America and the End Times

First, know your rights as given by God, the foundation of the American Constitution and Bill of Rights. A great tool for this is the Citizens Rule Book, a jury handbook. This is what was meant for the citizens of America at this nation’s inception. This page and related pages will pull the veil from the eyes regarding the path America has been on since that time through to today and hopefully better reveal the signs of the times in which we live. Excerpted from the Citizens Rule Book:

A SUMMARY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The TEN COMMANDMENTS represent GOD’S GOVERNMENT OVER MAN! GOD commands us for our own good to give up wrongs and not rights! HIS system always results in LIBERTY and FREEDOM! The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are built on this foundation, which provides for punitive justice. It is not until one damages another’s person or property that he can be punished. The Marxist system leads to bondage and GOD’S system leads to LIBERTY! Read very carefully:

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath to keep it Holy.
Honor thy father and mother.
Thou shalt not murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Thou shalt not covet.

Directly above the Chief Justice’s chair is a tablet signifying the TEN COMMANDMENTS When the Speaker of the House in the U.S. Congress looks up, his eyes look into the face of Moses.

“The Bible is the Book upon which this Republic rests.” | Andrew Jackson, Seventh President of the United States

“The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which men suffer from, vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from the despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.” | Noah Webster

A SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO

The Communist Manifesto represents a misguided philosophy, which teaches the Citizens to give up their RIGHTS for the sake of the “common good,” but it always ends in a police state. This is called preventive justice. Control is the key concept. Read carefully:

Abolition of private property. [How many Americans actually own their land? How many could lose it to the government if they didn’t pay taxes? Is it really our land?]
Heavy progressive income tax. [the federal income tax was first enacted in 1862 to support the Union’s Civil War effort. It was eliminated in 1872, revived in 1894, then declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court the following year. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution made the income tax a permanent fixture in the U.S. tax system. Watch America: Freedom to Fascism]
Abolition to all rights of inheritance. [Again, while we aren’t quite all the way there yet, the estate tax in the US can take anywhere from 18% to 55% of the sum of the taxable estate. This began in 1916, when Congress first levied the tax, a time-frame infamous for other such changes in government such as the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.]
Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels. [State seizing property of “hate groups.” With the Alliance of Civilizations, “hate groups” are those claiming sole ownership to the Truth, Bible-believing Christians, Jews and fundamentalist Muslims. See where this is going.]
A Central Bank. [watch America: Freedom to Fascism | Monopoly Men | Money As Debt]
Government control of communication and transportation. [What will happen in a state of emergency because of “terrorism,” revolt, or natural disasters?]
Government ownership of factories and agriculture. [We’ve outsourced all that for the love of money and the destruction of America.]
Government control of labor.
Corporate farms, regional planning.
Free education for all children in government-controlled schools. [Look at our public school system today, watch Kent Hovind’s presentations of how the theory of Evolution taught as fact is destroying faith in God and His Word. The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt]

The American Form Of Government

An explanation of the various forms of government and political systems, and why America is not a democracy, but a republic.

So as an increasingly secular and worldly government continues to add more restrictive laws and impose greater taxes on the population, just how much like the original nation are we as opposed to the ideas presented in the Communist Manifesto above? What does this mean for America?

As we continue to push God out of our lives as a nation, God is continuing to remove His hand of protection from the people rejecting Him. Just read the history if Israel in the Bible to see the pattern we continue to follow as His creation. This is the down-side of free will given to us -- our ability to willingly not choose Him.

America isn’t specifically or clearly mentioned in prophecy as far as I can tell and I should point out that Bible prophecy is centered around Israel and therefore the European, African and Asian continents. Given that America is dealing with several of these regions now and the nearness to the end I believe we are in, one would expect to see America mentioned. I know there are theories out there, but none are absolutely clear.

Yet I believe the path we are on leads us to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in one of several ways, either of which I see as possible at this point. Either something happens with America that removes her as a significant power in the region and the world, or America becomes just another voice in the crowd, some extra horsepower in the engine of the vehicles that are mentioned in Bible prophecy.

My position on America in Bible prophecy would best be described as a combination of these two. I believe America will move from a leading role to a supporting role in the New World Order depicted in Bible prophecy. I believe that current events with the global economic crisis and the government policies that have moved manufacturing and jobs overseas, along with other elements of the perfect storm raging now, will continue to bring America to the table of international cooperation and merge into the world collective politically, dragging the population with it -- willing or not.

America is becoming part of the global community and with deceptive issues such as companies and banks “too big to fail,” man-made global warming and other such things the world is subtly being brought to a place of thinking as a global community under the care of government. This will lead to a desire to be run globally, for the good of the planet of course. It all starts with baby-steps and leads to the ultimate conclusion of Bible prophecy, a global governance in control of every aspect of life even the ability to buy, sell and thereby survive.

America is already being destroyed financially, and as we find ourselves deeper in crisis, government seems to be finding more to spend the money we don’t have on.

The process of integrating her into the one-world government system is well under way. It was Bush’s expressed goal as well as many other Presidents before with Obama now charging headlong into the progressive plan. The blame falls not on Democrat or Republican, but men of power without understanding (or spiritual influence upon men) leading us straight to where Bible prophecy places us, gone or part of the system. The ultimate destination of this plan will end with America no longer existing as a sovereign nation, but most likely part of the world government, controlled by the powerful few, and ultimately the man of sin.

The L.O.S.T. treaty among other things are showing signs of a coming loss of national sovereignty from foreign laws and with the current fear of terrorism globally, there’s yet another reason that nations must work together to supposedly bring about peace and security. Examples The bottom line is that America isn’t clearly present in Bible prophecy, and judging from the power the beast will have over the nations of the world, it’s because we aren’t a world power anymore, for one reason or the other. Power in the end is centered in a revived Roman Empire, Daniel’s fourth kingdom.

I’ve always loved America because of the freedoms and the Christian foundation I was allowed to have unlike some other more restrictive places on earth. But all good things come to an end in this dark world and as sad as I am to see it happening, I know also that our redemption draws nigh.

Be open to the possibility that absolute power corrupts absolutely and in this age of self focus, all politicians are in a key place to be bribed, bought or flattered. This will ultimately lead to all power being given to one man and that is the point of sharing this information. The prophesied end cannot be changed, but God has not left us in darkness regarding what is coming so remember how close we could be to the end as you watch the news and how easily America can and will fall into the hands of Lucifer...if it isn’t already. This is way beyond politics because no matter who wins, the end will be the same. Don’t get drawn into party lines, be aware that there is no line, the goal is the same even if they don’t know it.

I think it is important to examine a side of America’s history not commonly known. The Christian origins and foundations of our nation are fairly well known, although that is under attack among many other things today. There is another side, as there always is, which I believe shows the mystery of iniquity at work in the shadows of our past as well.

Christian Origins Under Attack

In modern America, the Judeo-Christian roots of our nation and the freedom they have provided are under attack by the secular humanist and new age world. Both of these ideologies hold a view of man as supreme, whether in a scientific or spiritual way. That is not the principles upon which the founding fathers approached the creation of the Constitution, rather God was viewed as the law-giver upon whose foundation our nation would be built.

Wall Builders - David Barton has thousands of documents (even personal letters) that prove most of the founding fathers of America had a dependent relationship with Jesus. They had several hours of prayer on their knees before drafting the Constitution.

Post by FreeInHim at FulfilledProphecy:
“This myth regarding the religious inclinations of the founding fathers, the 55 delegates who participated in the four-month long Constitutional convention, was started back in ‘95, by a professor of physics at L.A. Harbor College named Steven Morris. He wrote an op-ed piece in the L.A. Times entitled, “America’s Unchristian Beginnings.” The subtitle read, “Founding Fathers: Despite preaching of our pious Right, most were deists who rejected the divinity of Jesus.”

It should be of particular interest to any reader of this opinion piece that Steven Morris is also a member of the L.A.-based Atheists United. It’s also interesting to note that Mr. Morris chose the word “most” to portray the number of founding fathers who were allegedly deists. A close scrutiny of the writings of these men, both public and personal, refutes that claim. To substantiate his claims, Morris lifted quotes from various selected writings of a few of the founding fathers.

As you well know from studying the Bible, one can’t isolate a single passage and expect to understand the message intended. One needs to look at the entire column of scripture, at least, to get the gist of the message. For example, concerning John Adams, Morris claimed, “Late in life, he wrote ‘Twenty times in the course of my late reading have I been upon the point of breaking out, This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it!!!’”

It’s true this statement did appear in a letter Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson in 1817, in which Adams recounted a conversation between Joseph Cleverly and Lemuel Bryant; a schoolmaster and a minister he had known. Fed up with the petty religious bickering that went on between the two, Adams declared to Jefferson (now please read carefully): Twenty times in the course of my late reading have I been upon the point of breaking out, “This would be the best of all possible worlds if there were no religion in it!!!” But in this exclamation I would have been as fanatical as Bryant or Cleverly. Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean hell.

BTW, the following month Jefferson wrote back and said he agreed! The revisionist effort is self-evident and should be of no surprise. Deliberately coloring the Christian beliefs of our founding fathers a darker hue, or painting over them altogether, is a tact any atheist worth his salt would attempt. To me, the really disturbing aspect of this ploy isn’t the action of the atheist, but the willingness of good Christians to swallow this diet of fraud without so much as a taste test.”

The Separation of Church and State Wall Builders - I just came across this article and wanted to share it with you all in light of many attacks on Christianity in education and elsewhere. Check out Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed and some current legal cases resulting from the creation/evolution debate often evoking the supposed “separation of church and state” issue to eliminate religious discussion in education and even in public. Yet more evidence of the mystery of iniquity at work today.

Hidden History of America’s Beginnings

Examining America’s beginnings in the eyes of “secret societies” opens up a whole new world of secret agendas that eventually took over America because of the nature of secret societies and their dark deeds done out of the light of public opinion. It’s important to recognize that while the origins of America were built on Biblical principles, as always the enemy of mankind was working in parallel through operatives for a different purpose, one foretold by God to come about at the time He would honor mans’ rejection of Him and follow another instead. I recommend you watch the following videos for some background:

Deterioration of America

Here is a short video regarding the North American Union. I believe this is all steps to bring about a New World Order and a one-world government that will eventually be headed by the antichrist. As for North America, plans are in the works to effectively eliminate the borders over time, which will negatively impact American sovereignty as our laws begin to be dictated to us from outside our nation. This is all part of the plan for global governance.

As you read the following, ponder where our nation is at in each of these points and how we have gotten to where we are today.

Removal of prayer from schools and removal of Christian symbols from public view

Socialism

America and the New World Order

Here’s how a globalist views the logic of history leading to globalism. When you see that it was planned that way and laid out in 1871 by Albert Pike, the wickedness of the globalist agenda in light of Bible prophecy points to the war on the saints described as the great tribulation.

America Abroad Time Magazine: Strobe Talbott (July 20, 1992) - The human drama, whether played out in history books or headlines, is often not just a confusing spectacle but a spectacle about confusion. The big question these days is, Which political forces will prevail, those stitching nations together or those tearing them apart? Here is one optimist’s reason for believing unity will prevail over disunity, integration over disintegration. In fact, I’ll bet that within the next hundred years (I’m giving the world time for setbacks and myself time to be out of the betting game, just in case I lose this one), nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century -- “citizen of the world” -- will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st. All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary. Through the ages, there has been an overall trend toward larger units claiming sovereignty and, paradoxically, a gradual diminution of how much true sovereignty any one country actually has. The forerunner of the nation was a prehistoric band clustered around a fire beside a river in a valley. Its members had a language, a set of supernatural beliefs and a repertoire of legends about their ancestors. Eventually they forged primitive weapons and set off over the mountain, mumbling phrases that could be loosely translated as having something to do with “vital national interests” and “manifest destiny.” When they reached the next valley, they massacred and enslaved some weaker band of people they found clustered around some smaller fire and thus became the world’s first imperialists. But it has taken the events in our own wondrous and terrible century to clinch the case for world government. With the advent of electricity, radio and air travel, the planet has become smaller than ever, its commercial life freer, its nations more interdependent and its conflicts bloodier. The price of settling international disputes by force was rapidly becoming too high for the victors, not to mention the vanquished. That conclusion should have been clear enough at the battle of the Somme in 1916; by the destruction of Hiroshima in 1945, it was unavoidable. Once again great minds thought alike: Einstein, Gandhi, Toynbee and Camus all favored giving primacy to interests higher than those of the nation. So, finally, did many statesmen. Each world war inspired the creation of an international organization, the League of Nations in the 1920s and the United Nations in the ‘40s. The cold war also saw the European Community pioneer the kind of regional cohesion that may pave the way for globalism. Meanwhile, the free world formed multilateral financial institutions that depend on member states’ willingness to give up a degree of sovereignty. The International Monetary Fund can virtually dictate fiscal policies, even including how much tax a government should levy on its citizens. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade regulates how much duty a nation can charge on imports. These organizations can be seen as the protoministries of trade, finance and development for a united world. Globalization has also contributed to the spread of terrorism, drug trafficking, AIDS and environmental degradation. But because those threats are more than any one nation can cope with on its own, they constitute an incentive for international cooperation. However limited its accomplishments, last month’s Earth Summit in Rio signified the participants’ acceptance of what Maurice Strong, the main impresario of the event, called “the transcending sovereignty of nature:” since the by-products of industrial civilization cross borders, so must the authority to deal with them. Collective action on a global scale will be easier to achieve in a world already knit together by cables and airwaves. The fax machine had much to do ! with the downfall of tyrants in Eastern Europe. Two years ago, I was assigned an interpreter in Estonia who spoke with a slight Southern accent because she had learned her English watching Dallas, courtesy of TV signals beamed over the border from neighboring Finland. The Cosby Show, aired on South African television, has no doubt helped erode apartheid. more...

Ceding Power to Europe

Will Presidential Decision Directive #25 be Declassified? Daniel New (August 2007) - What happened? On October 10, 1995, the 1/15 Battalion of the 3rd infantry Division of the U.S. Army came to attention at 0900 in Schweinfurt, Germany. All but one of the 550 soldiers were wearing a sky-blue baseball-style cap with a United Nations insignia on the front. One was wearing the olive-drab flat cap that is authorized to be worn with the Battle Dress Uniform. With this simple act of disobeying a direct order, Spc. 4 Michael New set the stage for a legal battle that has profound implications for the future of American soldiers into service of the United Nations without the constitutional permission of Congress.

On 24 July, attorneys for Michael New sent a letter to the Office of Information Programs and Services, a division of the State Department, requesting a “Mandatory Declassification Review” of Presidential Decision Directive #25. Most of our readers will recognize that as the document which President Slick Willie Clinton authorized himself to ignore the Constitution, ignore Congress, ignore long-standing statutory law, and to send US troops into military settings under the authority of the United Nations, without Congressional participation in any way. We only recently learned that this agency exists. We also learned that any citizen may request a review of any classified document, and if that document is over ten years old, a mandatory review of it is triggered by the request. PDD#25 is now 13 years old. What are the implications?

The implications for Michael New are tremendous. The Pentagon and the White House based their prosecution upon the basis of the order given to deploy to Macedonia under a General from Finland. By refusing to allow a soldier access to the legal basis of that order to deploy, New had no defense. The original court-martial refused Spc. New permission to introduce any evidence in his own defense! If we can read PDD#25, we may well find the legal basis for demanding that the court-martial be overturned.
The implications for our troops in uniform today are also tremendous. If, for example, it is found that the Constitution has been violated, (which we believe has happened), then the entire question of placing American soldiers under foreign commanders in undeclared wars may well find its way to a courtroom - and we may well assist that in happening!
The implications for restoring the Constitutional balance of power between Congress and the White House, and restricting both with that very document to which each and every one of them has taken an oath, are also great.
The implications of the US relationship to all international agencies will suddenly be subject to a sharp review by, of all things, the Constitution of the United States! What a novel concept.

In short, this review could well be the point at which imperial presidents are brought up short on a tether known as Constitutional Law. Regional Alliances seem to be the “wave of the future” - but the way we have been involved in them (since 1946) just happens to be contrary to the U.S. Constitution. Not content with the pace of Globalism, Bill Clinton and Al Gore decided to “reinvent government” - in what was nothing less than a coup d’etat against the Constitution! You may have thought that the case of Michael New vs. United States Army was over and done with. I know we did. But, you asked to be kept informed of any developments in Michael’s case, and this one, while a simple request for information, may turn out to be huge. We’ll let you know. The coming book, to be entitled, Legions of Empire, by William Norman Grigg and Daniel New, is coming along (slowly). Any person wanting to get a copy of the first edition, hardback, autographed, needs to send us $50 along with a request to reserve a copy in their name. That first printing will consist of 500 hardback copies and 3,000 paperbacks. The first 100 will be numbered and autographed. If we get all 100 pre-subscribed, it will mean we can pay for most of the raw printing costs of the entire run. That’s not everything, but it’s a running start! It is incumbent upon you to study, first that you may understand the nature of the threats coming against our country, and second that you might educate your children and the next generation, for the Struggle for Liberty is not an event - it’s a lifestyle. more info

A report on President Clinton’s Executive Order 13107: “The Implementation of Human Rights Treaties” Crossroad.to (signed on December 10, 1998) - While Americans focused on more scintillating news, President Clinton quietly signed a new executive order titled “The Implementation of Human Rights Treaties.” The media ignored it and our leaders didn’t tell us. Yet we will pay the cost -- in freedom as well as dollars -- for the creation of a massive government bureaucracy to promote, monitor, and enforce compliance with human rights regulations mandated by the United Nations. Remember, this governing body shows only contempt for biblical values, American sovereignty, and the U.S. Constitution. Clinton’s timing was perfect. An attack on Iraq had been planned. And after December’s impeachment proceedings, Congress would adjourn for the holidays. Without its objection, the executive order would take effect within 30 days (not a hard and fast rule 1), and become a federal law. Once implemented, no one would be free to do or say anything contrary to the new global ideology. Hard to believe? Before studying the executive order itself, take a look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It illustrates the deceptive meanings behind the noble words used to persuade the American people to accept unthinkable regulations. Even so, on December 10, 1998, President Clinton used its 50th anniversary to celebrate its ideals, to honor its late sponsor Eleanor Roosevelt, to announce his Human Rights Initiatives, and to sign this executive order.

Background Information

At the first glance, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights sounds good, as do all the intrusive UN human rights treaties. Article 18 upholds “the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion...” Article 19 affirms “the right to freedom of opinion and expression... and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” But Article 29 states that “these rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.” In other words, these “rights” or “freedoms” don’t apply to those who would criticize the UN or its policies. Your rights would be conditioned on your compliance. Only if your message supports official ideology are you free to speak it. As Andrei Vishinsky wrote in The Law of the Soviet State, “There can be no place for freedom of speech, press, and so on for the foes of socialism.”[2] The Convention on the Rights of the Child has not been ratified by the Senate. Yet, it would be included among “other relevant treaties” in this executive order which begins with these words:

“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and bearing in mind the obligations of the United States pursuant to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other relevant treaties concerned with the protection and promotion of human rights to which the United States is now or may become a party in the future, it is hereby ordered.”

Like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child uses manipulative and misleading language. According to Article 13, “The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers...” In other words, parents have no authority to keep a child from reading a sexually explicit magazine or visiting pagan chat rooms on Internet. While parents lose their right to set safe boundaries for their children, the State assumes full power to “protect” the child and define the rules. Thus Article 13 concludes with: “This right may be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary for respect of the rights or reputations of others; or for protection of national security or public order.” Likewise, if parents restrict their child’s “right to freedom of association” or their child’s ambiguous rights to “privacy” or “conscience and religion” (Articles 14 -16), they would break this law and face the potential loss of their child to the state’s “protection” services. In the context of UN ideology, “national security or public order” refers to the concept of solidarity, a utopian community oneness based on shared values defined by globalist leaders. In their minds, anything less than social solidarity in every community could stir conflict or incite violence. In this context, dissenters become foes; facts or beliefs that clash with its vision of unity become threats; and the uncompromising truths of biblical Christianity become intolerable, even dangerous to public safety.

These “human rights” restrictions are already filtering into American culture. For example, any Christian website that promotes biblical standards for right and wrong could be targeted for censorship by Cyber Patrol, the world’s most powerful Internet thought police. Owned by The Learning Company, America’s “premier developer of educational software,” it has formed some powerful “partners” around the world. These include AOL, AT&T, Bell Atlantic, CompuServe, IBM, Microsoft, Netscape, Scholastic Network, and others. Its website [3] shows the categories in its CyberNOT Block List, a list of offenses that determines which websites should be screened to protect schools and families that buy their service. These dangers include Violence/Profanity, Nudity, Sexual Acts, Intolerance, Satanic/Cult, Drugs, and Militant/Extremist. Notice “Intolerance” amidst the more obvious threats. CyberPatrol warns us that “any picture or text that elevates one group over another” would be considered intolerant. Their filters now “protect” children and schools across the country from visiting American Family Association and other Christian websites simply because they present God-given warnings and view Christian truth and lifestyles as superior to pagan alternatives. An international “Declaration on Tolerance,” prepared by UNESCO and signed by its member nations, defines the new global standard for right and wrong. All nations would be responsible for fulfilling this international contract by teaching the “right” kind of tolerance and training their people to “respect” every kind of ritual and lifestyle -- no matter how contrary to God’s Word. Though the U.S. didn’t sign this anti-Christian Declaration 4, our leaders are fueling the transformation. Consider how its decrees would undermine our Bill of Rights:

“Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures It is not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement.”
“Tolerance involves the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism.” [Biblical truth?]
“Tolerance... means that one’s views are not to be imposed on others.” [Would this end freedom to share the gospel with others? Could the UN still share its views?]
“Intolerance... is a global threat.”
“Scientific studies and networking should be undertaken to coordinate the international community’s response to this global challenge, including analysis of root causes and effective countermeasures, as well as research and monitoring... ”
“Tolerance promotion and the shaping of attitudes of openness, mutual listening and solidarity should take place in schools and universities, and through non-formal education... at home and in the workplace.”
“Promote rational tolerance teaching methods that will address the cultural, social, economic, political and religious sources of intolerance-- major roots of violence and exclusion. 5”

As you read on, you will see how the suggestions in the last three points are worked into President Clinton’s Initiatives and Executive Order. But don’t forget, the first four points provide the rationale for the last three points. more...

American Economy

Did you know that all of our payroll taxes pay the interest to European and international banks? That’s free money automatically siphoned from the US and given to those behind the control leading to the New World Order! We’re paying for their plans whether we like it or not. This is the power they wield over the thoughts and minds of the people unaware of the Truth.

I also believe they are expecting a revolt from the awareness of this to help depopulate the planet, a stated goal of the New World Order. I don’t plan on giving them that pleasure and neither should any of us. Knowing what is coming, we should focus on preaching the Gospel to those with ears to hear because no matter what we do, the wicked will run this world until Christ returns to take the kingdoms. Our concern should be for the individual souls yet blinded to Truth and reality.

UnAnswered Questions for Stanley Sporkin (2006) - Stanley Sporkin has been retained by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) to assist in its duties overseeing Fannie Mae -- one of the largest issuers of mortgage backed securities and related derivatives in the world. Why should we care? All Americans are impacted by the health and well being of Fannie Mae’s operation - as homeowner, as investor and as taxpayers.

The entire US mortgage market is currently dependent on several private corporations that enjoy special governmental credit support (called Government Sponsored Enterprises or GSEs). Because of their size, the value of our homes may decrease if a GSE becomes troubled.
Many pension funds, mutual funds and money market funds include Fannie Mae securities. Hence, the retirement savings of many Americans and global citizens, as well as the resources of global financial institutions, are now vested in Fannie Mae’s well being.
If government resources are called upon to forestall or support Fannie Mae in a bankruptcy or reorganization, our tax dollars and taxpayer-backed government credit could be diverted to fund Fannie Mae’s liabilities and to subsidize the US mortgage markets.
If one GSE is troubled, it could impact the viability and health of the others, including Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank System, as well as Ginnie Mae, a governmental corporation at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The following questions, organized around Judge Sporkin’s historical areas of responsibility, are intended to illuminate the background and experience that Judge Sporkin brings to the task of assisting the Bush Administration in the oversight and regulation of Fannie Mae. This information should be useful to investors in US mortgage securities who are assessing credit ratings and pricings of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHFB, Ginnie Mae and other related mortgage and homebuilding stocks, bonds and derivatives or the investment, mutual funds, pension funds and money market funds that hold them. Here are selected questions from the page:

Question #4: Why are Fannie Mae and HUD still using the same auditor?

If the Bush Administration and the Office of Federal Housing Oversight believe that Fannie Mae’s books have not been properly maintained, why do the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other agencies of the US government use the same firm, KPMG, as an auditor and contractor?

Question #5: Is partisan politics involved in the regulation of Fannie Mae?

Fannie Mae has traditionally been viewed as a Democratic stronghold. The current CEO, Franklin Raines was the head of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during the Clinton Administration. The prior CEO, Jim Johnson was equally involved in Democratic administrations and campaigns. A Washington Post report describes Fannie Mae’s recent encounter with its regulators and Judge Sporkin as follows:

“As Washington donnybrooks go, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. The company, housing lender Fannie Mae, is the biggest in the region, with nearly $1 trillion in assets and gobs of outstanding debt held by pension funds and banks and even foreign central banks, all of which crave its implicit U.S. government guarantee. Its executive suite and board of directors are packed with the politically well connected, while its lobbying muscle is so formidable it has been able to fend off a concerted effort to rein in its growth and profitability by the White House, the Federal Reserve and the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill.

But now Fannie is reeling. A stinging report issued by its once-obscure regulator, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, alleged that top Fannie executives manipulated accounts to inflate and smooth earnings in an effort to boost the stock price and earn big bonuses. The regulator accuses the company of having lax internal controls and insufficient capital to back up its massive financial risk-taking, while ignoring the warning of a whistle-blowing employee no longer on the payroll. The report, prepared by Deloitte & Touche and Stanley Sporkin, a longtime enforcement director at the Securities and Exchange Commission, has now prompted criminal and civil probes by the Justice Department and the SEC.”

- From Accusations of Accounting Mae-hem, Washington Post, Sunday, October 3, 2004; Page F02

Do recent actions by the Bush Administration regarding Fannie Mae relate to the current Presidential election and the role of the mortgage and homebuilding industry to campaign fund raising and manipulation of the mortgage markets? When viewed through the lens of “economic warfare,” does the recent agreement negotiated between OFHEO and Fannie Mae give Republican interests extraordinary powers to micromanage Fannie Mae and members of the mortgage banking industry for political purposes?

Question #2: Why did you suppress Community Wizard?

In early March 1998, in your capacity as US Federal District Judge, you approved the court takeover of Hamilton Securities office, during which Hamilton’s software tools and databases – including their Community Wizard system – were destroyed and/or seized by the court, and related decisions by you ensured that the Department of Justice was able to seize monies owed to Hamilton. The databases, destroyed or removed from the Internet until many years later, included the maps of high defaults on HUD mortgages in areas targeted by alleged CIA narcotics trafficking, including South Central LA.

For example, the following map was generated using Community Wizard, a software system providing communities with important financial information about their place:

I can see this being used during the war on the saints spoken of in the Bible. Daniel 7 | Revelation 13 During the time of great tribulation, there will be a war on those who hold the testimony of Yeshua and who refuse to worship the man of sin and participate in his New Age New World Order.

I can envision that the tattle telling of the community would be the biggest way to ferret out those who are non-conformist and who go against the new mandatory system. Those viewed as “fundamentalists” will be hunted down and eliminated from interfering with this new utopia-in-the-making for the greater good. What this video addresses and what Barak Obama has been moving toward regarding community service will make it very hard for anyone who holds to the testimony of Yeshua and the Word of God to not be faced with a choice that the Bible has stated is an eternal choice. Trust in the world or trust in God. Revelation 13:11-18 | Revelation 14:9-12

US Immigration: This Watchman’s Perspective

This page is to highlight information and ideas brought to my attention regarding the illegal immigrant problem our nation is facing. As a Christian, I care about the situation of the immigrant, but I also believe in rule of law in a society and fairness to those who do obey laws to come into the USA legally. I understand that it’s not a fun process, that’s the downside of bureaucracy. I try to remain as far from that as possible myself.

From what I’ve learned of Bible prophecy in my search for Truth, I think that this is the natural course of events for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Ultimately, the sovereignty of every nation must be eroded to the point that the majority of the citizenry will desire globalization. I believe those holding the power in our nation are allowing the widespread immigration because it’s part of the plan to bring the world together under one government to be headed by one man who is given power from Lucifer. The history of the mystery of iniquity goes into some of how this has come about under the radar of most of the world. There are wicked people serving Lucifer in high places. Remember Lucifer offered Christ the kingdoms of this world, but Christ rebuked him. Another will come, the antithesis of Christ, who will take Lucifer up on that offer.

After that article is another about the decline of a nation. Look around and tell me this isn’t happening now. It’s been happening slowly over generations so that each successive generation is more and more oblivious to what is happening. It’s given the buzz-word “conspiracy theory” and the majority of people in the world go, “Ok, never mind then, that’s all just crazy talk.” The Bible makes it clear.

Thought is the voice of the spirit realm. It is not perceived with our five senses, but it is always there. It’s what we get when we watch TV. It’s what we get when we watch movies. Ideas can spread like wildfire, yet go unseen until given a voice. They are not bound by time as long as they are preserved in words. The Bible is God’s Word preserved through history for our benefit. The world is listening less and less to God’s Word though and are relying on men. The perspective of Lucifer is that if chaos can bring the world to its knees, one who seems the perfect man can provide salvation from this chaos. The same puppeteer is behind all the characters. He plays Islam off the de-spiritualized Western world.

Ideas planted in a holy book provide no rest as hatred, revenge, and spite mixed with religious fervor combine in an explosive combination that ends with men, women, and children willingly killing themselves and others in an attempt to take over the world for their moon god. As it is with Christians, those who don’t obey their holy books, don’t imitate their God and therefore should not call themselves by His name. Understand Islam and what the Koran teaches as well as its history and you too will have your eyes opened.

Then understand Western civilization’s history and the secret plans that are coming to light the more they are implemented. The world comes against Christ when He returns. Those in power are working behind the veil, given power by the same spirit that controls things like the media, which feed us the information we use to make decisions. Now what if the spirit of darkness could control what people know? He could give cover to his minions who he is speaking thoughts to. There are many in powerful positions who are part of secret societies that have practices associated with the dark arts. Nobody knows all the things that go on behind those closed doors, but Bible prophecy reveals the end result of it. The antichrist will conquer by peace, speaking flatteries. To the brainwashed and blinded world, he will be their hero. To those who have opened their eyes, he will cause trembling. And to those who have accepted Christ, they will know Yeshua wins in the end.

Lucifer has the chaos of Islam dangling in one hand, while the power center of the new world order is dangling from the other. The audience sits mesmerized by the marionette show being played out before them, hoping for the best. When Lucifer stops moving the Islamic hand in coordination with the head of the new world order working his political magic, the world will cheer him on and congratulate each other. Then, suddenly the whole stage will lift and the dragon will be seen giving his power to the head of the new world order, the revived Roman Empire. From this point on, the audience either worships the marionette and his master or they die.

Back to our current time at the beginning of this prophesied end, I have a feeling the end result of the immigration issue will be the downfall of America. In fact, I believe its already here. We’ve outsourced our jobs and products overseas and the media have mesmerized the nation, feeding them exactly what they need to swallow what is coming and turn from God. So on an individual level, I desire everyone to have the freedoms I do, but I think those freedoms are about to be taken away because I’m not going to go along with the plans of this world and am certainly never going to turn from my Savior Yeshua the Christ.

The following I received from NumbersUSA by e-mail about the video they have now posted online. I believe this shows how the America we know will not be as it was and this presentation shows us how. I also believe this is part of the plan of the New World Order, along with many other designs, to remove America’s power and create a population more inclined to join the global community. It also creates a fear of terrorism because of technology and desire of terrorists to destroy America is real. Part of Lucifer’s plan is to create the need for a uniting leader capable of providing peace and security. The people have to want peace and security first though. I highly recommend you watch the video keeping the push for globalism in mind.

Why is this issue being allowed to happen? I’m not against foreigners immigrating into America, but this should be done to JOIN the melting pot and become part of America through legal immigration channels.

Border

Can a new film help derail the current push for amnesty for illegal aliens? Chris Burgard’s new movie “Border” is so good that it could dramatically affect the public debate. But because you can’t expect the major media to cover this shocking and poignant film, the challenge will be to make sure millions of Americans get a chance to see it. It tells the story of a war - a war just as important, if not more so, than the one in Iraq.

On April 23, 2007, as part of the Hold Their Feet to the Fire rally of 2007, an event designed to pressure the U.S. Government to protect and defend our borders, the Federation for American Immigration Reform held a screening of “Border” at the Union Station Phoenix Theatre in Washington D.C. At the screening, the courageous director, Chris Burgard, spoke, and national radio talk-show host G. Gordon Liddy delivered the opening remarks.

Before the movie began, Burgard told the capacity crowd that it took two years to make the film, and that he drew his inspiration to produce the documentary from reading Liddy’s book, “Fight Back!: Tackling Terrorism Liddy Style.” Burgard told the audience that Liddy’s book provided him with the confidence to believe that citizens can fight back against their government and win. He funded the entire film out of his own pocket.
