Is the Internet the Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy?
By Melanie Lamport
The Bible says knowledge shall increase at the end of the days.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (Daniel 12:4 King James Version)
Perhaps the greatest evidence for the rapid growth of information is the Internet and the cell phone.
- There are approximately 2 billion Internet users today (Source: Internet World Stats)
- There are over 232 million websites related to a variety of content.
- There are currently 4.6 billion cell phone users worldwide. (Source: CBS, Click here to read why)
Mankind, thanks to the Internet, is suffering from Information Overload.
Wordpress, Firefox and Google support the “law of free supply and demand:” When the supply of bandwidth is virtually free, it creates ubiquitous demand.
Subsequent verses in the Book of Daniel make it clear that God doesn’t even want anyone reading the last chapter of the Book of Daniel lest they start to “understand.”
And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end-time. Many will be purged, purified and refined; but the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. 12:9-12
New Revised vs. King James
Every translation of the Bible except The New Revised Standard Edition (NRSV) reflects the sentiment of “King James:” That God is worried about “too much knowledge.”
The NRSV edition, the only Bible translation that is widely ecumenical, is worried about “too much evil:”
But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, and evil shall increase.
So according to God, if the book isn’t sealed up, a bunch of people will be running around increasing either “knowledge” or “evil.”
You’ve probably already figured out what’s wrong with the Biblical explanation. Information doesn’t equal knowledge.
Keeping Knowledge from the Masses
What if the Internet is an ingenious and nefarious tactic to keep knowledge from the masses?
Did you know that the 1%ers have a responsibility to share knowledge with the masses?
The 1%ers believe that the “true knowledge” of the universe belongs to them (the Economic Elite of the World), but they are bound by the Rosicrucian Creed: “The elite have a responsibility to share the true knowledge with the masses.” [1]
The Internet is a way for the Economic Elite to satisfy the Rosicrucian Creed and still keep us in the dark.
Just another Palestinian year
By Khaled Amayreh
Israeli settlement expansion continued to annul any chances of peace, while the 2011 Arab Spring buoyed Palestinian hopes, at least for a while, writes Khaled Amayreh in Ramallah
Like in previous years, 2011 was more or less another "normal" year for the Palestinians as Israel, which is ruled by a racist coalition of right wing and religious parties, continued to narrow Palestinian horizons, effectively putting an end to any realistic hopes for establishing a viable and territorially contiguous Palestinian state on the West Bank.
Psychologically, most Palestinians were in a slightly better mood in 2011 due to the outbreak of the Arab Spring, which many Palestinians view as a promising development of strategic proportions and a potentially important asset for the Palestinian cause.
American Intransigence and Pakistani Deception: the War on Terrorism
By Mahboob A. Khawaja, Ph.D.
When George Bush called General Musharaf at midnight a day after the 9/11 attacks, he spelled out the doctrine - “either you are with us or against us.” The Pakistani self-appointed President and military dictator had no sense of the time and history to THINK what scenario he was tackling to act or react. As most dictators do, they align themselves with any possibility to reinforce their self- interest and self- survival. This was the opportunity that Commander Bush enticed the four stars Pakistani General and dictator to accept and act right away.
The Inauguration Of Police State USA 1962
By Melanie Lamport
“The Best Way To Control The Opposition Is To Lead It Ourselves,” Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Global Research, January 1, 2012
“With minimal media debate, at a time when Americans were celebrating the New Year with their loved ones, the “National Defense Authorization Act " H.R. 1540 was signed into law by President Barack Obama. The actual signing took place in Hawaii on the 31st of December.
According to Obama's "signing statement", the threat of Al Qaeda to the Security of the Homeland constitutes a justification for repealing fundamental rights and freedoms, with a stroke of the pen.”
Globalresearch.ca is the home to F. W. Engdahl, a respected scholar, who approaches the New World Order conspiracy from calm reasoned perspective: As opposed to Alex Jones at Inforwars.com who rants and raves about the Globalists: Neither of them have any real action plan. If you are not a familiar with the works of F.W. Engdahl and the reality of a New World Order conspiracy, visit Michel Chossudovsky’s [CIA controlled] Globalresearch.ca website. [1]
According to Chossudovsky:
“The passage of NDAA is intimately related to Washington's global military agenda. The military pursuit of Worldwide hegemony also requires the "Militarization of the Homeland", namely the demise of the American Republic.”
“To say that January 1st 2012 is "A Sad Day for America" is a gross understatement.”
“The signing of NDAA (HR 1540) into law is tantamount to the militarization of law enforcement, the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Inauguration in 2012 of Police State USA.”
Miss America: Auditioning for Center Stage
by Walter Brasch
Tucked between the New Hampshire primary and Ground Hog Day, and directly competing against an NFL playoff game, is Saturday's annual Miss America pageant.
Although the headquarters is still near Atlantic City, where it originated in 1921, the pageant—don’t call it a beauty contest—has been a part of the Las Vegas entertainment scene for eight years. Apparently, the Las Vegas motto of “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas” wrapped itself around the pageant as well, with TV viewership dropping lower almost every year.
ABC-TV divorced Miss America in 2004, claiming irreconcilable differences. Viewership had fallen from a peak of 26.7 million in 1991 to an all-time low of 9.8 million, barely enough to keep a prime-time show on the air. The pageant’s CEO, trying to preserve what dignity was left, stated “We needed to find a better partner, one that better understands our values.”
Barbour and the Culture of Death and Violence
By Michael Collins
"After issuing just eight pardons in his first seven years, Barbour pardoned 208 convicts, 41 of them murderers, sex offenders or child molesters, during his last 48 hours in office." Time Jan 13
It's a big day for murderers in Mississippi, sex offenders and child molesters too! Just before leaving office, Republican Governor Haley Barbour pardoned 208 convicts in a stunning act of candor and honesty in behalf of the party and system he has served so well. (Image)
Tired of the same old script featuring religious values and law and order year in and year out by politicians you just know are lying? Your search for honesty is over. Haley Barbour is the poster boy for the culture of death that pervades the political leadership.
Why would Barbour do such a thing? In his own words, he told us: "I have no question in my mind that these men have repented, have been redeemed, have come back hard working to prepare themselves to go out into the world…" CNN Jan 13
Go out in the world and do what? Murder, maim, commit sexual assaults against children and adults?
Congress Gives Obama His Hitlerian Enabling Act
by Carl Osgood
Dec. 19—Last week, the U.S. Congress voted to give President Obama a Nazi-style Enabling Act which gives him the legal cover to rip up the Constitution, and enforce a dictatorship over the United States by "disappearing" anyone he designates as an enemy of the United States. This comes after Obama has already arrogated to himself, the right to designate American citizens as targets for assassination, as in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen Obama assassinated by means of a drone strike in Yemen.
Britain may be a Christian country… but its government marches to the beat of another drum
Stuart Littlewood
Prime minister David Cameron has told Britain: "We are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so."
He was speaking on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the King James version of the Bible which, he said, had helped to give Britain a set of values and morals that make us what we are today.
THE ENEMY EXPATRIATION ACT
ANONYMOUS
H.R. 3166: Enemy Expatriation Act (#EEA)
The Enemy Expatriation Act is yet another treasonous bill similar to the National Defense Authorization Act that was signed into law by President Obama on New Years' Eve. The NDAA, which authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens on U.S. soil, was met with outrage from the American public. The media largely refused to cover the NDAA until it was too late, and the bill had been signed into law. We are now faced with a similar situation. The Enemy Expatriation Act has been introduced in the House, and again, the media refuses to cover it. The American public have the right to know about a bill that could revoke their United States citizenship, and the continuing media blackout poses a serious threat to the freedoms this country pledges to provide its citizens.
Saving the Post Office: The Models of Kiwibank and Japan
by Ellen Brown
Neither rain nor sleet nor snow may have stopped the Pony Express, but the nation’s oldest and second largest employer is now under attack. Claiming the Postal Service is bankrupt, critics are pushing legislation that would defuse the postal crisis by breaking the backs of the postal workers’ unions and mandating widespread layoffs. But the “crisis” is an artificial one, created by Congress itself.
In 2006, Congress passed the Postal Accountability Enhancement Act (PAEA), which forced the USPS to put aside billions of dollars to pay for the health benefits of employees, many of whom hadn’t even been hired yet.
