Obama and The Antichrist Prophecy.

The meteoric rise of Barack Obama`s popularity and political power not only surprised many Americans but the world as well.Not only was he a one term senator but his obvious lack of government experience and young age made his presidential aspirations seem impossible at first.To make matters worse his middle name is Hussein(an obvious Arabic/muslim name) and his first name rhymes with Osama.It would seem in a post 9/11 America Mr.Obama would have a hard time running for local city council office leave alone the United states presidency.Yet seemingly against all odds did he not only run for the presidency but also won by what the media called a 'landslide victory'.This had led many to speculate on the possibility of Barack Obama being the biblical antichrist prophecied to appear during the end times in the book of revelations.Barack Obama is not only eloquent and very articulate in his speech,he seems to be able to hypnotize and woo massive crowds with his voice and emotional stirring slogans.It is not hard to see why some may consider him to be the antichrist when the whole world seems to be enchanted and amazed by him.However according to the bible,the antichrist is expected to rise out of the old Roman empire,the modern day European Union not the United states as many are tempted to think.The antichrist is to appear after major wars have devastated the planet and put the majority of the world population through untold anguish and misery.The antichrist is expected to perform signs and wonders that will seem to prove his superhuman powers,Obama has not even mastered the telepropmter yet.As global current events unfold it is important to sharpen our historical knowledge and build our biblical knowledge,the bible says if it were possible even the elect will be deceived.As christians we should always keep in mind apostle Paul`s advice to the ephesians "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (eph 6 10-11)

Obama orders 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.

President Barack Obama has ordered some 30,000 more American troops to Afghanistan starting early 2010.
In his highly anticipated speech on a new Afghanistan war strategy, President Obama said the United States did not "ask for this fight," saying that the war started in response to the 911 al-Qaida terror attacks that killed nearly three-thousand people in Newyork city.
Mr. Obama also said that what is at stake in the war is not only NATO's credibility, but the common security of the world.

World powers turn up heat on Iran

World powers have increased pressure on Iran, urging the country to reveal the nature of its nuclear programme during six-party talks in Geneva on Thursday.

A spokesman for the German chancellor said Iran was "comprehensively failing to co-operate".

The earthquake struck at 5.16pm (10.16 GMT), 78 kilometres (48 miles) southwest of the city of Padang in West Sumatra, along the same fault line that spawned the 2004 Asian tsunami.

Iran test fires 'long-range' missiles

Tehran tested a number of short- and medium-range missiles on Sunday and said its second uranium enrichment plant, revealed to the world last week, was ready to withstand any attack. The US, UK and others have said the plant was part of Iran's covert plans to build nuclear weapons in defiance of international agreements and contrary to Iran's assertion that its nuclear programme was for civilian purposes only.

Israel has also threatened air strikes to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear warhead but General Hossein Salami, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Air Force, said: "We are going to respond to any military action in a crushing manner and it doesn't make any difference which country or regime has launched the aggression."

Obama: 'Iran is on notice'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama said Friday that "Iran is on notice" regarding its nuclear efforts, and that the international community is united in its opposition to Tehran's nuclear program.
"Iran is on notice that, when we meet with them on October 1, they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice: Are they willing to go down the path to greater prosperity and security for Iran -- giving up the acquisition of nuclear weapons and deciding that they are willing to abide by international rules and standards in their pursuit of peaceful nuclear energy, or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation," he said in a news conference at the G-20 meeting here.

Obama`s nuclear arms resolution-A set up for War?

A rare meeting of U.N. Security Council heads of state, led for the first time by a U.S. president, adopted a resolution Thursday focused on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.

"The world must stand together," Obama said. "We must demonstrate that international law is not an empty promise."

It was the first Security Council summit chaired by a U.S. president, and only the fifth time that Security Council heads of state have met. Obama led the meeting because the United States holds the revolving presidency of the Security Council in September.
President Obama challenged the gathering, which included leaders of nuclear powers including Russia, China, Great Britain and France, to overcome cynicism against the goal of ridding the planet of nuclear arms.

Obama Urged to Ready Tougher Iran Sanctions, Military Strike

By Janine Zacharia

(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. should begin preparing crippling sanctions on Iran and publicly make clear that a military strike is possible should the Iranian government press ahead with its nuclear effort, a bipartisan policy group said.

“If biting sanctions do not persuade the Islamic Republic to demonstrate sincerity in negotiations and give up its enrichment activities, the White House will have to begin serious consideration of the option of a U.S.-led military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities,” said the study from the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington.

World Health Officials Say Two Billion People May Contract Swine Flu

The World Health Organization predicts the H1N1 Swine Flu virus will infect two billion people, or one out of every three persons, over the next two years. While this flu has already killed 800, the WHO says thousands more could die unless an effective vaccine is developed soon. This year's pandemic spread around the globe with record-breaking speed. It has taken less than two months for the H1N1 swine flu to spread, while previous pandemics took six months or longer.

Yet Dr. Keiji Fukuda of the World Health Organization warns this global outbreak is still in the early stages. "We have a very large global population, and it is quite clear that we'll continue to see spread of this virus through countries, and then among countries," he said. read More

World's Stocks Controlled by Select Few

WASHINGTON -- A recent analysis of the 2007 financial markets of 48 countries has revealed that the world's finances are in the hands of just a few mutual funds, banks, and corporations. This is the first clear picture of the global concentration of financial power, and point out the worldwide financial system's vulnerability as it stood on the brink of the current economic crisis.

A pair of physicists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich did a physics-based analysis of the world economy as it looked in early 2007. Stefano Battiston and James Glattfelder extracted the information from the tangled yarn that links 24,877 stocks and 106,141 shareholding entities in 48 countries, revealing what they called the "backbone" of each country's financial market. These backbones represented the owners of 80 percent of a country's market capital, yet consisted of remarkably few shareholders. More

Journalist Fired Over Flu Pandemic Lawsuit

Austrian journalist Jane Bürgermeister, who recently filed criminal charges with the FBI against the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and several high ranking government and corporate officials concerning bioterrorism, has been fired from her job.“On Monday, I was unexpectedly fired from my job as European Correspondent of the Renewable Energy World website,” Bürgermeister writes on her blog.

“There is proof many organizations — World Health Organization, UN as well as vaccine companies such as Baxter and Novartis — are part of a single system under the control of a core criminal group, who give the strategic leadership, and who have also funded the development, manufacturing and release of artificial viruses in order to justify mass vaccinations with a bioweapon substance in order to eliminate the people of the USA, and so gain control of the assets, resources etc of North America.”

Bürgermeister says the core group sets its strategic goals in secret using the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg meetings. “It can be identified as the ‘Illuminati,’ a mafia-like group with family dynasties at its center.” It is the “world’s first truly global crime syndicate” based in “off shore banking centers” and employs international organizations such as the UN and WHO.

In her lawsuit, Bürgermeister alleges that a manufactured flu pandemic “is part of a long term plan by the syndicate, who have built large numbers of FEMA concentration camps with incinerators and prepared mass graves in state such as Indiana and in New York to quarantine people and dispose of the bodies of the people who are killed by the bioweapons attack.” Read More

UN Says New Currency Is Needed to Fix Broken ‘Confidence Game’

Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar’s role in international trade should be reduced by establishing a new currency to protect emerging markets from the “confidence game” of financial speculation, the United Nations said.

UN countries should agree on the creation of a global reserve bank to issue the currency and to monitor the national exchange rates of its members, the Geneva-based UN Conference on Trade and Development said today in a report.

China, India, Brazil and Russia this year called for a replacement to the dollar as the main reserve currency after the financial crisis sparked by the collapse of the U.S. mortgage market led to the worst global recession since World War II. China, the world’s largest holder of dollar reserves, said a supranational currency such as the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights, or SDRs, may add stability.

Mass Mind Control is Upon Us - It's Time to Awaken Your Consciousness

Many people may not realize that when they turn on the television in their home, what they see as a constant flow of images is actually flickering. Although we do not see this consciously, the repetitive pattern of flickering images creates a state that is similar to hypnosis in the television viewer. Studies by researcher Herbert Krugman have shown that within 30 seconds of television viewing, brain waves switch from predominantly beta waves, indicating alert and conscious attention, to predominantly alpha waves, indicating an unfocused, receptive lack of attention. The brain's left hemisphere, which processes information logically and analytically, tunes out while the person is watching TV, while the right hemisphere of the brain, which processes information emotionally and non-critically, is allowed to function without hindrance. Due to this phenomenon, television transmits information, which is not actively thought about at the time of exposure, much like hypnosis. When viewing television, we do not consciously rationalize the information resonating within our unconscious depths at the time of transmission and the viewer becomes more open and suggestible.

WHO raises pandemic flu alert level to phase 5

GENEVA (AP) — The World Health Organization has raised its pandemic alert for swine flu to the second highest level, meaning that it believes a global outbreak of the disease is imminent.

WHO says the phase 5 alert means there is sustained human to human spread in at least two countries. It also signals that efforts to produce a vaccine will be ramped up.

WHO has confirmed human cases of swine flu in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Britain, Israel, New Zealand and Spain. Mexico and the U.S. have reported deaths.

WHO Director-General Margaret Chan made the decision Wednesday to raise the alert level from phase 4 — signifying transmission in only one country — after reviewing the latest scientific evidence on the outbreak.
