Government and jobs
Keynesian jobs have no economic value
When presented with the usual Keynesian drivel about economic stimulus and the standard left-wing diatribes about government layoffs, many conservatives have responded that “government spending creates no jobs.”
This is incorrect as a matter of economic fact, and unwise as a matter of political rhetoric. To start with, however, we must distinguish between two different measures: “jobs” and “economic value.” [Continues here.]
EPA gets caught in big fat lie
The notion that the Environmental Protection Agency uses “science” to justify their regulations is false, just like most of the claims they issue on various aspects of the nation’s environment. Their favorite scam is to estimate the number of deaths they will prevent with some new draconian regulation.
The EPA is the American equivalent of the Gestapo, a ruthless enforcement agency with a very Green agenda that is opposed to the use of many beneficial chemicals, every form of energy, and the right of people to be left alone. [continues here]
Japan plans back-up city for Tokyo
Japan can build anything, right? How about making a second Tokyo? It’s Japan’s business hub, capital, and largest, most densely populated city. But it sits on the tumultuous Ring of Fire. Story continues here. (Also see related stories below and in adjoining column.)
PG&E begins removing ‘smart’ meters due to health effects
[See the previous story in this column, "Smart meters are spying on you"]
(SANTA CRUZ, CA Just as PG&E enters the final phase of its deployment of wireless “smart” meters in California, the largest of the state’s Investor Owned Utilities (IOU’s) has reversed course, quietly beginning to replace the ‘smart’ meters of those reporting health impacts with the old trusty analog version. Consumer rights and health groups immediately seized on the news, demanding that millions of Californians unhappy with their new wireless meters get their analogs returned immediately at no cost.
‘Smart’ meters are new wireless utility meters being installed as part of the “smart” grid initiative, spearheaded by technology firms and backed by the Obama administration and the Department of Energy. Promises ranging from lower utility bills to enhanced renewable generation capacity have failed to materialize, with widespread reports of higher bills, privacy violations, fires and explosions, and commonly reported health impacts such as headaches, nausea, tinnitus, and heart problems associated with powerful wireless transmissions.

Invisibility Cloaks Hit the Big Time
"This is not simply an illusion," says the creator of one cloak. "Even scientific instruments will not be able to detect the object."
Consider this event from the life of Jesus. But he passing through the midst of them went his way,... (Luke 4:30)
I have often wondered exactly how Jesus was able to pass through the midst of a crowd of people who were trying to kill him. One possibility that occurred to me is: Did Jesus use His supernatural power to make Himself invisible? If He did, I do not contend that he needed to use something as crude as a technological device, but it is interesting that science seems to be on the verge of such a device. (The rest of the story from Discover magazine continues here.)
Smart meters are spying on you
"Smart meters" are now being installed in many states, with plans to install them in every home in America. These electric meters replace the old ones which simply measured how much electricity you use on your property, so that they can bill you accordingly.
They are being replaced with surveillance devices that are radio stations that are only legal by the law of "implied consent." If you give consent for them to install such a device on your property, then it is supposed to be "legal," even if you did not know what you were consenting to. The short video here explains further and tells you what you can do about it: Just say "no!"
As ominous as this is, it is already much worse than this in some states. I had discussed in the early lectures in my Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom series how our liberties are being sytematically destroyed and mentioned the smart meters. Here is a response from a friend on our CD Ministry about what is going on in her state of North Dakota.
Hi James,
Just though I’d tell you that North Dakota has had controlled heat for several years. The new homes are equipped with speakers that announce that the heat will be shut off at such and such a time. I think they allow about one hour’s notice. Most people have some type of back-up. Although I have a friend in town that just had electric heat put in, and she was told she wasn’t supposed to have a wood stove, but they didn’t tell her she had to take it out.
The control [by the power company] is usually started when it goes below zero and it’s usually in the evenings. I have heard many people complain of how cold it gets—those who don’t have back-up heat or are too old to be able to handle hauling and splitting wood. Some use oil or propane as back-up. Those of us who don’t have “off-peak” pay a higher rate for our heat and they can’t shut it off. However, my insurance representative told me that soon we aren’t going to be able to buy insurance on our homes if we have wood stoves. /s/ Mary in North Dakota
Feds will temporarily cut off all TV and Radio broadcasts on November 9th
If you have ever wondered about the government’s ability to control the civilian airwaves, you will have your answer on November 9th.
On that day, federal authorities are going to shut off all television and radio communications simultaneously at 2:00PM EST to complete the first ever test of the national Emergency Alert System (EAS).
This isn’t a wild conspiracy theory. The upcoming test is posted on the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau website. [Full story here.]
Lloyds of London abandons European banks!
This is another sign of Financial Mystery Babylon’s continuing fall. Is it not curious, though, that Lloyds can withdraw (presumably) millions of dollars/pounds/euros from big banks, and yet a handful of Occupy Wall Street protestors trying to withdraw their money and close their accounts with Citibank in New York are arrested. See Dr. Stephen Jones' blog today in this regard.
I say it is “curious,” but yet it is totally logical when you understand that the purpose of the Occupy Wall Street leaders is to create chaos. As always, these anarchist groups attract “cannon fodder,” people who have no idea they are being used for a much larger agenda. They become the “useful idiots” (a phrase attributed to the murderous communist terrorist and dictator Lenin).
In upcoming lectures in our Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom series, I will teach more in depth on this current manifestation of a very old (and successful) strategy of evildoers. I will explain how it is being played out before our eyes as these Occupy Wall Street-type groups have “spontaneously” sprung up around the country, including Occupy Asheville. I saw them in our city plaza this weekend.
One “youth” was wearing a T-shirt screen-printed with the hammer and sickle logo of communism with the letters CCCP below it, which in the West was known as the USSR. The young man is a true “useful idiot,” as he was perhaps not even born when the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics fell apart.
Concerning Lloyds of London, this article comes from Weiss Research in Palm Beach County. Weiss Research is a well-known financial research and investment advisory firm which offers free email subscriptions to some of their research publications.
I subscribe but find almost no time to review them regularly. Hence, I am grateful that our friend, Eldon, sent me this one as a heads-up. Here is one of the Weiss websites. And here is the heads-up.
“Banks could be taken down, says Lloyds finance director. Without warning, Lloyds the world’s oldest insurance market announced that it has withdrawn its money from European banks.
The reason? According to Lloyds, the banks are in danger of failing as Europe's debt crisis continues to intensify. The companies Finance Director, Luke Savage, put it simply: If you're worried the government itself might be at risk, then you're certainly worried the banks could be taken down with them.
Which European governments is Lloyds talking about? They're not saying. But it IS interesting to note that Lloyds didn't just withdraw its money from Greek banks; it withdrew its money from banks all over Europe!
One thing you can be sure of, though: When the world’s oldest insurance company ... A firm that for 323 years has made its living by accurately calculating the odds of future disasters ... When that company suddenly takes its money and runs, it’s a MASSIVE red flag for investors a clear sign that the beginning of the end is near! Lloyds has every reason to worry. In addition to the government debt crisis that's threatening to destroy European banks, a huge credit crisis is spreading across the Continent as well.
Spanish and Italian banks are rejecting massive numbers of loans and charging customers more as the sovereign debt crisis continues to drive their own borrowing cost higher.
Any way you look at it, this shrinking of European credit markets is the worst kind of downward spiral:
*The government debt crisis is making it harder and more expensive for banks to borrow money; the banks are passing those higher costs along to borrowers.
*Corporations have to pay more to borrow; their cost of doing business is rising.
*Consumers cant or wont borrow at higher rates, so corporate earnings plunge.
*As corporate earnings evaporate, the taxes they pay also plummet.
Falling tax revenues cause the governments deficits to explode higher, driving the banks cost of borrowing even higher. And so, the death spiral continues ...

Bible Conference in St. Louis!
Jubilee-Dedication of the Tabernacle-Temple
We will hold our Fall Bible Conference in St. Louis the weekend of October 7th through the 9th. Reservation and hotel details are below, but first our comments on the signs and symbolism of how this came about. Indeed, those dates (October 7-9) are not the weekend of the Feast of Tabernacles on the calendar, so something new is happening!
We are continually amazed [continued here]
Japan not hit by 9.0 quake? Did false flag nuclear weaponry actually destroy Fukushima nuke plant?
An actual 9.0+ mega-quake would have leveled the whole country of Japan. The damage at the nuclear power plant at Fukushima, and particularly at non-operational Reactor 4, could not have occurred simply from flooding or an earthquake, claims report.
What if the alleged 9.0+ magnitude mega-earthquake that was said to have hit off the coast of Japan back on March 11 never actually happened, and the resultant tsunami that destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was actually a deliberate, false flag attack using nuclear weapons? Freelance journalist Jim Stone offers compelling evidence that the official story we have all been told concerning the disaster is a phony cover-up for a concerted attack against Japan, possibly for offering to enriched uranium for Iran. Complete story here.

Islam and the fate of Norway
by Mike Scruggs
On the front page of the Sunday New York Times of July 24, Norwegian terrorist and mass-murderer Anders Breivik was called “a gun-loving, right-wing, fundamentalist Christian opposed to multiculturalism.”
With this mainly false statement, the Times’ reporter attacked and slandered two of the Times’ favorite enemies: the adherents of traditional Scripture-based Christianity and supporters of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
The desired implication was, of course, that conservative Christians, gun-owners, and advocates for limited government and traditional values should take part of the blame for Breivik’s twisted ideology and unspeakable crimes.
Breivik’s 1,500-page manifesto, however, indicates that he doesn’t have a clue about genuine Christianity. He writes in his manifesto and indicates in Internet posts that he is not religious, doubts God’s existence, and does not pray. He is an admirer of Charles Darwin and believes that science should have undisputed authority over religion, which is a crutch for weak people. He candidly admitted that he found no support for his actions in either Catholic or Protestant teachings.
Dr. Bruggeman comments: In a companion editorial to Scruggs' column, the Asheville Tribune quoted Rush Limbaugh’s response to a caller which noted: “In fact, he [Breivik] lifted whole sections of the Unabomber’s manifesto for his own 1500-page manifesto—and that’s a detail we haven’t heard too much about. This supposed extreme right-winger is a plagiarist of the Unabomber, who loved (progressive-liberal) Al Gore!” Scruggs' commentary continues here.
Feds seize elderberry juice from Kansas winery
To punish a crime, you must have a crime. The FDA creates crimes when elderberry juice concentrate magically becomes a drug! Such raids have taken place a lot in the last few years, but lately it’s almost overwhelming to keep up! FDA raids operate the same way: issue a warning not to make health claims, company makes changes, inspections ensue, everything seems fine with no more word from FDA, then BAM! agents raid the place like a crack house and confiscate the drug. ~ Health Freedoms
U.S. marshals have seized elderberry juice concentrate products distributed by a Mulvane area-based company because a federal agency said the products make false claims about prevention and treatment of diseases. The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that Wyldewood Cellars has been distributing products that are non-approved and misbranded drugs. [continued here]
Why QE2 Failed: The Money All Went Offshore
by Ellen Brown
On June 30, QE2 ended with a whimper. The Fed’s second round of “quantitative easing” involved $600 billion created with a computer keystroke for the purchase of long-term government bonds. But the government never actually got the money, which went straight into the reserve accounts of banks, where it still sits today. Worse, it went into the reserve accounts of FOREIGN banks, on which the Federal Reserve is now paying 0.25% interest. [continued here]
Come and Be Fed!
Our Twin Cities, Minnesota Area Bible Conference & Picnic will be held the weekend of July 16-17, 2011. Paul Kyle will provide music and Gary Peterson will be sharing on an emerging theme, “Show Me Your Glory.” Also speaking will be Ron Oja, Stephen Jones and James Bruggeman.
The first teaching will commence at mid-morning on Saturday, followed by the scrumptious potluck picnic lunch with plenty of time for fellowship. Then comes an afternoon teaching session, copious left-overs for supper, followed by an evening session. Sunday morning will see more teaching and will continue as long as it lasts in the afternoon. All attendees must pre-register by calling Gary or Rhonda at (651) 462-0201.
Rhonda will need to know how many are coming and who will bring a dish to share in order to make it a veritable smorgasbord. (Most of us follow Bible food laws, so bring biblically-clean food only, please. For example, no pork in the beans, no lard in anything, no shrimp salad, etc. If you want to learn more on the subject, order our pair of tapes or CD’s [specify which format], God’s Food Laws, #294 & 295, $10 ppd.). Bring your children to this family-friendly event. Invite your friends, and come enjoy both spiritual and physical food. Mark your calendars now. The meetings will be in a large indoor space, so rain or shine, come and be blest! It is essential that you contact Gary & Rhonda if you plan to come. They will provide directions to the conference location and give you information regarding lodging.
Looks can heal
LOS ANGELES - The next time you glare at someone for sneezing near you in an elevator, be sure to look long and hard at the offending germ spreader: It may protect you from getting what he or she has.
A new study published this month in Psychological Science suggests that the very sight of sickness prompts the immune system to mount defenses against illness. That finding follows naturally from earlier research suggesting that disgust - the typical first reaction we have to a person with, say, open sores - may be part of a "behavioral immune system." Revulsion, after all, makes us more likely to move away from the source of infection - and thereby less likely to catch it. [continued here]
Junk-fed rats have 'drug addict' brains
JUNK food may seem like an addictive drug because it is. In rats, at least, too much fatty food raises the threshold for feelings of satisfaction, sparking a cycle of compulsive overeating.
In people, addictive drugs desensitise the brain by raising the threshold of "reward" activity that is needed to feel satisfied: more drug is needed to achieve the same effect. Paul Kenny and colleagues at the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, Florida, wondered if fatty foods might also cause desensitisation.
They used electrodes to measure the sensitivity of rats' brains to reward activity. Some ate normal rat food while others had limited or unlimited access to junk foods, tasty to both rats and humans. After 40 days, the brains of those that ate junk freely were less sensitive than those in the other groups. They were also obese. From New Scientist, March 31, 2010 [article here]
The Insanity Virus

The March of History
It was not very long ago that attacks upon the authenticity of the Scriptures were the stock in trade of atheists alone. With only a very few exceptions, the heads of the Christian Church, and those charged with preaching the Gospel of Grace to their congregations, were staunch defenders of the Bible, fully supporting the accuracy of its recorded facts and avowing complete faith in its narratives of that which is miraculous. They were in hearty agreement with the Scriptural appraisal that is applicable to the atheist: “The fool hath aid in his heart, There is no God.” [Continued here.]
Hidden no more: Pyramid findings rock the Web
Are the glory days of the archaeologist over? Has everything cool and ancient already been discovered? Nope. Thanks to ever-improving technology, several new findings have electrified the Web.
A robot explorer recently discovered ancient markings at the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The robotic device found the markings inside a secret chamber inaccessible to humans--and then proceeded to film the painted hieroglyphics and stone markings, which hadn't been seen by human eyes in 4,500 years, via a small robotic camera that was fit through a tiny hole in a stone wall. [Continued here.]
Dr. Bruggeman comments: The late Bible archeologist, E. Raymond Capt, wrote two bvooks and produced one documentary concerning the marvels of the Great Pyramid and its connection with biblical prophecy. The Great Pyramid is truly "The Bible in Stone." The documentary (DVD) is available (here), and Great Pyramid Decoded (here) and A Study in Pyramidology (here).

The Organic Elite Surrenders to Monsanto:
What Now?
By Ronnie Cummins
“The policy set for GE alfalfa will most likely guide policies for other GE crops as well. True coexistence is a must.” - Whole Foods Market, Jan. 21, 2011
In the wake of a 12-year battle to keep Monsanto’s Genetically Engineered (GE) crops from contaminating the nation’s 25,000 organic farms and ranches, America’s organic consumers and producers are facing betrayal. A self-appointed cabal of the Organic Elite, spearheaded by Whole Foods Market, Organic Valley, and Stonyfield Farm, has decided it’s time to surrender to Monsanto. Top executives from these companies have publicly admitted that they no longer oppose the mass commercialization of GE crops, such as Monsanto’s controversial Roundup Ready alfalfa, and are prepared to sit down and cut a deal for “coexistence” with Monsanto and USDA biotech cheerleader Tom Vilsack.

The Epidemiology of Influenza
Every year around Halloween, I tell friends to watch for a sudden epidemic of colds and flu. Why does “flu season” always begin about that time? There is nothing complicated about it. It is because all the children go trick-or-treating (often in inclement weather) and bring home a vast number of candies and other sugar-laden treats. Over the next few days, as they consume the candy, their immune systems get depressed and they “catch” a cold from those nasty germs. The fact is, ... [click here for rest of article]
U.S. Financial Shipwreck Ahead
by Dr. James Bruggeman
Yesterday (November 3, 2010) the Fed announced that it was going ahead with Quantitative Easing, a euphemism meaning that they are monetizing the national debt. This is a watershed event in the financial history of the United States. They are/will be buying U.S. government bonds, but to do so, they will be cranking up the printing press to come up with the trillion-plus dollars needed. This is drastic! It points to the strong possibility of the U.S. following the German Weimar Republic model of hyperinflation in the early 1920s. It eviscerated the German economy and paved the way for the rise of Hitler and National Socialism...(Click here for the rest of this story)

Choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder
[Natural News] In its never-ending attempt to fabricate “mental disorders” out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now pushing the most ridiculous disease they’ve invented yet: Healthy eating disorder.
This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you’re “mentally diseased” and probably need some sort of chemical treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. (Full article here or, if missing, we’ve cached it here.
[Mike Adams of Natural News is right, this is no joke. He later asks the critical question: “But why, you ask, would they attack healthy eaters?

The “Bloom Box:” A step towards energy independence?
A Silicon Valley engineer/entrepreneur has invented a little box which might someday soon (5-10 years) be powering our homes. He takes the very abundant and cheap beach sand, makes thin ceramic squares of them, then coats them with his secret formula and stacks them to create a square. The little box looks to be an approximately five inch cube...large enough to power a home. Already, FedEx, Staples, Wal-Mart, Google, EBay and other large companies have bought and installed them at their facilities in California—and are finding the savings in electricity costs well worth the investment.
