Christians & Truthers

So what's the difference between Christians and (9/11)Truthers? Well, as far as I can see, not much. In fact, you could say that the experience of converting to Christianity and becoming a Truther is similar. Christians talk of being “born again” whilst Truthers speak of “waking up”. Both experience a transformational shift in world view. Both belief systems place emphasis on seeking the “truth”. The search for the truth involves the intellect and takes effort to sift through the disinformation and distractions. One searches for evidence in written records, eye-witness accounts, scientific inquiry and history. Heroes and villains are identified for commendation or condemnation. Either system will propel the adherent to action of some kind in the world around him or her.

You can go on for years searching for information but there comes a time when you have to pin your colours to the mast and commit to adopting or rejecting either view. The price of commitment is often division in the family, loss of friendships and becoming the target of ridicule and labelling like “religious fanatic” or “conspiracy nut”. It is not a stance that one takes lightly.

If Christians and Truthers have so much in common, you would think that Christians would be sympathetic to Truthers. Remember, to the non-believer, religion looks like conspiracy theory. Christians, more than anyone else, should know what it is like to commit to a world view that runs against the current of the generally accepted, to go as a sheep amongst the wolves. You would think...

Over this last week I have started to frequent a Christian discussion forum site with the aim of gauging the current thoughts and attitudes of Christians to the New World Order and 9/11 etc and to foster debate and try “waking up” some Christians . Well, how illuminating. Over several threads about 9/11, NWO, Bush and Obama, it became clear that almost all the posters were adherents of the mainstream media propaganda and anything to the contrary was dismissed outright as “not another truther/conspiracy nut!”. There was no debate, no examination of the evidence and only the most feeble attempts to address any issue by parroting the official story. I was surprised and saddened.

I now have a better appreciation for the power of media to feed us with a contrived reality and the ease at which it is swallowed, regardless of one's belief in Christ. Jesus won the battle for our souls on Calvery, and we are filled with Spirit when first we believe. However, our minds can remain locked in this matrix like world, totally unregenerate. Yes, our moral minds are pulled out of the gutter by the Spirit, but our perception of the physical world goes on largely unchanged. To push the analogy, it's possible to be born again but to remain sound asleep.

We have a responsibility to have an accurate and reliable understanding of the world to be able to effectively operate in it for whatever mission God has placed us here for. Does not a military strategist gather as much intelligence as he can on the enemy before planning for battle? This post WW2 generation has quickly forgotten how bad government can get when only a small but influential element can steer the state into satanic mayhem. Why should our western governments be immune?

Anyway, why not try spending less time hanging around www.infowars.com where we are preaching to the converted and visit some mainstream forums. You might find this more palatable than going down to the mall and handing out 9/11 flyers!

The Big Lie

Looks like Iran's President Ahmadinejad has been spending too much time listening to 9/11 Truthers and Alex Jones. He has recently made comments that he didn't buy the official story about 9/11 and that it was a "big lie" that was used by the US as an excuse for a war on terror.

Iran's Ahmadinejad: Sept. 11 attacks a 'big lie'

"September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war on terror and a prelude to invading Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by state TV. He called the attacks a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."

It doesn't prove anything, but it's a fascinating comment to be made by a leader on the world stage.

Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport!

Here's a good Aussie story.

In 1957 Rolf Harris sung about a dying stockman getting his affairs in order before he shuffles off and one of his concerns was to ensure that his kangaroo was immobilised with rope. I don't know why this was important to the old guy, but he would have died peacefully knowing he didn't have to tie it down, just let it be fluoridated to death instead.

Kangaroos poisoned by fluoride

It is stunning that the ABC story fails to recognise that fluoride is put in the drinking water of human beings and that this might be of some concern to those of us who are forced to drink it.

Australian Fluoridation News

Fluoride Action Network

Why is our water medicated with fluoride? Why would the government care so much about supposedly preventing tooth decay when they show so little support for public dental programs? Our pensioners end up pulling their own teeth with pliers because they can no longer bear the pain on the long waiting list for public dental care. The following video makes the point that the initial reason for fluoridating water supplies was actually to provide an inexpensive way for industry to dispose of fluoride waste.

Can it get worse, yes it can. The Nazi chemists worked out that the toxic effects of fluoride was a way of controlling large populations conveniently by effecting sterility levels in females and dumbing down of the masses to become passively compliant and manageable. This was used to great effect in the Nazi prison camps to keep the Jews sedate and compliant.

"At the end of the Second World War, the United States Government sent Charles Eliot Perkins, a research worker in chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology, to take charge of the vast Farben chemical plants in Germany.

"While there he was told by German chemists of a scheme which had been worked out by them during the war and adopted by the German General Staff.

"This was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water. In this scheme, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place.

"Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain and will thus make him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. "Both the Germans and the Russians added sodium fluoride to the drinking water of prisoners of war to make them stupid and docile." Read more...

Fluoride is a poison and has no place in our water supply and there is no demonstrable benefit for adding it to our most precious resource. Campaign your local member for the removal of fluoride from our water. Get a water filter system that will remove fluoride (not all do). Use fluoride free toothpaste (try a health food store). Grants do an inexpensive toothpaste that's widely available in Australia.

When you think about it, there is nothing more important to your physical existance than your water supply. Beyond that, there's nothing more important than your supply of "Living Water".

"...the person that drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. That water I give will become like a spring of water flowing inside that person. That water will bring that person life forever." Jn 4:14

My Name is Khan

One of the many interests I have is watching Bollywood movies. Yesterday, I watched “My Name is Khan” starring Sharukh Khan. Anyone familiar with this genre knows that Sharukh is a mega star. He is also the same man who is currently in the news for being naked body scanned in London then autographing printouts for staff. See my earlier post. Looking at the timing of this event coinciding with the release of the movie, I now suspect that it was a clever publicity stunt. Nevertheless, it still highlights the concerns of allowing the government to use such devices on the people.

From the outset, let me say it's a great flick. It has most of the things you would get in a typical Bollywood movie. It's long by western standards at over 2 and a half hours long, but Bollywoods usually go up to 3 hours. It's an epic. It's an emotional rollercoaster. It's got singing and dancing (in small doses). It's got high drama. It's got Sharukh Khan.

The story is based on a man with Aspergers Syndrome (autistic spectrum disorder) who finds himself in the post 9/11 world being treated like a terrorist because he's brown and he's a muslim. In reality he's just a guy with a disability who only sees the world having two types of people, those who do good and those who do bad. Khan, as the hero, is on the good side, of course.

Whilst I sat and watched, I knew the audience was watching this story on one level, getting angry with the fundamentalist muslims who supposedly did 9/11 and thus polarizing the world against Islam and Rizvan Khan and his family. However, I reacted differently. I was angry from the beginning, because I knew that his disability could well have come from mercury poisoning in vaccines. Then I found myself angry by the paranoia shown by the airport security goons to Khan because of his colour, his autistic mannerisms and because his name is Khan. Why not search guys with names like Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld? They might actually find something.

I surprised myself when I saw scenes of 9/11 unfolding, the shock and horror on the faces of all who turned on the TV. I thought that as I have watched and studied so much about this day I would watch this scene like a dispassionate documentary. I didn't. It was deeply emotional. Anyway, you know how the story goes. The people of America are instantly polarized, white vs arabic/Indian, and former friends become enemies and the world lives in fabricated fear of Al Qaeda.

One question that is often asked, if 9/11 was an inside job, a false flag operation, how could the perpetrators organise to have so many innocent people killed and live with themselves afterwards? I now pose another question. How could anyone deliberately put a knife through the heart of an entire nation and kill its soul? Not only was this polarization an effect of 9/11, it was deliberately intended as a primary objective. The Bush administration needed a “catalysing event like a new Pearl Harbor” to create public support for a “war on terror” to have an excuse to invade and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the agenda for US global dominance.

I watched Khan make attempts to meet George W to tell him “My name is Khan and I'm not a terrorist”. Then I thought, he'd probably reply “Your name is can? Can of what? Can of beans?! Ha ha ha!” .

Then I see Khan attempting to meet Obama. Then in my script Obama would say “Yeah Mr Khan, I know you're not a terrorist, but I do know who is. Unfortunately, I have to protect them by never acknowledging the mounting evidence, even when presented by stars like Charlie Sheen. Despite the peer reviewed studies finding unexploded thermitic material in the dust samples of 9/11 and the 1000 engineers and architects demanding a new and open inquiry into 9/11, I have to maintain this facade of ignorance and let sleeping dogs lie”.

My Name is Khan continues the trend set by Bride & Prejudice and Slumdog Millionaire which repackaged Bollywood fare for the western palate. It's got sub-titles so don't forget your glasses. I recommend you don't go the large size drink from the candy bar. You'll be busting your bladder by the end because you won't want to duck out to the john incase you miss something.

Highly recommended.

"Be more positive!"

Some people say to me, I should be more positive. “End your posts with something uplifting”.

Why?

Why should I do that? Why would you even suggest that? Are you so conditioned by the Hollywood movie formula that prescribes a guaranteed happy ending? The guy gets the girl, they walk off into the sunset and live happily ever after.

Perhaps you know too well you are living in a crooked world but you would rather go on living in self denial because that's easier to accommodate. “Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies” sang Fleetwood Mac.

Maybe you're in that group of believers that says “I'm a believer, God's in control, she'll be right mate”, then you go back to your Facespace page or the sportspage in the back of the Telegraph (don't distract me whilst I'm being distracted).

How about the “Jesus is returning soon, I'll just let him sort it out” rapture-ready worldview? What a cop-out.

On the other hand, could it be that your faith is so weak that you can't be left alone with a problem of evil that I present to you? Do you feel powerless to respond? God couldn't possibly want to involve you, yes you, in the establishment of his kingdom. He wouldn't equip you or give you the resources or skills to take the fight to the lord of this world? If you feel powerless in the face of evil then you've got some fundamental limitations in your Christianity and understanding of the Kingdom. It's like you've got the demo version of the game and you wonder why it your experience isn't the same as the paid-for/registered version.

Yes, as Christians and believers we know we are on the winning side of human history. Jesus will return one day to put the demons in the pit and God's will shall be done on earth as in heaven. Yes, there is a happy ending, but folks, we're not there yet. We are still in the final fight scene where Luke Skywalker is fighting to the death with Darth Vadar. There is a battle being waged between God vs Devil, good vs evil, truth vs lies, freedom vs slavery, life vs death. The thing is, we are not watching a video. Life on Earth is a David Attenborough series you can hire from Blockbuster, but the real Life on Earth is a live performance. You, my friend, are in the cast and you have some lines to deliver.

Again, just imagine if you took Jesus aside during one of his sermons... “JC, you really should be more positive, you can't talk about Hell and judgement like that, it's a conversation killer”. What if you were to admonish Daniel for depressing people with his prophecies of doom? I'm sure he would say something like “Hey buddy, I'm just the messenger.”

Like many of us “watchmen”, we simply stand at the parapets and call it as we see it. We are staring at the horizon though a looking glass, trying to focus on what we see heading our way. An early warning system, so to speak. If there's a threat, we warn. If there is an obvious line of action to be taken, we can recommend that you take that action. If there's a deception being peddled we try to shine the light of truth. However, we don't have all the answers and nor should we. Someone else out there may be better equipped to give the better solution or response.

At the end of the day, I'm just a $10 smoke detector that's smelling smoke and sounding the alarm. You can choose to lie in bed because you'd rather go on sleeping. You can fob yourself off by thinking it's just a false alarm. You could wait for Jesus to attend to it. You can even wait for the battery to go flat. Alternatively, you could do what your duty demands of you and get up and check for yourself whether or not your house is really on fire and you need to take action.

Just don't ask me to "be positive" if I can see your butt's on fire :o)

Chicken or the Egg?

It’s the old conundrum, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Let’s apply this to terrorism (chicken) and full body scanners (egg). The official media line is – Problem: a black guy with a foreign sounding name and believedtobelinkedtoalqaeda tries to create an explosion in his pants with a view to bringing down a Northwest Airlines jet. Reaction: In response to this new terrorist threat we are told we need full body scanners at all airports to check every passenger for devices carried close to their bodies. Solution: roll out installation of full body scanners ASAP across the globe.

Now let’s start with the full body scanners (egg). We have an agenda to have full body scanners installed in all airports (we will get to motive later). We make sure we have a terrorist event (chicken) in which a full body scanner would have prevented such event. Scanners are the answer. Scanners get rolled out.

What we have here is problem, reaction , solution or more technically named the Hegelian Dialectic. It is nothing new. This technique is almost cliché in military, marketing and political circles. It's a cheap parlor trick, but a successful one.

So what evidence is there that this is anything more than another suicidal muslim looking for some western payback and a golden wings queue jump into paradise? From the outset, the official story has wondered and wavered. Kurt Haskell's eyewitness testimony concerning accomplices has been ignored.

The official story is also unbelievable. Again, like 9/11, the plot relies on a complete and comprehensive failure of the security system. Despite the fact that Abdullah's father personally contacted the authroities to warn that he suspected his son to be planning something, they failed to act. They also failed to revoke his visa application even though they had reason to do so.

Jasper Schuringa, the guy who put out the fire, says the suspect was "staring into nothing". This could indicate a religious fruitcake sensing his own demise, or it could also indicate a subject of mind control executing a pre-programmed operation. Look at the CIA's MK-Ultra programs from the 70s.

Next, the way in which the explosives were carried onto the plane, in his “reg grundies”(undies) is exactly the type of concealment that would only be detected by a full strip search. This was not a turban bomb or a shoe bomb or a belt bomb that could be found with current less invasive procedures.

So why on earth would authorities want full body scanners in airports? The reason is simple. There is an agenda across the globe to bring populations under greater and greater control. This includes how we use our money, where and how we travel, our health, our consumption, our desires and our reproduction to name just a few. We are being acclimatised to accept this ever increasing level of control and it's being done incrementally, death by a thousand cuts.

Let's just understand what they are asking us to give them. They are wanting a level of access to our bodies that we would normally reserve for the most intimate of human relationships, ie marriage or by medical necessity with our doctor. The details revealed by the scans leave little to the imagination.

There's a fundamental spiritual dimension to this also. When Adam and Eve transgressed against God in the garden, we are told that their eyes were opened and they became aware of their nakedness before God and felt shame, at which point they grabbed for the fig leaves. The naked body scanner reprises this scene, but the state now plays the role of God. It's the ultimate power display over another human to take away their clothing and enforce nakedness. It's the pinnacle of degradation. Remember the images of naked Jews in holocaust camps. Can you imagine anything worse?

To what extent do we tolerate this invasion? “But it's worth the loss of some of our liberties to ensure our security?” What sort of deal is that if the threat is bogus? Benjamin Franklin said “Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither"

Can't you just see the guys at the gate taking more interest in your wife's scan than yours? How long before celebrity scans are leaked on the net and creates a whole new brand of porn? "I told you so" UPDATE: Sharukh Khan scan-dal. What next? Blood tests to check for swine flu? VeriChip has already patented an implantable chip that can send a signal to medical authorities if the host becomes swine flu positive.

We must resist these measures as they are proposed, before they have a chance to spawn. It's much harder to have these things removed once installed and accepted. What you see now is a trend towards totalitarianism. Taken to its logical extent, under a tyrannical regime, it results in loss of free speech, identification of dissenters, detention camps, youth brigades, disappearing of troublemakers etc. You get the drift. Why do you think the greatest protests over the Google Street View rollout came from Germany? The older and wiser folk recognize the architecture of tyranny when they see it.

This very day, our Federal government announced a $200 million program to implement security upgrades at Australian airports. This agenda includes naked body scanners. Will you accept this quietly? You should write to your local member and tell them that you do not support the use of scanners. Consider a display of civil disobedience by refusing loudly to comply at the gate. Don't regret in the years to come that we should have taken action when we had the chance.
$200 million to boost airport security

Secret Banker Meeting in Sydney

A secretive meeting of the top central bankers is meeting in Sydney at the moment. It is not being widely reported however.

Here's the news.com.au report.
Heraldsun report

LATEST UPDATE 09 02 2010

It is speculated that Ben Bernanke will attend, but is not confirmed. Why are they meeting? Who called the meeting? Does it have anything to do with the worsening debt crises in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Dubai? Could it be the sudden fall on world stock markets over the last few days? Why Sydney, we're hardly a convenient meeting point from a global point of view. Is China about to call in the debt collectors? And why the secrecy?

Many commentators have been saying that the global financial crisis will come in waves. Are the bankers preparing for GFC 2.0 ? Stay tuned...
