SERVING THE MID-WILLAMETTE VALLEY EQUIP - ENCOURAGE - UNITE in truth
Why are internment camps being built? The Internet is abuzz with news about the construction of internment camps all across America. Of course, "mainstream" media outlets refuse to touch the subject; or if they do, they pooh-pooh the story; they do what Glenn Beck recently did: try to debunk the story as fallacious and impugn people who speak of it as "conspiracy nuts." The fact that the Becks, Hannitys, Limbaughs, and O'Reillys of the media circus refuse to deal with the construction of large numbers of internment camps does not make them disappear, however. For starters, all anyone need do to begin a serious investigation of the subject of internment camps is Google the phrase "FEMA Camps." There is more than enough evidence in that search engine alone to keep one busy with some in-depth private investigation of the subject for quite a while. Another URL to check out is this one from the June 2009 Idaho Observer: http://www.proliberty.com/observer/20090609.htm As people read my columns all across America, I have had numerous readers contact me, saying that they have personally witnessed the transportation of construction materials used for internment camps, have actually worked in and around them, or have personally seen such camps. These eyewitness testimonies have come from very credible people, including law enforcement and military personnel, as well as airline pilots and construction workers. Just a few weeks ago, I was aboard a cross-country flight when the passenger I was sitting next to (a total stranger) asked me
to take a look out the window. He asked, "Do those look like internment camps to you?" I was astonished that the man (1) would even know to notice such a potentiality, and (2) would be so bold as to ask such a question of a total stranger. I must say, I was extremely happy to make his acquaintance. And we had a very warm and invigorating discussion the rest of the trip. We were flying over Colorado, over extreme wilderness terrain, and, yes, right in the middle of nowhere, the buildings and surrounding features that I saw sure looked like internment camps to me. Of course, flying at over 30,000 feet in the sky makes it difficult for any kind of detailed analysis to take place; that is for sure. Then, a friend recently brought this URL to my attention: http://www.nationalguard.com/careers/ mos/description.php?mos_code=31E This is an advertisement by the National Guard promoting the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) of "Internment/ Resettlement Specialist." Question: why does the National Guard need to recruit Internment/Resettlement Specialists? What do they know that we should know? Furthermore, I have had military personnel tell me that many of the US military bases that have been recently "closed" are also being prepared as large-scale "holding areas." Obviously, the question that begs to be asked is, "Who is the US government planning to intern and resettle?" And another question is, "How many people are they planning to in-
tern that would require the massive number of camps that are apparently being constructed?" Some suggest that these facilities are being prepared for large numbers of illegal immigrants. This seems extremely doubtful, however, considering the propensity of the federal government to (1) do next to nothing to seriously curtail the flood of illegal aliens into America, (2) do virtually nothing to apprehend illegals known to be in the US, and (3) do everything it can to facilitate the release of those illegals incarcerated by State and local authorities. To think that the federal government intends to place thousands of illegal aliens in internment camps borders on lunacy. If anything, the federal government (with either Democrats or Republicans in charge) has done everything it can to (1) entice illegals to come to America, and (2) provide every incentive for them to stay illegally in this country after having entered. I feel safe in saying that we can eliminate the possibility that these camps are being prepared for illegal aliens. Others suggest that these internment camps are being constructed to accommodate "enemy combatants" from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Yet, the total number of these types of detainees is miniscule compared to the detention space being constructed. Can one really imagine the need to build facilities that could accommodate prisoners numbering in the tens of thousands to house a few hundred foreign troops? I don't think so. Then, of course, there are those who continue to deny that these internment camps exist at all. But then, were there not thousands of Germans who denied the existence of concentration camps during World War II? These types of people would refuse to believe the sun came up in the east
if the government spinmeisters told them it didn't. That our federal government is building large numbers of "holding areas" or internment camps seems to be an established fact. The only questions that remain are "Why?" and "For whom?" At this point, the imagination can take us anywhere, but it is not a little disconcerting when the same federal government that is building these internment camps begins categorizing Christians, conservatives, people who support the Second Amendment, people who oppose abortion and homosexual marriage, people who oppose the North American Union and the New World Order, people who oppose the United Nations and illegal immigration, and people who voted for Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin as "extremists," or "potential dangerous militia members." Anyone knows that before a government can begin persecuting and imprisoning large groups of people, they must first marginalize them. As someone said, "Just because you are paranoid does not mean they really aren't trying to get you." In fact, an argument could be made that by today's politically correct definition, America's Founding Fathers would be categorized as "paranoid," "extremists," or "potential dangerous militia members." I would even go so far as to question the patriotism of anyone today that is not a little paranoid. This federal government has certainly earned whatever paranoia citizens feel. Feelings of paranoia notwithstanding, why is the federal government constructing large numbers of internment camps, and who does the government plan on incarcerating in those camps? Those questions still need to be answered. (c) Chuck Baldwin

Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S. Needs to know the following... Something happened... H.R. 1388 was passed yesterday, behind our backs You may want to read about it. It wasn't mentioned on the news... Just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN screen. Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA. This is the news that didn't make the headlines... By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza. The "presidential determination",
which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States, was signed on January 27 and appeared in the Federal Register on February 4. Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
zion FIRST FRUITS OF
Prophets
Thought for the Month We have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts (2 Peter 1:19). Remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets (2 Peter 3:2) Commentary For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you to do so. (Deuteronomy 18:14) It is natural for people to seek spiritual direction for their lives. Uncertainty about the future, difficulty rendering an important decision, apprehension over an unpredictable circumstance or even simple curiosity inspire people to seek information from the supernatural. The Torah warns us not to seek spiritual direction from the occult. God forbids us to consult soothsayers, palm readers, fortune-tellers, mediums, psychics and the like. Horoscopes, sĂŠances, Ouija boards, divination, spell-casting and all other forms of occult arts are utterly forbidden. The Torah says that whoever practices occult arts is "detestable to the LORD" (Deuteronomy 18:12). The Didache, a compendium of instructions to Gentile believers composed sometime in the late first century or early second century, states that occultism is a form of idolatry: Thou shalt not practice magic, thou shalt not practice witchcraft. ... My child, be not an observer of omens, since it leads the way to idolatry; neither an enchanter, nor an astrologer, nor a purifier, nor be willing to took at these things; for out of all these idolatry is engendered. (Didache 2:2; 3:4)
The occult is the realm of the demonic. Playing with the occult is an invitation to bring demonic activity into our lives. Rather than turn to the occult for contact with the supernatural, Israel is to turn to God's prophets. Wouldn't it be nice if there were reliable prophets like Moses today? Imagine having the ability to seek counsel directly from God. Suppose you were trying to decide whether a certain person was right for you to marry. Few decisions in life are so momentous. If there was ever a time to seek spiritual direction, it would be at that moment. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to go to a reliable and true prophet of God and ask the question? The prophet could consult the LORD on your behalf, and you would receive a direct answer. On rare occasions, the gift of prophecy did function like that, but the prophet of God was not a kosher fortune-teller. The true prophet could only speak what God gave him to speak. He could not force an answer from God. Ordinarily it was God who initiated a prophecy by sending a prophet out to deliver a message. In today's world, true prophets are sparse. "Word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were infrequent" (1 Samuel 3:1). But we are not left without spiritual direction. We have the written Word of God, which was spoken and recorded by the prophets. Our Bible is the written transcript of God's conversations with the prophets. The books of the prophets preserve the living voice of God, offer concrete spiritual direction, and reveal the future. When we are in need of spiritual direction, the first place we should look is inside our Bibles.

Let's review....itemized list of some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since his inauguration: His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory. His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television. His first executive order was to fund/ facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S., but within the world, using U. S. Tax payer funds. He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees
halted. He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed. He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11. Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense. These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages Doubtful? To verify this for yourself:
SCHUMER PROMISES AMNESTY FOR 30 MILLION ILLEGALS BY LABOR DAY The lead Democrat steering an immigration overhaul through the Senate said Wednesday he expects to have a bill ready by Labor Day that is more generous to highly skilled immigrant workers than those who are lower skilled and is tough on future waves of illegal immigration. In an interview with The Associated Press, Sen. Chuck Schumer said an immigration bill can be done by the end of the year or early next year that works out disagreements between labor and business interests on the flow of legal foreign workers. "I think we'll have a good bill by Labor Day," said Schumer, D-N.Y. "I think the fundamental building blocks are in place to do comprehensive immigration reform." Schumer said the way to get the bill done is to be very tough on future waves of illegal immigration. He declared himself pro-immigration and said the U.S. should encourage legal immigration and find some kind of path for people now here to find a way to legal citizenship. "We have a shortage maybe of engineers here or Ph.D's in physics, but we probably don't have a shortage of people who can do construction work," Schumer said. The AFL-CIO and the Change to Win labor unions earlier this year announced their support for immigration reform, which they have opposed in the past. But the unions' continued opposition to increases in visas for foreign workers is at odds with the demand by business for legal foreign workers in industries ranging from high-technology to agriculture. "I think one of the ways to bridge it is to look at the different areas of labor and where there are shortages and where there are not and where just workers are being brought in for exploitive purposes broadly put meaning just get lower wages rather than having a shortage," Schumer said. "I think if you look at each broad field you can see that one size does not fit all." Schumer's office has met to dyscuss his bill with Compete America, a coalition
pushing for more visas for foreign workers. Members of the group are skeptical of a labor proposal for an appointed commission to set limits on visas and green cards given to legal residents, said Robert Hoffman, an in-house lobbyist for Oracle, a software company and member of Compete America. Ana Avendano, AFL-CIO's director of immigration policy, said Schumer's "one size doesn't fit all" view is shared by labor. "We want employers to have workers they need, but the key is determining when there is a real need, not one employers make up when they import temporary workers." Earlier Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said beginning Sept. 8, businesses wanting federal contracts would have to use E-Verify, a Web-based system, to check whether their employees are legally working in the U.S. The Bush and Obama administrations had delayed implementing the rule. The Senate voted for a proposal to make the E-Verify system permanent as it debated a spending bill for the Homeland Security Department. The department also said it is abandoning a Bush administration plan to force employers to fire workers who can't resolve a mismatch between their Social Security numbers don't match their names. The administration said it would come up with a new rule. The Bush administration had tried to root out undocumented workers through so-called "no-match" letters that the Social Security Administration sends employers. But a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union has prevented the rule from taking effect. Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said the two announcements send mixed signals. "The administration is saying illegal immigrants shouldn't have jobs by supporting the federal contracting rule, but making it harder for companies to follow the law by doing away with the Bush 'no-match rule,' " Smith said.

Obama Finally Comes Out of the Closet
After repeated statements made during Senator Obama’s presidential campaign that he did not believe in same-sex marriage, the Obama Administration has come out this week swinging with both fists to fight against the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), calling it discriminatory against homosexuals.President Barack Obama This attack on natural marriage is a clear example of Obama’s unprincipled political hypocrisy. Obama is now out of the closet with his support for homosexual unions and rights. CADC warned of this last fall and it should be no surprise to anyone. Obama’s double-mindedness was clear even in the midst of his presidential campaign. He would not support California’s Proposition 8 that protected the definition of natural marriage, but still argued that he was for traditional marriage. Now the Department of Justice reflects Obama’s marital schizophrenia. In one case the DOJ is seeking to have a suit brought by a same-sex California couple challenging the DOMA dismissed. On the other hand a new lawsuit has been brought forth challenging the Act’s constitutionality. Justice Department lawyer Scott Simpson declared that the Obama administration "does not
support DOMA as a matter of policy," and "believes that the Act is discriminatory and should be repealed by Congress." In a written statement, President Obama states that he has "long held that DOMA prevents LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered] couples from being granted equal rights and benefits." Obama’s support for the radical homosexual agenda has been apparent since the beginning of his presidency. From inviting the notorious, openly homosexual Episcopal Bishop, Eugene Robinson, to lead in presidential inaugural festivities, to inviting homosexual “families” for the White House Easter Egg hunt, to his historic first ever meeting with homosexual activists in the White House, Obama’s support for the homosexual cause has been very clear and unwavering. Yet, this is not the “change” that people voted for. Every time voters are given the chance to vote on homosexual marriage they always come out in favor of natural marriage. Even some that supported Obama did so under the assumption that he was for traditional marriage. In his famous interview with Rick Warren, when asked what he believed marriage to be, Obama stated, “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me
as a Christian — for me — for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.” When asked by Warren if he would support a Constitutional Amendment defining it that way, Obama replied that he wouldn’t, “Because historically, we have not defined marriage in our constitution. It’s been a matter of state law. That has been our tradition. I mean, let’s break it down. The reason that people think there needs to be a constitutional amendment, some people believe, is because of the concern that — about samesex marriage. I am not somebody who
promotes same-sex marriage, but I do believe in civil unions.” Confused? You should be because Obama’s position is logically challenged and conflicted. If DOMA is overturned then all the laws in 41 states protecting natural marriage would be overturned under the 14th Amendment “full faith and credit” clause of the Constitution. Even voter approved amendments to 30 state constitutions would be overturned. All states would have to honor out of state homosexual marriages.
