"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

My mother passed away on December 31st,1997.
I loved her deeply; now she's simply gone.
All my life I'd known that I was loved,
Living in the circle of her arms.
I can't believe her love is not somewhere,
So strong it was, so much a part of me.
I feel it in the harsh salt of the sea
And in the stinging sadness of the wind.

I ride the waves along the rock-strewn shore.
No one watches me with fear and pride.
Now among the stars I am alone.
In her heart I had my only home.

Hmmmm.

I don't doubt that the puppet masters could have been benind 911 any number of ways.

I still do not believe that W Bush is in on such things.

I could believe his dad would be in cahoots with the puppet masters.

I could even believe Rummy is part of the puppet masters. Though I still like his handling of things so far except for the prison thing.

But I have too many channels of info saying Bush's Christianity is authentic.

I see him as caught in the middle. I think he knows about puppet master stuff but is still trying to do the honorable Christian thing for the country and the world.

These are just my speculations, interpretations of the puzzle pieces I've come across.

And, I BELIEVE GOD HAS MORE UP HIS SLEEVE than all the demons in hell and all the puppet masters and all the ET's put together.

I don't doubt at all that OKC was puppet master stuff, probably involving IRAQ AND AL QAEDA.

I don't see how 911, whether puppet master stuff or not, was necessarily NOT Al Qaeda. I certainly suspect Saddammn to have been part of the puppet masters manipulations--and likely Al Qaeda, too.

But amidst layers and convolutions of dimensions and realities--not to mention disinformation--I think it's rather difficult to assume across the board blame toward anyone BUT the puppet masters and satan himself.

And, I remain unconvinced that W Bush is willingly in cahoots with the puppet masters.

I believe he's been told certain parameters by them that he must behave within on certain issues, situations, etc. or they will take him out. He may be walking some fine lines here and there in order to have SOME flexibility in other areas to do good as long as he can remain alive to do it.

I believe if KOMMIEKERRY OR SHRILLERY et al get in power, the slide to the world government will be exceedingly quicker and more devastating.

I doubt there are going to be a lot of wonderful options between now and The Great Tribulation etc.

The only wonderful option is the one that's always been there--to walk close to God; to learn to hear Christ's voice and follow Him whether to live or die in this time/space dimension.

If anyone is in the Quad cities {my daughter is}

The storms there have been horrific, have had 3" of rain already and can have 3"-4" more and DANGEROUS LIGHTNING, anywhere from 6"-10" total

Strong thunderstorms rumbling across the Midwest
James Wilson, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel

Booming thunderstorms have become severe with localized large hail and damaging wind gusts across parts of the Midwest. Overnight, the cluster of thunderstorms that are rumbling will form into an area of heavy rain that will spread into the Great Lakes. Local flash flooding may become a threat overnight, especially if the heaviest rain sets up over southern Wisconsin and central Lower Michigan and northern Illinois. From 1 to 3 inches of rain fell in these areas Friday night, so additional rain would only run off.

I mostly gave a cursory scan of all that meteor stuff. Sounded sort of plausible on the surface. I run such things by Poohbah. He tends to be very much prone to risking a TYPE II error vs a TYPE I error. Still, I trust his fair-mindedness enough to let him be a check on my more or less chronic 'paranoia' in these end times. He dismisses it all wholesale.

Perhaps he's missing a clue or two or whitewashing overmuch. I don't know. I'd love to have an astronomy sort of person to really lay out briefly why it's all hogwash.

Regardless of whether the weather/meteor etc. stuff is going to go down or not.

Just based on prophetic types of different stripes, I'm convinced there's some heavy stuff headed our way this summer--probably in the next month or 2. I'd certainly expect before the end of July--mid August or so.

What specifically? I don't know. But I expect things to look plenty bleak--at least for the President, if not the nation or more.

Then, I expect God Almighty to show a play or three and turn things dramatically around, though probably not back to 'normal'--whatever normal is in our era.

I sort of expect a major paradigm shift somewhat akin to the magnitude of the one after 9/11--perhaps a greater one. Nobody's "going home" again in our era. "Home" is not there any more and is not going to be ther again in our era.

The closest we can get to "home" again is to Love God wholly and those nearest us deeply, wholesale, persistently while there is opportunity to do so. The end time drama began in some respects when Israel became "a nation in a day" as The Bible predicted. And the drama keeps speeding up the closer we get to The Great Tribulation and Armageddon at the end of it. It's NOT time to be walking around without one's spiritual seat-belt buckled tightly.

We shall see what the level and nature of any summer paradigm change turns out to be. These are just my hunches based on my synthesis of the puzzle pieces I've observed, scanned, pondered.

[Quix]

I think only God can do it within us by His Spirit. But we have to ask Him and cooperate with Him regarding taking each thought captive etc . . . .

We are to avoid worrying.

We are to get to the place of confidently trusting Him in the midst of being on top of the volcano in the midst of a hurricane in the midst of a battlefield.

I'm not there yet. But I'm enormously closer than I've ever been before.

I'm more at peace about more of it than ever before. To live is Christ, to die is gain as Paul said.

None of us are getting out of this alive unless some Rapture scenarios turn out to be true. We have to have our ETERNAL LIFE SECURED IN CHRIST'S SALVATION BY HIS BLOOD REGARDLESS.

As the missionary who's name I'm blocking on said: HE IS NO FOOL WHO GIVES UP WHAT HE CANNOT KEEP (mortal life in this time/space dimension) TO GAIN WHAT HE CANNOT LOSE (eternal Life in Christ--eternally ruling and reigning with Him).

I do know that having one's priorities sorted out will be an increasingly crucial need. In many situations we won't have time to sort them out in the situation. We'll either have to be moment by moment so in tune with Holy Spirit that we can just flow with HIS LEADING as though driving down the freeway blindfolded by His directions--or, we'll have to have decided them well ahead of time. And some situations, we'll not have been able to have conceived of ahead of time and will HAVE to follow Holy Spirit or suffer accordingly.

[Quix]

Kidding or not . . .

There may be times when "eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die" might make SOME sense.

But I don't think we'll know that much about them ahead of time.

And, I think a lot of speculation ahead of time will turn out to be enough askew that one would often realize he'd wasted resources greatly needed otherwise even after whatever event had occurred however modified it turned out to be compared to the ahead-of-time-speculation.

HOWDY GRANNY,

I think there is something to the issue of getting prepared more and more and taking more and more devastating calamities to do so.

I think super prepared will end up mostly extending some HINT of normalcy as long as possible but will play out before the scenarios do. But prepared will also extend flexibility for self and family as well as options to do more for God and The Kingdom.

In any case, more prepared is better than less prepared even when it's hard to know what to do or how to prepare. Some basics are pretty common sense.

[Quix]

Jim Robinson and FR have enough hassles without unnecessarily adding to them. Following his instructions the least we can do for him.

We must do as he requests. It's his party as well as our . . . vital need/service/forum.

We don't have enough resources or time and man power at present to fight such legally.

[Quix]

And Jim takes a very dim view of having much Rense stuff on here at all.

[Quix]

I tend to agree with your perspective a great lot.

[Quix]

I strongly agree.

[Quix]

I'm still very suspicious of it all, too.

[Quix]

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
