NEW ARMY ASSIGNED AMERICAN SOIL?

Note: An update has been posted at the end of the article.

In October of this year, one month prior to the November midterm elections, a special army unit known as 'Consequence Management Response Force' will be ready for deployment on American soil if so ordered by the President.

The special force, which is the new name being given to the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry, has been training at Fort Stewart, Georgia and is composed of 80,000 troops.

According to the Army Times,

They may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack.

The key phrase is 'may be called upon to help with civil unrest.'

This afternoon a local radio talk show host reported that he had been in contact with a member of the military. This military source stated that the armed forces have been alerted to the strong possibility that civil unrest may occur in the United States this summer, prior to the midterm elections of 2010.

The source described this as 'our long, hot summer of discontent' that could be eerily reminiscent of the summer of 1968 when riots broke out in many of our largest cities.

However, the summer of 2010 could well be much worse due to the players involved. In 1968 the major players were war protesters. This time, the outrage simmering beneath the surface of American society involves a broad cross-section of the heartland, and most of them are heavily armed.

It is highly unlikely that these citizens would ever initiate armed conflict of any kind. In their view, gun rights are for self-defense--and for defense against tyrannical government, which our Founders regarded as the most dangerous force on earth.

However, it has become clear that other groups may well initiate violence in order to start an 'incident' that would give Obama and a rogue Congress a reason to implement martial law, confiscate the citizens' guns, enforce curfews, and suspend all future elections until such time as it is deemed 'safe' to proceed with human liberty as encapsulated in the right to vote.

Tea Party members, for example, have been warned in recent days that members of Andy Stern's SEIU union and members of the organization formerly known as ACORN plan to infiltrate Tea Party gatherings in order to incite some sort of incident that could result in armed conflict.

In addition, all indications point to a humiliating defeat for the Democrats and Obama in November. Not only will the House in all likelihood transfer to Republican control, but it is increasingly possible for the Democrats to lose the Senate as well.

And there are Leftwing groups in this country that would use whatever means necessary to prevent that from happening.

ACORN has already gone underground, changing its name so as to fly beneath the radar screen. How many people will the group register to vote illegally?

And with Obama's plan to naturalize between 10 and 20 million illegal aliens, a brand new voter base for the Democrats will be in place prior to November.

Add to this the growing unrest over continued high unemployment, the coming spike in interest rates and inflation, and the still-boiling outrage over the manner in which Obama and the Democrats shoved ObamaCare down the throats of the citizens, and all of the ingredients are present for a major F-5 tornado to sweep across the heartland.

To what extent would soldiers use deadly force during such 'civil unrest' should the Consequence Management Response Team be utilized? During the anti-war riots of the 1960s they killed student protesters. What about now?

The military source cited by the radio host today was asked this very question. He would merely say that the culture of the U.S. military is changing--half support Obama and the other half are dead-set against him.

His conclusion? There is no way to know for sure if they would obey an order to open fire on ordinary citizens.

Update: The Cato Institute published this warning when the program was launched in its first phase in 2008 (the program has been updated and expanded since 2008). The Founders insisted that standing armies were never to be used against American citizens on our own soil, no matter what violations of this principle have occurred in the years following. In the spirit of the Patriots and of real journalists government must be questioned constantly and held to intense scrutiny in order to preserve liberty.

The important Symbolic Peace Treaty

You may find the below article written fully in final copy here: (The important Symbolic Peace Treaty of Dec. 1, 2003.)

I am doing a lot of pondering on this event of the symbolic peace treaty. (See bottom for the news article on this treaty.) I believe it is very important. It is a proto type of the peace treaty to come, and a wake up call to believers. I am also studying it numerically, and it aligns perfectly with the prophecy of Dan. 9:24-27. As the Lord gives me strength, I will talk about the numeric of it later. For it has been given as a scenario ahead of the time for us to learn from---so that it will not take us unawares when it does come---that is, the prophesied seven-year peace treaty and tribulation period. Interestingly, it was signed exactly 3.5 years on the Jewish calendar from when the writing on the wall hand-code was discovered. My Webpage This code is all about God's protective hand against the enemies of Israel when they attack Jerusalem in the last days. Hence, this symbolic peace treaty (that concerns Jerusalem) fits well with the theme of the code.

Moreover, today, as I am writing, is 3.5 years from the same, according to our Gentile calendar (solar) (and tomorrow). Right now they are counting the election results in Russia, and it appears the results will put much more power into the hands of its current president "Putin." Putin has been pushing the "Road Map to Peace" treaty against Israel's wishes, and the Lord has been reminding His saints of the upcoming prophesied Russian invasion of Israel according to Ezekiel 38. Now, perhaps, Putin (or his sudden successor?) will have the power to carry out an evil scheme to attack unsuspecting Israel. Some how all this is coming together, perhaps sooner than we think? The writing is on the wall! Atomic warfare is coming upon Russia and her hoards when they attack Jerusalem (as Israel sits bewitched with false peace), and the nuclear exchange may well spill over into North America too.

The two dates of the symbolic peace treaty are 50 days apart, and are exactly 3.5 years from the 50 days from first fruits to Pentecost---the anniversary of when Israel received God's covenant on Mount Sinai, and was told to keep the commands, and to never make a peace treaty/covenant with the nations within her land. On both counts Israel is transgressing at this peace treaty. Most of all, they have failed to recognize their Messiah, and the bible prophesies that they will instead receive a false Messiah---one like the usurper who is initiating the symbolic treaty against the approval of the proper authorities in Israel.

(Also, the New Covenant that Jesus inaugurated "in His blood" occured on Passover, then He vidicated it by His resurrection 3 days later (Firstfruits), then on Pentecost He fulfilled it in the sense that He wrote the law upon the heart of the disciples by the Spirit, when they were all filled with the Spirit and the Church was born, (Acts 1). Note the pattern: Israel delivered from Egypt on Passover, (+ "3 days sacrifice in the wilderness,") plus the 49/50 days till Pentecost when the covenant of Moses was made in stone. Then, in the same way, Jesus' death and resurrection on Passover and Firstfruits, then the New Covenant confirmed at Pentecost 49/50 days later (the same as at Mount Sinai). Now, 49 x 50 years after the prophecy (detailed next), the same pattern is again repeated, with the (Passover) Firstfruits and Pentecost (up 3.5 years) of the dates of the Geneva Covenant. Coincidence? Impossible!!! ) This is a great sign that God has given! Are we awake! God is saying that the prophetic clock could well have started clicking again with this pattern, but it has been delayed for the sake of mercy.

Those that know prophecy know that the peace treaty is made for seven years according to Dan. 9:24-27, and is broken after 3.5 years. The prophecy refers to 490 years (70 x 7), less a set of 3.5 years (= 7 years). It was in part fulfilled during the 3.5 years of Christ's ministry. The 490 years began at the decree of Artaxeres of Persia to Nehemiah in 445 or 444 BC. This was the decree that allowed Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The 490 is further broken down into 49 + 49 x 9 year units---which is a Jubilee in the bible. The year after the 49th is the jubilee year. It is the same way with the before mentioned feast of Pentecost. It is 49 days (7 weeks) from first fruits with the 50th day being Pentecost. (Pentecost means '50'). Now it happens that from this decree of 444 BC, plus 490 x 5 (which is 49 x 50---jubilee numbers), is Nisan 1 (spring) of 2007. Less the said 3.5 years is now at the peace treaty (which is 50 days apart), so that another 3.5 years ago was the 50 days to Pentecost in AD 2000 (which is also when the hand-code appeared---which has the phrase, "He commanded" written 10 times representing 10 fingers and the 10 commandments written with the finger of God, which was given to Moses on Pentecost.) Moreover, Nisan 1, (thus exactly 490 x 5 (49 x 50) years less the 7 years---to the day from Nisan 1, 444 BC), is 1335 days to the hour to the symbolic peace treaty on Dec. 1, 2003, which is the specified number in Dan. 12. The number 1290 is also mentioned, which ended on Tishri 21, 2003 (the last day of the seven days of Tabernacles), and thus 5 days earlier (on Tishri 16) was the said Peace treaty initially signed there in Jordan, (the land of Esau/Edom). Moreover, Dan. 12 mentions one other 3.5-year time frame (which is understood by many scholars to relates back to the said Dan. 9 prophecy of the 70 weeks (490 years), and this third time period is given as a "time, times, and half-a-time," which is 3.5 years, which, as standard Jewish years, agrees with the said 3.5 years from Pentecost 2000 to the symbolic treaty of 2003, etc. Hence, we have 3 different units of 3.5 years being used, linking the 3 great feast of the bible, including the ancient Nisan (Abib) 1, New Year. And all this links the 50 days between the treaty dates to the 50 x 49 years back to the prophesied decree of Artaxeres to Nehemiah in 444 BC, in fulfillment of Dan. 9. In short, the numeric is flawless, and a telling example of how it will all work when the actual real treaty is signed in the still future. And all this is only a very small part of the numbers, but anything further elaboration may prove overwhelming to those unfamiliar with their bible. (See also the events of 1150 and 1260 days from Pentecost 2000, when the hand-code appeared. Already events are scheduled for 1290 and 1335 days, still future at the time of writing.)

Further note: I wrote that we are moving to Edgar, Ontario. The town was used as an early warning defense radar system base in case of Russian invasion some 40 years ago. Our contract to move in was effective midnight, Nov. 30, 2003, but we are delayed in actually moving until the 20th of December. The move is being used of the Lord to warn of the coming Russian invasion of Israel, and of nuclear exchange some day. (I have an article about that at my website.) It happens that midnight, Nov. 30 was exactly, to the hour, 3.5 years from when the hand-code appeared, and Saturday, Dec. 20th is 1290 days, (Dan. 12). As God is my witness, I planned neither of these dates, but they have come from the Lord as further confirmation that the said 3.5 solar years to the Russian election as significant. The stage is being set in the progressive fulfillment of bible prophecy. The Russian invasion of Israel is coming, and America will not go unscathed. It is time to awake out of slumber and light our lamps and be ready for our Lord's soon return---whether in the first, second, or third watch of the night. This was the meaning of President Bush's sudden trip to Babylon, on Thanksgiving---7 days after his trip to London with the Queen, when an image of him was toppled like that of Saddam's---a type of the image of Dan. 2. This occurred 1260 days (Rev. 11-13) after the hand-code appeared! The writing on the wall of Babylon has come again. The message is simple: The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of Jesus, the Kings of kings. (Saddam's two sons were buried 1150 days after the hand-code appeared, which is the 2300 of Dan. 5.) See website for the same sequence of numbers to the Iraq war, Saddam's sons deaths, the blackout of New York and then 45 days later in Rome---all 1150, 1260, 1290, and 1335 days respectively from when the mene-tekel-code was first given to me back on Feb. 4, 2000. (The hand-code is the companion code to the mene-tekel code, revealed 126 days inclusive later.) Hence, the series of events that follow these biblical numbers is being repeated twice, only this second time with great intensity and precision. These numbers were all written and explained in my "Writing on the Wall" website revealed to me (and called such) before I even heard of such a thing as Bible codes!

7 year Peace Treaty!

Obama, Medvedev sign nuclear arms treaty
April 8: With the Russians on board, White House aides hope to get China to agree to new sanctions against Iran. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
Nightly News


updated 1 hour, 32 minutes ago
PRAGUE - Seeking to end years of rancor, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday signed the biggest nuclear arms pact in a generation and envisioned a day when they can compromise on the divisive issue of missile defense.

The new treaty, the first of its kind in two decades and nearly a year in the making, signaled a bold new opening in relations between the former Cold War foes. Both leaders hoped for more progress on economic matters and potentially even deeper cuts in their robust nuclear arsenals, while the Russian president still warned of potential pitfalls ahead.

The pact will shrink the limit of nuclear warheads to 1,550 per country over seven years. That still allows for mutual destruction several times over. But it is intended to send a strong signal that Russia and the U.S. — which between them own more than 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons — are serious about disarmament.


UPDATE!!!

60 countries are getting involved with this treaty, if Israel does not comply, not only will it be political suicide, it will label them as a rogue/terrorist country, and at the least they will loose U.S. support. They will either have to comply with the demands, or be hated by all nations (Which is prophecy) after this they will comply to some degree due to compromise (Which is Prophecy). See Israel is building their 3rd Temple (Which is prophecy) and Palestine-Gaza, and so forth, feel it is their right, and not Israels, therefor in order to continue construction of this Temple, they will have to cease ceremonies there for a time, as you guessed it this is prophecy! Inevitably, they will set up the temple which will hold the abomination of desolation. And great tyranny will begin, as you can see it is a domino effect well on it's way.

The Euphrates River Dried Up

Revelation 16:12 "The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East".

“Maaku mai!” they shout, holding up their rusty sickles. “There is no water!”
The Euphrates is drying up. Strangled by the water policies of Iraq’s neighbors, Turkey and Syria; a two-year drought; and years of misuse by Iraq and its farmers, the river is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago. Some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now.
The shrinking of the Euphrates, a river so crucial to the birth of civilization that theBook of Revelation prophesiedits drying up as a sign of the end times, has decimated farms along its banks, has left fishermen impoverished and has depleted riverside towns as farmers flee to the cities looking for work.
The poor suffer more acutely, but all strata of society are feeling the effects: sheiks, diplomats and even members of Parliament who retreat to their farms after weeks in Baghdad.
Along the river, rice and wheat fields have turned to baked dirt. Canals have dwindled to shallow streams, and fishing boats sit on dry land. Pumps meant to feed water treatment plants dangle pointlessly over brown puddles.
“The old men say it’s the worst they remember,” said Sayid Diyia, 34, a fisherman in Hindiya, sitting in a riverside cafe full of his idle colleagues. “I’m depending on God’s blessings.”
The drought is widespread in Iraq. The area sown with wheat and barley in the rain-fed north is down roughly 95 percent from the usual, and the date palm and citrus orchards of the east are parched. For two years rainfall has been far below normal, leaving the reservoirs dry, and American officials predict that wheat and barley output will be a little over half of what it was two years ago.
It is a crisis that threatens the roots of Iraq’s identity, not only as the land between two rivers but as a nation that was once the largest exporter of dates in the world, that once supplied German beer with barley and that takes patriotic pride in its expensive Anbar rice.
Now Iraq is importing more and more grain. Farmers along the Euphrates say, with anger and despair, that they may have to abandon Anbar rice for cheaper varieties.
Droughts are not rare in Iraq, though officials say they have been more frequent in recent years. But drought is only part of what is choking the Euphrates and its larger, healthier twin, the Tigris.
The most frequently cited culprits are the Turkish and Syrian governments. Iraq has plenty of water, but it is a downstream country. There are at least seven dams on the Euphrates in Turkey and Syria, according to Iraqi water officials, and with no treaties or agreements, the Iraqi government is reduced to begging its neighbors for water.
At a conference in Baghdad — where participants drank bottled water from Saudi Arabia, a country with a fraction of Iraq’s fresh water — officials spoke of disaster.
“We have a real thirst in Iraq,” said Ali Baban, the minister of planning. “Our agriculture is going to die, our cities are going to wilt, and no state can keep quiet in such a situation.”
Recently, the Water Ministry announced that Turkey had doubled the water flow into the Euphrates, salvaging the planting phase of the rice season in some areas.
That move increased water flow to about 60 percent of its average, just enough to cover half of the irrigation requirements for the summer rice season. Though Turkey has agreed to keep this up and even increase it, there is no commitment binding the country to do so.
With the Euphrates showing few signs of increasing health, bitterness over Iraq’s water threatens to be a source of tension for months or even years to come between Iraq and its neighbors. Many American, Turkish and even Iraqi officials, disregarding the accusations as election-year posturing, say the real problem lies in Iraq’s own deplorable water management policies.
“There used to be water everywhere,” said Abduredha Joda, 40, sitting in his reed hut on a dry, rocky plot of land outside Karbala. Mr. Joda, who describes his dire circumstances with a tired smile, grew up near Basra but fled to Baghdad when Saddam Hussein drained the great marshes of southern Iraq in retaliation for the 1991 Shiite uprising. He came to Karbala in 2004 to fish and raise water buffaloes in the lush wetlands there that remind him of his home.
“This year it’s just a desert,” he said.
Along the river, there is no shortage of resentment at the Turks and Syrians. But there is also resentment at the Americans, Kurds, Iranians and the Iraqi government, all of whom are blamed. Scarcity makes foes of everyone.
The Sunni areas upriver seem to have enough water, Mr. Joda observed, a comment heavy with implication.
Officials say nothing will improve if Iraq does not seriously address its own water policies and its history of flawed water management. Leaky canals and wasteful irrigation practices squander the water, and poor drainage leaves fields so salty from evaporated water that women and children dredge huge white mounds from sitting pools of runoff.
On a scorching morning in Diwaniya, Bashia Mohammed, 60, was working in a drainage pool by the highway gathering salt, her family’s only source of income now that its rice farm has dried up. But the dead farm was not the real crisis.
“There’s no water in the river that we drink from,” she said, referring to a channel that flows from the Euphrates. “It’s now totally dry, and it contains sewage water. They dig wells but sometimes the water just cuts out and we have to drink from the river. All my kids are sick because of the water.”
In the southeast, where the Euphrates nears the end of its 1,730-mile journey and mingles with the less salty waters of the Tigris before emptying into the Persian Gulf, the situation is grave. The marshes there that were intentionally reflooded in 2003, rescuing the ancient culture of the marsh Arabs, are drying up again. Sheep graze on land in the middle of the river.
The farmers, reed gatherers and buffalo herders keep working, but they say they cannot continue if the water stays like this.
“Next winter will be the final chance,” said Hashem Hilead Shehi, a 73-year-old farmer who lives in a bone-dry village west of the marshes. “If we are not able to plant, then all of the families will leave.”
