The drudge report said that with the passing of Ted Kennedy ,the last of the Joe Kennedy siblings,a satanic dynasty clearly cursed by their pact with hell, signaled the end of Camelot. John F. was murdered as he dared the rebel against the money masters of the Luciferian black dynasty of the Rothchilds and their masters the Vatican seat of anti-Christ. And his son John Jr. was murdered as he was going to out the conspiracy for killing his father,and would have been a 3peat and would have easily won the whitehouse. And Bobby was killed by the same conspiracy as he was a threat to them and would have won the presidency and the conspiracy was unwilling to gamble on a repeat of John F.'s rebellion. What does it all mean?
I can say without a doubt that with the passing of Eunice and Ted, the last of the 2nd generation Kennedy's , that their occult power is waning. They come from one of the listed 13 Illuminati bloodlines, however as in all things given by Satan to his servants, it has an expiration date. The bible says the devil's that deceive men, laugh as they ensnare them. The lofty pride of the powerful of this world doesn't amount to the dust of the balance left on the scale after the matter is weighed. Any one who is a proud liberal democrat is the enemy of God. Now the current Drudge headline says " Health care from the grave,Dems rally around Kennedy care." All I can say is come quickly Lord Jesus.
This may be the push they need, the occult strength from standing on Ted Kennedy's grave to thrust socialist health care upon an America asleep at the wheel. Those who say nothing deserve what they get. Those who will not cry out will be ensnared by those they have blindly put their trust in to take care of them. There is definitely help at times from God through modern medicine and it is a travesty when someone is allowed to die by saying all health care is evil. If I needed an operation to save my life and God provided me a way to have it, I would. I must qualify that by saying that I do not trust Dr.'s or modern medicine to save me. We must shortly put off this tabernacle, to step into eternity. The panic over health care is mainly an uproar by those who fear death. God is on the throne and able to heal. As I write this I am listening to Pastor Meyer and he just said that when we see miracles flow is when we have no plan "B". This is the truth. It is a difficult struggle to die to the flesh. This verse from 1 Peter says it perfectly.
1 Peter 5:10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

17 yr old Who Practices Witchcraft Screams About Armageddon In Zombie Trance While Chasing & Stabbing His Siblings W/ Long Knife!
"Possessed" Teen Stabs 3 Younger Siblings
Suspect told cops he was "zombie-like," paper says

The eldest victim, a 13-year-old, fled the butcher scene at his apartment and ran downstairs for help.
NBCNewYork
A troubled Bronx teen allegedly in a zombie-like trance stabbed his two younger brothers and sister yesterday – and was prevented from murdering them by a Good Samaritan, authorities said.
Cops say 17-year-old Nelson Santos lost it at about 3:30 p.m. and attacked his two brothers, ages 13 and 6, and his 9-year-old sister, with a knife in their second-floor apartment in Morrisania.
Police did not give a motive for the stabbing or what type of weapon was used, but the Daily News reports Santos told cops he was "zombie-like" and used a butcher knife.
A police source told the paper the boy said he was seeing demons and neighbors said he practiced black magic.
Drenched in his own blood, 13-year-old Miguel Santos, who was stabbed nearly half a dozen times, dashed out of his living room and downstairs to call for help. Neighbor John Flores, 19, told the News Nelson Santos was screaming something about the Armageddon and chasing his younger brother with "a big kitchen knife about as long as my forearm."
The hero neighbor wrestled with Santos as he tried to stop them; his mother, Delila, was able to grab the butcher knife out of his clutches, according to the paper.
Cops caught up with Santos outside the apartment complex and arrested him on assault charges. The distraught teen was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, reports the News.
All of the victims were transported to St. Barnabas Hospital, cops said. The youngest, James, was hospitalized in serious condition with a wound to his torso. The 13-year-old boy was listed in stable condition with a wound to his torso, and his 9-year-old sister was listed in stable condition with lacerations to her chest, police said.

Hellish scenes as six bomb blasts rip through Baghdad leaving at least 95 dead and 536 wounded
A series of blasts in Baghdad killed 95 and wounded 536 yesterday.
In Iraq's bloodiest day this year, home forces accepted blame for the security breach after U.S. troops withdrew from urban centres in June.
At least six blasts struck near government ministries and other targets at the heart of Iraq's Shi'ite-led administration.

Analysts said the co-ordinated attacks were a message 'to show the world the insurgents are still there'.
Major General Qassim al-Moussawi, Baghdad's security spokesman, told Iraqi TV: 'This operation shows negligence, and is considered a security breach for which Iraqi forces must take most of the blame.'
The Iraqi government said this month that most of the city's blast walls would be removed within 40 days, a sign of confidence in its security forces before elections in January.
The blasts were a rare example of a co-ordinated attack on heavily guarded targets.
One blast, a massive truck bomb close to a security checkpoint leading to the heavily-fortified Green Zone, blew out the windows of the foreign ministry, sending shards of glass through offices, killing dozens.
'The windows of the foreign ministry shattered, slaughtering the people inside.
'I could see ministry workers, journalists and security guards among the dead,' said a distraught ministry employee known as Asia.

'Suddenly a powerful blast shook the building and glass flew ... Most employees were wounded by the flying glass and others, including myself, suffered concussion ... I awoke with blood all over my face,' said ministry worker Batoul al-Amri.
Another truck bomb in Baghdad's Waziriya district near the finance ministry killed at least 28 and caused widespread destruction.
The Baghdad provincial government building also came under mortar attack, as did the Salhiya district in central Baghdad, home to army bases and a television station police said.
Another explosion was close enough to Reuters' offices in central Baghdad's Karrada district to burst open windows and doors.
In south Baghdad's Bayaa district, a blast killed two people and wounded five. It was not yet immediately clear where the other deaths among the 25 people killed occurred.
The attacks could undermine confidence in Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki before the parliamentary election.
In a statement, Mr Maliki called for a review of security plans, but added the attacks were aimed at 'raising doubts about our armed forces, which have proven themselves very capable of confronting terrorists'.

Dangerous Hurricane Bill could threaten east Canada.
By Jim Loney
MIAMI (Reuters) - Powerful Hurricane Bill, a dangerous Category 4 storm with 135 mph winds, raged across the open Atlantic on Wednesday, days from land but on a path that could menace Canada's eastern provinces next week.
Sweeping past the Caribbean islands and posing no threat to U.S. oil and gas installations in the Gulf of Mexico, the first hurricane of the 2009 Atlantic season was expected to charge between the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda, well offshore.
Residents of Bermuda, a mid-Atlantic British territory and reinsurance capital, were warned to prepare for the storm. The latest forecast track issued by the U.S. National Hurricane Center would take Bill more than 100 miles to the west.
But Bill's massive size -- tropical storm force winds of 39 to 73 mph extend up to 230 miles from its center -- meant Bermuda would get a good dose of heavy weather, forecasters said.
"All (computer) models keep the storm between the United States and Bermuda. Exactly how close it comes to either of those is up for debate," said National Hurricane Center forecaster Eric Blake. "The average error (in the forecast track) is 200 miles at about 3 days."
"Bermuda is expected to see large swells and areas of heavy rain and high winds. Hopefully the core of the hurricane will stay offshore," he said.
The Bermuda Sun newspaper reported that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, planned to fly to Bermuda on Wednesday for a private vacation of three to four days at a beach resort. The State Department declined to officially confirm where Clinton was.
HEAVY SURF EXPECTED ON U.S. EAST COAST
Forecasters said Bill might get stronger. Its top winds were expected to peak at about 145 mph on Thursday.

***City Cleans Up After Overnight Storms***
The city is cleaning up from a batch of thunderstorms that struck overnight.
Riverside Drive was closed from 97th Street up to 105th Street, after the strong storms knocked down trees and flooded the roadway.
Many cars in the area were dented or had windows smashed by falling branches.
"We figure there are hundreds of trees that are damaged or down in Riverside Park and Central Park," said Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, who lives in the area. "We brought in crews from three boroughs to work here in Manhattan last night. They worked through the night. The biggest problem we have now is we had many trees that were damaged from very high up from the intensity of the winds, and all of those trees have to be checked."
The storm made a narrow, but devastating path through Manhattan.
"It seems like it made a path across the Hudson River, right through this narrow path of Riverside Drive and Riverside Park between 97th and 103rd, kept going east through Central Park where it caused a great deal of devastation between 90th and 100th," said Benepe. "Even on Randall's Island we have lots of trees down."
Some residents thought a tornado had struck the neighborhood.
"At one point my wife she said, 'Let's go look at the window,' and we looked out the window and it was torrential. I mean, it was almost white," said one local.
"It was like a tornado last night. I live on Riverside," said another. "The wind came down a corridor, we heard these crashes, branches were falling, some loud crashes, signal lights. I think roof furniture on the ground from like 20 stories."
"We've been here 15 years and never have I seen a rainstorm like that coming up the street," said a third. "You couldn't see the other side of the street."
Downed trees also damaged cars parked along Central Park West.
It could take several days for the Parks Department to check and prune all damaged trees, so those who walk through Riverside and Central Parks should look out for hanging limbs.
While the storm passed quickly around 10:30 p.m. yesterday, it was strong enough to down scaffolding near Jefferson and Madison Streets on Manhattan's Lower East Side, seen right.
No one was hurt in the collapse.
The rain did not break the heat and humidity, as a heat advisory remains in effect.
Cooling centers are open in all five boroughs including many senior centers.

The UN Sec.General Says We Only Have 4 Months To Save The Planet
Remarks to the Global Environment Forum (Excerpt)
"We have the power to change course. But we must do it now.
As we move toward Copenhagen in December, we must “Seal a Deal” on climate change that secures our common future. I'm glad that the Chairman of the forum and many other speakers have used my campaign slogan “Seal the Deal” in Copenhagen. I won't charge them loyalty. Please use this “Seal the Deal” as widely as possible, as much as you can. We must seal the deal in Copenhagen for the future of humanity.
We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet."

The above link is typical of the anti-Christ agenda of the globalist/commUNist United Nations founded by the Luciferian Elitists. It is noteworthy that they are boldly declaring we only have 4 months to save the earth the Lord Jesus Christ has spoken and declared he is soon to destroy. I have posted the link at the bottom for those who have the fortitude to plow through sickening rhetoric.
It is worth skimming. The point that jumped out at me was the theme he is following is line by line what is being implemented in all nations across the planet. It is also extremely interesting that Sec.Moon (good grief), refers specifically to a national stimulus package aimed toward green development of green jobs. Its not easy being green said Kermit the frog.....and it just hit me that even in the late 60's and early 70's they were planting satanic seeds of the environmental religion. The pinnacle of hypocrisy was a list published in the last year or so that listed the monster electric bills of the rich elite and the monster jet fuel bills and the tons of emissions pumped out by the fleets of private jets the same elite use. You see they are not interested in truly going green. They are interested in the selfish gain for the form of godliness they practice, rewarded to them by their master, Satan. We have reached the point of no return as they say in aviation, which means we do not have the option to turn back as we cannot make it back even if we wanted to which we do not, but we can only make it if we press on to our intended destination. They also love the appearance of good works as those practicing hypocrisy embrace, the self sacrifice of spending your celebrity 30 pieces of silver to live in the lap of luxury for betraying the only Lord Jesus Christ as they really burn in the judgment of God for their heathen lifestyles. One thing is for sure, there is no saving this God forsaking vile and corrupt world, there is only the assurance of immovable hope for the remnant he is bringing to complete deliverance to walk in the fullness of joy, now and forever, Praise Ye The LORD!

A HOLOCAUST BEGINS
Swine flu jab link to killer nerve disease: Leaked letter reveals concern of neurologists over 25 deaths in America
By Jo Macfarlane
Prevention: Is the swine flu jab safe?
A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.
The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.
It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine.
GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.
The letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications.
It refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:
* More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
* 500 cases of GBS were detected.
* The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
* The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
* The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.
Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.
It is being developed by pharmaceutical companies and will be given to about 13million people during the first wave of immunisation, expected to start in October.
Top priority will be given to everyone aged six months to 65 with an underlying health problem, pregnant women and health professionals.
The British Neurological Surveillance Unit (BNSU), part of the British Association of Neurologists, has been asked to monitor closely any cases of GBS as the vaccine is rolled out.
One senior neurologist said last night: ‘I would not have the swine
flu jab because of the GBS risk.’
There are concerns that there could be a repeat of what became known as the ‘1976 debacle’ in the US, where a swine flu vaccine killed 25 people – more than the virus itself.
A mass vaccination was given the go-ahead by President Gerald Ford because scientists believed that the swine flu strain was similar to the one responsible for the 1918-19 pandemic, which killed half a million Americans and 20million people worldwide.
Swine flu vaccines being prepared
The swine flu vaccine being offered to children has not been tested on infants
Within days, symptoms of GBS were reported among those who had been immunised and 25 people died from respiratory failure after severe paralysis. One in 80,000 people came down with the condition. In contrast, just one person died of swine flu.
More than 40million Americans had received the vaccine by the time the programme was stopped after ten weeks. The US Government paid out millions of dollars in compensation to those affected.
The swine flu virus in the new vaccine is a slightly different strain from the 1976 virus, but the possibility of an increased incidence of GBS remains a concern.
Shadow health spokesman Mike Penning said last night: ‘The last thing we want is secret letters handed around experts within the NHS. We need a vaccine but we also need to know about potential risks.
‘Our job is to make sure that the public knows what’s going on. Why
is the Government not being open about this? It’s also very worrying if GPs, who will be administering the vaccine, aren’t being warned.’
Two letters were posted together to neurologists advising them of the concerns. The first, dated July 29, was written by Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the HPA’s Immunisation Department.
It says: ‘The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use.
‘GBS has been identified as a condition needing enhanced surveillance when the swine flu vaccines are rolled out.
‘Reporting every case of GBS irrespective of vaccination or disease history is essential for conducting robust epidemiological analyses capable of identifying whether there is an increased risk of GBS in defined time periods after vaccination, or after influenza itself, compared with the background risk.’
The second letter, dated July 27, is from the Association of British Neurologists and is written by Dr Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, chair of its surveillance unit, and Professor Patrick Chinnery, chair of its clinical research committee.
America swine flu 1976
Halted: The 1976 US swine flu campaign
It says: ‘Traditionally, the BNSU has monitored rare diseases for long periods of time. However, the swine influenza (H1N1) pandemic has overtaken us and we need every member’s involvement with a new BNSU survey of Guillain-Barre Syndrome that will start on August 1 and run for approximately nine months.
‘Following the 1976 programme of vaccination against swine influenza in the US, a retrospective study found a possible eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS.
‘Active prospective ascertainment of every case of GBS in the UK is required. Please tell BNSU about every case.
‘You will have seen Press coverage describing the Government’s concern about releasing a vaccine of unknown safety.’
If there are signs of a rise in GBS after the vaccination programme begins, the Government could decide to halt it.
GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, leaving them unable to transmit signals to muscles effectively.
It can cause partial paralysis and mostly affects the hands and feet. In serious cases, patients need to be kept on a ventilator, but it can be fatal.
Death is caused by paralysis of the respiratory system, causing the victim to suffocate.
It is not known exactly what causes GBS and research on the subject has been inconclusive.
However, it is thought that one in a million people who have a seasonal flu vaccination could be at risk and it has also been linked to people recovering from a bout of flu of any sort.
The HPA said it was part of the Government’s pandemic plan to monitor GBS cases in the event of a mass vaccination campaign, regardless of the strain of flu involved.
But vaccine experts warned that the letters proved the programme was a ‘guinea-pig trial’.
Dr Tom Jefferson, co-ordinator of the vaccines section of the influential Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that reviews research, said: ‘New vaccines never behave in the way you expect them to. It may be that there is a link to GBS, which is certainly not something I would wish on anybody.
‘But it could end up being anything because one of the additives in one of the vaccines is a substance called squalene, and none of the studies we’ve extracted have any research on it at all.’
He said squalene, a naturally occurring enzyme, could potentially cause so-far-undiscovered side effects.
Jackie Fletcher, founder of vaccine support group Jabs, said: ‘The Government would not be anticipating this if they didn’t think there was a connection. What we’ve got is a massive guinea-pig trial.’
Professor Chinnery said: ‘During the last swine flu pandemic, it was observed that there was an increased frequency of cases of GBS. No one knows whether it was the virus or the vaccine that caused this.
‘The purpose of the survey is for us to assess rapidly whether there is an increase in the frequency of GBS when the vaccine is released in the UK. It also increases consultants’ awareness of the condition.

Panic over? The number of swine flu cases has fallen sharply in the past few weeks
‘This is a belt-and-braces approach to safety and is not something people should be substantially worried about as it’s a rare condition.’
If neurologists do identify a case of GBS, it will be logged on a central database.
Details about patients, including blood samples, will be collected and monitored by the HPA.
It is hoped this will help scientists establish why some people develop the condition and whether it is directly related to the vaccine.
But some question why there needs to be a vaccine, given the risks. Dr Richard Halvorsen, author of The Truth About Vaccines, said: ‘For people with serious underlying health problems, the risk of dying from swine flu is probably greater than the risk of side effects from the vaccine.
‘But it would be tragic if we repeated the US example and ended up with more casualties from the jabs.
‘I applaud the Government for recognising the risk but in most cases this is a mild virus which needs a few days in bed. I’d question why we need a vaccine at all.’
Professor Miller at the HPA said: ‘This monitoring system activates pandemic plans that have been in place for a number of years. We’ll be able to get information on whether a patient has had a prior influenza illness and will look at whether influenza itself is linked to GBS.
‘We are not expecting a link to the vaccine but a link to disease, which would make having the vaccine even more important.’
The UK’s medicines watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, is already monitoring reported side effects from Tamiflu and Relenza and it is set to extend that surveillance to the vaccine.
A Department of Health spokesperson said: ‘The European Medicines Agency has strict processes in place for licensing pandemic vaccines.
‘In preparing for a pandemic, appropriate trials to assess safety and the immune responses have been carried out on vaccines very similar to the swine flu vaccine. The vaccines have been shown to have a good safety profile.
‘It is extremely irresponsible to suggest that the UK would use a vaccine without careful consideration of safety issues. The UK has one of the most successful immunisation programmes in the world.’
I COULDN''T EAT OR SPEAK... IT WAS HORRENDOUS
Hilary Wilkinson
Victim: Hilary Wilkinson spent three months in hospital after she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome
When Hilary Wilkinson woke up with muscle weakness in her left arm and difficulty breathing, doctors initially put it down to a stroke.
But within hours, she was on a ventilator in intensive care after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
She spent three months in hospital and had to learn how to talk and walk again. But at times, when she was being fed through a drip and needed a tracheotomy just to breathe, she doubted whether she would survive.
The mother of two, 57, from Maryport, Cumbria, had been in good health until she developed a chest infection in March 2006. She gradually became so weak she could not walk downstairs.
Doctors did not diagnose Guillain-Barre until her condition worsened in hospital and tests showed her reflexes slowing down. It is impossible for doctors to know how she contracted the disorder, although it is thought to be linked to some infections.
Mrs Wilkinson said: ‘It was very scary. I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t speak. My arms and feet had no strength and breathing was hard.
I was treated with immunoglobulin, which are proteins found in blood, to stop damage to my nerves. After ten days, I still couldn’t speak and had to mime to nurses or my family.
‘It was absolutely horrendous and I had no idea whether I would get through it. You reach very dark moments at such times and wonder how long it can last.
But I’m a very determined person and I had lots of support.’
After three weeks, she was transferred to a neurological ward, where she had an MRI scan and nerve tests to assess the extent of the damage.
Still unable to speak and in a wheelchair, Mrs Wilkinson eventually began gruelling physiotherapy to improve her muscle strength and movement but it was exhausting and painful.
Three years later, she is almost fully recovered. She can now walk for several miles at a time, has been abroad and carries out voluntary work for a GBS Support Group helpline.
She said: ‘It makes me feel wary that the Government is rolling out this vaccine without any clear idea of the GBS risk, if any. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone and it certainly changed my life.
‘I’m frightened to have the swine flu vaccine if this might happen again – it’s a frightening illness and I think more research needs to be done on the effect of the vaccine.’
Hotline staff given access to confidential records
Confidential NHS staff records and disciplinary complaints could be accessed by hundreds of workers manning the Government’s special swine flu hotline.
They were able to browse through a database of emails containing doctors’ and nurses’ National Insurance numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, mobile phone numbers and scanned passport pages – all details that could be used fraudulently.
And private and confidential complaints sent by hospitals about temporary medical staff – some of whom were named – were also made available to the call-centre workers, who were given a special password to log in to an internal NHS website.
It could be a breach of the Data Protection Act.
The hotline staff work for NHS Professionals, which was set up using taxpayers’ money to employ temporary medical and administrative staff for the health service.
The not-for-profit company runs two of the Government’s swine flu call centres – with 300 staff in Farnborough, Hampshire, and 900 in Watford, Hertfordshire.
Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley described the revelations as ‘disturbing’.
Anne Mitchell, a spokeswoman for Unison, said: ‘There’s no excuse for such a fundamental breach of personal security. Action needs to be taken as soon as possible to make sure this does not happen again.’
A spokeswoman for NHS Professionals would not confirm whether access to the confidential files had been granted.

By Jo Macfarlane
Prevention: Is the swine flu jab safe?
A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter.
The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins.
It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine.
GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal.
The letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications.
It refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when:
* More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu.
* 500 cases of GBS were detected.
* The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times.
* The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear.
* The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected.
Concerns have already been raised that the new vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and that the effects, especially on children, are unknown.
It is being developed by pharmaceutical companies and will be given to about 13million people during the first wave of immunisation, expected to start in October.
Top priority will be given to everyone aged six months to 65 with an underlying health problem, pregnant women and health professionals.
The British Neurological Surveillance Unit (BNSU), part of the British Association of Neurologists, has been asked to monitor closely any cases of GBS as the vaccine is rolled out.
One senior neurologist said last night: ‘I would not have the swine
flu jab because of the GBS risk.’
There are concerns that there could be a repeat of what became known as the ‘1976 debacle’ in the US, where a swine flu vaccine killed 25 people – more than the virus itself.
A mass vaccination was given the go-ahead by President Gerald Ford because scientists believed that the swine flu strain was similar to the one responsible for the 1918-19 pandemic, which killed half a million Americans and 20million people worldwide.
Swine flu vaccines being prepared
The swine flu vaccine being offered to children has not been tested on infants
Within days, symptoms of GBS were reported among those who had been immunised and 25 people died from respiratory failure after severe paralysis. One in 80,000 people came down with the condition. In contrast, just one person died of swine flu.
More than 40million Americans had received the vaccine by the time the programme was stopped after ten weeks. The US Government paid out millions of dollars in compensation to those affected.
The swine flu virus in the new vaccine is a slightly different strain from the 1976 virus, but the possibility of an increased incidence of GBS remains a concern.
Shadow health spokesman Mike Penning said last night: ‘The last thing we want is secret letters handed around experts within the NHS. We need a vaccine but we also need to know about potential risks.
‘Our job is to make sure that the public knows what’s going on. Why
is the Government not being open about this? It’s also very worrying if GPs, who will be administering the vaccine, aren’t being warned.’
Two letters were posted together to neurologists advising them of the concerns. The first, dated July 29, was written by Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the HPA’s Immunisation Department.
It says: ‘The vaccines used to combat an expected swine influenza pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use.
‘GBS has been identified as a condition needing enhanced surveillance when the swine flu vaccines are rolled out.
‘Reporting every case of GBS irrespective of vaccination or disease history is essential for conducting robust epidemiological analyses capable of identifying whether there is an increased risk of GBS in defined time periods after vaccination, or after influenza itself, compared with the background risk.’
The second letter, dated July 27, is from the Association of British Neurologists and is written by Dr Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, chair of its surveillance unit, and Professor Patrick Chinnery, chair of its clinical research committee.
America swine flu 1976
Halted: The 1976 US swine flu campaign
It says: ‘Traditionally, the BNSU has monitored rare diseases for long periods of time. However, the swine influenza (H1N1) pandemic has overtaken us and we need every member’s involvement with a new BNSU survey of Guillain-Barre Syndrome that will start on August 1 and run for approximately nine months.
‘Following the 1976 programme of vaccination against swine influenza in the US, a retrospective study found a possible eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS.
‘Active prospective ascertainment of every case of GBS in the UK is required. Please tell BNSU about every case.
‘You will have seen Press coverage describing the Government’s concern about releasing a vaccine of unknown safety.’
If there are signs of a rise in GBS after the vaccination programme begins, the Government could decide to halt it.
GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, leaving them unable to transmit signals to muscles effectively.
It can cause partial paralysis and mostly affects the hands and feet. In serious cases, patients need to be kept on a ventilator, but it can be fatal.
Death is caused by paralysis of the respiratory system, causing the victim to suffocate.
It is not known exactly what causes GBS and research on the subject has been inconclusive.
However, it is thought that one in a million people who have a seasonal flu vaccination could be at risk and it has also been linked to people recovering from a bout of flu of any sort.
The HPA said it was part of the Government’s pandemic plan to monitor GBS cases in the event of a mass vaccination campaign, regardless of the strain of flu involved.
But vaccine experts warned that the letters proved the programme was a ‘guinea-pig trial’.
Dr Tom Jefferson, co-ordinator of the vaccines section of the influential Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that reviews research, said: ‘New vaccines never behave in the way you expect them to. It may be that there is a link to GBS, which is certainly not something I would wish on anybody.
‘But it could end up being anything because one of the additives in one of the vaccines is a substance called squalene, and none of the studies we’ve extracted have any research on it at all.’
He said squalene, a naturally occurring enzyme, could potentially cause so-far-undiscovered side effects.
Jackie Fletcher, founder of vaccine support group Jabs, said: ‘The Government would not be anticipating this if they didn’t think there was a connection. What we’ve got is a massive guinea-pig trial.’
Professor Chinnery said: ‘During the last swine flu pandemic, it was observed that there was an increased frequency of cases of GBS. No one knows whether it was the virus or the vaccine that caused this.
‘The purpose of the survey is for us to assess rapidly whether there is an increase in the frequency of GBS when the vaccine is released in the UK. It also increases consultants’ awareness of the condition.

‘This is a belt-and-braces approach to safety and is not something people should be substantially worried about as it’s a rare condition.’

Sen.Spector New Obama Democrat Pawn Lies To Begin Whitehouse Spin Against American Outrage & Backlash @ Ressurection of Hitlarian Euthanasia
Specter: Protests not 'representative of America'AP
* Specter Blasted as 'Crooked' at Town Hall
WASHINGTON – Sen. Arlen Specter said Wednesday he thinks people who have been angrily disrupting town hall meetings on overhauling the health care system are "not necessarily representative of America," but should be heard.
"It's more than health care," said Specter, 79, who earlier this year left the Republican Party and became a Democrat. "I think there is a mood in America of anger with so many people unemployed, with so much bickering in Washington ... with the fear of losing their health care. It all boils over."
Specter and Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat, appeared on a nationally broadcast news show Wednesday, a day after town hall meetings they hosted erupted in the same kind of catcalls, jeers and shouting that has characterized many such forums in recent weeks. "There were a couple of tough moments," McCaskill said of her experience, "but it lasted two hours and there were thousands of people there."
Jeers and taunts drowned out both Specter and McCaskill on occasion Tuesday. President Barack Obama was treated more respectfully at his town hall meeting in New Hampshire.
"You'll be gone, by God the bureaucrats will still be here," one man told Specter at a session in Lebanon, Pa.
"If they don't let us vent our frustrations out, they will have a revolution," Mary Ann Fieser of Hillsboro, Mo., told McCaskill at her Missouri health care forum. McCaskill admonished the rowdy crowd, saying "I don't understand this rudeness. I honestly don't get it."
The bitter sessions underscored the challenge for the administration as it tries to win over an increasingly skeptical public on the costly and far-reaching task of revamping the nation's health care system. Desperate to stop a hardening opposition, the White House created a Web site to dispel what it says are smears and House Democrats set up a health care "war room" out of Majority Leader Steny Hoyer's office to help lawmakers handle questions.
Specter, who had another such forum scheduled Wedneday at State College, Pa., said he had been "impressed with the fact that people have been very well prepared." He said many have come to meetings with copies of the legislation and have cited specific provisions in their arguments.
"These people have a right to be organized," the senator said on CBS's "The Early Show."
"I'm not going to complain about being organized. They have a right to speak," he said, "but I think we have to explain, they're not necessarily representative of America. I think they're vocal. I don't think they're representative."
Specter said he didn't think people opposed to various health care proposals have a right to disrupt public meetings on the issue.
Obama answered his critics indirectly. At his town hall in Portsmouth, N.H., he urged Americans to ignore those who try to "scare and mislead the American people," telling a cordial audience, "For all the scare tactics out there, what is truly scary is if we do nothing."
McCaskill said she was "proud of the people that showed up and I don't take that personally."
"It's that they don't trust government right now," she said on NBC's "Today" show.
"It wasn't the majority of the audience, it was a huge chunk of them," she said. "But I get that distrust. There's a lot of cynicism out there and it's important that I get out there and listen to that."
Many people "have a lot of pent-up frustration about what has happened over the past six months because it's come fast and furious," McCaskill said.

FOREST HILLS, Pa. - If prayers were said Sunday for the soul of the gunman who killed three women at a Pennsylvania health club, they were not by the parishioners of a church where he apparently sat quietly for many years: Tetelestai Church doesn't pray for the dead.
"We pray for the living — the victims and the family of George Sodini," said Chuck Matone, a senior deacon.
And Sodini? "God will hold him accountable. God has his justice."
Story continues below ↓advertisement | your ad here
Sodini's name wasn't even mentioned during the service, held in the auditorium of Trinity Christian School in Forest Hills. But John Dorohovich, an associate pastor, referred to the LA Fitness club shooter's long-seething rage indirectly, urging the faithful to reject "the bitterness and the gall and man's frantic search for happiness."
"When you seek that over the word of God, that brings upon you a lifestyle of misery," he said. "And then you want to take it out on others."
Nine others wounded in attack
Sodini shot and killed Elizabeth Gannon, Heidi Overmier and Jody Billingsley and wounded nine others Tuesday night in Bridgeville before killing himself.
Church records suggest Sodini last attended services about five years ago. He signed an enrollment card in March 2004 but was removed form the congregation sometime later for harassing a woman, Matone said.
Sodini's misery was apparent in his rambling, hate-filled blog, in which he complained of a nonexistent sex life, years of rejection by women and social isolation. Among those he blamed for his perceived troubles were his family and Tetelestai's longtime pastor, Alan "Rick" Knapp, whose teachings he interpreted as assurance he would go to heaven even after committing murder.
"This guy teaches (and convinced me) you can commit mass murder, then still go to heaven," he wrote.
Knapp, who left town Saturday to care for his critically ill father in Florida, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Friday that "the message of the word I preach never reflected such a thing."
Matone described Knapp as "really broken this week" and said he has struggled to comprehend Sodini's thinking.
"He just had an authority problem all his life," Matone concludes from Sodini's blog. "Everything and everyone was against him."
Church focuses on Bible study, teaching
Neither Matone nor Knapp recalled ever meeting Sodini at Tetelestai, which is Greek for "It is finished." The church is nondenominational and focuses on Bible study and teaching.
Deacon Jack Rickard had invited Sodini to his home for dinner, but he never sensed his anger.
"I never saw anything out of the ordinary with him. He had his idiosyncrasies, but who doesn't?" Rickard said.
Personally, though, Rickard believes Sodini is in heaven.
"We believe in permanent security — once saved, always saved," Rickard said. "He will be judged, but he will be in heaven. ... He'll be in heaven, but he won't have any rewards because he did evil."
The sermon, however, avoided addressing the fate of Sodini's soul.
"You are accountable and you are responsible for what you do," Dorohovich told the congregation. "God knows the motives of all men's hearts, and as my pastor said Friday night, we will give account for all that is done in this body."

Matone also sidestepped the issue: "Is he in heaven? Only God and he know."
But the church leadership says one thing is clear: Sodini alone is responsible for the pain he has caused.
"There's absolutely no guilt on the part of anyone in this ministry," Matone said. "What he did, he did on his own."

"You are accountable and you are responsible for what you do," Dorohovich told the congregation. "God knows the motives of all men's hearts, and as my pastor said Friday night, we will give account for all that is done in this body."

Matone also sidestepped the issue: "Is he in heaven? Only God and he know."
But the church leadership says one thing is clear: Sodini alone is responsible for the pain he has caused.
"There's absolutely no guilt on the part of anyone in this ministry," Matone said. "What he did, he did on his own."

CISHAN, Taiwan - As rescuers dug through one buried Taiwanese village in a desperate search for survivors, officials said a second village had also been swamped by a typhoon-triggered mudslide.
In China, meanwhile, the typhoon unleashed rain and flooding that destroyed more than 10,000 dwellings, officials said. A landslide in China's Zhejiang province late Monday flattened seven three-story apartment buildings that had been evacuated.
Taiwan's military said that more than 700 people were trapped, and possibly dead, in two southern villages engulfed by mudslides after Typhoon Morakot swamped the island.

More than 90 people, including 50 in Taiwan, have been confirmed dead since Morakot and Tropical Storm Etau cut a swathe through the region. Three Taiwanese rescuers were feared dead when their helicopter crashed.
Those trapped in Taiwan included people buried by a massive landslide in Shiao Lin, a village of 1,000 in mountainous Kaohsiung County, according to a general involved in rescue operations.
Many were also trapped in a second village, Namahsia, said Gen. Hu Jui-chou. "Trapped means they could be dead or alive," Hu said by telephone.
'Mountain just fell off'
Morakot, which triggered the worst flooding in Taiwan in 50 years, dumped as much as 80 inches of rain at the weekend before moving on to China.
Some 900 people in three villages have been rescued and evacuated to the town of Cishan, the hub of rescue operations.
Some 200 survivors were from Shiao Lin and were found sheltering in a nearby field, said Gen. Hu. Meanwhile, more than 500 from Min Tsu village and 200 from Chin He village were also rescued. All three villages are near one another.
Shiao Lin residents rescued Tuesday escaped the mudslide by running to higher ground, from where they were plucked by helicopters. But those saved from other villages — which are miles away from Shiao Lin — had enough time to run to open ground.
One of the women ferried out Tuesday implored the military to do everything to rescue her family and friends. "There are still a lot of people trapped inside," Lin Mei-ying told television station ETTV. "Please go faster, so they can be saved."
Survivor Lee Chin-long said he watched as walls of mud and rock wiped out most of Shiao Lin.
"I was watching from my house upstairs. The whole mountain just fell off. When I saw that, I started to run," said Lee, speaking from a shelter in the nearby town of Cishan. "Almost every house was gone, except for a couple."
A woman rescued Monday told Taiwan's China Times newspaper that she fled with her husband and their baby from their two-story Shiao Lin home minutes before the mudslide buried it.
"We heard two loud bangs," the woman surnamed Chi was quoted as saying. "The sky was filled with dust like a volcanic eruption, and flood waters, mud and rocks streamed onto the roads."
Swept 1.2 miles
A 51-year-old man from Jilai village was swept 1.2 miles away when the mudslide that struck Shiao Lin rushed down a nearby mountain. According to news reports, he survived by holding on to a log.
Gen. Hu had earlier said that some residents might still be stuck near the village, with possibly 100 taking refuge in a tunnel.
Access to the area — in the southern reaches of the island's heavily foliated mountainous spine — is restricted to the military.
Shiao Lin's almost total isolation complicated reporting about its fate. Shiao Lin was cut off after floodwaters destroyed a bridge about eight miles away. A back road wending its way northward toward the mountain community of Alishan was also believed to be cut off, and with rain still falling in the area, prospects for an early resumption of overland travel were poor.
Other areas across Taiwan also saw landslides and flooding. A six-story hotel was washed away as were many homes.
"We saw an entire hotspring area being wiped out and vehicles buried," said Wu Chao-neng as he got off a helicopter in Cishan after being rescued from a landslide in another village.

Two Major Earthquakes Within 15 Minutes of Each Other
Two Earthquakes Strike Indian Ocean Region, Japan (Update1)
Share | Email | Print | A A A
By Mark Tannenbaum and Aaron Sheldrick
Aug. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Two potentially destructive earthquakes struck minutes apart in the Indian Ocean and Japan today, generating tsunami alerts for India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh and Japan.
The larger of the two quakes was a magnitude-7.6 temblor that hit the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. It was followed less than 15 minutes later by a 6.6-magnitude quake in Japan southwest of Tokyo.
The tsunami watch was later canceled, the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, adding that no significant tsunami was generated. The alert was in effect for as long as three hours after the quake struck parts of India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand and Bangladesh, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The Andaman quake struck at a depth of 33 kilometers (21 miles) at about 1:55 a.m. local time and was centered 260 kilometers north of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands, or about 825 kilometers west of Bangkok, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
A magnitude-9.1 earthquake that hit off the coast of Aceh in northern Sumatra in December 2004 triggered a tsunami that swept across the Indian Ocean, leaving more than 229,000 dead or missing from Southeast Asia to eastern Africa.
In Japan, the national weather agency said a magnitude-6.6 earthquake struck Tsuruga Bay area southwest of Tokyo early today. The USGS measured the quake as a magnitude-6.4. A tsunami warning was issued and a 30-centimeter (1-foot) wave hit the coast about 20 minutes later, NHK Television said
The earthquake struck at 5:07 a.m. local time 20 kilometers below the seabed, about 170 kilometers southwest of Tokyo near the Izu peninsula, the agency said on its Web site.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

An Ocean of Similitudes, Are You In The Ark of Jesus Christ by Faith?
I was reminded while scanning the current news stories, of the Lord giving us important instructions of what to look for as signs of his return.
Luke 21:25-26
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
We have seen repeated signs in the sun, moon, and stars. We see distress after distress of nations with perplexity, meaning there appears to be no way out. We have the U.S.Government which has become such a spectacle that it rivals Cirque De Soleil or for you older folks, Ringling Bro.& Barnum & Baily Circus. A virtual gazing stock for all to marvel and wag their heads at it, as we all watch the fall of it in seemingly slow motion. Like watching a terrible auto accident and are unable to look away.
The pictures to the right of Pres.Obama including the one a little lower of his health care logo, are a cant miss for anyone with any discernment at all, glaring, screaming in your face similitude of prophetic fulfillment. The word of God states for anyone who can read, that the time just prior to his 2nd coming would be as in the days of Noah and Sodom & Egypt. Pastor Meyer preached a message a few years ago called The Day of The Bolted Door. He gave a much needed message about the parable which uses the language,
Luke 13:25
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
In the same way Noah and his were put into the ark 40 days before the flood came, and God had closed the door of the ark, those outside began to see they were in trouble. But it was too late. The language "shut to the door", means to bolt it shut. This parallels the scripture that says there was silence in heaven half an hour. There is to be a brief period when there is no more rejoicing in heaven, when there will no more repentance on earth. The parable of the 10 virgins shows us that we need to be prepared, being filled with the Holy Ghost and not chasing after cunningly devised fables.
We are swimming in a sea of prophetic similitude. The abundance of signs is comparable to a tsunami. There happening at such a fast rate we have things that point to his return daily. The earth before his return is compared to a woman in travail. As the birth draws nigh, the labor pains become more intense and much closer together until its suddenly over. This is what we are seeing now. The recent flurry of earthquakes between Baja and Mexico was accompanied in the same 24 hr period by 8 not counting the 4 in California,earthquakes that were over 4.0 on the Richter Scale. There were many more than that that were less. The earthquakes are now coming in flurries or rapid succession like contractions. The whole of creation is groaning under the weight of great sin and rebellion against God. I feel much more recently this urgency in my spirit. Not panic, but urgency to be ready. We must soldier on, calling on our God with faith for his deliverance. That we may be hid in the day of his great indignation, and to be accounted worthy by his sacrifice at the cross to stand before him clothed in the white garment of his righteousness without spot or blemish.
The scriptures indicate that the seat of Anti-Christ and the false prophet are a type of the counterfeit system set up by Satan. It is historically documented that the Luciferian witches that run the world bank, themselves held a prophesy seminar in Europe sometime in the 19th century, & invited American evangelists to come over. This was the root of the Dispensationalism first brought here by Darby then advanced by Scofield. All of this was a Papal response to the Vatican and the seat of the Pope being exposed as the seat of Anti-Christ by Martin Luther, who preached this truth. I cover this not to say there is not a final Anti-Christ that will rise up , as we have seen in similitude this may very well happen. But we are to look at today and having done all in preparation in the Gospel to be able to stand in the evil day, today. So knowing this, take you pick out of the sea of images of the beast. The sea of humanity, the dragon in the sea who is the spirit of Anti-Christ, Satan,the point being we need not look to tomorrow for an Anti-Christ to rise up as we have a sea of them before us. Lord help us to be ready for thy soon coming, which is nigh, even at the door.
Isaiah 27:1
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Luke 21:25-26
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Antidepressant use doubles in U.S., study finds
Tue Aug 4, 2009 10:44am EDT
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Use of antidepressant drugs in the United States doubled between 1996 and 2005, probably because of a mix of factors, researchers reported on Monday.
About 6 percent of people were prescribed an antidepressant in 1996 -- 13 million people. This rose to more than 10 percent or 27 million people by 2005, the researchers found.
"Significant increases in antidepressant use were evident across all sociodemographic groups examined, except African Americans," Dr. Mark Olfson of Columbia University in New York and Steven Marcus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia wrote in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
"Not only are more U.S. residents being treated with antidepressants, but also those who are being treated are receiving more antidepressant prescriptions," they added.
More than 164 million prescriptions were written in 2008 for antidepressants, totaling $9.6 billion in U.S. sales, according to IMS Health.
Drugs that affect the brain chemical serotonin like GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil, known generically as paroxetine, and Eli Lilly and Co's Prozac, known generically as fluoxetine, are the most commonly prescribed class of antidepressant. But the study found the effect in all classes of the drugs.
Olfson and Marcus looked at the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys done by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, involving more than 50,000 people in 1996 and 2005.
"During this period, individuals treated with antidepressants became more likely to also receive treatment with antipsychotic medications and less likely to undergo psychotherapy," they wrote.
SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE
The survey did not look at why, but the researchers made some educated guesses. It may be more socially acceptable to be diagnosed with and treated for depression, they said. The availability of new drugs may also have been a factor.
"Although there was little change in total promotional spending for antidepressants between 1999 ($0.98 billion) and 2005 ($1.02 billion), there was a marked increase in the percentage of this spending that was devoted to direct-to consumer advertising, from 3.3 percent ($32 million) to 12 percent ($122.00 million)," they added.
Dr. Eric Caine of the University of Rochester in New York said he was concerned by the findings. "Antidepressants are only moderately effective on population level," he said in a telephone interview.
Caine, who was not involved in the research, noted that several studies show therapy is as effective as, if not more effective than, drug use alone.
"There are no data to say that the population is healthier. Indeed, the suicide rate in the middle years of life has been climbing," he said.
Olfson and Marcus said out-of-pocket costs for psychotherapy and lower insurance coverage for such visits may have driven patients away from seeing therapists in favor of an easy-to-prescribe pill.
The rise in antidepressant prescriptions also is seen despite a series of public health warnings on use of antidepressant drugs beginning in 2003 after clinical trials showed they increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and teens.
In February 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration added its strongest warning, a so-called black box, on the use of all antidepressants in children and teens.

Mental illness tidal wave swamps New Orleans
City's care system shrinking, coming undone

NEW ORLEANS
A mental health crisis that has swamped this city's care facilities as surely as Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters washed over the Lower 9th Ward is about to become even worse, care providers say.
New Orleans already is struggling with fewer than half of the inpatient beds for the mentally ill that it had before the 2005 hurricane - even as suicide rates and the number of people with mental health problems have doubled.
That shortage is about to become even more acute with the scheduled closing Sept. 1 of the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH), the city's only public hospital still providing inpatient services for the mentally ill.
The closure, designed to trim $14 million from the state's 2010 budget, will leave New Orleans with 133 beds for mental health inpatient care and will make the city jail - with 60 of those beds - the city's largest psychiatric ward.

Before Katrina, "We had a functional system, not a Rolls-Royce, but we managed to treat patients," said Dr. Kevin U. Stephens, director of health for the city of New Orleans.

Before Katrina, "We had a functional system, not a Rolls-Royce, but we managed to treat patients," said Dr. Kevin U. Stephens, director of health for the city of New Orleans.

State funding for mental health services has risen steadily since the storm, from $37.4 million in 2006 to $74.4 million this year. Even so, Dr. Stephens said, "We have no real significant inpatient capability, and outpatient treatment is limited."
White House boo hoos over video clips on Drudge Report
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is turning to the Internet to hit back at a Web posting that claims to show President Barack Obama explaining how his health care reform plans eventually would eliminate private insurance.
The three-minute White House video features Linda Douglas, a former network television correspondent and now White House Office of Health Reform communications director, sitting in front of a computer screen showing the Drudge Report Web site. That site carries a series of video clips from another blogger who strings together selected Obama statements on health care to make it appear he wants to eliminate the private health insurance business.
In the video Douglas says the site is "taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they're cobbling them together to leave a very false impression."

Mysterious Loud Booms in the Northwest US
Blame Canada: Source of booming sounds revealed?

Even though -- as with any intriguing mystery -- the pieces of the puzzle never seem to quite fit, explosive ordnance training in Canada may explain the booming sounds heard in Port Angeles last week.
Several readers living in or near Port Angeles have reported loud booms shaking their homes.
Possible explanations involving naval and Coast Guard exercises in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Air Force flyovers, thunderstorms and permitted explosions have not fit the bill.
But perhaps providing the most likely explanation is explosive ordnance training that occurred on a small island near Race Rocks last week.
The public affairs office with the Canadian Navy in Esquimalt on Vancouver Island, after being previously unaware of it, confirmed Friday that the training did occur on Bentinck Island.
Spokesman Gerry Pash said the training, which involves small plastic explosives in order to destroy beach obstacles, occurred from last Monday through Friday.
"We would be putting off charges of a couple of pounds of plastic explosive to train in cutting steel from a beach, clearing or removing logs and that kind of stuff," he said.
A likely explanation?
Perhaps not, if Pash was correct in saying that the island had not been used any other time during July.
Two, three weeks ago
James Kaahill, who lives off of Deer Park Road, said Friday that he was nearly knocked out of bed by a loud boom that shook his home about two or three weeks ago.
"It shook the whole house and shook my bed and damn near shook me out of it," said Kaahill, 91.
He said he did not think too much about the incident, which occurred sometime between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. that day, until he read about other people having their homes shaken by loud booms in Friday's Peninsula Daily News.
Pash said explosives training on Bentinck Island is nothing new.
In fact, munitions detonated on the island were blamed for loud booms heard around Port Angeles in 1982.
Pash said explosives training occurs there several times a year, and could have started before World War II.
"I've been here for 20 years, and this is the first time that I've had complaints from across the Strait," he said.
"We've had, certainly, complaints from neighbors from this side of the water," he added.
But if Bentinck Island is to blame, why would we not hear the explosions every time?
National Weather Service meteorologist Jeff Michalski said the weather could provide the explanation.
Carry over water
Michalski said a "low level inversion layer," which means that the air is warmer in the higher elevations, had been in place over the area last week.
He said that may trap sound waves closer to the surface, and therefore, allowing them to be heard over greater distances.
Pash said Bentinck Island is scheduled to be used again for explosives training from Sept. 9-10, Sept. 14-17 and on Oct. 2.
And what about seismic activity?
Lucy Walsh, a student researcher at the University of Washington's Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, said a loud boom caused by an earthquake could be heard close to a fault line as long as the quake was of significant magnitude.
"When you hear big sounds, a large portion of this rock is being uplifted or shifted," she said.
"That doesn't happen with small magnitude earthquakes."
The seismic network, in the last two weeks, has reported two 1-magnitude quakes in Neah Bay and near Victoria, and a 2-magnitude quake in southern Vancouver Island, but nothing of greater strength in the area.

Earthquake Update
6.9 quake in Baja California rattles office workers in San Diego [Updated]
11:48 AM | August 3, 2009
Quake415
A 6.9 earthquake this morning in Baja California was felt in the San Diego area, prompting some people to evacuate a downtown San Diego office tower.
The temblor hit about 360 miles south of the California border, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. TV news footage showed some office workers milling outside San Diego high-rise buildings, and the local NBC affiliate reported that people had left City Hall.
The temblor struck about 11 a.m. in the Gulf of California, about 49 miles from Santa Isabel. There was no immediate word of damage or injuries.
[Updated at noon: There were several moderate temblors in the same part of the Gulf of California before the 6.9 earthquake struck, and officials said this might be a quake swarm.
Officials have not issued a tsumani warning in the wake of the quakes. A preliminary estimate placed the temblor's epicenter about 4 1/2 miles underground.
According to the USGS's Did You Feel It? Web page, the quake was felt in San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Orange and elsewhere.]

4 Large Earthquakes off the Coast of Baja
Strong earthquake hits off northwest Mexico
03 Aug 2009 19:03:15 GMT
Source: Reuters
(Adds detail, changes dateline, pvs WASHINGTON)
TIJUANA, Mexico, Aug 3 (Reuters) - A strong 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off Baja California in northwestern Mexico on Monday, shaking buildings as far away as San Diego, California, and raising fears of a small tsunami.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck inside the Sea of Cortez, 76 miles (122 km) from the town of Santa Isabel on the Baja California peninsula and was 6.2 miles (10 km) deep. The figures were revised from its initial estimates.
There were no initial reports of deaths or serious damage. Baja California, home to desert and mountains, is sparsely populated.
The quake was felt strongly in San Diego just across the border from Mexico and City Hall was evacuated, local media said.
"It felt very calm, there was barely a vibration," said hotel receptionist Graciela Alvarado at a motel in the town of Caborca, in the Mexican state of Sonora, across from Baja California.
Local authorities and the USGS warned there was a risk of a small, localized tsunami in the area but no official tsunami warning for the main Pacific coastline.
"There's a very high risk this could occur," said Baja California emergency services director Alfredo Escobedo.
The area attracts U.S. tourists. (Reporting by Lizbeth Diaz in Tijuana and Cyntia Barrera in Mexico City)

Kings of the East Full of Astrology, Just Like American Leaders
Eclipse swells the Ganges
Date: July 23 2009
Matt Wade Herald Correspondent in New Delhi
SCIENTIFIC curiosity mingled with religious devotion and superstition on the subcontinent yesterday as the longest solar eclipse this century turned the dawn to darkness across a swathe of north India.
As the moon blocked the rising sun, vast crowds flocked to the Ganges River to bathe, believing it would purify them.
An estimated 1.5 million Hindus immersed themselves near the holy city of Kurukshetra while tens of thousands more bathed at Varanasi and Allahabad, where the eclipse, which lasted there about three minutes, was clearly visible.
However, superstition meant millions more simply stayed indoors as the skies darkened.
According to Hindu tradition, astrologer Dr V.K. Shashtri told the Herald, an eclipse brings the Sun God under the shadow of demon planets.
"Since the Sun God himself is in trouble, devotees are expected to show restraint during the time of an eclipse," he said. "They should keep indoors, avoid beginning new work and pregnant women must keep away from sunrays during this inauspicious time."
In Hyderabad, there were reports that milkmen, paper delivery boys and cleaners skipped their morning duties rather than venture out on the morning of an eclipse.
A well-known Vedic astrologer, V.K. Chaudhary, said that for three days around the time of an eclipse people were more vulnerable to health and other problems.
People who were "highly placed", such as political leaders, were in more danger than usual of being disgraced, he said.
Astrologers also urged expectant mothers to avoid giving birth around the time of the eclipse if possible.
"Anything that begins today, whether it is a life or a business venture, is vulnerable to acute problems and failure," Mr Chaudhary said.
Hospitals reported some pregnant women chose to have their babies induced before the eclipse and others avoided caesareans for several days before and after the eclipse.
"No one wants an eclipse baby," Dr Abha Majumdar from Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital told the Hindustan Times.
The eclipse dimmed the sky above New Delhi at about 6.30 am. Despite the warnings, millions of Indians ventured out to watch - but many were thwarted by monsoon clouds.

Stars Alligned for Healthcare
Obama - 'stars are aligned' for healthcare reform
WASHINGTON, July 22 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that the "stars are aligned" to pass healthcare reform legislation and Congress should take advantage of that opportunity.
Obama told reporters at a televised White House news conference that he supports creating a special commission of doctors and experts to come up with ways on how to reduce healthcare costs. (Writing by Tom Doggett)

King of The East Cursed
The picture to the right is the full eclipse from July 09, there was a partial eclipse at the beginning of the month also. Both signs from the Almighty. Many would say its just the cycle of the solar system, not some divine intervention. God says otherwise.This particular eclipse lasting 6 min. 39 sec. is the longest of the century and cut a massive swath of darkness over the kings of the east. The majority of whom bemoan this as a terrible curse and ran about in fear and dread, while others in India hurried to the Ganges River to ritually wash themselves in the female representation of the Moon Goddess manifest by the eclipse and the river. In America this may seem strange but less and less so and astrology is all the rage and people cannot get enough of paganism whether disguised or not.
Isa 13:10-11
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

These are just a few of the many, many scriptures you may find in the Word of God regarding the central role of the sun, moon and stars as signs of his coming.

Nazi 4th Reich Eugenics In Your Face
Many of you may or may not be aware of the extensive human torture and research done in the death camps of Nazi Germany. This is important to be aware of as we are on the thresh hold of many things tested in the past during the Nazi's 3rd Reich. If we step back and look at the massive evidence now in plain sight, it shocks the conscience of any who has a conscience left. To comprehend that a good portion of the inner core of the SS and Nazi leadership where smuggled out, many with false identities given them by the Vatican. The SS and scientists where brought to America to start what became the CIA and NASA. Now, consider the tests done on African American's in the 20th Century in America to limit or eliminate births. We now have a Science Czar (christ), who is highly thought of by Pres. Obama who endorses possible forces abortions by law and also sterilization, to control population growth.
We know that this is against Almighty God and a form of human sacrifice. But for a moment if you considered their argument, population growth is not a problem is the United States. Illegal immigration and sanctioned immigration from all over the world to water down and make America a modern day Babylon are a problem. We know from the Word of God that the kings of the east will come in like a flood, and have as a result of Americans falling for the deception of eastern religion and philosophy.God said that whoever worships false gods, he will allow their wealth and prosperity to be taken by those whose god's are worshiped. This is a sign from God he is allowing the destruction of this country and the world. If anyone reading this has any conscience left, any shred of faith in Jesus Christ, get ready, call out to God will your whole heart in repentance.
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Call on him while there is still time, there is a flood of evil come upon the whlole world. God is giving us all a last few precious moments of time to repent, then time will stop and whatever state your in when he appears is how you will be for all eternity.

In Order to save this village, we must burn it to the ground!
The front center post of Drudge Report shows Vice President Biden with is mouth covered by his hand and the caption reads "We have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt." This apparently was an actual quote from the VP. I posted the link for those who doubt the VP could say something so crazy. This is the same direction that the current administration has been moving. George Orwell in the famous book 1984, outlines the concept of double speak. Also and more importantly called double mindedness by God Almighty. Those who are working and serving the spirit of Anti-Christ must master this demonic ability as it enables them to confuse undiscerning people and lead them to believe they actually support the good and righteous way known to all who have been given a conscience by God Almighty. The bible says that the conscience has a central role in the up coming judgment day, in that no one will be able to say they did not know any better as God gave everyone a conscience which will either justify or condemn the individual, for those who have rejected the salvation of Jesus Christ paid for with his own blood. So the concept of double speak is in full swing as it diametrically opposes what any sound financial adviser would tell you to do if your in trouble. When your in trouble you save money and cut back on spending there by shoring up the banking industry as deposits grow. The reason they do not want people believing this as they have looted the treasury in broad daylight. It has been said that the most successful covert operation is one that is done in plain sight for all to see. Now that is of course if you have a sound banking system unlike the scam of the fractional reserve system we now have. The biggest coup in these United States was not the over arching and completely dominating New World Order being enforced, but rather the quiet coup in 1913 when without an official break being called by congress, a small corrupt few managed to pass the Federal Reserve act on Christmas evening when everyone had left without a quorum call. They used a loophole to destroy the country by privatizing the bank system and giving the power to issue currency into the hands of a small cabal of Bankers, not unlike the money changers our Lord was so angry with in the temple. Even Woodrow Wilson who participated in this coup saw later that he had ruined the country. Garfield, Lincoln, and JFK all got a notion to try to help this country which was once great, and while not Christian, had a strong remnant of believers that God blessed.They were all killed for rebelling against these families of International Bankers. The Illuminati conspiracy was at work parallel the entire time and intrigue surrounded the first days of this nation. One thing is for sure, the death of the nation happened already, they just have not held the funeral yet. When will people realize the simplest of truths given us by our God, The Lord Jesus Christ, You will know a tree by the fruit that it bears, not the words that come out of its mouth.! Lord help us all to be ready for they soon coming and even having started already, righteous judgment. The politicians who have taken over this corrupt government at the behest of these global dominating banking families and lets not forget the Vatican, whose money and vast trans-generational wealth they manage, do not care about our financial well being or even our health. They all conspire to shorten out lives by many methods, including dumping large quantities of drugs in the water and food. God help us, the end is come upon us all. The title of this post is a saying that originates in the occult. The people who are in power believe that in order to save the earth and the small percentage of illuminated elite, they must destroy many people and things in the world so that it can rise like the phoenix out of the ashes. So in essence they say, In order to save this global village we must burn it to the ground. Either by war , famine, pandemic and chaos, this is their goal. Having people in a constant state of fear for the overall welfare of themselves and their families is in fact the state of mind you want people in for the global trauma based mind control now being implemented to be the most effective. Something to think about......

Catholic Veil on a professing Christian who is really Muslim?
Many of you may have seen the picture of President and Mrs. Obama and their photo op with Pope Nazinger....sorry Ratzinger, wait Benedict, well you get my meaning. It is a thought provoking picture and the Mrs. is wearing what appears to be an Catholic/ Islamic head covering, the point being they are both very similar. We remember that she was unable to accompany the President when he was crowned King of the Nile and the new King Tut Pharaoh of the world in Egypt, and Son of the Sun God in Saudi Arabia. There is historical evidence that indicates that The Vatican actually recruited Mohamed using one of its own nuns in order to create an opposing system invoking the ancient method of the dialectic, using the opposite and the conflict to water down the truth and synthesize the desired resulting error. It always causes an up roar to even come close to saying anything negative about Islam so to intimate they were started by Catholicism would cause a frenzy of protest if mentioned in the mainstream media. I don't speak against any race of people, but I do speak against a counterfeit religion that claims to be a religion of decent from Abraham, akin to Judaism which is about as Christian as Satanism, and the two, Islam & Catholicism, are 180 degrees opposite of true biblical Christianity. Judaism is the modern day spawn of Babylonian witchcraft as the Babylonian Talmud bears its name, not old testament worship according to the books of Moses as some falsely believe. Islam denies that God had a son and Judaism says that the messiah has not come.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him
John 3:35-36 .
They must have missed this verse. Although the real problem is they don't see the KJV bible as the preserved Word of God, but only a book among many historical references in which they take what they want and leave the rest. Making them the authors of their own salvation which makes them thieves and robbers trying to enter into the sheepfold according to the Word of God.
John 10:1
10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
KJV
Its extremely clear that 2 of the 3 supposed labeled Abrahamic religions are diametrically opposed to biblical Christianity. You may disagree with my position, but anyone with 2 brain cells working and a little effort will find the 2, Islam/Catholic religions are completely opposed to the teachings of the Christian Bible. The only thing they have in common is their claiming something to do with Abraham. So my original point, why is Michelle Obama wearing an Catholic or maybe appearing as an Islamic headdress at the Vatican to meet the pope. She doesn't claim to be Catholic. I submit to the reader she is wearing it because in the upper levels of secret society they know who the boss's are and there are many many Catholic churches around the world in close proximity to Islamic Mosques. I am told that lace is forbidden by Sharia Law, but we cant say for sure from a picture clearly enough it is lace or not. It is suspect either way as true bible believing Christians would not be wearing anything on their head, save the invisible seal of the Holy Ghost. Something to think about as our current President has both claimed we are not a Christian nation, and we are a nation with deep Islamic ties. On the surface it would appear that he is in error as a small percentage of the population is Islamic. However behind the scenes in the Scottish Rite Esoteric Lodge, and in the Shriners there are in fact deep Islamic ties and traditions. So I ask you , who is really running America?

WHO IS TRULY INSANE?
Many have joked and told someone they know," your insane", it turns out that the bibles tells us about insanity and tells us the truth as always in all things.
2 Tim 3:1:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. KJV
The word in this verse, perilous, means raging spirutal insanity. This is interesting as the Lord tells us that scripture is spiritually discerned, meaning its revealed by the Holy Ghost to us, not figured out in the carnal mind.
1 Cor 2:14
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. KJV
So many sincere well meaning people who have not yet been truly converted, but confess the name of the Lord Jesus, are still in their carnal minds, and by definintion spiritually insane. Insanity is when you cannot cope with reality. It is apparrent that many professing Christians when confronted with the reality that God's word clearly indicates we are in the last generation, go deeper into denial and having their true hope in this present world are unable to cope with reality, and by definition, are spiritually insane. This is an all to prevelant condition in people in the many false churches. Some will immediatlely rise up and say dont judge, dont judge, your judging, judge, judge, judge.......to quote our dear Pastor Meyer!
To them we say this important verse from scripture...
John 7:24
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgmentKJV
What we say is we do not condemn. God's small remnant must judge righteously, meaning we confess the truth and call sin, sin. This is not well received much of the time, even by professing Christians. The only thing that will convert a soul is the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as in the pure undefiled KJV bible which used the uncorrupted manuscripts that God preserved for us. So churches that omit any truth in this day of confusion and raging spritual insanity, are not converting souls but lying to them.....if your in a dead church cry out to God and be willing to leave and he says he has called us out.....
2 Cor 6:17
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, KJV
2 Tim 3:1:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. KJV
