SUICIDE - Continued ( written by Chuck _IO H N E L)

When we speak of "suicide" there is one common denominator that is almost always involved: demons. In my early years of deliverance work I found that suicides are

first beset by a spirit of depression (demon) and that would lead to a spirit of suicide (demon). One demonic entity worked hand in hand with the other, first a spirit of depression followed by a spirit of suicide.

April 18, 2012: Dr. Tom White, The Executive Director of the "VOICE OF THE MARTYRS" Ministry committed suicide. The April 25, 2012 letter of that Ministry stated: (Quote) "The day before (April 17`''x, allegations were made to authorities that Tom had inappropriate contact with a young girl. I personally believe that rather than face those allegations and the resulting fallout for his fi^mily and this ministry, Tom chose to end his life. James E. Dau, President YOM. " (Unquote) It is obvious that the enemy tempted brother Tom and then worked to expose him And once achieving that, the demons encouraged him to end his life and in that moment of shame heaped on him by demons, he was persuaded to end his life. He

ought to have owned up to his sin, confessed it and sought Jesus' help, trusting the Lord to see him through.

146 SUICIDES: A few days ago the Fox News reported that there have been 146 suicides among military men and women in the last 14$ days - almost a suicide a day!

This plague of suicides tells me that demons are working to kill off God's people, as most of these who take their lives are Christians.

However, these are Christians who lack an intimate and personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST. This is why we encourage "abiding" in Christ.

JESUS' WORD of April 21, 1977 (see cover page) was addressing the "Second Year of Judgment" when this nation will be hard pressed with energy shortages, no gas, little food, starvation, 50% unemployment, the dollar becoming worthless on top of severe weather. Right now the Net of Prayer, with added Intercessors joined to us by the SPIRIT OF GOD, are holding back a massive flood of demons that would trigger this judgment and that would lead to mass suicides. Although hard times are coming, we need hold fast to JESUS, trust Him and draw near to Him in abiding and

SUICIDE - Continued (written by Chuck IQHNEL) in prayer.

Although we are seeing an emergence of "suicides" at this time, we are NOT yet its the Second Year of Judgment; in fact, we are only nearing the threshold of the First Year of Judgment.

The significant masses of demons are being held back by the Net of Prayer and many Christian Intercessors joined to our ranks by the HOLY SPIRIT. When the massive numbers of demons manage to break past us and into America and this world we will see things change dramatically and a sudden surge of j udgment.

THE NUCLEAR BOMB INSIDE THE U.S.

In August of 005 JESUS led me to call the Net of Prayer to intercede to intercept and deal with three nuclear bombs being smuggled over the border from Mexico.

These bombs were complete in themselves except that none had the weapons grade plutonium that would make them nuclear bombs.

Our prayer then was specific, we prayed in JESUS' Name that one of the nuclear bombs be rendered utterly useless and be broken by His Hand. We also asked

that the second nuclear bomb be caused, by HIS SPIRIT, to malfunction and then be uncovered, located and dismantled by U.S. law enforcement agencies according to JESUS' Word and Revelation. We lastly prayed asking the FATHER GOD to move the F.S.I. and other law enforcement agencies to move to seek His Revelation and Guidance to find the third nuclear bomb. ,

On Januarl 6, 2006 Richard-DANIEL and Retta (N.0.P. Intercessor) telephoned me

Page 4

June 15, 2012

THE NUCLEAR BOMB INSIDE THE U.S. (Continued) to report that Steve Quayle on his short wave show, stated this, as relayed to me by Richard-DANIEL, (Quote) "On January 5, 2006 at 7PM EST Steve Quayle reported that he had a witness of two different sources where a very sophisticated nuclear device was apprehended and disarmed in Arizona. Steve Quayle stated that he had heard from two different contacts in two different agencies of the Federal government that didn't know each other, that within 48 hours of 1/5/06 that such an event occurred. He also stated that the Feds were on the trail of several other devices as well. According to his sources the device wasn't a dirty bomb, neither was it "makeshift". It was a real deal, a sophisticated nuclear device." (Unquote) These quotes were taken from reports written to the Net of Prayer Intercessors in 2005 and 2006.

JANUARY 10, 2006 TROOPS MOVED TO THE BORDER On January 10, 2006 it was reported on Fox News that liberal Governor of Arizona ordered 100+National Guard troops to the border. Her action surprised Bill O'Reilly who was very aware of how strongly that Arizona Governor resisted any thought of sending troops to the Mexican border.

God's answer to prayer: We know that one bomb was badly damaged in transit and discarded and the second bomb was intercepted by the Feds and disarmed. That left one bomb, a very sophisticated weapon which only lacked weapons grade plutonium to make it a nuclear bomb.

In 2006 JESUS revealed that this bomb was broken down and buried in Kansas and Missouri on ground these terrorists owned or had access to.

In the early months of 2012 JESUS revealed that the ter r orists dug the bomb up and had an engineer work to re-assemble and repair/clean it and it is now well hidden somewhere in Missouri.

Border Distraction : In 2006 JESUS revealed that when the terrorists have the weapons grade plutonium that they will smuggle it across the border from Mexico while causing an action elsewhere to draw law enforcement agents away from the area they plan to move the plutonium across the border. We have waited and watched

THE NUCLEAR BOMB INSIDE THE U.S. (continued) since 2006 for such an event.

APRIL 21, 2012 MAJOR ACTIVITY ON THE BORDER WITH MEXICO Richard-DANIEL got this news item that we did not see or hear about (not unlike in 2006) and sent me this e-mail:

(Quote) "Richard-DANIEL on April 26, 2012 . Douglas, AZ/Mexico Border Nuclear Weapons Hunt/Letter from Law Enforcement Listener. "Apri 1 26, 2012.

Steve [Quayle], On Saturday 04/21/2012, there was major activity along the

border at Douglas, Arizona. I personally witnessed approx 20 civilian vehicles pulled over (approx I mile from the border head i ng towards Tombstone), many were high speed chases. In addition, approx 30 Border Patrol vehicles were traveling in a convoy towards the Mexican border.

Monday, I heard an Interview with a San Diego reporter and Border Patrol agent, asking about this activity. The BP Agent stated they were looking for weapons of "mass effect?" I'm sure you heard this interview? When asked for further clarification, he said "nuclear devices".

Didn't Iran just threaten to set off nukes in several American cities if they

were attacked?

You probably already heard this, just wanted to make sure." (Unquote)

Based on what JESUS told me about this back in 1979, I believe that the terrorist's target for this nuclear bomb is Chicago. The new Daily Prayer sheet addresses this issue.

As JESUS has said nothing about this at this time, past His Word of 2005-2006, 1 can only take the obvious position that weapons grade plutonium is inside the U.S. and moving to match with the nuclear bomb device. I "know" by the SPIRIT OF GOD that the terrorists are being very, very careful in their movements and actions trying to avoid detection. I also perceive that they have a specific date in mind but what that is I do not know. Right the best we can do is intercede asking FATHER GOD to intervene and help us. I'm also aware that the demon armies waiting to break into this world would facilitate and empower the ter r orists. Pray. Thank you.

A NAZIFIED AMERICA Starting back in 1977 when I considered why Russia would invade the U.S., it was apparent to me that America would more and more move towards "fascism." Russia, which lost 27 Million dead in World War II fighting Fascist/Nazi Germany, would see the dangers coming their way. To use an expression, they'd smell the "hair of the dog" that nearly fatally bit them in World War II. This would make them predisposed to see an attack on America as being a preemptive strike to avoid being a victim of a first strike by America on Russia.

In World War II, Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union and Russia, knew from Hitler's

book (Mein Kampf or "My Struggle") that he, Hitler, planned to invade the Soviet Union. At one point, when Germany was wholly committed to the invasion of France, they were vulnerable. Had Stalin struck preemptively into Germany, Germany would have collapsed and the people of the Soviet Union would have been spared the horrors of the Nazi invasion that took 27 Million lives and destroyed much of the Soviet Union.

It was shortly after beastman Obama became President (2008) and began leading America down the road to Socialism that President of Russia, V. Putin, personally warned Obania against going into Socialism. The Nazis/Fascists were Socialists and I perceived that Putin saw a potential danger emerging in the U.S.

More recently I received a copy of the McAlvany Report which addressed this very issue. (Quote McAlvany) "THE MCALVANY INTELLIGENCE ADVISOR. Ominous Parallels Between Nazi Germany in the 1930s and America Today." "In Germany, the Nazis first cafne . for the communists, and I didn 't speak up because I warn 't a communist. Then the y came for the Jews, and I didn 't speak up because I wasn 't a Jew. Then they came_ for the trade unionists, and I didn 't speak up because I wasp 't a trade unionist.

Then they caine . 16r the Catholics, and I didn 't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Finally, they carne for me, but there was no one left to speak up. " — Martin Niemoeller, a Lutheran Pastor who was sent to the Dachau Concentration Camp in

1938.

There are some ominous parallels between the emergence of Nazism in Germany in the 1930s and the emergence of socialism and globalisni in America in our day.

THE MCALVANY INTELLIGENCE ADVISOR (Quote continued) Nazism, fascism, and communism had a number of common denominators: an all -

powerful totalitarian dictatorial government that controlled all aspects of their subjects' lives; massive numbers of rules, regulations, and laws enforced by an a 11-powerfuI bu reaucracy; and a preoccupation with death. All three were secular humanist (i.e., worshiped and elevated man versus God) to the core. All three were based on man's reason and a rejection of God, His authority, and His law.

Socialism (which America is presently plunging into) is simply communism or Nazism minus (at least for the present) the total dictatorship or gulag — as in Sweden in recent decades. Socialism is simply a small step away from communism or Nazism. As the head of the Labor Socialist Party (who was also a communist) in England, John Strachey, once said in the 1930s: "We cannot go directly from capitalism to communism. Socialism is a necessary stone or transition. Hence, all communists should work for socialism." Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Gorbachev, Castro, etc., are (or were) all, first and foremost, socialists. (So is Barack Obama, most of his subordinates in his Administration, and the great majority of the Democrat Party today.)

Most people condemn Nazism because of its gross manifestations (i.e. the Holocaust, the extermination of millions of Jews and others, the death and destruction of World War II, etc.) rather than because of its essence. Nazism was much more than killing Jews and starting wars. It was rejection of God, His authority, and His law.

To understand Nazism and where we are headed today in America, we must understand western thought in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The acceptance of what passed for scientific knowledge led to weakened spiritual faith and the rejection of Christianity, which is the stabilizing force in this world. Man has elevated himself to the position of a god (the essence of secular humanism), determining that he can better understand the forces of nature than the God who established them.

The 1920s and early 1930s in Germany's Weimar Republic saw rampant inflation and debt accumulation, monetary, economic, social, political, moral and spiritual decline on a scale unprecedented in German history. America since 1980 has experienced the same thing.

America Today is Following in Nazi Germany's Footsteps . There are a number of ominous parallels between Nazi Germany in the 1930s and America in our day which should be contemplated: 1. A preoccupation with death. In the 1930s the German people began to have a preoccupation with death. Via abortion, they killed

ANSWERED PRAYER - THANK YOU JESUS PRAISE GOD!!!

In April of this year we issued a special prayer sheet with our focus on ASKING FATHER GOD for His Help. A number of issues drew our attention and in and out ofprayer, the Ministry Leadership brought our added prayer focus to "Unions" in the government areas where their demands were literally bankrupting both the states and the nation.

Added to this we were seeing increasing violence in the streets with the "Occupy Wall Street" radicals screaming to destroy Capitalism and to set-up a Socialist States, a system that has bankrupted Europe. Aware that the enemy was behind this, the prayer we issued April 5, 2012 was as follows: UNIONS PRAYER:Dear Heavenly FATHER GOD, we ASK in JESUS' sweet and precious Name that You intervene by Your HOLY SPIRIT to expose the Union leaders' plans to trigger nationwide riots and disruptions. Shed Your Light upon them and expose them for what they are and what they are doing before they cause havoc, death and destruction in our nation. Break their power and bring them down by Your Hand.

As the Occupy Wall Street mobs rioted, they set Oakland (a Liberal City) ablaze (literally) in their wake they left six dead, countless injured (Police and Rioters).

About two weeks ago Bill O'Reilly looked into who and what was behind the "Occupy Wall Street" mobs. He went on the TV Airways to inform that he found that the AFL CID and SEIU Unions and George Soros were both leading and financing the "Occupy Wall Street" mobs. The unions were exposed big time, an answer to our prayers.

SCOTT WALKER, GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN: This conservative was

elected one and a half years ago. He followed a liberal Democratic Governor,, whose policies favoring the Unions resulted in 140,000 people losing their jobs, the education system (controlled by Unions) was substandard and the State of Wisconsin fell into a debt of $3.4 Billion.

Governor Scott Walker, in a year and a half, ended regulations that strangled businesses's which in turn led to a surge in job creation. He lowered taxes on homes and businesses and reduced the State deficit from $3.4 Billion to just under $400

ANSWERED PRAYER - THANK YOU JESUS, PRAISE GOD!!!

SCOTT WALKER GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN (Continued): Million. The Unions were furious and attacked Walker, mobbed the State Legislature Building and collected enough signatures for a "Recall Vote" to remove Walker as Governor.

Something like $40 Million was spent by the Unions and supporters around the country to overthrow Walker.

When the vote was tallied, Scott Walker won by a landslide, something like a ten point lead over his opponent. Even as we asked FATHER GOD, He broke their power and brought them down by His Hand. Praise the Lord for answered prayer.

THE MEANING? I see it in this way. The enemy is persistent, they got a bloody nose and maybe a black eye here; however, the threat is real and it is not going away.

I see it clearly that "IF" God's people are led, galvanized, to pray and seek His help, they could handily crush the enemy through prayer alone. FATHER GOD demonstrated that if we ASK He will RESPOND. We have seen that response in the destroyed North Korean Missile and now in the Union prayer that exposed evil men with evil intent at work.

The Net of Prayer, even with several hundreds of thousands of Intercessors being added to us by the SPIRIT OF GOD cannot do all the work alone. The greater body, the Church, is asleep. In the end we will be able to protect our own, those faithful to JESUS; those who are not will become easy kills for the billions of demons readying to fight their way into this world, to get past us.

RED CHINA BUYING OUR COUNTRY FROM UNDER OUR FEET I do not blame the Chinese for this, they are only doing what anyone with brains would do: an opportunity to seize a beautiful land, to get oil, coal and other minerals at bargain basement prices, to buy our land and set-up Chinese colonies in America.

I wonder what kind of Americans would do this, to deliberately destroy our nation.

I discern a treasonous "deal" has been cut at the highest levels. ..they are buying these with all of our "worthless" dollars. Go to the store and most of the stuff is made in China.

RED CHINA BUYING OUR COUNTRY Continued dollars who buy our resources. ..and, they aren't about to leave, either. .

The Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us. (Unquote Richard-DANIEL) (Quote) "Why Is The Gbama Administration Allowing The Chinese Government To Buy Up U.S. Oil And Gas Deposits Worth Billions Of Dollars?" If we are trying to become independent of foreign oil, then why is the Obama administration allowing the Chinese government to buy up U.S. oil and gas deposits worth billions of dollars? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, The United States desperately needs to maintain control over its own domestic energy resources so that we can end our addiction to foreign oil. As I have written about previously, the United States actually has plenty of oil. If we would simply use the resources that we already have we would never have to import a single drop of foreign oil. But instead, we continue to be the largest importer of oil on the planet and we are allowing China to rapidly buy up oil and gas deposits inside the United States. This

is fundamentally wrong and it is a serious threat to our national security. But apparently everything is for sale in the United States today, and that includes our precious energy resources.

The Chinese government is using two giant corporations to buy up these energy resources.

The first is the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). According to Wikipedia, this corporation is 100% owned by the Chinese government.. .

CNOOC Group is a state-owned oil company, fully owned by the Government of the People's Republic of China, and the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) performs the rights and obligations of shareholder on behalf of the government.

The second is Sinopec Corporation. Sinopec Group is the largest shareholder (about 75% of the shares) in Sinopec Corporation. And as the Sinopec website tells us, Sinopec Group is owned by the Chinese government...

Sinopec Group, the largest shareholder of Sinopec Corp., is a super-large petroleum and petrochemical group incorporated by the State in 1998 based on the former China Petrochemical Corporation. Funded by the State, 1t is a State authorized investment arm and State-owned controlling company.

So wherever you see CNOOC or Sinopec you can replace those names with the Chinese government. The Chinese government essentially runs both of those companies.

And both companies have been very busy buying up U.S. oil and gas deposits.

For example, CNOOC recently completed a 570 million dollar deal that gives it a one-third interest in huge oil and gas deposits in Colorado and Wyoming. The following is from Wyoming Energy News. .."Chinese energy company CNOOC Ltd.

Page 12

The Staff and Sword Ministry

June 17, 2012

RED CHINA BUYING OUR COUNTRY (Continued) has agreed to pay $570 million for a one-third interest in Chesapeake Energy Corp.'s 800,000 leased acres in northeast Colorado and southeast Wyoming. The acreage is in the DenverJulesburg (DJ) and Powder River Basins. CNOOC is China's biggest offshore oil and natural gas producer."

In fact, according to a recent Business Insider article, this deal gives the Chinese government the right to a third of any new oil discovered by Chesapeake Energy in the entire region..

The Niobrara Shale formation stretches over Colorado and Wyoming, as well as Kansas and Nebraska. Chesapeake Energy's position is in Wyoming and Colorado. If Chesapeake finds any more oil in this region, CNOOC has the rights to 33.3% of what is found. ..But this is not the only area of the country where China now owns energy rights. The following is an excerpt from a recent state-by-state breakdown that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. .

Louisiana: Sinopec has a one-third interest in 265,000 acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale after a broader $2.5-billion deal with Devon Energy.

Michigan: Sinopec gained a one-third interest in 350,000 acres in a larger S2.5billion deal with Devon Energy.

Ohio; Sinopec acquired a one-third stake in Devon Energy's 235,000 Utica Shale acres in a larger $2.5-billion deal.

Oklahoma: Sinopec has a one-third interest in 215,000 acres in a broader $2.5billion deal with Devon Energy.

Texas: CNOOC acquired a one-third interest in Chesapeake Energy's 600,000 acres in the Eagle Ford Shale in a $2.16-billion deal.

The Texas deal was particularly noteworthy. The following is how a San Antonio news source described that deal. .."State-owned Chinese energy giant CNOOC is buying a multi-billion dollar stake in 600,000 acres of South Texas oil and gas fields, potentially testing the political waters for further expansion into U.S. energy reserves."

With the announcement Monday that it would pay up to $2.2-billion for a onethird stake in Chesapeake Energy assets, CNOOC lays claim to a share of properties that eventually could produce up to half a-million barrels a day of oil equivalent.

So why is the Obama administration allowing this to happen? ...But oil and gas are not the only assets that the Chinese have been buying up.

In a previous article, I detailed how the Chinese have been purchasing huge chunks of real estate all over the country as well. ...According to a recent report in the New York Times, investors from China

RED CHINA BUYING OUR COUNTRY (Continued) are "snapping up luxury apartments" and are planning to spend hundreds of millions on commercial and residential projects like Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. Chinese companies also have signed major leases at the Empire State Building and at I World Trade Center, the report said.

In addition, it was recently announced that the Federal Reserve will now allow Chinese banks to buy up American banks.

Where will all of this end?

Should all of us start learning to speak Chinese?

Meanwhile, our trade deficit with China continues to get even larger. Our trade deficit with China last year was $295.5 billion, which was the largest trade deficit that one country has had with another country in the history of the world. This year, we are already on a pace to break that record.

So thousands of businesses, millions of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars will continue to leave the United States and go to China.

And China will continue to use some of the money they are getting from us to buy up pieces of America.

Does anyone else out there see something very, very wrong with all of this?"

Comment by Chuck-JOHNEL: "If' the U.S Government opened up the land they own in many states for exploration and drilling for oil it is estimated that within 4 years of such an undertaking the U.S. would become 100% energy independent and could become an oil exporter. We could make upwards of $16 Trillion a year on exporting our oil alone. How long would it last? Anywhere from 400 to 600 years we have that much energy in our ground.

When beastman Obama wrote his hook, " Dreams from my Father ", he was revealing his view of'the I.S. as an Imperial power that stole from other nations to become rich. He wants to give America away to poor nations. The ventures with China being one such "give it away" program. The I.S. was never an Imperialist Power, we did

not own other nations or take from them as many other nations did. The wealth we obtained came from several sources: first-most, we were a Christian nation, with Christian morals as our guidelines and we spent both time and money to help other nations world wide. Then, we worked our land, we had a Capitalistic system (Free Enterprise, and with GOD who blessed us, we became both wealthy and powerful.

Perfect, we were not, but compared to the rest of the world, we were a bright shining city on a hill, a blessed people and our prosperity sprang from Christ our Lord.

Focus On the Light, by Rick Joyner. May 25L2012. (Quote) "We know from

Scripture that with unity there is a multiplication of spiritual authority. There is the Biblical testimony that one can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand to flight. The Lord also taught that if any two could agree, then it would be done for

them. Of course, this agreement is more than just an intellectual assent to a matter; rather it implies an actual and deep union between the two. This takes an investment in both the matter that we are uniting about and the people we are uniting with, but it is not superficial.

Just as Elijah, a prophet and seer, was deceived into thinking he was the only one Ieft who stood for the Lord, when in reality the Lord had many thousands more, we are not alone. The Lord has many more than we know who are standing for His truth. However, even if we are alone and we die for our stand, is there a better way to die? We are seeing a remarkable miracle take place in the Body of Christ in America right now --- the Body of Christ is starting to come together in unity. It may still be far from what our idealism would imply unity is, but it is happening.

We are coming to the greatest opportunity we have ever had to be who we are called to — faithful witnesses who esteem the truth of the Gospel more than our own lives. We will see those who we may think are weak showing remarkable courage and strength. In the increasing darkness, we will see the Church arise in unprecedented light and glory. We will see Isaiah 60:1-5 fulfilled: "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in the arms. Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you."

As we see here, it is during the times of great darkness that the glory of the Lord appears on His people. In verse 3, the Bible says the light will win and the nations will come to the light, not stay in the darkness. .. To be the light, we must have our focus on the light. This does not mean that we will not be aware of the darkness and even have an understanding of the schemes of the devil, but we will be changed into what we behold, as we are told in 2 Corinthians 3:18..." (Unquote) LIBERTY DEFINED , by Ron Paul. (Quote) "America's history and political ethos are all about liberty. The Declaration of Independence declares that life, liberty, and

Page 15

LIBERTY DEFINED b y Ron Paul, (Quote continued) the pursuit of happiness are unalienable rights, but I believe that both life and the pursuit of happiness also depend on liberty as a fundamental bedrock of our country. We use the word almost as a cliche. But do we know what it means? Can we recognize it when we see it?

More importantly, can we recognize the opposite of liberty when it is sold to us as a form of freedom?

Liberty means to exercise human rights in any matter a person chooses so long as it does not interfere with the exercise of the rights of others. This means, above all else, keeping government out of our lives. Only this path Ieads to the unleashing of human energies that build civilization, provide security, generate wealth, and protect the people from systematic rights violations. In this sense, only liberty can truly ward off tyranny, the great and eternal foe of mankind.

The definition of liberty I use is the same one that was accepted by Thomas Jefferson and his generation. It is the understanding derived from the great freedom tradition, for Jefferson himself took his understanding from John Locke (1632-1704).

I use the term "liberal" without irony or contempt, for the liberal tradition in the true sense, dating from the late Middle Ages until the early part of the twentieth century, was devoted to freeing society from the shackles of the state. This is an agenda I embrace, and one that I believe all Americans should embrace.

To believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out

their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions.

Do our leaders in Washington believe in liberty? They sometimes say they do.

I don't think they are telling the truth. .

Of course, the costs of this leviathan (Washington DC) are incalculably large.

The twentieth century endured two world wars, a worldwide depression, and a fortyfive-year "Cold War" with two superpowers facing off with tens of thousands of intercontinental missiles armed with nuclear warheads. And yet the threat of government today, all over the world, may well present a greater danger than anything that occurred in the twentieth century. We are policed everywhere we go: work, shopping, home, and church. Nothing is private anymore: not property, not family, not even our houses of worship. We are encouraged to spy on each other and to stand passively as governments agents scan us, harass us, and put us in our place day after day. If you object, you are put on a hit list. If you fight to reveal the truth, as WikiLeaks or other websites have done, you are targeted and can be crushed.

Sometimes it seems as if we are living in a dystopian novel like 1984 or Brave New

Report on Red China - Colonizing America

45 Signs That China is Colonizing America , website http://endoftheamericandream.com . Sent by Richard-DANIEL, May 24, 2012, ( Quote)". . . As a nation, we buy far, far more from China than they buy from us. As a result, China is absolutely swimming in cash and they have been looking for things to do with all that money. One thing that China has done is Ioan the U.S. government over a trillion dollars and this has given the Chinese a tremendous amount of leverage over us. China has also started to buy up businesses, real estate and natural resources all over America. This kind of "economic colonization" is similar to what China has already been doing in Africa, South America and Australia.. #1. It was recently announced that China's Dalian Wanda Group has bought U.S. movie theater chain AMC Entertainment for a whopping 2.6 billion dollars. This deal represents China's biggest corporate takeover of a U.S. firm ever. #2. Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve announced that it has given approval for banks owned by the Chinese government to buy stakes in U.S.-owned banks. ...#4. A recent investigation by the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services found more than one million counterfeit Chinese parts in the Department of Defense supply chain. How in the world could we be so stupid? ...#6. A Chinese company known as "Sino-Michigan Properties LLC" has purchased 200 acres of land near the town of Milan, Michigan. The goal is to build a "China City" with artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens. #7. As I reported on recently, corporations controlled by the Chinese

government have been rapidly buying up U.S. oil and gas deposits worth billions of dollars. #8. Chinese investors have been gobbling up real estate all over New York City. .#l0. According to ABC News, major road and bridge projects all over the United States are being built by Chinese companies. Meanwhile, there are millions upon millions of blue collar American workers that cannot find _jobs. The following is a brief excerpt from a recent ABC News Article. ..In New York there is a 5400

In California, there is a 57.2 billion project to rebuild the Bay Bridge connecting San Francisco and Oakland. In Alaska, there is a proposal for a $190 million bridge project.

These projects sound like steps in the right direction, but much of the work is going to Chinese government-owned firms. • .#11. The new World Trade Center tower is going to include glass that has been imported from China. ...# 14. A couple of years ago, a large Chinese company was considering building "a 10,000 to 30,000-acre technology zone for industry, retail centers and homes" just south of Boise, Idaho. .#18. America has lost more than a quarter of all of its high-tech manufacturing jobs over the past ten years. #19. According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing half a million jobs to China every single year. . . .#23. The United States has Iost an average of approximately 50,000 manufacturing jobs a month and more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have been shut down since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. #24. The United States has lost a staggering 32% of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000. ..•#34. China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of U.S. defense systems. ...#36. According to Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton University, 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades. ...The greatest economy the world has ever seen is falling to pieces right in front of our eyes and most Americans are dead asleep."

The Sleeping Dragon: Fukushima Forever The Sleeping Dra on: Fukushima Forever, by Dr. Mark Sircus. May 21, 2012. From: www.theinelhuh.corn. (Quote) "In the first week after Fukushima, this physicist genius called for a massive international effort to bury the entire nuclear complex to protect as much as possible the human race from nuclear contamination.

Dr. Michio Kaku said early on that "Tepco utility people are outclassed and overwhelmed and should be removed from their positions and that we would see increases in leukemias and thyroid cancers from the massive amounts of radioactive iodine being released."

The Sleeping Dragon: Fukushima Forever (Quote continued) ...The Norwegian Institute just published a report stating that the Fukushima disaster released twice as much radiation as initially estimated.

It is said that radioactive cesium attaches to muscle cells, including heart cells, and is causing an increase in heart attacks, including heart attacks in young and otherwise healthy athletes who do a lot of cycling and running outdoors. The heart only replaces 1-2% of its cells per year, so it would be more vulnerable to radioactivity than other cells. We already know this is the case with mercury and that athletes have fallen over dead and have been found to have mercury levels 10,000 times higher in their heart tissues.

There have also been increases in infant mortality that started immediately after the disaster. "Infant mortality is the most sensitive indicator of radioactive pollution," says Leuren Moret. Moret reported that when the nuclear plant at Rancho seco was shut down, children's mortality rate dropped 20%, and when the Diablo Canyon plant was turned on, the local population was exposed to enough radiation to drive up the childhood cancer rates in the local area by 80%.

Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen is saying that radioactive rain-outs will continue for a year, even in Western U.S. and Canada—because the Japanese are burning radioactive materials. Gundersen says that this radioactivity ends up not only in neighboring prefectures, but also in Hawaii, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington and California. Gundersen warns of radioactive air, water, and soil that are going to affect the entire northern hemisphere if not the entire world. Leuren Moret says she has documented 100,000 excess American deaths since the Fukushima disaster, based on CDC data. Radioactive iodine, cesium, strontium, plutonium, uranium, and a host of other fission products have been coming directly from Japan to the west coast for 13 months with no sign that it will stop." (Unquote) Comment b y C JOHNEL: If we were looking at radioactive . fallout , from nuclear bombs, that is something we are equipped to handle and the danger of radioactivity would drop rapidly after a week's time or less. Here we are looking at over one hundred nuclear fuel rods in this Japanese nuclear plant that are exposed to the open air that is bleeding nuclear particles into the air and water, particles that will have long lasting effects and can cause a major human disaster. One estimate is that "if" things got out of hand in Japan, the nuclear materials had the potential of killing over half the world 's population I've read enough reports on this Japanese nuclear plant by a variety of scientists, Japanese and American, who all essentially agree to the dangers. Yet the News

The Sleeping Dragon: Fukushima ( C-JOHNEL continued) Media hardly mentions anything about it. Because there is a "News Blackout " on this issue does not mean it is not a potential human catastrophe in the making unless strong action is taken.

My leading is that this Japanese nuclear power plant needs to be buried in concrete and steel as was Chernobyl. The p r oblem the Soviet Union had back in 1986 with Chernobyl was that robotic machinery was destroyed (fried, literally) by the high level of radiation coming from the broken nuclear power plant - the same is true of the Japanese nuclear plant. If you leave a disaster to the government, as in the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, they will use old technology and will fail in coping with the disaster. Normal! Government is neither inventive or original. In the Gulf; people were asked to help find a way to suck oil from the surface of the waters in the Gulf- within a week's time average Americans, most with no oil experience, devised equipment that doubled, tripled and quadrupled the rate at which oil could he cleaned up. It is called `free enterprise" and the American entrepreneurial spirit, which when given a task, can rise to the challenge, engineering equipment that would function in a highly radioactive environment.

THE NEED FOR PRAYER/INTERCESSION: There needs to be a prayer to the ends of getting people to be aware of the trouble and getting government to take positive action which is possible through prayer and intercession ASKING Father GOD to help in this. The new pra y er sheet (enclosed) addresses this issue and need.

Foreign Troops Positioned For Gun Confiscation 3500 Foreign Troops at Fort Harrison, Montana Positioned For Gun Confiscation .

Website: www.stevcquavle.coni. May 30, 2012. "Steve ran into a retired vet friend this weekend, at a store, and we began talking about things going on around us. He knows a friend who is a guard at Ft. Harrison near Helena, Mt. and he explained to me that there are 3,500 troops residing there for training, and the main objective is to go door to door for gun searches. He stated to me that this guard who is on active duty there, at the fort, is not happy about what is planned for the residence of Helena and surrounding areas, that is coming real soon. He said the orders are coming from the higher-ups, and most guards don't like what they are being ordered to do by the administration, and are worried of what is about to happen; and are uncertain of what they are going to do, when this all unfolds..."

THE BEASTMAN'S NEW TAX ACTION - HR-4646 Forwarded message from Cathy Stolz , May 29, 2012. (Quote) ON JANUARY 1, 2013, THE US GOVERNMENT IS REQUIRING EVERYONE TO HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR SS CHECKS. Wonder Why? HR 4646.

Be sure to read entire explanation. . .Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE, in case you think Obama is looking out for the elderly and your best interest.

A I % tax on ALL bank transactions is what HR 4646 calls for. Do you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social Security or a pension fund and have it direct deposit?

Well guess what. ..It looks as if Obama wants to tax it 1%! This bill was put forth by Representative Chaka Fattah (D-PA). Yes, that is 1% tax on all bank transactions — HR 4646, every time it goes in and every time money goes out.

Ask your congressperson to vote NO. Forward this [message] to everyone you know!

I % tax on all bank transactions — HR 4646. Another new Obama tax slipped in while we were asleep. Checked this on Snopes, it's true! Check it out yourself.

President Obama's finance team is recommending a one-percent transaction fee (TAX). Obama's plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar.

This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution; banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your own bank from one account to another, will have a 1% tax charged. ...If your paycheck is $1,000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check in to your bank for a deposit, I % tax will be charged.

You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank. If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.

Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, ifyou make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax..." (Unquote) Comment by C- JOHNEL : At the end of this year, the Bush Tax cuts are due to

expire which will drop a heavy load of new taxes on the poor and middle class as well as small businesses. The effect would be horrific on the average American and now we see this bill in Congress to level a 1 % tax on every transaction we have with our banks. Ah, the , joys of Socialism/Marxism; but we have yet to see the worst.
