Fear
As I've often said in the past, one of the Enemy's principal weapons has always been fear. If he can terrify men and women and put them in fear of their lives, then as he said in the book of Job, "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4). When the men and women of the world fear catastrophe, they generally look to their governments to save them rather than the Lord, sad to say. So what happens? Governments gain more control and power, the rich and the powerful grow even more rich and powerful, and the Enemy's plan of strengthening the very institutions he'll someday use for ultimate power and control under his One World government is.

Earthquake rocks Bay Area
University responds to 5.6 magnitude quake; no damage reported on campus
October 31, 2007

Cristina Bautista A 5.6 magnitude earthquake shook the Bay Area shortly after 8 p.m. last night. The quake - the largest in the region since the 6.9 magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake killed more than 60 people in 1989 - originated near San Jose and sent shock waves rippling across campus as University officials quickly launched emergency management protocols. There was no damage reported on campus and only minor damage reported in San Jose.
The quake — whose epicenter was in the Diablo Range foothills nine miles northeast of San Jose — set in motion a series of events dictated by the University’s emergency management protocols.“Very shortly after the earthquake was felt, the

Are you prepared, or have our own warnings to be ready for emergencies fallen on deaf ears? Don't put it off until you have more time. You'll never have more time in a day than you have right now, today--24 hours. Where the rub comes in is just how you choose to use that time.
You're not as prepared as you should have been or could have been if and when disaster strikes, you'll only have yourselves to blame.
You don't have to do a big earthquake prep push, although you can if you want to. Just do a little every week, surely and steadily buying little extra food, setting aside some jugs of water, getting some extra flashlights or camping gear or survival supplies, or spending a little time discussing some contingency plans. Do something, and keep doing something, and almost before you know it, you will be prepared!

A friend's choice: the lasting impact of abortion
Abstract:
If you were to get pregnant today, within 24 weeks you could feel your baby kick, watch your uterus expand and even go into labor.
And according to California state law, you could also obtain an abortion up to 24 weeks into your pregnancy.
I'm not going to tell you that a 24-week old fetus should be considered a human....

Ted Rudow III,MA What is more valuable human rights or animal rights? An unborn eagle or an unborn child? If you chose the unborn child, sorry you are wrong--at least accounting to the law of the land. U.S Code Title 16 section 668, the eagle takes precedence. A person who kills, damgages,tranports a bald eagle, its egg, or nest is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up one year or both(first offense).Whereas, not only is there no penalty for aborting an unborn child?
A mass massacre of babies is going on in the U.S. today, not to mention Europe, the Soviet Union and many other places. One-and-a-half million abortions a year are performed in the U.S. alone, and it's estimated that one out of every four pregnancies ends in abortion! What a horrible slaughter!!
I don't think I've ever seen a sign saying "Save the Babies," have you? I've seen "Stop the Killings!" and things like that. They're always saying, "Save the Whales," "Save the Otters," "Save the Alligators," "Save the Wolves," and they're not even saving their own babies--human beings!
The Americans alone are now killing more babies every year than have been killed in all their wars that they have ever fought! What's the difference between killing babies before they're born or killing them after they are born. The almanac says that from the American Revolutionary War to the present, only 1.2 million Americans have died in battle, and they're killing 1.5 million babies every year!--Imagine!

"Today, many of the men who hope to be the next president - including all of the candidates with a significant chance of receiving the Republican nomination -

have made unreasoning, unjustified terror the centerpiece of their campaigns. Consider, for a moment, the implications of the fact that Rudy Giuliani is taking foreign policy advice from Norman Podhoretz, who wants us to start bombing Iran "as soon as it is logistically possible."--
Paul Krugman
Politicians are expert liars, because they make their living by telling people what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. Otherwise, they wouldn't get elected-at least in the U.S.(HA) And once they do get elected, especially when they rise as far as the presidency, they just continue to lie-it becomes a habit with them.
Politics is an evil game in which all the players are vying for control. They don't care about the poor people who'll get hurt as long as they get what they want. Nothing they do is for honest and pure reasons. They'll tell the true tale of man's inhumanity to his fellow man, and all those who take part in such atrocities.

"America's policy in the Middle East ignores basic facts"
October 24, 2007
The more "democratic" another nation is, after all, the closer the rich and the powerful can work together, the greater the pickings and the booty available, and the less controls there are on their actions. The rich can grow richer and the poor can grow poorer because, after all, the rich think, it's the survival of the fittest.
American presidents can be a very bloodthirsty lot, as well as terrific liars when it comes to getting their way, while they criticize other world leaders who commit similar crimes. They have to account for their actions, or their war crimes, no matter how they may try to justify them.

Trudy Rubin: On the brink of a blunder in Iran?
Friday, October 26, 2007
WWIII?
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice singled out Iran Wednesday as "perhaps the single greatest challenge" to US security but stressed that diplomacy was the preferred way to end its nuclear drive. President George W. Bush last week warned that a nuclear-armed Iran meant the threat of "World War III," and Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday spoke of "serious consequences" unless the Islamic Republic gives in. It is written, 'Thou shalt not kill' and 'Thou shalt not bear false witness.' The leaders of America are doing both, and most of them know this. It is also written, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house or anything that is thy neighbor's," or as concerning this war, "thy neighbor's oil" which the leaders of America also have their eyes upon. Of course, they know they have to be careful about this, so that there is not such an outcry from other nations. In their greed and lust for more power and control of the oil, they have perpetrated war.

Burning Down the House: Keep on rockin' in the free world
October 26, 2007
By Gabe Winant
"But we’re not an entirely single-minded people, Americans. We’ve been known to do one thing, and sanctimoniously vote for another. This is why Bush claims his favorite song is the Everly Brothers’ “Wake Up Little Susie.” Recorded, of course, in 1957, it’s about a couple that goes on a date to a movie, only to fall asleep and worry about the scandal of getting home so late. It’s perfect, right up to the diminutive epithet attached to Susie’s name. Conservatives have spent the decades since Woodstock campaigning against rock and roll and the era of social change that it symbolized. Nixon’s vice president, Spiro Agnew, used to joke about “acid, amnesty and abortion” as the Democratic platform, and Reagan kicked off his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Miss., site of the murder of three Freedom Summer civil rights workers. Why do you think the modern Republican mind is fixated on Hillary Clinton?"
Ted Rudow III,MA -In 1969, Nitler and his Nitzies began to crush their youthful rebellion by the most fiendish, brutal, violent and repressive police power ever seen used in America against its own citizens and its own children since the days of the horrible slaughter of the Civil War of just 100 years before!
The student were cruelly beated, maimed and shot to death on their own campuses and as well as in the jails by the very parents who should have protected them and helped them to change the world! Draft deferments were canceled and America's young men were placed in military concentration camps--or in prison if they refused to go and fight their parents' murderous wars!
They managed to fool and lull the American public to sleep with a false sense of security and a don't-rock-the-boat-attitude. If the general American public now permit their dirty-dealing President to get away with his illegal, underhanded crimes and criminal obstructions of justice and suppressions of the truth,I belived that all hope is lost.

Mrs. President? Maybe
Abstract:
I cannot say that I know much about politics or that I have the experience to run this country, but there is someone who can.
Hillary Clinton, New York senator and former first lady, is no stranger to a life of politics and a presence in the public eye.
She currently leads the Democratic nominees with a majority of at least 48 percent, according to polls taken by FOX News and CNN, as well as the LA Times/Bloomberg and the USA Today/Gallup polls....

Left Coast: An effective response to SoCal wildfires
October 25, 2007
By Kai Stinchcombe
"I drove down to Los Angeles Monday night with my girlfriend to report on the wild fires that have been raging this week in Southern California. --
-----There is always more to do, but we should pause for a moment and thank ourselves for making these investments. California has a well trained, high-morale, professional firefighting force and the physical infrastructure to support these firefighters. Our police departments are well staffed and have the equipment they need. We have competent administrative agencies that can coordinate a disaster response, prepare plans in advance and work together smoothly.
It’s easy to complain about the high and numerous taxes in California. But looking at the response to this disaster, it seems our tax dollars have been put to good use. This was a time when we needed our government, and our government — in the form of the brave fire fighters and police officers still battling the fires — has followed through."

As I've often said in the past, one of the Enemy's principal weapons has always been fear. If he can terrify men and women and put them in fear of their lives, then as he said in the book of Job, "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4).
When the men and women of the world fear catastrophe, they generally look to their governments to save them rather than the Lord, sad to say. So what happens? Governments gain more control and power, the rich and the powerful grow even more rich and powerful, and the Enemy's plan of strengthening the very institutions he'll someday use for ultimate power and control under his One World government is.

Mrs. President? Maybe
Abstract:
I cannot say that I know much about politics or that I have the experience to run this country, but there is someone who can.
Hillary Clinton, New York senator and former first lady, is no stranger to a life of politics and a presence in the public eye.
She currently leads the Democratic nominees with a majority of at least 48 percent, according to polls taken by FOX News and CNN, as well as the LA Times/Bloomberg and the USA Today/Gallup polls....

Ted Rudow III,MA 10/25/07 Hillary Clinton's strong beliefs have been exposed in various publications. She's on the wrong side of everything. She's for abortion; she's for gay rights; she's against home schooling; she's for children's rights against their parents; and she's for children suing their parents, and on down the line. Before William Branham died, that great and humble prophet, one of the last revelations and visions he had was that the final ruler of the United States, who would bring the United States to its doom and would be the worst ruler they ever had, would be a very beautiful but very cruel woman.

Left Coast: An effective response to SoCal wildfires
October 25, 2007
By Kai Stinchcombe
"I drove down to Los Angeles Monday night with my girlfriend to report on the wild fires that have been raging this week in Southern California. --
-----There is always more to do, but we should pause for a moment and thank ourselves for making these investments. California has a well trained, high-morale, professional firefighting force and the physical infrastructure to support these firefighters. Our police departments are well staffed and have the equipment they need. We have competent administrative agencies that can coordinate a disaster response, prepare plans in advance and work together smoothly.
It’s easy to complain about the high and numerous taxes in California. But looking at the response to this disaster, it seems our tax dollars have been put to good use. This was a time when we needed our government, and our government — in the form of the brave fire fighters and police officers still battling the fires — has followed through."

Cartoonist Rex Babin: Still standing
Fires
Only God knows in his wisdom just exactly why he takes so many in a natural disaster, but it's apparently their time. Even Christians, theologians and church leaders have to face the question: Why does God destroy so many people? Death is not a curse for little children, the innocent, the poor, the suffering, the less responsible, less accountable.Death is not a curse for them, because they go to a better world, a better life, a relief from the evils of this horrible planet and so death's a blessing. So perhaps this is why the Lord allows so many of the poor, and the young to die those who are suffering almost beyond endurance in this life. Therefore, the Lord takes them out of their suffering, out of their poverty, out of their pain, out of their starvation. He blesses them with death which to those upon whom he has such mercy is a mere gateway, a doorway, an entrance to a better life in which they'll be relieved of all this.

Center of policy
"The Office of the Vice President has transformed itself into a free republic's worst nightmare, assuming Caesar-like dictatorial authority over almost every aspect of American national security policy at home and abroad. From torture to illegal wiretapping, to arms control (or lack of it) to Iran, Dick Cheney is the undisputed center of policy power in America today." Scott Ritter He is a man of oppression. He became a common joke. But he's no joke. Draw a mustache on him and you see what he really is, who he really is, in his heart.

Ted Rudow III,MA Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday warned against military action against Iran and backed its right to nuclear energy, during the first visit to this country by a Kremlin chief since World War II.
The Arab-Israeli war, Iraq war and all other conflicts can be ended and a final agreement reached on the Arab lands and an international pact made concerning the city of Jerusalem. Because Arab patience has reached its limits with Israeli refusal to abide by the unenforced UN Resolution No.242 in which virtually the whole world, including America, agreed that Israel should withdraw from Arab lands.
Because of totally irreconcilable differences between selfish American and Israeli interests and those of the rest of the World a peaceful settlement is utterly impossible, and an armed invasion and conquest by Russia and supporting powers is inevitable. Any major invasion force would have to be permitted to pass through either Turkey or Iran or both, as well as Iraq and Syria .
God himself describes this invasion of Israel,and says it will come from the North led by Russia with the help of Europe, Libya, Turkey, Persia and Ethiopia.That's what it says in the Bible(see Ezekiel 38 and 38 and Daniel 11).

SF Halloween party off, options limited
October 23, 2007
By Salone Kapur
"The Halloween Party started in the 1950s as a costume party for children, and steadily grew from a party for the city’s gay community and their families into an attraction for people from all over the Bay Area. Over the years, moving the famed Castro party has been subject to annual discussion as violence has increasingly defined the event. Drawing large and wild, inebriated crowds, the party has been marred by violence and hate-speech against the gay community, culminating in the stabbing of four revelers in 2002. The last straw came last year when a gunman opened fire and shot nine people, including innocent bystanders.---"
Ted Rudow III,MA
The true name of Halloween is "Samhain." This was the Celtic Lord of the Dead! For 3 days from Oct 29-31, the Celtic people, along with their priestly class called Druids, would hold an ancient rite which would mark the beginning and the end of the year.
Usually a week before the rites of Samhain began, the Druid had ordered the people of the Celtic tribe to disperse throughout the countryside and gather thousands of wicker reed.This is a very strong and durable stick. Wicker furniture has been made from it and most of us are familiar with it.
They would then construct a giant human effigy that would stand from 30 to 50 feet, as the Wicker Man. Many cages had been built within it. Each prisoner would be tied to one of the cages. Then the Druids began their idea of fun and games.
Yet, I have seen many Christian churches throughout this nation hold Halloween Parties within the church building. Every single one of these things is directly from the celebration of Samhain. You are simply trying to turn something evil into something good! Isaiah 5:20. We pray this helps you to NOT be a partaker of this "holiday.

Ted Rudow III,MA At the same time, dirty water is the second-leading cause of death among children globally, after respiratory infections. It kills 1.8 million children younger than 5 each year, more than do HIV/AIDS, malaria, war or traffic accidents, says the U.N. report.
The governments of the world are so stupid! Many poor people today live just like poor people lived 2,000 years ago, barely scratching out a living and hauling water from a nearby river or well, while their governments spend millions or billions on weapons of war. It's such a ridiculous waste! Thank the Lord, He's going to set things right when He returns and put an end to war and war-mongering politicians and wasteful governments! In the meantime, the state of the world shows what happens when man tries to run it himself, and what a mess he makes of it!

"New IMF, World bank chiefs face task of restoring credibility"
October15, 2007
The industry's size-hedge funds contain over $1.5 trillion and the impact of the funds' trading strategies on securities markets and on company operations has prompted regulators around the world to investigate the industry. The securities and exchange commission recently promulgated a limited package of new rules, effective on February 1 of this year.
SEC lists as one of its primary reasons for its new hedge fund regulations, a number of troubling incidences of fraud perpetrated by hedge fund operators. People who are suspicious of " get-rich-quick, guaranteed" come-on pitches believe that hedge funds may be duping their own investors with false promises of easy money.
Colleges such as the college of Wooster in Ohio have over 80 percent of their entire endowment in hedge funds, to the consternation of some of their alumni who wonder whether the college officials are overmatched when responding to hedge fund solicitations. The more money it has made, the more it has borrowed, and the harder and more devastating the fall will be in the end. There is a crash coming, no matter how often the feel-good economists predict that all things will continue as they are, just because they have been for the last several decades.

Burning Down the House: He is the walrus
October 19, 2007
By Gabe Winant
"So, on Saturday morning, we heard that the Middle East is a gas station with antisemitism and domestic-abuse problems, and that our economy is a monster truck with a stuck gas pedal and a lost key, among other things. Neither of these points is even actually wrong, though the metaphors don’t really scan. Further, Friedman appears, theatrically dropping his voice to a whisper, to have just discovered them.--For example, he notes — I think correctly — that radical Islamic terrorism is the result of years of American-sanctioned political repression in the Islamic world. Friedman’s solution to Arab resentment of the American-backed political regime? American invasion. To sum up: Friedman is smart enough to understand that Arabs, like everyone else, want their human and civil rights, and that they’re pissed that we are complicit in denying them these rights. ---"

The Bush administration is approaching its last year in the White House. As the clock ticks toward 2008, speculation grows over whether President Bushand Vice President Dick Cheney will indeed launch a widely feared attack on Iran.
"I thought Petraeus went way beyond what Iran is doing inside Iraq today," said David Kay, a former CIA adviser and the chief weapons inspector in Iraq for the United Nations. "When the White House started its anti-Iran campaign, six months ago, I thought it was all craziness. Now it does look like there is some selective smuggling by Iran, but much of it has been in response to American pressure and American threats."
Iran's not a threat to the US, just as Iraq wasn't a threat to the US. The threat is to Israel, which has always worried about any of its neighbors getting ahold of nuclear weapons.
Israel, of course, has many nuclear weapons. So Israel is egging on the US to do something about it, and is hinting that if the US doesn't stop the Iranian nuclear program, then Israel will - the same way it stopped Iraq's nuclear program years ago, by blowing up their reactor. The United States professes that it supports democracy in the Middle East, yet when there was a democratic government in Iran, the US destroyed it.

Neither of these points is even actually wrong, though the metaphors don’t really scan. Further, Friedman appears, theatrically dropping his voice to a whisper, to have just discovered them.--For example, he notes — I think correctly — that radical Islamic terrorism is the result of years of American-sanctioned political repression in the Islamic world. Friedman’s solution to Arab resentment of the American-backed political regime? American invasion. To sum up: Friedman is smart enough to understand that Arabs, like everyone else, want their human and civil rights, and that they’re pissed that we are complicit in denying them these rights. ---"

The Bush administration is approaching its last year in the White House. As the clock ticks toward 2008, speculation grows over whether President Bushand Vice President Dick Cheney will indeed launch a widely feared attack on Iran.
"I thought Petraeus went way beyond what Iran is doing inside Iraq today," said David Kay, a former CIA adviser and the chief weapons inspector in Iraq for the United Nations. "When the White House started its anti-Iran campaign, six months ago, I thought it was all craziness. Now it does look like there is some selective smuggling by Iran, but much of it has been in response to American pressure and American threats."
Iran's not a threat to the US, just as Iraq wasn't a threat to the US. The threat is to Israel, which has always worried about any of its neighbors getting ahold of nuclear weapons.
Israel, of course, has many nuclear weapons. So Israel is egging on the US to do something about it, and is hinting that if the US doesn't stop the Iranian nuclear program, then Israel will - the same way it stopped Iraq's nuclear program years ago, by blowing up their reactor. The United States professes that it supports democracy in the Middle East, yet when there was a democratic government in Iran, the US destroyed it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday warned against military action against Iran and backed its right to nuclear energy, during the first visit to this country by a Kremlin chief since World War II.
The Arab-Israeli war, Iraq war and all other conflicts can be ended and a final agreement reached on the Arab lands and an international pact made concerning the city of Jerusalem. Because Arab patience has reached its limits with Israeli refusal to abide by the unenforced UN Resolution No.242 in which virtually the whole world, including America, agreed that Israel should withdraw from Arab lands.
Because of totally irreconcilable differences between selfish American and Israeli interests and those of the rest of the World a peaceful settlement is utterly impossible, and an armed invasion and conquest by Russia and supporting powers is inevitable.Any major invasion force would have to be permitted to pass through either Turkey or Iran or both, as well as Iraq and Syria .
God himself describes this invasion of Israel,and says it will come from the North led by Russia with the help of Europe, Libya, Turkey, Persia and Ethiopia.That's what it says in the Bible(see Ezekiel 38 and 38 and Daniel 11).
