What You Are Not Hearing On The News

Americans are uncertain what to think. Since the events following September 11, many citizens have remained glued to the major new networks, wondering what will happen next. It seems the greatest concern is a chemical or biological attack in a major city, such as New York or Washington.

In days past, most American’s would have ignored any warning of such an assault.  Now, all American’s are concerned about the possibilities. Should there be a concern that such a terrorist attack is possible?

If one listens to all the talking heads on the news channels, the facts and possibilities are confusing. One person states, “America is ready for a biological and chemical attack”, while another despairingly comments, “America is in no way ready for such an attack”. Another specialist believes the substances for such a terrible assault are already in the hands of a few in the nation, while another says he in no way believes the “sleepers” in America have such abilities.

Others have stated they do not believe Osama bin Laden has any ability to produce such materials.

Recently on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson obtained a series of satellite pictures showing the inside of Afghanistan. Not far from the border of Pakistan, a close-up of terrorist camps revealed a mound with a smoke stack. Not far from the smoke stack was a building. The specialist reading the satellite map indicated the area of the smoke stack appeared to be similar to a place where chemical and biological substances were being made and the other building was where they were being tested on animals.  The moment this statement was made, the television screen went blank and a sign came on stating that the video feed was interrupted.  The 700 Club stayed off the air until the program was over, then oddly, the regular programming returned without interruption. I immediately thought that someone interrupted the satellite feed due to information that was being released. At this point, I have not heard of one secular media agency that had reported anything related to chemical or biological possibilities connected to the training camps in Afghanistan.

I received a call that a “gag order” was placed on all persons working in high positions inside the Federal Government Agencies. There are things that have happened and things that have been planned of, which high positioned federal workers are not to speak about to anyone, not even their closest family members.

I can certainly understand the silence.  First of all, the government must separate fact from rumor.  Often the media hypes up a possible situation and could create panic and fear in the hearts of viewers.

No doubt these are the “perilous times” warned of in scriptures.  Our personal faith must be strong and we must seize the opportunity to minister to those near us, who are fearful of the future. I have often said, “You cannot threaten a Christian with dying and going to heaven.” As Paul said, “To live is Christ but to die is gain.”

These are exciting times!

What in my post prompts you to say I have my head stuck in the sand? I read Post#21 as you recommended and have to say if you have become alarmed at the prospect of the holy warriors using bio-chemical weapons, I recommend that you need to heighten your general awareness of the world around you because this stuff is old news.

That having been said, there's still a lot of stuff the public, myself included don't need to know about when it comes to this or any war.

Our lives are very brief and your laughter will end at death, but then comes judgement and eternity.
Good luck.

Actually Jim, according to the Hindus, if I'm lucky, I get to come back as a cow, just hope I get born in India, if I get born in America, I'll have to do it all over again really quick!!

Just hope that I am an award winning Bull I guess!!! LOL

And according to Islam, if I go and kill myself in some godawful way, I will go to allah and have 72 virgins that will see to my every need, and have sex ALL the time.. I myself think that is a little farfetched but what the hey. They think they're right...

And then you Christians of course believe that you will go to heaven and forever more sit up there and sing your praises to god, but that sounds really farfetched as well, and besides it sounds REALLY, REALLY BORING!!!

Geez, just so much to choose, decisions, decisions!!! Maybe I ought cover all my bases and join them all!! LOL but that might be a little much, geez 5 times a day to Mecca, 3 hours for meditation, sacrifices to the gods, and church on Saturday and then that day would be shot, Wednesday, man that takes out 2 days, and Sunday, man, that makes 3 days out of the week just gone, geez, when would I have time to work? Oh and I forgot the evening bible study, and the mormon temple time.

Man, I wouldn't have any time left for me, but hey, I'd be guaranteed a spot somewhere!!

If you are a seeker of the truth, you could start by visiting the tombs of each of their leaders.

Nice Map

Actually Jim, according to the Hindus, if I'm lucky, I get to come back as a cow,

...trouble is: There's no evidence that any cows were once human (or visa-versa.)
The Christians have many infallible proofs that Christ came back from the dead after 3 days.

Maybe I ought cover all my bases and join them all!!

There's a way that seems right unto a man like you but the end is death - eternal death. A house divided against itself will not stand. You can't serve two masters.

Keep searching. As long as you can type, there's still hope.

I hate world maps that leave out the Antarctic. We don't know about the possibility of terrorists in the Antarctic!

Could that part of the map been:

CENSORED?

Things that make you say, "Hmmmm....."

So I assume that you understand that the heart is deceitful of all things - and desperately wicked.

Faith is a cool gift, isn't it?

...stupid me:

"Doomsday Plan" hmmmm.....several scenarios come to mind. What are your thoughts, people?

[Aric2000]

...trouble is: There's no evidence that any cows were once human (or visa-versa.) The Christians have many infallible proofs that Christ came back from the dead after 3 days.

In all actuality, the only ones with infallible proof are the christians, the Jews have no proof that that occurred, that is why he is a prophet to them and not the messiah, and according to Islam he was a prophet as well, but they do not believe that he rose from the dead either.

I would love to see your infallible proofs If you could do that then I might even believe it. But the fact is, you are going to start quoting the bible, and until you can come up with something else to back up your infallible proofs besides your bible, then I guess I'm right back where I started...
