Famous Quote:

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry
into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both
emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums
of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the
mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of
the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded
by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly
so. How do I know? For this is what I have done.
And I am Caesar. – Julius Caesar


Good Morning Everyone!
The article I am posting today is very disturbing. This article will put our
cognitive dissonance to rolling.
Let me just say that I believe that all I have been telling you about the
New World Order and its tentacles in our beloved country
is true. We have not had a president since 1913 who
has honored our Constitution and as they went so went our freedoms.
Little by little, the protections afforded us by the Constitution have
been eroded away. Now we see pro-war and anti-war protestors fighting
it out with rhetoric and deeds, we see the Constitution ignored and
everyday our freedoms eroded a little more. Many do not want to believe it
but it is true.We are now in the New World Order and do not want to
believe the truth as it stares us right in the face.Look at the news
about the United Nations.

I ask, What has this august body of little tyrants done to help
the United States? Well they have control of our national
monuments and they have a lot of our money they have stolen
through our "politicians". Here is an article in the World Net Daily
that should outrage everyone of us but I fear that the people do
not want to believe the truth.

Hold on and read this one. It is long but well worth thinking about.
God Help Us! Watch out fort he Patriot 2 Act that is now being
discussed in our austere bodies of government!

THE NEW WORLD DISORDER
Move over Constitution,
we've got U.N. charter
Scholar: Iraq war maneuvers play into hands of internationalists

A renowned constitutional scholar predicts a United States-led war
with Iraq could result not just in the loss of Saddam Hussein's
sovereignty, but that of the U.S. as well, which in turn leads to
the loss of personal liberty for individual American citizens.

It's not that Herb Titus is anti-war. He just thinks President
George W. Bush is going about it the wrong way. Titus sees
a hidden danger in the Bush administration's need to appease
the international community by working through the diplomatic
channels of the United Nations Security Council.

Security Council members in New York continue to debate proposals
on the table that range from declaring Saddam Hussein in material
breach of Resolution 1441 and invading now, to giving Hussein
another six months to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors.

A one time dean of Regent School of Law and 1996 vice presidential
candidate on the U.S. Taxpayers Party ticket with Howard Phillips,
Titus is considered one of America's leading constitutional scholars.
He's also an author and practicing attorney specializing in constitutional
litigation and strategy.

"Presidents have substituted Security Council authorization for constitutional
declaration of war," Titus told WorldNetDaily.

And in doing so, he argues, Bush and his predecessors play into the hands
of internationalists who assert only the U.N. can authorize war and view the
U.N. charter as trumping the U.S. Constitution.

"Article I, Section 8 is inoperative," said Titus, referring to the Constitution's
mandate that the decision to go to war come from Congress: "The Congress
shall have power to ... declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and
make rules concerning captures on land and water."

"Letters of marque and reprisal" refers to limited actions of war and was often
used in the late 18th century to authorize surgical attacks on lawless Muslim
pirates harbored by Tunisia and Libya. The "captures" cited as the third
constitutional military option before Congress refers to the capture of naval vessels.

"The declaration of war is both a legal question and a practical
decision," Titus explains. "At the time of the drafting of the Constitution,
two factors were relevant: 'Do you have good, legal reason?' and 'If you
have legal grounds for war, is it practical to declare war?'

"While presidents have not said as a matter of law that the U.N.
charter trumps the Constitution, the emphasis on the practical matter
[seeking U.N. approval so that military action against Iraq isn't viewed
by the international community as aggression or U.S. imperialism
reinforces the legal claim of the internationalists," Titus continued.

He concludes that Congress has failed on both counts in allowing
presidents to make both the legal and practical decisions, and is
complicit in the presidents' giving up American sovereignty to the U.N.

Congress and war

Congress has not formally declared war since World War II.

In response to the Vietnam War, it passed the War Powers Act in
1973, which requires the president to seek congressional approval
before or shortly after ordering any military action abroad, including limited airstrikes.

At least one congressman tried to adhere to the Constitution.
Last October, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, proposed a declaration
of war to his colleagues. Instead, Congress passed a resolution
that authorized the use of military force against Iraq, provided the
international community supports it.

"Sadly, the leadership of both parties on the International Relations
Committee fails to understand that the Constitution requires a
congressional declaration of war before our troops are sent into
battle," Paul said after his proposal was voted down. "One Republican
member stated that the constitutional requirement that Congress
declare war is an anachronism and should no longer be followed, while
a Democratic member said that a declaration of war would be 'frivolous.' I
don’t think most Americans believe our Constitution is outdated or
frivolous, and they expect Congress to follow it."

"It's an undeclared, illegal war. Not only do I object to the war," Paul
told WorldNetDaily, "but I object to the way the president is going about it."

The Iraq resolution, which came through the International Relations Committee
and was promoted by committee Chairman Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., was
proposed by Bush.

"Terrorists willing to commit suicide in order to kill large numbers of innocents
cannot be stopped by the familiar conventions of deterrence," Hyde said
in a statement released while the committee was deliberating the resolution.
"To assume that these terrorists and others will remain unarmed by
Saddam is an assumption with a deadly potential. ... The president has
demonstrated his determination to act to remove this threat and has
asked the Congress for an authorizing resolution. ... In the name of
those brave souls, both living and departed, who purchased our
freedom, let us now act," he urged.

Worse than declaring nothing, Paul maintains, is that Congress transferred
the authority to go to war to the president.

"We should never have one man making the decision to send young men
to war 6,000 miles from our shore," Paul told WND. "We still haven't admitted
to the 150,000 suffering from Gulf War Syndrome – I'm convinced as a
physician there is a syndrome. We shouldn't be doing this so casually."

As WorldNetDaily reported, a group of Democratic lawmakers, soldiers
and families of servicemen agree with Paul and filed a lawsuit in federal
court, claiming war with Iraq would be illegal and unconstitutional, and
accusing lawmakers of unlawfully ceding the decision to President Bush.

"The president is not a king," the group's lead attorney, John Bonifaz, said
at a news conference announcing the suit. "He does not have the power to
wage war against another country absent a congressional declaration of war.
Congress has not declared war."

U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro dismissed the suit Monday, ruling the
judicial branch can only judge the war policies of the other two branches
of government when they're in conflict. In this case, Congress and the
president are in agreement.

"If you want constitutional government," said Titus, "don't look to the
courts for your salvation. Look to yourselves and who you're electing to office."

Bush is not the first commander in chief to be sued over his military
orders. A similar lawsuit was filed against President George H.W. Bush
before the 1991 Gulf War by 54 members of Congress. It was denied by
a federal judge in December 1990, who ruled the lawmakers did not have
legal standing.

WorldNetDaily reported in 1999 that 26 congressional members filed
a lawsuit against former President Clinton for violating both the Constitution
and the War Powers Act by allowing U.S. forces to participate in NATO air
attacks against Yugoslavia. The suit maintained that, according to the War
Powers Act, Clinton must seek congressional approval for the Balkan war
if he wished to pursue it beyond 60 days.

U.N.: Higher authority?

Bush and other administration officials present Iraqi disarmament
as the crucial next step in the "war on terror."

In his State of the Union address, Bush cited evidence from intelligence
sources, secret communications and statements by people now in
custody that Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of
Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network.

Secretary of State Colin Powell subsequently laid out the Bush
administration case in detail before the Security Council and congressional
panels, claiming an al-Qaida cell based in Baghdad coordinates movement
of people, money and supplies to and throughout Iraq and was responsible
for the ricin plot in London and other planned terrorist attacks against
countries including France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Russia.

Titus asserts officials use the word "war" as a "rhetorical device" with no
more meaning than the phrase "war on drugs" or "war on poverty." He
said the term is designed to illicit an emotional response to silence detractors.

If the term were taken seriously, Titus thinks Bush should have submitted his
cause for war in careful and specific form to members of Congress last fall
just as Powell did for members of the Security Council. He argues Congress
didn't act on the basis of specific evidence and that's why the resolution
authorizes the use of force but doesn't outright declare war.

While the Iraq resolution enables Bush to abide by the War Powers Act,
because "authorization of military force" is not "declaration of war," Titus
concurs with Paul that war on Iraq does not pass constitutional muster.

So Bush – and presidents before him – instead seeks a "higher authority," says
Titus, and subscribes to the rules of international law.

The U.N. charter was signed on Jun 26, 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion
of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into
force on Oct. 24, 1945.

Although signed as a treaty, Titus said the charter was crafted more as
a constitution for world government. Its preamble reads like the Constitution, referring
to "we the people" as opposed to "we the member-nation governments." It also has
an amendment clause similar to Article 5 that allows amendments to the charter
approved by a two-thirds majority of the General Assembly.

Titus argues because it's a global constitution, the U.N. charter is illegitimate
because it created a supranational government that derived its powers not
from the consent of the governed but from the consent of the peoples' government
officials who have no authority to bind either the American people nor any other
nation's people to any terms of the charter.

Unlike the Constitution, the U.N. charter doesn't authorize war, only police
acts to keep the peace. In fact, the charter's preamble states the main
objective of the signatories was to "save succeeding generations from the
scourge of war."

This may, in part, explain the uphill battle Bush has faced in securing
Security Council approval for the use of military force against Iraq.

Paul maintains "police acts" is merely "1984 newspeak" for war.

"Police acts are to keep the peace. But there's no war in Iraq right now.
We can't go there to establish peace if there's no war," he said.

Four years ago, Paul founded The Liberty Committee, an organization
committed to rolling back the "socialists' authoritarian agenda" at work
in the national legislative process. Sixteen of Paul's House colleagues
joined a liberty caucus. Titus serves as senior legal adviser for the group.

The group touts one example of its successes on its website.

It cites legislation that was thwarted in December 2001 that would
have "accelerated the transformation of the U.S. military into the
standing army of the U.N. – a long-sought goal of the world socialists."

Ironically, Hyde painted the Iraq resolution in terms of America asserting
its sovereignty.

"For those convinced of Saddam’s murderous intentions, the debate has
centered on whether or not we should focus our efforts on assembling a
coalition of friends and allies and seek the enhanced legitimacy that
approval by the United Nations might render to our actions. But I believe
that is the wrong debate," he said in his statement last fall. "We have no
choice but to act as a sovereign country prepared to defend ourselves, with
our friends and allies if possible, but alone if necessary. There can be
no safety if we tie our fate to the cooperation of others, only a hope
that all will be well, a hope that eventually must fail."

Despite the rhetoric, Congress only equipped Bush with an
authorization of military force, not a declaration of war.

The difference, say Paul and Titus, boils down to subscribing to
the U.N.'s world constitution, instead of our own.

"I don't believe in resolutions that cite the U.N. as authority for our
military actions," Paul said. "America has a sovereign right to
defend itself, and we don't need U.N. permission or approval to
act in the interests of American national security. The decision
to go to war should be made by the U.S. Congress alone.
Congress should give the president full war-making authority, rather
than binding him with resolutions designed to please our U.N. detractors."

The difference is also a question of whether or not the military
force achieves victory, according to Paul, who maintains history
bears witness to the importance of a declaration of war.

"When Congress issued clear declarations of war against Japan
and Germany during World War II, the nation was committed and
victory was achieved," he said. "When Congress shirks its duty
and avoids declaring war, as with Korea and Vietnam, the nation is
less committed and the goals are less clear.

"When you don't declare war for national security reasons, you wind
up conducting war for political reasons and you don't get victory," he concluded.


My Note: Remember that VietNam and Korea were "Police Actions" and what was the
results?

My Prayer is that Jesus will come soon for His Church! Here
is a great scripture for today. This is the true answer!

Isaiah 62
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and
as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never
hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep
not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Good Evening Everyone!

Good Morning Everyone. It is a windy but beautiful day in Georgia. Well all
of the news is revolving around our soon war with Iraq. This is a perilous and
trying time for our beloved country. I hope all Christians are praying for the
President and our country. I hope we are all touched with regard to praying
for a revival in America where we see the Spirit of God move upon this land
in a mighty way.

Are you getting bored with all the same ole news? Well
that is part of the conditioning we get from the news media. After a while
people get sick of hearing the same thing over and over and just tune it out.

Remember that the New World Order crowd is very active and see their goal
in site. Order out of chaos is their word and they will not stop until they place
the Anti Christ on the throne of world power. The funny thing in all of this is
that Satan knows scripture too and he knows his time is winding down as
these things unfold. Therefore, it is interesting to observe this battle as it
takes place.

Don't loose hope. God is in control and we are looking for that "Blessed appearing when our Jesus
will call the church home.

Charles Stanley , at In Touch Ministries, wrote a devotional this month regarding the
rapture. I pray it blesses you. In all of the tumult believers can still
smile and say, He is coming soon!" Have a blessed

The Rapture of the Church
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

When the Bible says that believers will be “caught up” in the air with the
Lord, the literal Greek phrase calls for us to be “snatched away.” Our term
“Rapture” is the derivative of this wording.

Jesus said, “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels
in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36 niv). Therefore,
we should resist any temptation to engage in “date setting” as to the
Rapture’s timing. What has been revealed is that Jesus will come to call
His believers to meet Him in the clouds; this “snatching away” will
occur at some point prior to the inception of the Great Tribulation.

Christ’s own words are the reason for this view. He warned us to be alert
for His imminent return (Matthew 24:42, 44), and a pre-tribulational
Rapture is the only position that allows for His at-any-moment, surprise arrival.

The Second Coming, then, is best regarded as a separate event, when
the Lord returns following the seven-year Great Tribulation to defeat His
enemies. At that time, Satan will be bound, and he will remain confined
during Christ’s 1,000-year millennial reign. Afterward, the Lord will conduct
the Great White Throne Judgment in which unbelievers of all time will be
judged and cast into a place called hell, eternally separated from a loving,
living, and just God.

Believers, however, will enjoy eternity in the presence of Perfection,
beginning at the Rapture. What a glorious event to anticipate!

Good morning everyone. Well today I have finally found the article that I would like to
comment on this week. I know this one will blow you away as you read the words
printed about our former President, Bill Clinton. Let me just say at the outset that
this article does not shock me at all because I heard about this plan 4 years ago
at a God's News Behind The News Bible Prophecy
Conference in Tampa, Florida. Imagine this, Secretary General, Bill Clinton! Several speakers at
that conference told us that this was the real goal of Mr. Clinton.

We know he is a Globalist and One Worlder so this should not suprise any of us.
The interesting thing here is the fact that now we can look back and see why this
man was protected through thick and thin in every illegal thing he did. Why the
Congress would not touch him even when it was proved that he had committed
perjury and if Americans knew how this man sold us out to the Chinese
Communist, they would be sick.The One World Government crowd will
protect their own. Bill & Hillary at the UN. What a scary scenario.

Well payday is almost here and he will be the first Secretary General from
the USA. If Mr. Clinton goes to the UN, you will see the push for Global Taxes
and loss of more freedoms for the American People.

It is truly an exciting time to be alive as we watch the Lord allow these people
to build the Satanic Kingdom they think will bring peace to the world. We know
differently and we, as the old saying goes, "have read the last chapter in The
Book"!

Take a look and think about it!

God Bless

THE
NEW WORLD DISORDER
Bill Clinton: Next U.N. chief?
Report: Former president eyed to replace Kofi Annan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: February 19, 2003
1:00 a.m. Eastern



WorldNetDaily.com

Has former President Bill Clinton hit the campaign trail again?

That's the word according to a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist
who reports a "major international move" is afoot to help install the
ex-CEO of the most powerful nation as the CEO of the most powerful
world body – the United Nations.

Sunday's "Dateline D.C." column, which the paper says is written by a
Washington-based British journalist and political observer, named no
names but cited reports that Clinton had already lined up support for his
candidacy for the secretary-general position from Germany, France,
England, Ireland, New Zealand, a handful of African states, Morocco
and Egypt. The Tribune-Review also reports Russia has made it known
it would not object and added that China is also a big fan of the former president.

According to the Tribune-Review columnist, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan
is "under pressure to resign before the end of his second term in 2006.
" Should he do so, the General Assembly would select his replacement,
on the recommendation of the U.N. Security Council. This may come as early as this Fall.

"This is the first I've heard about it and it's certainly not true," Annan's deputy
spokesperson Hua Jiang told WorldNetDaily. "As far as we know, he has the full trust
of all the members."

Jiang said Annan, who took over as U.N. chief in 1997, intends to fill out his entire
term through 2006.

A PBS documentary, which aired earlier this month, offered highlights of Annan's
U.N. career. A low point came in 1994 with the genocide in Rwanda. Annan
calls it "the greatest catastrophe the U.N. ever faced." High points include the
independence of East Timor and accepting Norway's Nobel Peace Prize in 2001.

Odds favor an American secretary general next time around because there has
never been one from North America.

Clinton's fund-raising prowess, according to the Tribune-Review, is also viewed
as just what the doctor ordered for the 50-year-old U.N. headquarters building
on 42nd Street in New York, that is in need of a serious overhaul.

A rested and refreshed Clinton recently appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" program,
a customary pit stop for modern-day political campaigns. He made repeated references
to the U.N. throughout the interview.

Responding to King's query about Secretary of State Colin Powell's presentation on
Iraq to the Security Council, Clinton sounded more like a U.N. diplomat than a former
U.S. president.

"The most important thing [Powell] said from the point of view from the United Nations
is that we had intelligence and photographs which seemed to prove that Iraq was almost
taking these chemical stocks, at least, out of the backdoor while the inspectors were
going through the front door, that they were moving things. And if that's true, it means
Mr. Blix and his inspectors might never get to do the job that they were appointed to do.
So I think that we need to listen to Blix, listen to Secretary Powell and I still hope the
United Nations can act together on this and I think there's still a chance we can," he said.

"And, you know, there's still a chance that Saddam Hussein will come to his senses
and disarm," he added.

Clinton stressed the need for abiding by international law and making sure action taken
against Saddam Hussein is coordinated through the global body.

"We're trying to get rid of the chemical and biological storehouse in the hands of a tyrant ...
The second thing we're trying to do is to build a global alliance for peace and freedom and
security. So if we can do it with broad support within the U.N., it would be much better," Clinton said.
"If we can get, based on this evidence, and letting the inspectors do a little more work if we can
get an agreement with the French and the Germans and the others who are skeptical and who
think that we've been too eager to do this all along, that would be better and it might give us a
chance to resolve this peacefully. I think the greatest victory of all would be if Saddam Hussein
saw the whole world arrayed against him and thought, you know, the jig was up."

Throughout the duration of the interview, the 42nd American president took credit for
keeping a lid on the nuclear showdown with North Korea, now threatening to bubble
over and for giving the approval for the first Israeli astronaut to go into space aboard
the space shuttle Columbia.

"On the day that he went up, former Prime Minister Barak called and thanked me
and reminded me that he and I had done this deal to allow this remarkable human
being to go into space," Clinton recalled.

In addition to increasing his visibility in the media, Clinton is taking a cue from his
Democratic predecessor former President Jimmy Carter and conducting international
diplomacy. He is slated to participate in the World Economic Forum in Davos
next week. The forum is part of the U.N.'s effort to mediate a solution to the North Korean
nuclear issue.

He also has been promoting his William J. Clinton Foundation, which has collaborated
with the Harvard AIDS Institute, Columbia University Medical School and other
organizations, to help countries battling AIDS develop better systems to deliver care.
Clinton also co-chairs the International AIDS Trust with Nelson Mandela.

A call and e-mail seeking comment from Clinton's press office in New York have not
been returned. A spokesperson told WorldNetDaily that the staff needs two
weeks' notice to respond to press inquiries.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What freedoms are we loosing? Too many I am afraid. The Patriot II Act
that is due to hit the Congress in the weeks ahead should send a chill
down all of us. This is for real and most Americans will still say it cannot
happen here. Why? Take a look and think about it!


TOTAL POLICE STATE TAKEOVER
The Secret Patriot Act II Destroys What Is Left of American Liberty

A Brief Analysis of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act 2003, Also Known as Patriot Act II
By Alex Jones
www.infowars.com
(Posted Feb 10, 2003)

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Tex) told the Washington Times that no member of
Congress was allowed to read the first Patriot Act that was passed by the House
on October 27, 2001. The first Patriot Act was universally decried by civil libertarians
and Constitutional scholars from across the political spectrum. William Safire, while
writing for the New York Times, described the first Patriot Act's powers by saying
that President Bush was seizing dictatorial control.

On February 7, 2003 the Center for Public Integrity, a non-partisan public interest
think-tank in DC, revealed the full text of the Domestic Security Enhancement Act
of 2003. The classified document had been leaked to them by an unnamed source
inside the Federal government. The document consisted of a 33-page section by
section analysis of the accompanying 87-page bill.


*Note: On February 10, 2003 I discovered that not only was there a house version that
had been covertly brought to Hastert, but that many provisions of the now public
Patriot Act II had already been introduced as pork barrel riders on Senate Bill S. 22.
Dozens of subsections and even the titles of the subsections are identical to those
in the House version. This is very important because it catches the Justice Department
in a bald-faced lie. The Justice Department claimed that the secret legislation brought
into the House was only for study, and that at this time there was no intention to try
and pass it. Now upon reading S. 22, it is clear that the leadership of the Senate is fully
aware of the Patriot Act II, and have passed these riders out of their committees into the
full bill. I spent two hours scanning through S. 22 and, let me tell you, it is a nightmare
for anyone who loves liberty. It even contains the Our Lady of Peace Act that registers
all gun owners. It bans the private sale of all firearms, creates a Federal ballistics database,
and much more.

There are other bills in the Senate that grant the Federal government sweeping powers. S.45
states in section one that the office for State and local government coordination for Homeland
Security will no longer just oversee, but that now local cities critical functions will be headed
by a Federal director. On Tuesday, February 11th, we noted a story in The Times-Picayune
with the headline: Nagin announces major overhaul of City Hall --New Homeland Security office
to oversee cops, firemen, emergency agency. The Federal power-grab taking place is
widespread and all Americans must mobilize to resist it.

Another interesting bill is S. 16. S. 16 is a smorgasbord of Federal funding and control over
local police departments and needs to be examined closely.

S. 89, The Universal National Service Act of 2003 is the hallmark of an authoritarian society.
The description of the bill is, "To provide for the common defense by requiring that all young
persons in the United States, including women, perform a period of military service of civilian
service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes.
" We have looked at some of the programs that the Federal government has already been
setting up for service here in the "homeland" and they include East German-style tattletale
squads of every type, which are just basically a super TIPS program. The nightmare goes
on and on. Check it out for yourself.

The Patriot Act II bill itself is stamped "Confidential -Not for Distribution."
Upon reading the analysis and bill, I was stunned by the scientifically crafted tyranny contained in the legislation.
The Justice Department Office of Legislative Affairs admits that they had indeed covertly transmitted a copy
of the legislation to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, (R-Il) and the Vice President of the United States,
Dick Cheney as well as the executive heads of federal law enforcement agencies.


It is important to note that no member of Congress was allowed to see the first Patriot Act before its
passage, and that no debate was tolerate by the House and Senate leadership. The intentions of
the White House and Speaker Hastert concerning Patriot Act II appear to be a carbon copy replay
of the events that led to the unprecedented passage of the first Patriot Act.

There are two glaring areas that need to be looked at concerning this new legislation:


1. The secretive tactics being used by the White House and Speaker Hastert to keep even the
existence of this legislation secret would be more at home in Communist China than in the
United States. The fact that Dick Cheney publicly managed the steamroller passage of the first
Patriot Act, insuring that no one was allowed to read it and publicly threatening members of
Congress that if they didn’t vote in favor of it that they would be blamed for the next terrorist
attack, is by the White House’s own definition terrorism. The move to clandestinely craft and
then bully passage of any legislation by the Executive Branch is clearly an impeachable offence.


2. The second Patriot Act is a mirror image of powers that Julius Caesar and Adolf Hitler
gave themselves. Whereas the First Patriot Act only gutted the First, Third, Fourth and Fifth
Amendments, and seriously damaged the Seventh and the Tenth, the Second Patriot Act
reorganizes the entire Federal government as well as many areas of state government under
the dictatorial control of the Justice Department, the Office of Homeland Security and the
FEMA NORTHCOM military command. The Domestic Security Enhancement Act 2003, also
known as the Second Patriot Act is by its very structure the definition of dictatorship.


I challenge all Americans to study the new Patriot Act and to compare it to the Constitution,
Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence. Ninety percent of the act has nothing to do with
terrorism and is instead a giant Federal power-grab with tentacles reaching into every facet of
our society. It strips American citizens of all of their rights and grants the government and its
private agents total immunity.


Here is a quick thumbnail sketch of just some of the draconian measures encapsulated within
this tyrannical legislation:


SECTION 501 (Expatriation of Terrorists) expands the Bush administration’s “enemy combatant”
definition to all American citizens who “may” have violated any provision of Section 802 of the first
Patriot Act. (Section 802 is the new definition of domestic terrorism, and the definition is “any
action that endangers human life that is a violation of any Federal or State law.”) Section 501 of
the second Patriot Act directly connects to Section 125 of the same act. The Justice Department
boldly claims that the incredibly broad Section 802 of the First USA Patriot Act isn’t broad enough
and that a new, unlimited definition of terrorism is needed.


Under Section 501 a US citizen engaging in lawful activities can be grabbed off the street and thrown
into a van never to be seen again. The Justice Department states that they can do this because the
person “had inferred from conduct” that they were not a US citizen. Remember Section 802 of the
First USA Patriot Act states that any violation of Federal or State law can result in the “enemy
combatant” terrorist designation.


SECTION 201 of the second Patriot Act makes it a criminal act for any member of the government
or any citizen to release any information concerning the incarceration or whereabouts of detainees.
It also states that law enforcement does not even have to tell the press who they have arrested and
they never have to release the names.


SECTION 301 and 306 (Terrorist Identification Database) set up a national database of “suspected
terrorists” and radically expand the database to include anyone associated with suspected terrorist
groups and anyone involved in crimes or having supported any group designated as “terrorist.” These
sections also set up a national DNA database for anyone on probation or who has been on probation
for any crime, and orders State governments to collect the DNA for the Federal government.


SECTION 312 gives immunity to law enforcement engaging in spying operations against the American
people and would place substantial restrictions on court injunctions against Federal violations of civil rights
across the board.

SECTION 101 will designate individual terrorists as foreign powers and again strip them of all rights under the
“enemy combatant” designation.

SECTION 102 states clearly that any information gathering, regardless of whether or not those activities
are illegal, can be considered to be clandestine intelligence activities for a foreign power. This makes news
gathering illegal.

SECTION 103 allows the Federal government to use wartime martial law powers domestically and
internationally without Congress declaring that a state of war exists.

SECTION 106 is bone-chilling in its straightforwardness. It states that broad general warrants by the
secret FSIA court (a panel of secret judges set up in a star chamber system that convenes in an
undisclosed location) granted under the first Patriot Act are not good enough. It states that government
agents must be given immunity for carrying out searches with no prior court approval. This section
throws out the entire Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures.

SECTION 109 allows secret star chamber courts to issue contemp charges against any individual
or corporation who refuses to incriminate themselves or others. This sections annihilate the last
vestiges of the Fifth Amendment.

SECTION 110 restates that key police state clauses in the first Patriot Act were not sunsetted
and removes the five year sunset clause from other subsections of the first Patriot Act. After all,
the media has told us: “this is the New America. Get used to it. This is forever.”

SECTION 111 expands the definition of the “enemy combatant” designation.

SECTION 122 restates the government’s newly announced power of “surveillance without a court order.”

SECTION 123 restates that the government no longer needs warrants and that the investigations can
be a giant dragnet-style sweep described in press reports about the Total Information Awareness
Network. One passage reads, “thus the focus of domestic surveillance may be less precise than that
directed against more conventional types of crime.”

*Note: Over and over again, in subsection after subsection, the second Patriot Act states that its new
Soviet-type powers will be used to fight international terrorism, domestic terrorism and other types
of crimes. Of course the government has already announced in Section 802 of the first USA Patriot
act that any crime is considered domestic terrorism.

SECTION 126 grants the government the right to mine the entire spectrum of public and private
sector information from bank records to educational and medical records. This is the enacting
law to allow ECHELON and the Total Information Awareness Network to totally break down any
and all walls of privacy.

The government states that they must look at everything to “determine” if individuals or groups
might have a connection to terrorist groups. As you can now see, you are guilty until proven innocent.

SECTION 127 allows the government to takeover coroners’ and medical examiners’ operations
whenever they see fit. See how this is like Bill Clinton’s special medical examiner he had in
Arkansas that ruled that people had committed suicide when their arms and legs had been cut off.

SECTION 128 allows the Federal government to place gag orders on Federal and State Grand
Juries and to take over the proceedings. It also disallows individuals or organizations to even try
to quash a Federal subpoena. So now defending yourself will be a terrorist action.

SECTION 129 destroys any remaining whistleblower protection for Federal agents.

SECTION 202 allows corporations to keep secret their activities with toxic biological, chemical
or radiological materials.

SECTION 205 allows top Federal officials to keep all their financial dealings secret, and anyone
investigating them can be considered a terrorist. This should be very useful for Dick Cheney to
stop anyone investigating Haliburton.

SECTION 303 sets up national DNA database of suspected terrorists. The database will also be
used to “stop other unlawful activities.” It will share the information with state, local and foreign
agencies for the same purposes.

SECTION 311 federalizes your local police department in the area of information sharing.

SECTION 313 provides liability protection for businesses, especially big businesses that spy on
their customers for Homeland Security, violating their privacy agreements. It goes on to say that
these are all preventative measures – has anyone seen Minority Report? This is the access hub for

the Total Information Awareness Network.

SECTION 321 authorizes foreign governments to spy on the American people and to share
information with foreign governments.

SECTION 322 removes Congress from the extradition process and allows officers of the Homeland
Security complex to extradite American citizens anywhere they wish. It also allows Homeland
Security to secretly take individuals out of foreign countries.

SECTION 402 is titled “Providing Material Support to Terrorism.” The section reads that there is no
requirement to show that the individual even had the intent to aid terrorists.

SECTION 403 expands the definition of weapons of mass destruction to include any activity that
affects interstate or foreign commerce.

SECTION 404 makes it a crime for a terrorist or “other criminals” to use encryption in the commission
of a crime.

SECTION 408 creates “lifetime parole” (basically, slavery) for a whole host of crimes.

SECTION 410 creates no statute of limitations for anyone that engages in terrorist actions or
supports terrorists. Remember: any crime is now considered terrorism under the first Patriot Act.

SECTION 411 expands crimes that are punishable by death. Again, they point to Section 802
of the first Patriot Act and state that any terrorist act or support of terrorist act can result in the death penalty.

SECTION 421 increases penalties for terrorist financing. This section states that any type of
financial activity connected to terrorism will result to time in prison and $10-50,000 fines per violation.

SECTIONS 427 sets up asset forfeiture provisions for anyone engaging in terrorist activities.

There are many other sections that I did not cover in the interest of time. The American people
were shocked by the despotic nature of the first Patriot Act. The second Patriot Act dwarfs all
police state legislation in modern world history.

Usually, corrupt governments allow their citizens lots of wonderful rights on paper, while carrying
out their jackbooted oppression covertly. From snatch and grab operations to warantless
searches, Patriot Act II is an Adolf Hitler wish list.

You can understand why President Bush, Dick Cheney and Dennis Hastert want to keep
this legislation secret not just from Congress, but the American people as well. Bill Allison,
Managing Editor of the Center for Public Integrity, the group that broke this story, stated on
my radio show that it was obvious that they were just waiting for another terrorist attack to
opportunistically get this new bill through. He then shocked me with an insightful comment
about how the Federal government was crafting this so that they could go after the
American people in general. He also agreed that the FBI has been quietly demonizing
patriots and Christians and “those who carry around pocket Constitutions.”

I have produced two documentary films and written a book about what really happened
on September 11th. The bottom line is this: the military-industrial complex carried the
attacks out as a pretext for control. Anyone who doubts this just hasn’t looked at the mountains of
hard evidence.

Of course, the current group of white collar criminals in the White House might not care
that we’re finding out the details of their next phase. Because, after all, when smallpox gets released,
or more buildings start blowing up, the President can stand up there at his lectern suppressing a
smirk, squeeze out a tear or two, and tell us that “See I was right. I had to take away your rights
to keep you safe. And now it’s your fault that all of these children are dead.” From that point on,
anyone who criticizes tyranny will be shouted down by the paid talking head government mouthpieces
in the mainstream media.

You have to admit, it’s a beautiful script. Unfortunately, it’s being played out in the real world.
If we don’t get the word out that government is using terror to control our lives while doing nothing
to stop the terrorists, we will deserve what we get - tyranny. But our children won’t deserve it.

Those people who are not governed by God will be ruled by tyrants. -- William Penn

Psalm 9
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.


If America Does Not Repent, She Will Perish!

Good morning everyone. Today I am posting an article by Hal Lindsey regarding
our great Spirtiual Heritage. How did we get so far away from Our Lord? What
happened to change America from the Christian Nation she was to the secular
mess we are in now? Everyday I post about the loss of freedom in our beloved
country. Everyday, I try and reveal a little more of the truth about our government
and how they have claimed Unconstitutional and dictatorial powers that were never
envisioned by our Founding Fathers. Who did this to us. Could it have been We
The People? I know that is a part of it but if you go back to my era of the 60's and
study the rebellion against the Lord, His Word and common decency, you will begin
to see how the rot began in our nation. Many of us swallowed either parts or all of the
propaganda that came out of that era when God was invited out of our schools and
our nation. Many of us paid the price for those decisions and as a result, we see the mess
our nation is in.

Today I am not speaking about just our government. I am speaking about us.
I started a new job as a nurse in a public school. Granted, because of the
rebellion against God, the curricula is in a mess and filled with Socialist
Propaganda. However the teachers I have learned to respect, are honest
people who truly love kids. Many of them are Christians and they are trying
to cope with all this mess the same way we are. However there is another
problem. It is the total rotting death of the American family. Although not a
statistical fact, I would guess that 5-6 out of 10 families I come in contact
with are either divorced, single parent or have "live in lover homes". Many of the
precious little (Elementary Age) kids I am dealing with are in crisis. I have had
children with 102.9 to 103.0 fevers, stay in my clinic for 6-8 hours and never was
I able to locate a parent. I had one child with severe ear ache come in and when
I called the step-mother, I was told, " Oh "*********" I am late for work.
(Curse word edited). The children have been in many instances, emotionally
abandoned and the parents who are trying to make it, are locked into a survival
mode because of the financial mess we are in. You would not believe all the little
ones that come in for a hug and a little mint. It breaks my heart!

I believe this all is a judgement from Almighty God. Couple these facts with the
probable war we are about to be involved in and you have a dangerous situation for
a country. The churches must come out fighting against the onslaught of Satan and
his emissaries. If truth and rightousness are not restored and if these hurting and lost
famlies are not reached for the Lord Jesus Christ, then I believe we are doomed to find
ourselves in the slavery that our forefathers predicted. No longer canwe the Christians
in this nation sit in our ivory sanctuaries like little Little Jack Horner's and say what a
"good little boy am I". No more can we boast about our growth and buildings and good
church programs. No more will cute little sayings posted on boards outside our church
buildings cut it in a spiritual battle of this magnitude!

The call is for action to go out and preach the truth to a dying nation. The church must
tell this nation that if she does not repent, we are going to perish. A standard against
Satan's stronghold on our nation must be raised if we are to survive. How will we do this.
I do not know but I do know that we cannot continue to hide in our churches and pretend
all is well. We are in a spiritual battle for our very survival!

Here is Hal's message.

America: Repent or Perish!
Hal Lindsey: The Oracle

It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after
creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase
and import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered
for his words, “Give me liberty or give me death.” But in current textbooks the context of
these words is deleted.

Here is what he said: “An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us.
But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the
destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace
so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God.
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.”

These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. Was Patrick Henry a Christian?
The following year, 1776, he wrote this: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often
that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religious,
but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been
afforded freedom of worship here.”

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well-worn Bible: “I am
a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our
whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine
of Jesus also.”

Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell
speech on September 19, 1796: “It is impossible to govern the world without God and the
Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and
morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition
that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us
to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from his
personal prayer book: “Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words
and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my
heart by thy Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son,
Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time
obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race
of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thee and thy son, Jesus Christ.”

Consider these words by John Adams, our second president, who also served as
chairman of the American Bible Society. In an address to military leaders he said,
“We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human
passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our Constitution was made only
for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

How about our first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay? He stated that when we select
our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. “Providence
has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty as well as the privilege
and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth U.S. President. He was also the
chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role.

On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, “The highest glory of the American Revolution
was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the
principles of Christianity.”

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote
, “The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the
Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be
practically universal in our country.”

In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: “The Congress of the United States
recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools.”

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for
over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963.

President Lincoln called him the “Schoolmaster of the Nation.” Listen to these words
of Mr. McGuffey:

“The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on
the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are
founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn
more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. From all these extracts from the
Bible I make no apology.”

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including
the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook,
rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that
they could study the Scriptures: “Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly
pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus
Christ, which is eternal life, (John 17:3); and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only
foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom,
let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him (Proverbs 2:3).”

For over 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!

It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith were foundational to our
educational and judicial system.

However, in 1947, there was a radical change of direction from the Supreme Court.
It required ignoring every precedent of Supreme Court ruling for the past 160 years.

The Supreme Court ruled in a limited way to affirm a wall of separation between church
and State in the public classroom. In the coming years, this led to removing prayer from
public schools in 1962. Here is the prayer that was banished: "Almighty God, we
acknowledge our dependence on Thee. We beg Thy blessings upon us and our parents
and our teachers and our country. Amen."

In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading was outlawed as unconstitutional in
the public school system. The court offered this justification: “If portions of the New Testament
were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children.”

Bible reading was now unconstitutional, though the Bible was quoted 94 percent of the
time by those who wrote our Constitution and shaped our Nation and its system of education
and justice and government.

In 1965, the Courts denied as unconstitutional the right of a student in the public
school cafeteria to bow his head and pray audibly for his food.

In 1980, Stone vs. Graham outlawed the Ten Commandments in our public schools.
The Supreme Court said this: “If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments were
to have any effect at all, it would be to induce school children to read them. And if
they read them, meditated upon them, and perhaps venerated and obeyed them,
this is not a permissible objective.”

Is it not a permissible objective to allow our children to follow the moral principles
of the Ten Commandments?

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said
this: “We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of
government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions
upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral
principles of the Ten Commandments.”

Today, we are asking God to bless America. But, how can He bless a Nation that
has departed so far from Him? Prior to September 11, He was not welcome in America.
Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks.

Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots.

America truly stands at the crossroads of its existence. I believe that unless Christians
get involved in demanding the original beliefs of this country are restored to our laws,
there is no hope for us. God has given us a brief moment of grace by giving us a
born-again President. But the day of grace is not going to last for long.


THINK ABOUT IT!
