was $69 a month plus oil heat and hydro in downtown Montreal.

Arriving with a wealthy Jewish friend to make the final arrangements, after taking care of business, we got into an intense discussion of Society, Morality, Politics and Religion. In other words, the Human Condition, Life and Death, War and Peace on Planet Earth.

I was sitting back listening to them passionately go at it, when at a certain point, it was as if a veil was removed from my eyes, and with the sound of rushing water, within myself I felt and thought, ‘God! You’re alive! You exist! You really exist!’ In a Spiritual sense of another dimension, I came alive to God or God came alive to me that Day. From that moment on, I began communion with God and Christ in me. Because I did not understand exactly what was happening, I said nothing to the others who did not have the same experience.

I had experienced much in my life but never anything like this. At 24, in 1968 dollars I was making $25,000. This bought me the stuff that costs $215,000 in Today’s dollars. At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. John 14:20

What I didn’t know then, was there was a long period of time preparing the ground for me to Spiritually, Mentally, Emotionally and Socially accept the God of Abraham still Lives!

Part of that preparation I understood only with the benefit of hindsight can be seen here:

Over many years I moved to several neighbourhoods in Montreal, but could never get any apartment together, always remaining an unfinished work with no progress once I got comfortable. This apartment and furnishing was beautiful. My wealthy Jewish friend who lived in an expensive apartment on the slope of Mount Royal said he was jealous.

Later that evening, I was with another group of friends and did not tell them about the change now starting to take root within me. We were joined by another friend who was also a promising artist, not the one turning over his apartment to me earlier in the Day. Three months earlier, to encourage him, I asked him to do my portrait and paid him a deposit. He arrived with the finished work that evening not knowing what happened to me earlier.

While I was expecting a conventional portrait, I was surprised when he presented me with the portrait you see above. The image above is a reduced size photo copy of a full size photo copy of the original artwork. It was done in pencil and did not have the Canadian Coat of Arms on the Shield which I added later.

A thief stole the original drawing in a break & enter to my apartment and it is probably hanging on some wall in Ottawa.

Again I emphasize, no one knew the new feelings that came alive in me earlier that Day. It is said art is in the eye of the beholder and as I questioned the artist I said these words: “Dave, that’s a jock looking type of image. I wish my body looked that good.” Pointing to the shield I asked, “Is that a cowboy hat?” He answered, “No. It’s not that. That’s a shield and that’s a slingshot. You know. Like David and Goliath” Imagine my surprise and wonder as he laid those words on my ears, not knowing what was happening inside me. I didn’t fully know what was happening inside me. Examining it further, I noticed the the car, the symbol of the driving force of the economy and the license plate with the D between the legs. I asked Dave if the D was for his signature. He answered, “No. It’s not that. It could be Death. It could be Divinity. I have no idea.” Again, I had to wonder what all this meant and how could I make sense of it all? It was the sense of Timing that was amazing. Studying the drawing further, I reasoned since a headless body could not stand. To me it symbolized God of the Universe being the Head of the Body.

The automobile, the engine of the economy, is at a cliff with no place else to go, much as the Global economy has arrived at the point of stagnation requiring radical change. The bare veins of the Canadian Maple Leaf, the unfinished Canadian Mosaic, represents the theme in my earlier article ‘CanaDa.’

The head in the stump represents the earth bound man oblivious to what the Spirit is doing and the Signs of the Times.

At home later that night, I was experiencing the most sublime feelings of Peace, Joy, and Liberation. I was crying with Gratitude on the thoughts GOD IS, thinking, ‘God I don’t know what you’re doing with me, but whatever it is, keep on doing it. I love it! I love you! At the instant of those thoughts, a radio broadcast started with the words, “NOW that you’re a Christian, your work is just beginning.”

Even though it was a multi year struggle for me to finally have an apartment that would impress and make any visitor feel comfortable, I gave it up 7 months later on September 1, 1975, and with shoulder length hair, beard, and backpack on my back, entered the United States to discover more of God, and the Spirit of ’76.

The US Authorities would have never known about me had I not become highly visible at the 1976 Republican National Convention in Kansas City. The Secret Service called out of a compressed crowd of delirious Republicans looking up to the Secret Service restricted Mezzanine with the podium of the President set up expecting the President of the United States to be standing there any minute.

To my surprise and wonder, the SS Agent led me to the Podium of The President of The United States, questioning me in full view of the crowd below in the Lobby of the Crown Center Hotel in Kansas City. With my shoulder length hair, beard and #13 football jersey, waving to all those Republicans below and the TV networks broadcasting live, it was an unusual image for anyone to be standing at The President’s podium as Americans were celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the 1776 Revolution. 

Having hitch hiked through 45 States over 15 months, when I got to Kansas City, after the Republicans left town, I was a guest on a phone in Radio Talk show about a dozen times, was interviewed on TV, and The Kansas City Times published 2 newspaper reports on my presence in the City, the 1st on September 13, with a follow up on ALL SOULS DAY, November 2. Because of that high visibility, I was arrested as an ALIEN for deportation from Kansas City in December 1976 back to CanaDa.  (you are in the world, but not of the world – an ALIEN – John 17:14-16) I convinced the authorities to allow me to leave on my own without formal deportation, but having to report to US Customs before exiting the US and returning home to CanaDa.

It turned out to my good fortune and Blessing I met someone by chance driving to upper New York State not that far from home in Montreal. He had a spare ticket for the Eagles Concert at the Kemper Arena and we flew away right after the show. I have not visited the US since then.

Even though it is 42 years later, I am still trying to make sense of it all in a David vs Goliath struggle to prevent the coming Armageddon starting with Israel escalating in the explosive Middle East,in a world where people don’t pay attention, don’t care and don’t give a damn.

I have come full circle. That Dream apartment in 1975 was on Hotel De Ville Street in the heart of downtown Montreal close to Sherbrooke Street and St. Laurent Blvd., the dividing line between East and West.

The Executive Personnel Agency who always found me a better position at better pay everytime I was in the Job referred me for many excellent positions but because my Spiritual Awakening was the most important thing to happen to me in my Life, I talked about it during Job interviews. One person was so interested asking me many questions, I left that Interview thinking I was hired. Calling the Personnel Agency the next Day, my Contact asked, “WHAT HAPPENED?” “What do you mean, what happened? Didn’t I get the job, I asked?” No was direct. Asking what the man said, my Contact told me the Interviewer said these words, “I don’t know what that guy was high on, but I sure wish I had some!”

Today, I live on Hotel De Ville Street in downtown Hull and it’s still a Dream apartment. I’m paying $566/month for a large well laid out 1 bedroom downtown apartment, heated, with a parking space. Smaller apartments on my Block are now going for $1300/month with electric heat extra. It’s perfect for me, having so many reasons to thank God for something every Day. For transparency, I lived in this apartment for 2 years in 2006 before I thought of the connection with that Dream apartment I gave up on Hotel de Ville in Montreal in 1975. I thank God that DREAM apartment I gave up in 1975 was being saved for me by God.

In this Year of the Lord 2024, I have a Dream apartment costing $566/month to this Day, enabling me to survive with no stress as rents are a nightmare for so many people these Days, able to live on my Old Age pension of $1883/month.

The LORD IS my Shepherd. I shall not want. Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the Days of my Life and I will dwell in the House of The LORD forever.

And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the thieves, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; they don’t know what they are doing. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.        

Matthew 27:38

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

THE ARMAGEDDON GENERATION

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.(false beliefs about God in Judaism, Christianity & Islam. written some 500 years before Islam, the 3rd arm from the Jewish religious record appeared)
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth (the 1%, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, and other Idols of the People) and of the whole world, (the rest of Humanity) to gather them to the battle of that Great Day of God Almighty. (the war is already underway between Judaism, Christianity and Islam leading to the climax of that Great Day)
Behold, I come as a thief. (when you least expect it)
Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
 

Armageddon was derived from Har Megiddo, located in Judea and Samaria of occupied Palestine 2000 years ago. Israel as a kingdom disappeared some 800 years before Jesus walked in that area during the occupation.

Har Megiddo/Armageddon still exists as a physical place in this material world, but is now under the control of temporal Israel re-created from the Bible after an absence of some 2800 years. After all those years, the occupation of Judea and Samaria in Palestine is still an unresolved, violent, open wound in the Middle East and this material world.

   Revelation 16:13-16

Armageddon, which even the most extreme Atheist understands to be the horrific final Battle of the Nations, is a 2000 year old term from the Bible. For those who have eyes to see, Armageddon is taking shape on the horizon developing around temporal Israel recreated from the Bible in this real, non-religious world Today.  Those thinking the Bible is a myth and dismissing it so easily should take a 2nd closer look.

People from 158 Countries have found this Blog and I would estimate 98% were not looking for it, finding it in the results for an increasing number of various search terms through Google or some other search engine. Most people are looking for images of Angels, Armageddon & CanaDa.

The Statistics for the Blog are very revealing as to people’s interests and habits. They tell me which newspaper records are expanded to be able to read, and which pictures people look at in the 80 articles posted to date. Most of the people finding this Blog did not expect to see this world’s current secular political-economic-military realities described in a real world Spiritual-Religious Framework.

Unfortunately, most people just glance and skim, but that’s the way the people are these days. They don’t like to read unless it confirms or affirms their preconceived notions. They prefer to take their information from 30 second sound bytes on  TV, or escape from even thinking about the dire straights the world is in that will effect every human on earth.

Money, Sex, Drugs, Booze, Gambling, Sports & Video Games are the greatest escape for a large segment of our population feeling powerless to change anything, including themselves, and oblivious to the Present Danger hanging over all our heads.

A PRESENT DANGER

 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walks in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
A people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick; Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

Which say, Stand by yourself, do not come near to me; for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.

Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.   

Isaiah 65

The following video is the 1st of 9 parts. This is scary stuff so far removed from any reality we have experienced to date.

You don’t have to believe in God to know such scenarios are possible. You don’t have to read the Bible to know this. The TV news is making more people aware Armageddon is shimmering on the horizon, increasingly projecting the word or variations of it to describe many real world situations. The many 2012  type movies subliminally project end times themes to those who don’t follow the news.

The world knows or should know Israel is straining to launch a preemptive 1st strike on Iran starting the war in “self-defence,” the 1st step on the irreversible Road to Armageddon once that happens.

For those interested in watching the whole program, the next part can be viewed at the end of each segment.

Armageddon the word is mentioned only once in the Bible, but since the economic meltdown/Pearl Harbour/tsunami of 2008, the word or variations of it have been broadcast worldwide by the mainline news media along with similar words like doomsday and the abyss.

The fact words like these are now floating in the air may be THE LAST SIGN AND WARNING to the people of the Earth. It is in the self-interest of everyone, great and small, to become vigilant, watch and weigh, so you will not be taken by surprise.

As part of my CV, in 1963, I was a labourer for The Foundation Company of Canada on the Distant Early Warning Line in the Canadian Arctic before spy satellites existed. For those who expand and read any the many newspaper reports chronicling my Mission of Faith in Almighty God spread over many years inserted in this Blog, it is obvious the Foundation is laid, but the Line is no longer Distant and it is getting Late.

What about the event of Armageddon? Most people are not aware Armageddon the word, is derived from Har Mediggo, an actual place in Israel, the epicentre of the Jewish/Palestinian conflict. When Armageddon was introduced into the human psyche 2000 years ago, Har Mediggo was located in the Roman Province of Palestine. The conflict has very deep roots.

Armageddon the Biblical prophecy would be impossible to fulfill until the recreation of the temporal State of Israel from the Bible in 1948.

While the shock and awe of the Gaza war has receded from world consciousness and the front burner of media attention, the war continues below the radar, just simmering until the next explosive event.

Now that the US has already delivered the big bunker busting bombs to Israel, and Israel straining at the bit to use them and start a war with Iran in “self-defence,” the prospect of that leading to Armageddon is very real Today more than ever before this Generation. If we ignore that threat to our existence and way of living, we will deserve it if it comes.

There are too many news reports to ignore. The US & Israel, supported by England, CanaDa and the West, is already conducting a covert, undeclared war on Iran with targeted assassinations of their nuclear scientists, cyber war, sabotage and now economic warfare.  These facts, already in the Public Domain, are calculated to try Iranian patience to the limit and push them into taking some kind of retaliatory action to show how bad they are our governments and media will propagate. We ignore this at our own peril.

Iran and Israel: Comparing military machines

THE NUCLEAR QUESTION? IRAN – DIFFERENT FROM THE REST?

IF Armageddon the event happens, it is starting over there now, building to the climax, where two peoples with different cultures,  both religious descendants of Abraham, are fighting as families do, over the inheritance God promised his children.

My personal reference Bible, printed in 1855, is the same Edition on which Presidents Lincoln and Obama took their Oath of Office. The verse of Revelation above comes from it.

It goes on to list anything that could be bought or sold from the limited items available in those days 2000 years ago, and by extrapolation, everything the Global economy produces Today. Is the buying and selling of the merchandise we all use religious or non-religious?

The G8, the G20, the Presidents and Prime Ministers all see this on the way and are trying to find a money solution. They don’t realize it’s a Spiritual problem

It is firmly established everybody was taken by surprise by the Financial Meltdown-Economic Pearl Harbour-Tsunami of 2008, as the Global economy suddenly went into a free fall. The politicians and economic experts were stunned. No one saw it coming! The Writing Was On The Wall and the whole world could see it for the 1st Time at the same Time.

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Revelation 18: 11-13

Are those words in the BIBLE, with all their implications, primarily religious?                      Are they Secular-Atheist-Materialist?

Or do they tell us existence and being in this MATERIAL world is all inclusive, that every aspect of our individual being, Day by Day, is only a small part of the much greater whole?

It is up to each and every Individual to make up their own mind on that. At the end of this fleshy, material Existence, for the short time humans have on earth, the bodies of both believers and non believers go to the grave.

In our Flesh bodies, we will all die one way or another and if there was no chemical embalming, we will all return to the dust of the earth quickly, the very dirt from where the food that keeps humans alive comes from.

Only those flesh beings who have invited the Eternal to live in their hearts, minds and bodies, will see the Eternal Spirit working in their lives Day by Day, knowing at the End of the world for Individuals, and possibly the larger world, as everyone can see the powers of this material world are talking War talk, their Spirit will be returned to the Eternal who gave it. The rest of the flesh ceases to exist forever.

How can the Finite Human Mind reason with The Eternal? Obviously, Fundamentally, Logically, with Patience, Respect, and Reverence. We all have to live with our own thoughts 24/7. Either we are at Peace with them, or troubled, angry and disturbed with them.

It’s been 2000 years since The Eternal revealed the Way in the flesh body of Jesus, The Christ Alpha, to achieve Peace on Earth and bring the Joy and Plenty of the kingdom of Heaven to the world. Bringing the Promised Land to those individuals who HAVE FAITH and Love God Loving others no matter where on the land of earth they live, even if the others around them don’t see it.

As to Jesus, in whom the Spirit of Christ Alpha 1st became known to this world, being fully fleshy human like you, me and everyone on earth TODAY, Christ Omega makes this invitational offer to all humans in the Flesh Today;

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and AM set down with my Father in his throne. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Do you have what it takes to overcome, as Jesus himself, in the flesh had to?

Blessed are the Peace Makers, for they shall be called The Children of God.

Then where do the War Makers come from? That is explained in the opening words at the top of this report.

The world leaders, who thought they had power, were terrified when the traditional levers of power were powerless to stop the drastic fall on a slippery slope to chaos as they stared into the abyss for the first time with the 2008 Global Financial meltdown.

Imagine, in a matter of months, the economy and distribution of goods and services just stopped and millions upon millions of people were without jobs, money, or daily necessities taking to the streets with so many guns in the private hands of the public. These are the very fertile grounds that give rise to power and authority for Dictatorships. It is happening now, before the eyes of those who have the eyes to see.

Current government stimulus plans have temporarily slowed down that free fall, but in Truth, they should be renamed Transition plans as it is impossible to go back to the 2600 year old Imperial Babylonian economic system that has been the framework and model for Empires and Nations to this Day.  It is the end of the road for that system of value.

If we dare to face the Future together united as One in purpose, it need not come to Armageddon or the End of the World.

When the Revelation was given 2000 years ago, the writer could not imagine how important the Islamic Middle East with it’s oil would become to all the kings of the earth in our Times.

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them   WHO SHALL BE heirs of  salvation?       

Hebrews 1:13-14

The dragon wants to see humans destroyed because God gave greater honour to Jesus being fully human, than to the Angels. Lucifer/Satan, the Angel of Light, rebelled against the God of Heaven and the commandment the Angels should serve the humans who are TO BECOME the Heirs of Salvation. Those Angels thought they were superior and should not serve the inferior, an attitude many humans have  Today towards other humans with whom we must share the resources of this finite planet.

The Beast is government of men, opposed and inverse to government of God.

IMAGE OF THE BEAST

The false prophet? The inheritance is given to Abraham and his Spiritual descendents when there was no Jewish, Christian or Islamic religion. All three man made, ritual, traditional religions to the God of Abraham – Judaism, Christianity & Islam – are deceived by the false prophet or the world would not be on the Road to Armageddon.

It is not just a co-incidence that after 2000 years, with Empires and Nations rising and falling, Jerusalem, where Christ was crucified, is at the center of it all. The Roman Governor gave the people a choice? Who do you want? Jesus or the violent insurrectionist, Barabbas? The people chose a terrorist over Jesus, so what can we expect?

Wake up, People! WE can OVERCOME! The End of the 2600 Babylonian Political, Military & Economic system of this world is crumbling before our very eyes. We can ignore it and let it go to the very worst end – Armageddon – or we can change our ways that are leading us to it. The end of that system is inevitable and can’t be stopped. The End of that world is necessary before we can see the New World ahead of us.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, NEW JERUSALEM, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that OVERCOMES shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second  death.                                                                      Revelation 21

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with me.
To him that OVERCOMES will I grant to SIT WITH ME IN MY THRONE, even as I ALSO OVERCAME, and AM SET DOWN WITH MY FATHER in his throne.
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.Revelation 3


You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink;

You can lead a person to Knowledge, but you can’t make them think!
