"And
so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel,
and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these
tents, as this plague. And it shall come to pass, that every
one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem
shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD
of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall
be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth
unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon
them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up,
and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith
the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the
feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt,
and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the
feast of tabernacles. In that day shall there be upon the bells
of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S
house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot
in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of
hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them,
and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the
Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 14:15-21

- : MORE GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd
like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded
this ministry. We were Mormons (Temple Mormons) for 20 years.
We prayed to God in 1992 to allow us to do a ministry speaking
out against Scientology. Six months later God led us to the truth:
out of the cult of Mormonism. We did not know at the time we
were in a cult. No-one had witnessed to us in 20 years. [George
passed away to heaven in March 2003 and Nicholas Stivers joined
the ministry as Vice President.]
- The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults
and the present development of the New World Order. We began
bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already
done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry. Our
newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger or resistance to evil which is strictly prohibited in Scripture.
It is to shed light on activities by those who would deceive
the elect by devious methods and systematic plans.
- We appreciate and thank researchers
for submitting findings relative to our library:
- Deborah Dromboski, Dave Hunt, Kathy
Camatara, Mike, Anton Hein, Dean Taffel, Simantov Allalouf, and
others. We try to get as much
published as we can. It is becoming more and more difficult to
deal with all the information we receive since there is a lack
of manpower.
- We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
- The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had
to leave the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the
Wall' which God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.
- To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible
to compare notes.
- The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.
- The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
which doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word of God has
undergone many changes to fit the present mode. The Bible calls
for a falling away from the truth before Jesus
comes back for His Bride, the true believers are called 'Ekklesia.'
Our newsletters prove this fact and prove that the Bible is true
from beginning to end.
- The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, so called democratizing what is left. One third of the
world still remains to be taken over. It again proves that we
are moving to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied
in the Bible.
- The third section compliments End Time
teachings with what is happening in Israel. We describe and watch
for signs of the coming Tribulation to confirm that we are moving
into that space of time.
- Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have
an email group that gets information when we upload new information
and a newsletter whenever it is possible time wise. We love the
Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God
has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Our Statement of Faith is at http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html
- ::We believe every word in the KJV Bible and believe it is
the Word of God and that Jesus is the Christ, God Himself, who
spilled His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again to
prepare a place for those who repent and accept 'His' righteousness
as their righteousness. They are those who accept Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Savior, Jews first and then Gentiles. We expect
to be raptured in a pretribulation Rapture to live with God the
Father, God His Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit, who
are ONE GOD in three persons, forever. Revelation 3:20
"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."

and commit your life to Him only by clicking on this link: Salvation
- Luke 12:20,21 "But
God said unto him, "Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall

We pray the Lord will bless you with a thirst for truth and a
desire to serve Him exclusively, in Christ Jesus, Nicholas A.

- KHATAMI ASSOCIATES HIMSELF WITH POPE JOHN PAUL II IN AMERICAN
MINDS
- WHO TAUGHT TOLERANCE AND CATERED TO ISLAM BY KISSING THE
KORAN
- Mohammad Khatami, Irans president from 1997 to 2005,
at the National Cathedral in Washington on Thursday.
- By THOM SHANKER - September 8, 2006 - WASHINGTON, Sept. 7
Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran, made an
unusual appearance at Washingtons National Cathedral on
Thursday evening, urging religious tolerance and political dialogue
while protesters chanted and blasted horns outside. Mr. Khatami
is on a five-city speaking tour of the United States as the guest
of private organizations, although the State Department, which
approved his visa, assisted with security. Iranian diplomats
in this country are usually restricted to activities at the United
Nations.
- The line for his speech, which drew an estimated 1,200 people,
formed two hours in advance. At a news conference in Washington
on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Khatami spoke in terms that combined
the religious and the temporal, urging a spiritual dialogue among
those of different religions even as he criticized what he described
as threatening words of their governments. He repeated his governments
official line that Iran would be prepared to discuss its nuclear
program with the world community, but without the precondition
of freezing its enrichment of uranium as demanded by a United
Nations resolution as well as the United States and its closest
allies.
- We are in search of solutions, Mr. Khatami said
through an interpreter. During the course of negotiations
we could even talk about suspensions, the nature of suspensions,
the timing of suspensions and the durations of suspensions.
- He cautioned that the threat of use of force, and language
of threat, has never produced a resolution. Mr. Khatami
served as president of Iran for two terms, from 1997 to 2005,
and is the highest-ranking Iranian to visit Washington since
the United States severed relations under President Carter in
1980 after the 1979 revolution and the seizure of American hostages.
His speaking tour ostensibly is to discuss interfaith cooperation.
But his comments will certainly be scrutinized for any indication
of current Iranian thinking on critical international issues.
- Officials representing Mr. Khatamis host in Washington,
the Center for Global Justice and Reconciliation at Cathedral
College, hailed him as a moderate voice of Iranian politics whose
advice could advance world peace.
- But Sean McCormack, the State Department spokesman, said
this week that Mr. Khatamis record should be viewed as
mixed, and he cautioned against any automatic embrace of him
as representing a reformist strain of Iranian politics. In comments
to reporters before his speech, Mr. Khatami discussed the overlap
of teachings from the three world religions that descended from
Abraham. He cited Jesus as the prophet of kindness, Muhammad
as the prophet of ethics, morality and grace, and Moses as the
prophet of dialogue.
- He urged an end to the stockpiling of unconventional weapons
and expressed a hope that coexistence, mutual understanding
could replace violence, terror; and these could be used to pursue
reconciliation. The Middle East, he said, should be a region
free of unconventional weapons. He rejected assertions that Irans
nuclear program was aimed at producing nuclear weapons, repeating
the official statements from Tehran that Irans efforts
to achieve expertise in nuclear technology are to guarantee its
energy needs.
- Mr. Khatamis visit drew criticism from conservatives
inside Iran, voices that he rejected by saying, If you
want to accept to live in a democratic society, you have to accept
dissent. He said that one of the greatest achievements
of his administration was tolerating criticism even for senior
members of the executive branch. He did not mention that such
criticism of Irans clerical leadership is not similarly
tolerated. Today no other course is before us but that
of recognition of the right of humankind to rule its own destiny,
and the manifestation of this right in democratic systems ought
not to be limited to liberal democracies, Mr. Khatami said
in his address. For dialogue among civilizations to materialize,
he said, the East should no longer be the object
of understanding in the West, but should be recognized
as a partner in dialogue and communication.

- THE POPE RECEIVES REBUKE FROM RUSSIAN VLADIMIR PUTIN !
- POPE 'DEEPLY SORRY' FOR COMMENTS ON ISLAM
- [Ednote: ISLAM VALIDATED WHAT THE POPE SAID BY THEIR REACTIONS]
- Muslims greet pontiff's apology with mixed reaction
Associate Press - 9.17.2006 "These (words) were in fact
a quotation from a Medieval text which do not in any way express
my personal thought," Benedict told pilgrims at his summer
palace outside Rome.
The pope sparked the controversy when, in a speech Tuesday to
university professors during a pilgrimage to his native Germany,
he cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some
of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, Islams founder,
as "evil and inhuman." "At this time I wish also
to add that I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries
to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg,
which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims,"
the pope said Sunday. Muslim leaders in the Mideast gave mixed
reactions to the pontiffs apology. Mahmoud Ashour, the
former deputy of Cairos Al-Azhar Mosque, the Sunni Arab
worlds most powerful institution, told Al-Arabiya TV immediately
after the popes speech that, "It is not enough. He
should apologize because he insulted the beliefs of Islam. He
must apologize in a frank way and say he made a mistake."
Mohammed al-Nujeimi, a professor at the Institute of Judicial
and Islamic Studies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, also criticized
the popes statement. "The pope does not want to apologize.
He is evading apology and what he said today is a repetition
of his previous statement," he told Al-Arabiya TV.
- VISIT TO TURKEY STILL ON
- The Vatican released a statement Saturday saying the pope
"sincerely regrets" that Muslims were offended, but
stopped short of the apology demanded by many Muslim leaders.
But the leader of Egypts largest Islamic political group,
the Muslim Brotherhood, said that "while anger over the
Popes remarks is necessary, it shouldnt last for
long." "While he is the head of the Catholic Church
in the world, many Europeans are not following (the church) so
what he said wont influence them. Our relations with Christians
should remain good, civilized and cooperative," Mohammed
Mahdi Akef told The Associated Press. Turkeys foreign minister
said Sunday the pope was still expected to visit in November
in what would be his first trip to a Muslim nation. "From
our point of view, there is no change," Abdullah Gul told
reporters before departing for a trip to the United States. The
Vaticans secretary of state echoed Guls remarks.
"I hope that he will do" the trip, Cardinal Tarcisio
Bertone was quoted as saying by the Italian news agency ANSA.
"Until now, there are no reasons not to make it." Russian
President Vladimir Putin earlier urged world religious leaders
to show "responsibility and restraint" to avoid what
he called "extremes" in relations between faiths. "We
understand perfectly how sensitive this sphere is. I think it
would be right if we call for responsibility and restraint from
the leaders of all world faiths," he said during a meeting
with parliamentary leaders from Group of Eight nations in the
Russian resort city of Sochi. In his speech on Tuesday, Benedict
quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th century
Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and an educated
Persian on the truths of Christianity and Islam. "The emperor
comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war," the
pope said. "He said, I quote, Show me just what Muhammad
brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil
and inhuma" The remarks sparked protests and some
violence across parts of the Muslim world.

- SOME TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM
- Email from: Robert Weinert, Researcher: September 5, 2006
- The Hadith is the record of the teachings and example of Muhammad
not found in the Qur'an and are thus authoritative for all Muslims.
To deny the Hadith is to be guilty of apostasy under Islamic
Law. The greatest of all Hadith scholars was Bukhari.
- Again, I write to you my Muslim friend: I have some questions
I want you to answer.
- #1 - How many "wives" did Mohammed have during
the course of his life? Does anyone really know the correct number?
I have seen different numbers by different scholars? Some claim
that he had 9 wives, but they do not name them and I have seen
claims that he had 29 wives, but not all at the same time because
he divorced some of them. How many wives did he have and how
many consorts? How many does the Koran say that you can have?
- #2 - Did he sometimes have sex with all his wives in one
night? Yes it is true. It is written in the Hadith by Sahih Bukhari
that Mohammed liked to have sex with all of his wives in one
night. {SEE THE ACTUAL HADITH FURTHER BELOW IN THIS EMAIL}
- #3 - Did Mohammed betroth Aisha when she was 6 years old
and have sex with Aisha when she was 9 years old and when he
was in his mid fifties? Yes it is true and it is written in the
Hadith by Sahih Bukhari that Mohammed bethrothed Aisha when she
was only 6 years old and that he had sex with her when she was
9 to "consummate" the "marriage."
- HERE ARE THE HADITH BY SAHIH BUKHARI ABOUT MOHAMMED HAVING
SEX WITH ALL HIS WIVES IN ONE NIGHT
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 5: [THE FUNERAL OF
A WIFE OF MOHAMMED & SEX WITH 8 OUT OF NINE WIVES AT NIGHT.
]
- Narrated 'Ata:
- We presented ourselves along with Ibn 'Abbas at the funeral
procession of Maimuna at a place called Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said,
"This is the wife of the Prophet so when you lift her bier,
do not Jerk it or shake it much, but walk smoothly because the
Prophet had nine wives and he used to observe the night turns
with eight of them, and for one of them there was no night turn."
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 6: [MOHAMMED, SEX
WITH 9 WIVES IN ONE NIGHT]
- Narrated Anas:
- The Prophet I used to go round (have sexual relations with)
all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 7: [POLYGAMY IS LAUDED
AS VERY GOOD THING]
- Narrated Said bin Jubair:
- Ibn 'Abbas asked me, "Are you married?" I replied,
"No." He said, "Marry, for the best person of
this (Muslim) nation (i.e., Muhammad) of all other Muslims, had
the largest number of wives."
- Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 57: [THIS IS MOHAMMED'S
SIX YEAR OLD WIFE]
- Narrated 'Aisha:
- Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You were shown to me
in a dream. An angel brought you to me, wrapped in a piece of
silken cloth, and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I removed
the piece of cloth from your face, and there you were. I said
to myself. 'If it is from Allah, then it will surely be.' "

- PROTESTANTS LOOKING TO VIRGIN MARY GODDESS - MOVE OVER, JESUS
Chick Publications October 2006 - When mainline Protestant denominations
abandoned belief that the Bible is God's perfect word, many errors
began to creep in. Recently Episcopal, Presbyterian and Lutheran
conventions spent much time discussing the role of homosexual
leaders in their ranks. Appeals to the Bible truth by conservative
members were ignored and denominational leaders were installed
who were living as open sodomites and favoring homosexual marriage.
Another issue is bigger than that one: the question of Mary's
role in salvation. Last year, Time magazine devoted several pages
to the question of "Mary for Protestants?" Some pastors,
coming out of the liberal seminaries, are elevating the Roman
Catholic Virgin Mary goddess by introducing statues and "veneration"
of her. They are buying into the Catholic perspective. First
was the lie that Roman Catholicism is not a cult but another
denomination with some different worship "traditions."
When Protestants bought this, the next step was: "Let's
work together on the 'cultural issues' that we can agree on such
as opposition to abortion and homosexuality."
- In the meantime, a flurry of new Bible translations began
to appear, all based on the flawed Roman Catholic manuscripts.*
These have caused so much confusion that many churches no longer
believe that we have a perfect Bible. For example, some Bible
colleges are breaking affiliation with the Southern Baptist Convention
because denomination leaders are requesting that the schools
teach a literal interpretation of the Bible.
- Now comes the move to include worship of Mary. Some people
have been trying to put a feminine face on God by producing "inclusive"
bibles eliminating many of the masculine references to God. Catholicism
found it easier to just add another deity, a female "goddess."
For centuries, Catholic tradition has elevated their Virgin Mary
to goddess stature. First she was "mother of all mankind."
Then, since Jesus was God and she was His mother, she picked
up the title, "Mother of God." Millions of Catholics
pray to her every day for all kinds of favors. Only a divinity
could hear them all and deal with them individually. No mere
human has that ability. Then in the 1850s the pope decided that
she was born without sin: "immaculately conceived."
In 1950 she was declared to have been "assumed" into
heaven without corruption of the body. Now there is a petition
with over a million signatures before the pope to declare her
"mediatrix" and "co-redemptrix" with Jesus.
- So, just who IS this "Virgin Mary?" The account
of the lowly virgin in the Bible who bore our Savior bears little
resemblance to this exalted being who gets a special pass into
heaven, receives prayers, mediates with a stern God, and appears
in thousands of apparitions all over the world.
- Author David Daniels, after in-depth research, proves that
this modern day goddess is none other than a spiritual reincarnation
of the ancient Babylonian Semiramis. In his new book Babylon
Religion, Daniels traces hundreds of historical references to
goddesses over the ages and around the world. His amazing conclusion:
One of Satan's major objects of idolatry is a goddess. All the
religions anywhere on the planet have a goddess at or near the
center of their worship. This idolatry was started in Babylon
shortly after the flood.
- When mankind was dispersed by the language change at Babel,
each group carried the goddess concept and gave their female
deity some other name. But they all had common characteristics,
so they were obviously a takeoff from the original. For example,
the mother-child image of Semiramis and Tammuz is essentially
the same as the Mary-Baby Jesus statues. Daniels uses solid documentation
to prove that the modern Roman Catholic Virgin Mary is NOT the
Mary of the Bible, but the culmination of a grand plan by Satan
to seduce all the world's religions with a common female deity.
Catholics, Muslims, Hindus and now Protestants are all being
brought together by this powerful demon posing as "Mother
of All Nations."
- Jesus said that in the last days, even the elect would be
deceived if that were possible. Soul winners, we must stand firm
on God's preserved words in English, the King James Bible and
speak boldly against this prostitute church seated on the seven
hills of the Vatican. God says, "Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues." (Rev. 18:4)

the Catholic Church Give Us the Bible? by David Daniels.

- RENDER TO THE POPE...
- Adrian Hilton says that the EU is a means of undoing the
Reformation and extending Vatican sovereignty over Britain...
This realm of England is an Empire ...governed by one Supreme
Head and King.' So proclaimed Thomas Cromwell in his most critical
piece of legislation, the Act in Restraint of Appeals in 1533.
By calling England an empire, he designated it a sovereign state,
with a king who owed no submission to any other human ruler and
who was invested with plenary power to give his people justice
in all causes. Interestingly, the Act's critics in Parliament
were not so much concerned by its doctrinal corollaries, as by
the fear that the Pope might retaliate by organising a European
trade embargo against England. The Pope, of course, laid claim
to the ultimate divine right. He was, after all, the Vice-Christ,
appointed to establish one unified empire under one emperor,
belonging to one Church under one God.
- England finally rid itself of papal interference in the Bill
of Rights of 1689, which declared that 'no foreign prince, person,
prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction,
power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical
or spiritual, within this realm.' It may have taken 440 years
from Cromwell's foundational declaration, but entry in 1973 to
the 'European Economic Community' brought England back into the
Catholic fold, and exactly 460 years after the English monarch
was declared sovereign, the present Queen was reduced to vassal
status under the terms of the Maastricht Treaty, which rendered
her a European citizen and thereby subject to 'foreign princes
and potentates'... While the EU has adopted many symbols of nationhood
(a passport, flag, anthem and currency) and is now moving towards
the attributes of government (a president, foreign secretary,
global ambassadors at the UN and G8), it follows that, since
Europe has no unified demos, a 'deeper' cohesive force is necessary
to hold the whole project together. Full story http://www.cephas-library.com/catholic_power_grab_of_pope.html

- POPE WAS ON GOOD TERMS WITH LEADERS IN SYRIA - LOOKING BACK
TO 2001
- Pope's Mass to Draw 40,000 - Scott Bobb - Damascus - 05 May
2001 - Pope John Paul II is due to say mass Sunday
morning before 40,000 people at a sports stadium in Damascus.
The mass comes on the second day of the Pope's visit to Syria
and follows a day of meetings with Syrian religious and political
leaders.
Pope John Paul ended his first day in Syria with a meeting aimed
at healing a 1,000-year-old rift with eastern Christian churches.
The Pope Saturday evening met with leaders of the Greek and Syrian
Orthodox and Catholic churches in Syria and pledged to work for
union with the Vatican. Greek Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius the
Fourth spoke of past injustices by western Christians against
the Orthodox. But the Greek Orthodox patriarch prayed for a renewed
dialogue, that would be sincere, deep and loving. The Pontiff
responded in French with a similar call.
- The Pope said he was praying for the peaceful unification
of the churches as one flock under a single shepherd. He indicated
he hoped one day the churches would celebrate Easter together.
- The Pope was warmly welcomed to Syria Saturday morning by
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and the country's political,
religious and tribal leaders. President al-Assad praised the
Pontiff for his efforts on behalf of the oppressed and, through
an interpreter, criticized the recent violence in the region.
"So we see our brothers in Palestine being killed and tortured.
We see that justice is being violated, lands are being occupied
in Lebanon, the Golan and Palestine," he said.
- President al-Assad called for a halt to the killing, for
the return of land seized from the Arabs and for the establishment
of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. The Pope
responded, lamenting that calls for peace in the region have
been dashed in waves of violence and calling for a new attitude
among Christians, Muslims and Jews. "Real peace can only
be achieved if there is a new attitude of understanding between
the followers of the three Abrahamic religions," he said.
The Pope said it is time to return to the principles of international
legality, halt the acquisition of territory by force and promote
the right of self-determination. In this regard, he said among
the most important principles are the respect for U.N. resolutions
and the Geneva Convention on human rights.
- The Pontiff is to meet with Muslim leaders Sunday evening
at the ancient Omayyad Mosque, the first such visit by a
by a Pope in history. Scott Bobb - Damascus - 05 May 2001

of the Virgins who will go through the door when Jesus opens
it. End of note]
- Dear Pastor,
- ABC's Rosie O'Donnell told a nationwide audience this week
that "radical Christians" are the same as radical Muslims
who piloted hijacked jetliners into New York's Twin Towers, who
chop off the heads of individuals and who bomb innocent children
in suicide attacks. O'Donnell made her comments as host of ABC's
"The View."
- "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical
Islam in a country like America where we have separation of church
and state."
- [Ednote: obviously O'Donnell is not up on what is going
on with church and state. The church has merged into Homeland
Security to serve the state according to an Executive Order by
President George W Bush recently. The Christian Right are not
fundamental Christians.]
- O'Donnell said. She had been saying that America was attacked
"not by a nation." She continued: "And as a result
of the attack and the killing of 3,000 innocent people, we invaded
two countries and killed innocent people." Even her liberal
co-hosts were shocked by her comments.
- Co-host Joy Behar protested that Christians are not trying
to impose mass murder on America. "This group (radical Muslims)
is threatening to kill us." Replied O'Donnell: "No,
but we are bombing innocent people in other countries. True or
false?"
- O'Donnell was saying there is no difference between the radical
Muslims who kill in the name of Allah and Bible-believing Christians
who follow the teachings of Jesus. [Ednote: The church is to
get out of the world system because it is run by Satan. Adam
and Eve handed him the authority. This is a perfect example why
we must separate from the evil world and stop watching TV. Pray
for your enemies.]
- Neither O'Donnell nor ABC apologized for the comments. Had
she made similar comments about minorities or homosexuals, there
would have been an apology, and she would have probably been
fired.
- The message from ABC is that bashing Christians is acceptable,
even comparing them with murderers who kill in the name of Allah.
- [Ednote: This emailer wants us to take action and demand
an apology from the devil? That's funny to say the least. The
travesty is that they are trying to lure fundamental Christians
into the open.]
- Here is what he wrote: "Take Action
Tell ABC that O'Donnell's comments deserve an apology and a reprimand.
- 1. Send the email to ABC asking for an apology and a reprimand.
- 2. Forward this to your friends and family, and ask them
to send the email to ABC."
- [EDNOTE: WHAT DID JESUS TEACH?? TURN THE OTHER CHEEK.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH?? lol]

- This documentary contains urgent updates since my book Who's
Driving the Purpose Driven Church? Both books are published by
Southwest Radio Church (Bible Belt Publishers). James writes:
"I would like to thank The Conservative Theological Journal
for publishing two articles I wrote on Rick Warren's teachings
in their August and December 2005 issues and their very favorable
review of my book on Rick Warren's teachings.
- There is another great book that just came out opposing Rick
Warren by Pastor Bob DeWaay entitled
- Redefining Christianity
- to order go to: http://www.twincityfellowship.com
- There are a number of pastors, ministries and authors throughout
the world who are opposing Rick Warren, including Dr. John MacArthur,
who exposed Warren in a chapter in his book called
- Fool's Gold by Dr. John McArthur,
- as well as Chuck Smith, Director of Calvary Chapels and most
recently Chuck Smith, Sr., Founder of Calvary Chapels. Dave Hunt,
Jacob Prasch, Director of Moriel Ministries (UK), Richard Bennett,
Perry Rockwood (Canada's oldest Christian national radio ministry),
Roger Oakland, David Cloud, Dusty Peterson (UK wrote documentary
exposing the Alpha Course), Cecil
Andrews (TakeHeed Ministries in Ireland), Moses Yang, Pastor
of Chinese Evangelical Seminary and churches throughout the world,
Gary Kah, Despatch Magazine in Australia, Prophezine Magazine,

Hutchings, author of Dark Side of the Purpose
Driven Church & Dr. Larry Spargimino of Southwest
Radio Church (America's longest running Christian radio national
program), and a host of others listed in my book and online,
have all come out against Purpose Driven nightmare."
James Sundquist goes on to write: "I have been on about
a thousand radio stations, Southwest Radio, American Family Radio,VCY
America, Dr. Kent Hovind's radio show exposing this fraud and
related issues in the last few years, and was just on national
broadcasts, including Dr. Stan Monteith, TheEdge, and the Berean
Chronicles shows and will be bring out these revelations on Southwest
Radio Church and other national publications and radio programs
in the next few weeks as soon is this book on Warren's Global
Peace Plan is in print.
- "I invite you to help expose the fraud in Rick Warren's
Purpose Driven Life book. My hope is that pastors would be as
zealous and consistent in exposing Warren's PDL as they now are
in exposing the fraud of the Da Vinci Code.

- COMMENTARY ON WALL STREET JOURNAL AND BAPTIST PRESS ON RICK
WARREN
- By James Sundquist - September 12, 2006 - Without directly
accusing Rick Warren of lying, Suzanne Sataline, author of the
September 5, 2006 Wall Street Journal article: A Popular Strategy
For Church Growth Splits Congregants, astutely revealed him to
be one when Warren says he opposes any efforts to expel members
from churches who won't comply with his programs, then she describes
Dan Southerland's Church Transitions organization, one of Rick
Warren major global partners and quotes by their spokespersons
Roddy Clyde and Glen Sartain prove that Rick Warren does promote
those very efforts to expel members from churches. The WSJ article
even backed it up by documenting that Church Transitions conducted
their program right at Warren's Saddleback Church, making it
impossible for him to squirm out of it or say that it happened
at another church...so therefore not his fault. And I can back
it up too because I have tapes of Warren's PDC Conference leaders
in Nairobi Kenya, confirming their alliance with Church Transitions
in Warren's Global Peace Plan.
- I can't even believe he would make such an audacious statement
that can be so easily refuted when he trains 400,000 pastors
all over the world how to do precisely just that when dealing
with his "resisters" and those who "must die".
Suzanne Sataline caught Rick Warren redhanded! Good job! A further
note in the Baptist Press article that there was not an ounce
of compassion for any of the victims of Rick Warren's programs
as though they had no biblical grounds for their opposition.
Also note that they tried to contact Warren and the Wall Street
Journal, but no record of contacting any of the victims to verify
their story. You can be sure I will make this known next month
when I will be interviewed on Watchman on the Wall at Southwest
Radio and next week on The New World Order Disorder show on www.theamericanvoice.com,
Prophezine Magazine, The Zeph Report, and on WQBC Radio.
- The time has passed to dialog with Baptist Press. It is now
the time to simply mark them as well as Dr. Barry McCarty whom
the Baptist Press describes as "longtime chief parliamentarian
at the Southern Baptist Convention", and Pastor Doug Morgan,
Governor's Park Baptist Church whose response to me by email
typifies the treatment of anyone who even appeals to a pastor
regarding the teachings of Rick Warren and mirrors the published
gestapo tactics of Church Transition leaders, as collaborators
for their unholy alliances with Rick Warren! James Sundquist,

MSN
NEWS - Sept 3, 2006 Electrolux, which
closed its plant in Greenville, Michigan last March, is one of
several U.S. companies that have moved to Mexico. The $100 million
factory sits in the desert on the edge of Juarez... The jobs
lost in Greenville when a refrigerator factory closed became
jobs gained in Juarez when a new plant opened there. Juarez is
poised to become one of the great manufacturing centers of the
world in the 21st century. Greenville, meanwhile, is trying to
reinvent itself, looking to other sources of economic activity.
It's an all-to-common story, on Labor Day and every day: A big
corporation closes a factory to save money. Americans lose their
jobs to workers in cheap-labor countries, where workers are thought
to be exploited. An American town, usually rural, often somewhere
in the Midwest, falls into decay. Fathers and mothers struggle

- REMEMBERING 9/11 - CONSPIRACY THEORISTS MULTIPLY
MSNBC Washington
Post - September 8, 2006 - Many Americans suspect U.S. government
involvement or complicity Helayne Seidman / The Washington Post
David Ray Griffin, Christian theologian and author of "The
New Pearl Harbor," talks on his cell phone before a lecture
about the destruction of the World Trade Center at St. Marks
Church in the East Village. Sept. 8: Many believe the 19 hijackers
had accomplices inside the United States. NBC's Lisa Myers reports
on the theories. - NEW YORK - He felt no shiver of doubt in those
first terrible hours. He watched the attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon and assumed al-Qaeda had wreaked terrible
vengeance. He listened to anchors and military experts and assumed
the facts of Sept. 11, 2001, were as stated on the screen. It
was a year before David Ray Griffin (photo), an eminent liberal
theologian and philosopher, began his stroll down the path of
disbelief. He wondered why Bush listened to a child's story while
the nation was attacked and how Osama bin Laden, America's Public
Enemy No. 1, escaped in the mountains of Tora Bora. He wondered
why 110-story towers crashed and military jets failed to intercept
even one airliner. He read the 9/11 Commission report with a
swell of anger. Contradictions were ignored and no military or
civilian official was reprimanded, much less cashiered.
- "To me, the report read as a cartoon." White-haired
and courtly, Griffin sits on a couch in a hotel lobby in Manhattan,
unspooling words in that reasonable Presbyterian minister's voice.
"It's a much greater stretch to accept the official conspiracy
story than to consider the alternatives." Such as? "There
was massive complicity in this attack by U.S. government operatives."
If that feels like a skip off the cliff of established reality,
more Americans are in free fall than you might guess. There are
few more startling measures of American distrust of leaders than
the widespread belief that the Bush administration had a hand
in the attacks of Sept. 11 in order to spark an invasion of Afghanistan
and Iraq. A recent Scripps Howard / Ohio University poll of 1,010
Americans found that 36 percent suspect the U.S. government
promoted the attacks or intentionally sat on its hands. Sixteen
percent believe explosives brought down the towers. Twelve percent
believe a cruise missile hit the Pentagon. Full story:

- PRESIDENT BUSH TELLS OF PLANTED EXPLOSIVES IN HIGH TOWERS
- President Bush TELLS of planted EXPLOSIVES ..... [high enough
to keep people from escaping from the higher floors]

September 15, 2006 -- Press Conference of the President -- The
Rose Garden -- President's Remarks -- 11:15 A.M. EDT September
15, 2006..
- "... We need torture, because..." President Bush:
For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned
attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were
directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for
those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American
people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure
that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high
enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping.
- Bush HESITATES twice and gives away more than he is saying...
he uses REVERSE LOGIC.. if the explosives are planted HIGH in
the building.. there are LESS floors above where people can get
trapped. i.e. If the OPERATIVES wanted to MINIMIZE the bloodbath
they would WANT TO plant explosives HIGH in the building.
- Also, WHY is this valuable information? Since nobody in the
Bush admin did anything to prevent it, the VALUE of the information
could only illustrate how negligent the Bush admin was. But this
is a red herring anyway! The Bush junta is starting to COVER
ITS ... My guess is that Bush's handlers have instructed Shrub
to GIVE A CODED WARNING to the operatives that there are documents
to be released which will EXPOSE and confirm the use of explosives...
they are giving out the DIRECTIVE FOR SPIN:
- The "operatives" planted explosives... ? Arabs
planting tons of explosives?.. SUDDENLY we discoverd that it
was NOT JUST THE FUEL that brought the towers down and slaughtered

- CRUSHED TOWERS GIVE UP CACHE OF GOLD INGOTS
- By Nicholas Wapshott in New York - November 01, 2001
- RECOVERY workers at Ground Zero have discovered hundreds of
gold ingots, part of a billion dollar cache which was lost when
the twin towers fell.
Workers clearing rubble in a service tunnel underneath one of
the collapsed World Trade Centre buildings found themselves surrounded
by more than 100 armed FBI and secret service personnel, who
had been tipped off by the owners where the gold was buried.

The collapsed buildings contained a number of vaults and strongrooms,
but the police were not saying who owned the gold.
- The Comex metals trading division of the New York Mercantile
Exchange kept 3,800 gold bars weighing 12 tonnes and worth
more than $100 million (£70 million) in vaults in
the buildings basement. Comex also held almost 800,000
ounces of gold there on behalf of others with a value of about
$220 million. It also held more than 102 million ounces of silver,
worth $430 million.
- The Bank of Nova Scotia, which kept gold in the Comex vault,
reported $200 million of gold lost in the wreckage. Comex also
held precious metals for Chase Manhattan Bank, the Bank of New
York and Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking.
- The vaults higher up the towers became burial chambers on
September 11 as some workers tried in vain to protect themselves
from the fire and smoke by taking refuge inside them.
- The gold, which was discovered on Tuesday, was being transported
through the basement of the building on the morning of September
11. Recovery workers reached a service tunnel and discovered
a ten-wheel lorry and a number of cars which had been crushed
by falling steel. A temporary ramp was built to gain access to
the tunnel and a small bulldozer was used to break through a
wall. Then a team of police and firefighters arrived to put the
gold into an armoured bullion lorry. Other workers were told
to make themselves scarce. If I tried to go down there
they would have shot me, one said.
- Eight years ago, when the World Trade Centre was bombed by
terrorists, more than $1 billion in gold was being kept in the
basement vaults, the property of the Kuwaiti Government. The
vaults withstood the blast.
- At first police believed the terrorist attack was an attempted
gold robbery. Since then the amount of gold kept under the World
Trade Centre has been a carefully guarded secret.

- CRUNCH IRAN-EU ATOM TALKS DUE
- By Mark Heinrich - September 8, 2006 -
VIENNA
(Reuters) - Iran's top nuclear negotiator and the EU foreign
policy chief are due to meet on Saturday in what may be a last-ditch
chance to avert U.N. Security Council moves to hit Tehran with
sanctions over its atomic ambitions.
- The European Union's Javier Solana will want Iran's Ali Larijani
to clarify hints, made in an August 22 reply to an offer of incentives
to stop enriching uranium, that Tehran could curb its nuclear
fuel program if engaged in negotiations.
- But a diplomat familiar with the Iranian position said Larijani
was likely to insist Iran would not suspend enrichment as a precondition
for negotiations, and that looming Security Council action was
only poisoning prospects for agreement.
- The failure of both sides to agree an exact time and venue
for the talks less than 24 hours before their expected start
betrayed a war of nerves intensifying since Iran ignored a Security
Council deadline of August 31 to halt enrichment work. The Solana-Larijani
encounter was originally slated for Wednesday but postponed at
the last minute.
- Washington said on Friday the meeting would take place in
Vienna but that it also expected the Council to begin deliberations
next week on a draft sanctions resolution.
- But key EU allies and Russia and China among the six world
powers handling Iran's case voiced growing doubt about the speed
with which Washington wanted to pursue punitive action against
Tehran, its arch-foe but also the world's No. 4 oil exporter.
Iran insists it wants only nuclear-generated electricity. Western
powers suspect the work is a smokescreen for efforts to build
atom bombs. U.N. nuclear watchdog probes have raised many questions
although no proof of diversions into bomb making.
- Tehran renewed calls for negotiations in its reply to the
six-power offer of trade benefits. But it ruled out shelving
enrichment as the precondition, which Western leaders see as
vital to creating trust in Iranian intentions.
- "They (Iran) have not been convinced of the technical
or legal justification for suspension. What happens (with the
issue of suspension) would depend on the outcome of negotiations,"
the diplomat versed in Iran's stance told Reuters.
- "On Saturday (Iran) will be testing the goodwill of
the EU side to go in the right direction, a peaceful solution
without preconditions," the diplomat said.
- "They are serious and hope the (EU) side shows a similar
seriousness. They are ready to discuss all the questions important
to both sides and remove the ambiguities." But an internal
position paper drawn up by France, Britain and Germany said Iran
seeks to split world opinion and weaken any sanctions by withholding
a clear reply to big power terms, according to a diplomat from
one of the "EU3" powers.
- Another EU3 diplomat said Larijani's stopovers in Italy and
Spain this week seemed to be part of that maneuvering.
- "He tours EU states that have a soft approach to sanctions.
It's part of a longstanding effort to divide the Europeans from
the Americans on Iran. Larijani thinks Italy and Spain will be
amenable to arguments not to go to sanctions," he said.

- GOOD NEWS! WHY THE MEDIA EMBRACED "9-11 TRUTH"
- By Dr. Henry Makow - Last week TIME Magazine and The Washington
Post ran almost balanced and sympathetic stories about "the
9-11 Truth Movement." These publications define reality
for millions of unsuspecting Americans. Why would they legitimize
a conspiracy view that implicates their owners, the Illuminati
central bankers? Why would they publicize discrepancies that
they have been covering up for five years? Imagine you're in
a meeting with the central bankers who control the American mass
media and government. You're the successor of PR whiz Edward
Bernays. "Edward," they say, "the matrix is
starting to unravel. A third of Americans believe their government
was responsible for 9-11. Damn the Internet! What are we going
to do?" If I were Bernays, I would reply: "Depends
if you're planning another false flag terrorist event, martial
law and an attack on Iran. If so, I would continue to ignore
and marginalize this movement. You dont want to give them
a huge boost in credibility at this time."
- "Eddie," they reply, "it's too late for all
that nasty stuff. Nobody that matters believes in the terror
threat any more. Israel got a bloody nose in Lebanon and can't
attack Iran. The military has its hands full in Iraq. The generals
are in revolt. Plus the Internet is full of stories blaming the
Mossad and Israel. Anti Semitism is on the rise. " "Don't
panic boys," I tell them. "I have the answer. What
we need is a "Time-Out" to restore everybody's faith
in the system. We need a return to the Democratic Party, a return
to the sanity of the Carter or Clinton eras, a break from those
mean ugly corrupt Republicans." "How do we do that?"
the bankers ask. http://www.savethemales.ca/
- From Henry's opening page:
- "God is trying to realize Himself through mankind.
This is the essence of all true religion. The Creator has infused
human life with snowflake perfection. Man need only discern this
design to discover indescribable beauty, peace and happiness.
- A loving bliss is at the heart of human life. Our worldly
desires for money, sex (romance) and power are vain attempts
to conjure it. But the more we pursue this counterfeit, the further
we stray from the true source. The pursuit of worldly desires
tends to enslave the soul. Bliss requires that we outgrow these
desires.
- A relatively small clique is enslaving humanity.
This is the London-based central banking cartel that controls
the credit of most nations and is the mainspring of the Illuminati
which controls Freemasonry. It has filched the government's credit
card and can buy anything/anyone and charge the taxpayer.
- Few mortals could resist this temptation to own the world.
The Illuminati want to be God and define reality according to
their own dysfunction and arrested development. They want
to expunge our belief in God (natural and moral order) and
ensure mankind does not evolve as intended. Lucifer is their
god; alienation, revolution, dysfunction and decadence are
their form of worship.
- They want us to miss our Divine Rendezvous
and languish in a drab prison cell with a television blasting
money, sex (romance) and violence 24/7. Prisoners themselves
, they would induct us into their private hell.
- Look at the mass media which they control. Do you see
anything that warms your heart and reminds you of what it means
to be human? Anything that expresses and fosters love for people?
Anything that ennobles, (truly) educates, uplifts and empowers?
Anything that encourages you to join with likeminded people and
work together?
- Ironically their gazillions of dollars cannot buy them
what they really want. Like you and I, they want to be loved.
Right now they hate people and people hate them. But if they
were genuine benefactors, rather than "philanthropists"
with a perverse secret agenda, they would be loved. ... whole

- WHERE WAS OSAMA ON SEPTEMBER 11 ,2001?
- By Michel Chossudovsky - September 9, 2006 - GlobalResearch.ca
- "Going after bin Laden" has served, over the last
five years, to sustain the legend of the "world's most wanted
terrorist", who "haunts Americans and millions of others
around the world." Donald Rumsfeld has repeatedly claimed
that the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden remain unknown: "It
is like looking for a needle in a stack of hay". In November
2001, US B-52 bombers carpet bombed a network of caves in the
Tora Bora mountains of eastern Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden
and his followers were allegedly hiding. These caves were described
as "Osama's last stronghold".
- CIA "intelligence analysts" subsequently concluded
that Osama had escaped from his Tora Bora cave in the first week
of December 2001. And in January 2002, the Pentagon launched
a Worldwide search for Osama and his top lieutenants, beyond
the borders of Afghanistan. This operation, referred to by Secretary
of State Colin Powell as a "hot pursuit", was carried
out with the support of the "international community"
and America's European allies. US intelligence authorities confirmed,
in this regard, that
- "while al Qaeda has been significantly shattered, ...

- BUSH MOVES TO SHORE UP WAR-ON-TERROR CREDENTIALS
WASHINGTON Christian Science Monitor - By Linda Feldmann
- September 08, 2006 - His speeches on security this week signal
that Republicans will use the terrorism issue for the third election
in a row. Two months before high-stakes congressional elections,
President Bush has dramatically reframed the debate over the
war on terror and laid down a stiff political challenge to the
Democrats. This week's series of national-security speeches,
pegged to Monday's 9/11 anniversary, differ in a key way from
similar rounds of speeches in the last year: Mr. Bush made major
news, foremost his proposal for new rules governing trials of
terror suspects. The accompanying announcement that 14 "high
value" terrorism detainees - including top Al Qaeda planners
of 9/11 - are being moved from secret CIA prisons to the US military
prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, puts a face on his plan
for trials.
Bush's speeches demonstrate the power of the presidential bully
pulpit, even for a chief executive struggling in the polls. And
in the first week of the fall campaign, marked by the traditional
Labor Day kickoff, they confirm a political strategy long telegraphed
by Bush adviser Karl Rove: to make heavy use of the terrorism
issue for the third election in a row.
- The question now is whether the increasingly unpopular war
in Iraq - long framed as a central front in the war on terror
- will undo the White House's goal of portraying Republicans
as more capable than Democrats of defending the nation. For the
Democrats, who control neither the White House nor Congress,
the task is to convince enough voters in key congressional races
to make the leap for change.
- In 2004, "what the White House did was to use the war
on terror like a helium balloon to pull up the sagging ratings
in the war in Iraq," says Norman Ornstein, a political analyst
at the American Enterprise Institute. "Now, Iraq is like
a lead weight pulling down on the war on terror. So they believe
they need a more aggressive public approach to explain what the
president is doing and put his critics back on their heels."
- The Democrats are saying, in effect, "no more Mr. Nice
Guy."
- "They feel as if they've been battered for two elections
in a row on the security issue and reacted either passively or
defensively, and there will be no more of that," says Mr.
Ornstein.
- The Democrats had planned to make headlines Wednesday with
a Senate debate over their resolution recommending that Bush
fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, whom they blame for strategic
failures in the Iraq war, but Bush's speech overshadowed the
action on Capitol Hill. Republican senators killed the measure
in a point of order declaring it irrelevant to the Pentagon spending
bill under consideration.
- Democrats face a greater challenge over the substance of
Bush's proposed legislation to change the rules for military
trials of terror suspects. Last June, the administration suffered
a major blow when the Supreme Court struck down the existing
rules. Now, Bush is taking defeat and turning it on its ear,
going on the offensive by promoting a plan that he promises will
bring the likes of Khalid Sheik Mohammed - the self-described
mastermind of 9/11 - to justice. Civil libertarians complain
Bush's proposal still does not adequately protect the rights
of the accused. The president, for example, would allow hearsay
evidence in the trials.
- Democrats who aggressively challenge Bush run the risk of
being portrayed as soft on terror. But internal Republican debate
on the matter could provide cover for Demo- crats. Republican
Sens. John Warner of Virginia, John McCain of Arizona, and Lindsey
Graham of South Carolina have drafted alternative legislation
for military trials that would provide the kind of defendant
rights that many military lawyers say are essential to due process,
such as ensuring a defendant's right to know the evidence against
him. The senators, all with military backgrounds, argue that
denying such access would set a bad precedent for US military
personnel if captured and tried abroad.
- Republicans are also divided over how to craft legislation
that would officially sanction the warrantless wiretapping program.
- But Democrats aren't sitting back, assuming GOP debates won't
be resolved, and they are trying to grab news attention on their
own. Yesterday, Senate Democratic leaders introduced legislation
called the Real Security Act of 2006, containing measures related
to both Iraq and the larger war on terror. The proposal contains
the so-called Reed-Levin resolution, which calls for redeployment
of US troops out of Iraq this year; a provision for heightened
security on transportation; rules for military trials of terror
detainees; and other changes related to the war on terror.
- Bush, meanwhile, delivered the latest in his series of 9/11
speeches yesterday in Atlanta.
- "I learned a lot of lessons on 9/11, and one lesson
is this: In order to protect the country, we will keep steady
pressure, unrelenting pressure, on Al Qaeda and its associates,"
he said. "We will deny them safe haven. We will find them,
and we will bring them to justice."
- Bush called on Congress to pass legislation providing additional
authority for the wiretapping program, which he calls the Terrorist
Surveillance Program, along with reforms to the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act. The warrantless wiretapping program was recently
ruled illegal by a federal judge in Detroit.
- Earlier this year, Sen. Arlen Specter (R) of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Vice President Cheney
agreed to a plan that codifies in law the wiretapping plan, but
other proposals, some from Republicans, are under consideration
in both chambers. http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0908/p02s01-uspo.html

- VERICHIP WANTS TO TEST HUMAN IMPLANTABLE RFID ON MILITARY
- By K.C. Jones, TechWeb Technology News - VeriChip is pitching
its human implantable RFID chips to the U.S. military. VeriChip
spokesperson Nicole Philbin confirmed Wednesday that the company's
Board Chairman Scott Silverman has held informal meetings with
U.S. Navy and Air Force leaders to suggest a feasibility study
of its VeriMed system. The system relies on an implant the size
of a grain of rice, which VeriChip claims has an encrypted 16-digit
identification number. Philbin said only proprietary RFID readers
can decipher the number, which is then entered into a secure
database. A login name and password are required to access the
database on a secure Web site, Philbin said, adding that the
system is more secure and more effective than things people normally
carry in their wallets. Like overall participation, the amount
of information attached to the identification number is at the
discretion of individuals who volunteer for the program, Philbin
said. That could be limited to the most basic information, like
name and telephone number, or it could contain advance directives,
organ donor status and more.
- VeriChip is owned by Applied Digital, which lists federal
agencies among its clients. The company markets the VeriMed system
as a way to ensure that emergency responders and healthcare providers
can identify a patient who is or unable to communicate and learn
of allergies and medical conditions. "The Department of
Defense already has an electronic health records program, and
VeriChip would like to enhance the quality of care for vets and
military members," Philbin said. "There is no power
source. It can't be tracked. It's not a GPS device. It contains
no information other than the identification number. It's not
mandatory. If a person with the device is presented to an emergency
room unconscious, they may be allergic to something or have a
preexisting condition, and that information is crucial."

- AS CONGRESS STALLS ON IMMIGRATION, A BACKLASH BREWS
By Amanda Paulson, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
- CHICAGO Chicago activists marched 50 miles to House
Speaker Dennis Hastert's house last weekend to protest congressional
inaction over reforming immigration laws and what they say is
his anti-immigrant stance. In Phoenix, protesters rallied at
the state's Capitol, also to highlight the stalemate in Washington.
Bob Johnson is equally exercised. The structural engineer from
Buffalo Grove, Ill., argues the other side of 2006's Great Immigration
Debate - that the US needs to send home illegal immigrants and
gain better control of its borders - but he says he cannot believe
Congress is punting on immigration reform. He's been writing
letters to his congressman and senators and says he may not vote
in November or he may vote for a third-party or write-in candidate.
- The decision by congressional leaders not to try to bridge
the big gulf between the House and Senate versions of immigration
reform, at least not before the November midterm elections, is
touching off a backlash that may deliver a sting to some incumbent
lawmakers. How big the backlash grows may not be known until
the day after the election, but it's surfacing in blogs, letters
to the editor, and record-low approval ratings for Capitol Hill.
- "When you have both Bob Novak and David Broder writing
the same column about Congress's failure to act on immigration,
you know something is wrong," says Tamar Jacoby, a senior
fellow at the Manhattan Institute in New York, referring to two
well-known columnists who typically have very different views.
"People on both the right and left will see it as a huge
failure" if Congress ends its term without a bill.
- Certainly, many Americans are worked up over immigration.
The issue sparked huge rallies and marches in the spring, and
has been the subject of endless Lou Dobbs reports. Over the summer,
House leaders held hearings on immigration all over the country.
But now, with inaction on the Hill, some businesses are mobilizing.
A few national groups - like the Associated General Contractors
of America - say they'll stop campaign contributions to lawmakers
who take hard-line stances on immigration controls, according
to The Wall Street Journal. The Texas Produce Association has
said people may have to get used to an "outsourced"
industry, with more growing done in Mexico, if Congress doesn't
produce a bill.
- "It's frustrating and troubling and bad for the country"
that Congress hasn't taken action, says Ray Prewett, executive
vice president of the Texas Vegetable Association. He adds that
growers need at least a guest-worker program to enable them to
harvest their crops. It angers him that Republicans in the House
seem to have hardened in their opposition to compromise.
- If the backlash to inaction proves to be a big one, it would
probably hit Republican lawmakers, who control both houses of
Congress, the hardest, observers say. Democrats hope to use that
image of a "do-nothing" Congress under Republican leadership.
But Republicans have presumably done the math and are calculating
that voters who want a crackdown on illegal immigration would
rather have no bill than a bill that offers any version of amnesty.
- Still, experts see pitfalls for lawmakers. Congress "failed
at crafting a Social Security plan that would sell. The same
is true with immigration: It looks as if they can't tie their
shoes," says David Mayhew, a political science professor
and congressional scholar at Yale University. "This is a
great prominent public issue, and it looked as if they were climbing
up the hill earlier in the summer, but then couldn't make it
and are going to do nothing."

- ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS:
- MARK HUMPHREY/AP - Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) talks
about a program that would enable sheriff's deputies in Nashville
to enforce federal immigration laws. Some activists are responding
to the inaction with laws and proposals at the state and local
level, mostly aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.
Towns like Riverside, N.J., and Arcadia, Wis., have followed
the lead of other cities in proposing ordinances that take aim
at everything from flying non-US flags to hiring illegal immigrants
or restricting the number of people who can live in rental housing.
In state legislatures, almost 550 bills concerning immigrants
have been introduced this year, and 33 have been enacted, according
to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
- "It's a domino effect," says John Keeley, a spokesman
for the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates restricting
immigration. "Washington's at a stalemate, but the fact
is there's large-scale illegal immigration, attendant crime,
school overcrowding - all this stuff going on. At the state and
local level, they don't have the luxury of filibustering."
- Part of the impasse, say observers, has to do with the Republican
Party's split stance on the issue.
- "If they don't act, this has been their signature priority
and the president's signature priority this year, and they look
like idiots," says Norman Ornstein, a residential scholar
at the American Enterprise Institute and coauthor of "The
Broken Branch: How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get
It Back on Track."
- Advocates on both sides claim public-opinion majorities,
with some pointing to polls showing that between two-thirds and
three- quarters of the public favors a combination of enforcement
and a path to citizenship. Others note that far more Americans
think immigration should be decreased, than increased.
- If fact, the security-only voices have been getting stronger,
especially in some key districts, and many Republicans maintain
they're better off with no bill than with a compromise involving
some path to citizenship. And it's still possible that Congress
will pass some smaller enforcement bills, increasing the resources
for border security, in lieu of comprehensive reform.
- But critics say that strategy is shortsighted and ignores
the growing numbers of Latino voters.
- "It seems to me like they're running an incredible risk,"
says Angela Kelley, deputy director of the National Immigration
Forum, which favors reform more along the lines of the Senate's
version. "It's unbelievable they would beat the drum on
this issue for 18 months, have both chambers pass a bill, spend
the summer doing hearings, and now say they aren't going to do
anything.... They're going to have some 'splainin' to do."

- EU DEMANDS TO KNOW LOCATION OF CIA PRISONS
NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports. - Bush has acknowledged secret
overseas jails for terror suspects. Video: Bush's detainee plan.
Bush acknowledges secret CIA -run overseas prisons and says that
tough interrogation revealed plots to attack the United States
and its allies. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports.
- Sept 7, 2006 - STRASBOURG, France - European lawmakers demanded
on Thursday that their governments reveal the location of secret
CIA prisons after President Bush admitted Washington held terror
suspects in jails abroad. Bush said on Wednesday the Central
Intelligence Agency had interrogated dozens of suspects at undisclosed
overseas locations and 14 of those held had now been sent to
the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay. A leader of Europes
chief human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe, said the
revelation vindicated the exhaustive investigation the body had
conducted on secret prisons and CIA flights moving suspects around
Europe.
- Our work has helped to flush out the dirty nature of
this secret war, which -- we learn at last -- has been carried
out completely beyond any legal framework, said Council
of Europe Parliamentary Assembly president Rene van der Linden.
A Washington Post report last year that the CIA had run secret
prisons in Europe and flown suspects to states where they could
be tortured unleashed a spate of probes -- including one by the
European Parliament -- prompting uncomfortable denials by European
governments and evasions from Washington. The location
of these prison camps must be made public, said German
lawmaker Wolfgang Kreissl-Doerfler, a member of the European
Parliament committee investigating the allegations. We
need to know if there has been any complicity in illegal acts
by governments of EU countries or states seeking EU membership,
he said in a statement. He urged EU member Poland and candidate
country Romania to speak out about accusations that they hosted
secret detention centers on their soil. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14712414/revealed

- G7 SEES STRONG GROWTH AND FLAGS POTENTIAL RISK
- Delegates ask for directions from security officials during
rain at the Suntec convention centre, venue of the IMF-World
Bank meetings, in Singapore September 15, 2006
September 16, 2006 SINGAPORE Reuters - Nicky Loh - The world's
leading industrial countries are enjoying strong growth but face
the risk of rising inflationary expectations, tight energy markets
and spreading protectionism, a draft communique of the Group
of Seven rich nations says.
- The statement, to be released later on Saturday after talks
in Singapore among G7 finance ministers and central bank governors,
makes a thinly veiled call for Asia to let its currencies rise
faster to help reduce global economic imbalances. "We reaffirm
our strong commitment to pursuing sound policies, and call on
others to join us to meet the shared responsibility for orderly
adjustment of global imbalances," the text, obtained by
Reuters, said.
- The draft did not contain a section on exchange rates, which
officials said was still being finalised.
- But a G7 source said the communique would broadly repeat
language used by the group after its meeting on April 21, when
it called for China in particular to permit more currency flexibility.
- The communique says growth in the United States is moderating
but should remain solid in the 12-member euro zone.
- Growth in Britain is becoming stronger and more balanced,
while Canada remains on a balanced growth path and Japan is enjoying
a broadly based recovery, the statement says.
- "The positive outlook, however, is not without potential
downside risks, e.g., tight and volatile energy markets, rising
inflation expectations in some economies, and the spread of protectionist
tendencies. We will remain vigilant to these developments,"
the group says.
- The G7 called for all parties to show the "political
will and flexibility necessary" to revive the World Trade
Organisation's Doha Round of market-opening talks.
- The negotiations were suspended in July because of deep disagreements
between rich and poor countries over barriers to farm trade.
- The G7 comprises the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain,
France, Italy and Canada. The group is meeting in conjunction
with the annual deliberations of the International Monetary Fund
and World Bank, being held this year in Singapore. http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2006/09/16/g7_sees_strong_growth_and_flags_potential_risk/

21, 2006: Markets drag; jobless claims jump; Yahoo eyes Facebook;
Wal-Mart cuts drug prices.
MSNBC.COM September 21, 2006 NEW YORK - Wall Street fell sharply
Thursday after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve surprised investors
by announcing that its broadest measure of manufacturing activity
fell to a negative reading for the first time since April 2003,
renewing investor fears that the economy could be cooling too
quickly.
- The Philadelphia Fed said its index of current activity fell
from 18.5 in August to negative 0.4 this month. The regional
bank said indicators for general activity, new orders and shipments
fell substantially from August and suggested no growth for September.
- The pullback after Wednesdays big stock rally illustrates
how sensitive Wall Street remains to any news that might squelch
hopes of a gradual economic slowdown. Investors are concerned
the Federal Reserve has perhaps slowed the economy too quickly
as it sought to contain inflation. The Fed raised interest rates
17 straight times over two years before leaving them unchanged
for the second straight time Wednesday.

- FDA APPROVES SPRAYING OF VIRUSES ON OUR FOOD SUPPLY??
- [Ednote: I heard this on CNN News as well] - By Byron J.
Richards, CCN - 8-28-2006 - On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA
approved a viral cocktail to be sprayed on foods we eat. This
is the first time viruses have been approved for use as food
additives. The FDA wants you to believe it will be safe to consume
these viruses every day for the rest of your life with no adverse
health effects. This is a monumental announcement by the FDA,
indicating they are throwing all caution to the wind regarding
the safety of our food supply. Are you willing to stand in line
for a virus-laden sandwich? How do you like the idea of buying
virus-infested food for your family? The first virally contaminated
foods entering our food supply with the blessings of the FDA
will be luncheon meat and poultry. Live viruses will be sprayed
on foods such as cold cuts, sausages, hot dogs, sliced turkey,
and chicken. At issue is the very real problem of a poor quality
FDA-approved food supply that is already full of diseased and
sickly animals, many of them imported from other countries. The
use of antibiotics during growth and radiation during food processing
is required by the fast-food animal farms owned by multi-national
companies to cover up the horrendous health of the animals they
wish to feed to Americans. Animals in poor health are a friendly
place for bacteria to grow and prosper, especially after such
meat goes to market. Rather than address the source of the problem,
the FDA wants to add another adulteration into our food supply.
The stated goal of the new FDA-approved viruses is to kill a
rare bacterium known as Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium
is killed by cooking; however, it poses a problem in meats that
are cooked during processing and not cooked again prior to consumption,
so it can readily infect foods such as deli meats. Yes, the FDA
plans to use one infectious organism to fight another. The carnage
of battle will end up in your digestive tract along with the
victorious live viruses, which the FDA assures us will not attack
human cells. However, they cannot possibly be certain the viruses
will not attack the friendly bacteria that make up the lining
of your digestive tract. The FDA approval was based on scant
human testing, mostly from unrelated medical experiments. Such
safety data is woefully inadequate to determine safe ingestion
of a specific product by humans over the course of a lifetime.
TURNING LOOSE THE BACTERIA-KILLING VIRUSES
The company that produces these biotech viruses is Baltimore-based
Intralytix, Inc. The viruses are known as bacteriophages, viruses
that kill bacteria, or phages for short. Phages have been around
a long time, living as parasites inside many bacteria. Intralytix
uses biotechnology to grow viral phages in a culture with Listeria,
in theory teaching the viruses to recognize the bacteria. The
FDA-approved cocktail contains six different viruses intended
to attack one strain of bacteria. This concoction is then sprayed
on food. If Listeria is present in the food, the bacteria will
ingest the viruses. This results in massive viral replication
inside the bacteria, until such point as the bacteria simply
bursts. This battle results in significant production of bacterial
poisons called "endotoxins", as the bacteria tries
to defend itself. When the bacteria burst, these endotoxins are
released. These, along with the victorious live viruses, will
now be on the food that will be eaten. The FDA and Intralytix
would like us to believe that these viruses will only attack
the specified bacteria they are intended to kill and will be
harmless to humans. I'm sorry to burst their bubble, but they
can't possibly guarantee such safety. It is true that the viruses,
at least at this time, cannot recognize human cells. However,
the virus can potentially recognize normal bacterial cells in
the human digestive tract and may be able to adapt to infect
one or more of these friendly bacteria.
THE FDA CERTAINLY KNOWS THERE ARE RISKS.. Full story: http://www.rense.com/general73/virus.htm

- VERICHIP INJECTS RFID INTO IMMIGRATION DEBATE
- VeriChip Corp. chairman Scott Silverman has alarmed civil
libertarians by promoting the company's human tracking device
as a way to identify immigrants and guest workers, said privacy
advocates Katherine Albrecht, founder of Consumers Against Supermarket
Invasion and Numbering (CASPIAN), and Liz McIntyre. Headquartered
in Delray Beach, Fla., VeriChip executives describe the company
as "develops, markets and sells radio frequency identification,
or RFID, systems used to identify, locate and protect people
and assets." The e-mail from Albrecht and McIntyre said
Silverman appeared on the Fox News Channel earlier this week,
the morning after President Bush called for high-tech measures
to clamp down on Mexican immigrants.
- Albrecht and McIntyre warn a government-sanctioned chipping
program, such as the one suggested by Silverman could quickly
be expanded to include U.S. citizens, as well. The VeriChip is
a glass encapsulated RFID silicon chip injected under the skin.
The tag transmits radio waves to a reader.
- The Department of Homeland Security's Privacy Office has
issued a draft report that strongly criticizes privacy and security
risks of using radio frequency identification devices for human
identification. Public comment on the paper is being taken until
May 22. The authors of a New Hampshire bill to make the state
the first to reject the REAL ID Act have cited financial and
constitutional concerns about its implementation. But several
conservative Christian groups that have endorsed the New Hampshire
proposal are largely motivated by their belief that the law is
a sign of the apocalypse. If you must have a chip in your shoulder,
or arm, you can always buy a do-it-yourself kit. The gizmag article
says Amal Graafstra "heard about RFID being used to tag
cats and dogs and decided he wanted to explore what was possible.
He now has two RFID implants - a 3mm by 13mm EM4102 glass RFID
tag in his left hand and a 2mm by 12mm Philips HITAG 2048 S implant
with crypto-security features and 255 bytes of read/write memory
storage space in his right hand. Almost everybody now has
a piercing, tattoos, or silicone. Why not get the chip and be
original?" http://techsearch.cmp.com/blog/archives/2006/05/verichip_inject.html?loc=software
