It looks like the world is moving toward regional unions. I read about plans for this in the Club of Rome's book on "Re-shaping the International Order" (RIO) in the late 1970s. The Fabians have had similar plans for decades.
The thing is, 1. who will lead this attempt at world governance? And 2. will such unions actually survive? What 3. will happen to the Anglo-Saxon Powers?:
1. According to the prophecies it will be a German-led Europe and recent surveys show that people are looking to it as an alternative to the USA. When they speak with a single voice with a President, Foreign Minister and embassies in 2009/10, the EU will be taken very seriously. The world will cry 'peace and safety' once the EU forces its will upon the world and the Anglo-Saxons will disarm thinking that we will have 'peace in our time.' (I explained this in the 2 books I have published). I might add that Gene Hogberg's prediction in the late 1970s that the UNO will move to Europe (and probably Austria) is still on the cards.
2. I still recall a letter from Robert Boraker in 1977 wherein he mentioned that the closer we get to world governance the greater the tensions will be because of racial/religious/political differences. The gentile nations will tend toward fascism while the Israelites will want to mantain liberalism. So, the prophecies show the Anglo-Saxon nations being invaded and enslaved in the greatest double-cross in world history. Mexico will join with the German-led Europeans in invading the USA.
3. "Among all her lovers there is none to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies." (Lam 1:2).
"You adulterous wife! You prefer strangers to your own husband! Every prostitute receives a fee, but you give gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors." (Eze 16:32,33)
Australia is likewise being pushed toward Asianisation. As such, the House of Israel is being so weakened that we will not be able to resist the future conquests that are prophesied.

On June 14, 2007 BankIntroductions.com told their clients that in the next 10-20 years, as the global economy moves toward regional trading blocs, the amero or "North American Monetary Unit" (NAMU) will be introduced. The power elite's plan is to form regional unions with their own currencies and then link them into a world government with one global currency. Relevant to this, Reuters reporter Emmanuel Jarry on October 23, 2007 wrote "Sarkozy (French President) Calls for Mediterranean Union Launch in 2008." And the African Union's African Central Bank plans to mint the "Gold Mandela" as a single African currency by 2010 (the date the NAU is supposed to form).If you look at the top of the website for the Single Global Currency Association (SGCA), there is a quote by former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, saying: "A global economy requires a global currency." The SGCA "is dedicated to the goal of implementing a single global currency by 2025...managed by a single international central bank." I have already indicated that on the cover of THE ECONOMIST (June 9, 1988) is a picture of "The Phoenix," a global currency suggested for implementation in 2018.

A super-German state about to emerge?
I feel that it is likely that the possible breakup of Belgium into 2 or 3 parts based along ethnic lines, will herald an eventual similar redrawing of the map of the EU. For example, Austria, 2/3 of Switzerland, Alsace in France, Tyrol region of northern Italy, the Lux and pockets in Denmark and Poland are German - these may come together into a super-German state. Other areas of the EU would also reform themselves along ethnic lines.Something to watch ...

Accession PlansBRUSSELS/EUPEN/DUESSELDORF/BERLIN (Own report) -
The ongoing current government crisis in Brussels is provoking discussions of secession projects in Belgium's Germanophonic eastern cantons. If the two large regions in Belgium, Flanders and Wallonia, really separate, why should the Eupen and St. Vith region not reorient itself - is a question being raised among the 70.000 Germanophones in eastern Belgium, who are also discussing their region's possible accession to Luxemburg or Germany. Intensive preparations by Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia, in close cooperation with the Germanophonic administration in eastern Belgium, point toward the German option.
The two regions initiated new forms of cooperation last summer. Flemish separatism is at the root of Belgium's current government crisis and could, eventually, lead to a breakup of the country. In the past, Flemish separatism was strongly influenced by an anti-French alliance with a westward spreading German hegemonic policy. Berlin's objective was always to roll back French influence on its western neighbor.more http://www.german-foreign-policy.com/en/fulltext/56118

Is the ECB trying to destroy the USD?
The ECB website is www.ecb.int/home/html/index.en.html
The article below appeared in the Golden Eagle website.
ECB Breaks US Dollar's Neck
Yesterday, December 6, 2007, the ECB's Trichet announced that, while currently holding steady at 4.00 percent, he is willing to raise the euro's equivalent of the US federal funds rate in a heartbeat if euro-zone price inflation continues to rise next year.
EU zone inflation is widely expected to reach 2.5 percent next year, well above the ECB's tolerance level of around 2.00 percent.
The past eight years since the introduction of the euro have shown that the ECB is usually good for its word. What its president says it will do mostly turns out to be what it eventually does.
While the ECB is still a central bank and therefore not very far removed from the institution's in-bred bias toward market manipulation, it plays an entirely different game than the US Fed does. It was set up that way. The entire euro scheme was set up in that fashion, and this latest announcement from Trichet proves the point.
At a time when the global financial world is reeling from the US generated credit crunch, when most currencies are competing with the greenback as to who can fall faster, and after the Fed already saw itself constrained to drop its interest rate-trousers by a half percent in September and another quarter in October, the ECB has the audacity to announce its bias toward raising its repo rate.
How can it do that?
For one, the euro has a much easier position to start out with than the dollar has.
The EU's common currency does not have to strain under the weight of gold-adversity as the dollar does. In the US, any remnants of public memory that gold was once a currency and is still the world's best safe haven bet had to be carefully stamped out.
The euro, on the other hand is rather buoyed by appreciations in the gold price because the ECB revalues its gold reserves quarterly at then-current market prices - while the USD hangs on to a useless and outdated $42 per ounce "official gold price".
The euro also started out with a clean slate. It had no trade deficit worth mentioning with any country, much less the world. The dollar does, and its deficit is burgeoning beyond any prudent measure.
CFR-driven "globalization" efforts have caused the US to grant China "most favored nation" status, which has led to the wholesale export of US jobs and manufacturing capacity to that country. That, in turn, made Americans dependent on cheap imports from China. This has helped US price inflation somewhat, but has also caused a huge trade deficit to build up. The enormous holding of US treasuries by Asian exporters and China are hanging over the dollar's head like the proverbial Damocles' sword.
US consumers quickly became the globalized world's economic engine. The world got rich on the backs of America's profligate consumption habits.
In order to keep Americans spending, the US business cycle has been, and continues to be, constantly stoked by below-market interest rates. That fulfilled two functions: It kept the US economic engine humming while keeping Americans far removed from any ideas of saving some of their income rather than spending it all, and then some. A prolonged period of low interest rates made saving unprofitable, even "uncool". Spending and investing in overblown stocks was way cooler.
Then came the real estate bubble. Rising home prices fueled the refi boom and gave Americans a way to hock their homes in order to fund future consumption.
After 9-11, the Fed dropped the federal funds rate in several consecutive emergency rate cuts all the way down to the one percent mark, where it stayed for a considerable period of time. The ECB had the luxury of following the US Fed's rate down only slowly and haltingly while the Fed cranked the monetary inflation machine for all it was worth.
When the Fed began raising rates again in 2003, the ECB simply followed behind, slowly, carefully – prudently - allowing the Fed to pull the brakes hard after previously flooring the gas pedal, giving the US housing market a bad case of whiplash.
With Trichet's announcement of yesterday, the ECB has now suddenly and unexpectedly yanked the Fed's chain – nearly ripping its head off. The dollar's free-fall had to end somewhere, and the tact that the dollar was standing on the hangman's platform with a noose around its neck made the extent of the fall somewhat predictable. It would fall until it reached the end of its rope.
That rope was temporarily let out just a bit longer back in early 2005 when the dollar began its two-year bounce. The euro wasn't ready, yet. Its economy could not yet digest a USD exchange rate of 1.40. Too many EU exporters were still dependent on the US consumer - but that has now changed.
Whereas previously the ECB simply stood pat on many occasions as the Fed went through its wild gyrations, proving itself to be a stalwart of caution and deliberation in the eyes of the world, it has now signaled that it will move in opposition to the Fed.
This latest ECB signal is about to become the dollar's death-knell.
If the ECB really does hike its repo rate next year while the US Fed is condemned to flood its own economy with liquidity in order to (temporarily) stave off a total credit collapse and deflationary recession, the dollar is simply doomed.
The Saudi's have already gone off their dollar-peg, and so have a number of other oil producing countries. They can't afford that peg any longer because following the Fed's inflationary policies will cause them to suffer the same kind of inflation – and they simply don't see a point in that futile exercise.
Without the dollar peg, there no longer is much of a reason to accept only dollars for oil. Their ruminations on the subject have recently been broadcast to the world when a microphone to the press room was conveniently left open during a "private" session of OPEC ministers. It's no secret anymore. It's been all over the news.
On top of that, Iran just announced that it has finally severed all ties to the dollar and will no longer accept any dollars for its oil, from anyone. Coincidence? I think not.
The 'Coup de Grace'
With its move, the ECB has demonstrated to the world that the euro is a far safer bet as a world reserve currency than the dollar has ever been since it decoupled from gold in 1971. That makes the euro the top choice of currencies likely to be taken in trade for oil by the world's oil exporters.
No dollar-demand by oil importers means that fully one half of the world's dollar supply - the half that is currently floating outside the US economy - will come "home."
Those dollars will not be welcome.
Oh well, at least Bernanke won't need to worry about there not being enough liquidity in the US economy to stave off the coming deflationary depression. He may not have to crank up his proverbial cash-helicopter, after all.
Remember, through all of this, that the euro is not gold-adverse.
It would be wise to take that into consideration when figuring our how high the fiat-price of gold will go in the future.
What can the United States government do to deflect the worst effects of this development?
It can repeal all capital gains an income taxes on the dollar-appreciation of gold circulated as money. Since the current US government would rather drive a stake through its own heart (if it had one) than do anything of the sort, there is only one thing left for Americans to do in order to avert this certain catastrophe: Elect Ron Paul president in 2008.

The end of America!
NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA'
Sun Nov 25 2007 20:40:15 ET
*Exclusive*
"America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course," declares Pat Buchanan. "For we are on a path to national suicide."
The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OF RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREED ARE TEARING AMERICA APART.
This time, Buchanan goes all the way: "America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive." The U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet America’s global commitments. The dollar has sunk to historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments. U.S. manufacturing is being hollowed out. The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the Southwest to Mexico.The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class.
A fiscal crisis looms as the unfunded mandates of Social Security and Medicare remain unaddressed. All these crises are hitting America at once -- a perfect storm of crises. Specifically, Buchanan contends:
• Pax Americana, the era of U.S. global dominance, is over. A struggle for global hegemony has begun among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam
• Bush’s invasion of Iraq was a product of hubris and of ideology, a secular religion of “democratism,” to which Bush was converted in the days following 9/11
• Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines.
• The greatest threat to U.S. sovereignty and independence is the scheme of a global elite to erase America’s borders and merge the USA, Mexico and Canada into a North American Union.
• Free trade is shipping jobs, factories and technology to China and plunging America into permanent dependency and unpayable debt. One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush
• “Sovereign Wealth Funds,” controlled by foreign regimes and stuffed with trillions of dollars from U.S. trade deficits, are buying up strategic corporate assets vital to America’s security
• As U.S. wages are stagnant, corporate CEOs are raking in rising pay and benefits 400 to 500 times that of their workers
• The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to our survival as one nation than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq* European-Americans, 89% of the nation when JFK took the oath, are now 66% and sinking. Before 2050, America is a Third World nation
• By 2060, America will add 167 million people and 105 million immigrants will be here, triple the 37 million today.
• Hispanics will be over 100 million in 2050 and concentrated in a Southwest most Mexicans believe belongs to them
Buchanan’s Recommendations:
• A new foreign-defense policy that closes most of the 1000 bases overseas, reviews all alliances, and brings home U.S. troops
• A purge of neoconservative ideology and the “Cakewalk” crowd” from national power.
• To avert a second Cold War, the United States should “get out of Russia’s space and get out of Russia’s face,” and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union
• To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
• To end the trade deficits and save the dollar, Buchanan urges a Hamiltonian solution: a 20% Border Equity Tax on imports, with the $500 billion raised to be used to end taxation on American producers
• To prevent America becoming “a tangle of squabbling nationalities” Buchanan urges: No amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens; a border fence from San Diego to Brownsville; Congressional declarations that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens and English is the language of the United States; and a “timeout” on all immigration.

Chinese vs EU economy: there is no contest!
The EU is still the one to watch - it is 1/3 of the entire world's economy! China was 8%, but now seems to be much smaller! So much for the globalist propaganda ...______________________

Economic Juggernaut Of China Just A Mirage?
For the last few years, analysts have warned that China's growing economic power would threaten America's leadership position on trade and and the global economy. Two days ago, in a mostly overlooked Financial Times report, an American economist threw a healthy dose of cold water on such speculation. The tea leaves, Albert Keidel insists, show an economy barely over half of what most analysts assumed in China:
China's economy is 40 percent smaller than most recent estimates, a US economist said Wednesday, citing data from the Asian Development Bank and guidelines from the World Bank.
Albert Keidel, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former US Treasury official and World Bank economist, made the comments in a report published by the US think tank and in a commentary in the Financial Times.
Keidel told AFP he made the calculations based on a recent ADB report that made its first analysis of China's economy based on so-called purchasing power parity (PPP), which strips out the impact of exchange rates.
"The results tell us that when the World Bank announces its expected PPP data revisions later this year, China's economy will turn out to be 40 percent smaller than previously stated," Keidel wrote.
"This more accurate picture of China clarifies why Beijing concentrates so heavily on domestic priorities such as growth, public investment, pollution control and poverty reduction."
Poverty has been sharply underestimated, hidden by the vagaries of the exchange rates in play. Instead of 100 million Chinese living below the dollar-a-day poverty line, that number moves to 300 million -- the rough equivalent of the entire US population. And while China's economy has begun to move past Japan's as the largest in the Pacific Rim, it will take two decades longer than expected for them to challenge the US for global economic leadership.
Keidel notes that the efforts to move people out of poverty in China and India -- which Keidel also re-evaluates in this report -- was much larger than first thought, and the progress made has not been as impressive as assumed. China has moved perhaps 40% of the poor as defined by the World Bank to a better standard of living over the last twenty years, but not the two-thirds most economists had assumed. Because of this, the Chinese priorities for economic development make more sense, as does its monetary policy, to which the US regularly objects.

What's Ahead for America?
A commentary by John Ross SchroederGood News magazine senior writer, United Kingdom
Sensing a weakness of will, adversarial nations appear to be ganging up on the United States. Is America on its way to becoming a second-rate power?
Russia 's President Vladimir Putin recently travelled to the capital of Iran to conclude a pact with five countries bordering the Caspian Sea, stipulating that no other country be allowed to interfere militarily or politically in the affairs of this Caspian bloc of nations. Some observers understand this pact as a warning to the United States not to carry out any military action against Iran.
Iranian President Ahmadinejad has been invited to Moscow for further talks. Only a short time ago he was allowed to vent his anger against America inside our own borders, perhaps chiefly because the United Nations (UN) headquarters is located in New York City. As US News and World Report Editor-in-chief Mortimer Zuckerman observed, "Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came to America to stick his thumb in our eye and deliver a sanitized version of 'Death to America and the Holocaust Never Occurred'" (October 8, emphasis added throughout).
Naturally, both Russia and Iran oppose the eastward movement of NATO. Iran is counting on Russia and China to oppose any proposed future sanctions against Iran by the UN Security Council. According to the Financial Times, "Russia and China have resisted every attempt to agree to a UN sanctions resolution for six months and may never agree to anything that bites" (October 27).
Further, The Guardian (London) tells us that a resurgent Sino-Russian political embrace is already well under way (October 12). " Moscow and Beijing are closer now than in the Communist period…They have frustrated Western hopes for sanctions or other tough action on disputes ranging from Burma and Darfur to Iran. They are blocking a solution on Kosovo." Russian-American tensions are clearly on the rise, alarmingly so.
We've looked briefly at the international front. Now consider some of what is happening on the American domestic scene and how it is viewed from abroad.
Alan M. Webber is founding editor of business magazine, Fast Company. On a recent business trip to Europe he heard some disturbing thoughts about the United States. At one gathering in Austria the observations came in the form of laments. "You used to be such a great country…What happened to the great idea that once defined America?"
Now consider Mr. Webber's comment on America, viewing the country from afar: "You realize how far the United States has drifted from its promise, how large the gap is between what we profess and what we do...how diminished our economic superiority has become; and how worn our once impeccable image has become."
The dollar is currently viewed as a second-rate currency in Europe. The euro is looked at as towering over the once vaunted American dollar. Alan Webber asks: "Is there a point where diminished prestige actually becomes diminished economic leadership?"
Summing up he concluded: "In America, it's business as usual. We've simply learned to accept our way of life, rather than confronting the reality of our decline. Maybe that's what happens to once-rich, once-powerful superpowers as they gradually decline. They lose track of their own standards" (USA Today, October 19).
Most disturbing today is the stubborn persistence of our moral problems: abortion, pornography, adultery, male and female homosexuality and out-of-control national and personal debt—to name just a few. In response to the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech, one correspondent wrote to a major American newsweekly: "Why does it perplex us when these violent eruptions take place? One needs only to channel surf the television any night of the week to see show after show dealing with murder, rape, stalkers, violence toward police, gangs, war and domestic violence."
We don't seem to want the Ten Commandments in our schools or in our public buildings. We break all ten of them in ways we don't even realize anymore. Yet they provide the crucial key to a much needed moral awakening. Summing up God's spiritual laws as revealed in the Bible, they reflect proper love and respect for both God and neighbour.
While you and I cannot change the world, Jesus Christ does tell us that being a light to the world is important (Matthew 5:14-16). To be a proper example each of us needs to apply the moral values embodied in the Ten Commandments. We also need an understanding of what biblical prophecy reveals about the moral decline of the United States and other Western nations and the results we can expect from it.

The EU's war against US companies!
European ImperialismOctober 31, 2007; Page A20
Microsoft waved the white flag this month by dropping all appeals of the European Union's 2004 ruling against the software giant. The episode shows that Europe now writes the rules for global business across the board -- unapologetically to the benefit of its own industry. American companies are learning they have little choice but to obey.
...
The result is a quiet but concerted war on non-European commerce, and especially on U.S. companies. Antitrust policy in Brussels is a battlefield, particularly for high-tech firms. Mario Monti, the former EU competition czar who issued the ruling against Microsoft's software "bundling," told an Italian newspaper last month that putting such U.S. giants in their place was "the true strength of a united Europe." His successor, Neelie Kroes, celebrated a court decision upholding that decision by musing about how low she'd like Microsoft's market share to fall. Next in her sights are Intel, Qualcomm, Apple and Google, among others.
...
The larger theme here is that unelected officials in Brussels, and protectionist politicians in EU capitals, are using their regulatory power as a tool of economic nationalism. Under the cover of some nice-sounding social goals, they are harming U.S. companies and reducing commercial freedom. This is a growing threat to U.S. prosperity, and American politicians and regulators had better wake up to it.

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has reiterated his plan to set up a Mediterranean Union, a loose grouping of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, in 2008 -- a move that is likely to raise eyebrows in some parts of Europe.
"I invite all the heads of state and government of countries bordering the Mediterranean to meet in France in June 2008 to lay the foundations of a political, economic and cultural union founded on the principles of strict equality", Mr Sarkozy said during his visit to Morocco on Tuesday (23 October).
He added that "in the Mediterranean will be decided whether or not civilisations and religions will wage the most terrible of wars...whether or not the North and the South will clash".

Russia moves toward Fascism
As Russia moves toward fascism, it is adopting very old symbols (greatly at odds with communist symbols). I still think that, at some time in the future, a fascist European Empire and Russia will cooperate very closely against the West, before they have their own falling out. Any way, check out this article:The holidays and symbols of the new Russian state
Excerpts from a RIA Novosti online conference with Georgy Vilinbakhov, State Heraldry Master of the Russian Federation:
Question: Who established the Russian state awards?
Answer: The Order of St. Andrew the First Called - Russia's first award - was established by Peter the Great. Russia also owes the appearance of its medals to him.
Q: What are Russia's national symbols?
A: We have the national anthem, flag and coat-of-arms. Every country has a verbal designation - that is, its name; a symbolic one - the flag and coat-of-arms; and a musical one - the anthem. These symbols occasionally go together, but it is more correct to use each independently.

Ruthless Russia

It was but all a dream to ever believe Russia would be benign and peaceful under Putin. Deplorably, numerous people in strategic posts misjudged Russia.Today the Kremlin is on the offensive. It has positioned military and ex-security service personal in charge of Russian industry and all key governmental posts.
It is liquidating its adversaries even across international borders, has gagged the media, suppressed civil liberties, harassed foreign diplomats, intimidated businessmen and NGOs, it's threatened to target Europe with ABM missiles, it carried out intense cyber attacks against its neighbor, Estonia and it's using pipeline power to shake down its near abroad and wrest the rest of Europe into line.
As if that weren't enough, an even more sinister development has arisen.Putin has created a very sophisticated youth movement made up of over 100,000 volunteers called "Nashi", much like a clone of the Nazi youth movement. It is a well-equipped, fanatical, nationalistic private army that is hostile to foreigners and to any political group opposing the Kremlin leadership. Their aggressive behavior is not only tolerated by the authorities but also even encouraged. They help re-enforce local police; wearing black attire, they aggressively beat anyone they consider hooligans or insurrectionist.They have been taught to believe that the United States is actively preparing a pro-western revolution in their country and that they will thwart it.

Does the throne of David exist today on earth?
(NB: This article summarised the truth about the British Royal Throne so well, that it has been reproduced here in full)
Does the throne of David exist today on earth? If so, where can it be found?
The throne of David does exist on earth. To show where it is located today, let us consider the following facts:
(1) We are told that the scepter--a symbol of kingship, compare the margin in the New King James Bible--was given to Judah.
Genesis 49:10: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah... Until Shiloh [the Messiah, Jesus Christ] comes."
(2) We are told that David's "seed" or descendants would rule or have dominion over Israel. This could be fulfilled in ANY of the tribes of "Israel"--the name given to Jacob by God (Compare Genesis 32:28; 35:10). We are specifically told that God would establish the throne of David's kingdom forever over Israel, in his son Solomon.
2 Samuel 7:12-13: "...I will set up your [David's] seed after you, who will come from your body... and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever."
2 Chronicles 13:5: "...the LORD God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons..."
Psalm 89:4: "Your seed [David's seed] I will establish forever, And build up your throne to all generations."
(3) When Christ returns, He will take over and sit down on an existing throne of David, here on earth (compare Luke 1:32).
(4) Until the last King of Judah, Zedekiah, the descendants of David ruled as kings over the house of Judah. The house of Judah consisted of the tribes of Judah, Levi and a part of Benjamin--they are the "Jews" and called "Jews" in the Bible.
(5) But the Babylonians killed all the sons of Zedekiah, and placed Zedekiah into captivity. There has never arisen since then a descendant of David to rule as king over the house of Judah, the Jews. Today, the state of Israel is not ruled by a king. Where, then, is the throne of David today? In which country do we find a descendant of David ruling as king?
(6) The prophet Jeremiah lived at the time when the Babylonians enslaved the house of Judah, and when the last king of the house of Judah, King Zedekiah, was captured. God gave Jeremiah the commission to uproot the throne of David, but also to plant it.
Jeremiah 1:10: "I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant."
(7) God gave Jeremiah a prophecy regarding the kingship or throne of David, which was to be transferred from the nation or house of Judah to the house of Israel. [The house of Israel, the "Northern Kingdom," consisted of descendants from the other sons of Israel or Jacob, including Joseph and his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. It had been taken into captivity by the Assyrians more than 100 years prior to Jeremiah. They never returned to the Promised Land and have become known as the "Lost Ten Tribes."]
Jeremiah 33:17, 21, 26: "David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel... he shall [always] have a son to reign on his throne... [David's] descendants [will be] rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
Jeremiah was to be instrumental in uprooting the throne over the house of Judah, and to plant it over the house of Israel. Before, it was said that David's descendants were to rule over Israel [or Jacob; that is, ANY of the descendants of Jacob]. That INCLUDED the house of Judah, of course. But from the time of Jeremiah's prophecy, David's descendants were to rule over the HOUSE of Israel--which EXCLUDED the house of Judah.
Jeremiah "uprooted" the throne of David over the house of Judah by bringing the last remaining descendants of King Zedekiah--his DAUGHTERS[compare Jeremiah 43:6]--to IRELAND [where some of the "lost tribes" of the house of Israel had settled. For proof that the people of England, Scotland and Ireland are in fact descendants of the ancient house of Israel, please read our free booklet, "The Fall and Rise of Britain and America."]
According to historical records of Ireland, one daughter, Tea, married the Irish king--who was a descendant of Judah, but not of David. In this way, through the son of the king and the daughter of Zedekiah, Jeremiah "planted" the throne of David and the scepter of Judah over a tribe of the house of ISRAEL--in Ireland. The historical records confirm that subsequent kings of Ireland KNEW that they were descendants of King David.
Zedekiah's other daughter, Scota, married into a noble family and gave the name Scotland to the land where they settled.
(8) The throne of David was to be transferred three times, before Christ would return to occupy it.
Ezekiel 21:27: "Overthrown, overthrown, I will make it [the crown, compare verse 26] overthrown!"
The crown or throne of David was overthrown first in Judah and transferred to or planted in Ireland.
(9) The throne or rule of David's descendants was later overthrown in Ireland and transferred to Scotland [where some of the tribes of the house of Israel had settled]. It was transferred to the royal house of the descendants of David in Scotland--to the offspring of Scota, the other daughter of Zedekiah.
(10) Thirdly, it was overthrown in Scotland and transferred to England, where the Stewart line of David had settled around 1600, in the person of James I. Also, descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, had settled there. The subsequent royal rulers in England all descended from King David, and so the throne of David is today in England. Queen Elizabeth sits on that throne, and Prince Charles' firstborn son is expected to sit on it soon.
Nowhere else could the existing throne of David be today, but in England. It is not in the state of Israel [which is part of the house of Judah], and it is not vacant, either. Jesus Christ will occupy it when He returns (Compare Luke 1:32; Isaiah 9:6-7); He has not occupied it so far. And it is a throne here on earth--not somewhere in heaven. Christ, from the house of Judah, will come back to this EARTH, and it says that He will then SIT on the throne of His father David, here on earth. Jesus will once again establish rule over Israel in Jerusalem (Compare Zechariah 1:17; 2:12). Remember, the scepter would not depart from Judah.

America Wake Up! Europe Wants to Be a Superpower
By Soeren Kern
European Union leaders have reached agreement on a new treaty that many Europeans hope will transform the 27-nation bloc into a superpower capable of counter-balancing the United States in global affairs.
The 250-plus page Reform Treaty, which EU leaders will formally sign in Lisbon on December 13, calls for a permanent EU president, a European foreign minister and a European Union diplomatic service. The agreement also calls for EU nations to surrender sovereignty in many areas to centralized decision-making; and it reduces national veto rights to allow more decisions to be made by majority voting instead of by unanimous consent.
If the treaty is ratified by all 27 governments, it will take effect in January 2009.
But can Europe become a superpower? And should Americans care? No and yes.
For Europeans, multilateralism is all about neutering American hard power, not about solving international problems. It is about Lilliputians tying down Gulliver.
Europeans may understand even better than do many Americans just how much is at stake in the upcoming US presidential election.
European elites are pushing the EU in a direction that should be deeply disconcerting to Americans concerned about international security and stability. The Reform Treaty will make Europe more centralized and far less democratic than it already is. In practice, this means that many foreign policy decisions that directly affect the United States, ranging from economics and trade to transatlantic cooperation on Islamic counter-terrorism, increasingly will be made by unelected anti-American bureaucrats in Brussels rather than by national governments.
Europeans claim they are American allies, but increasingly their conduct says they are rivals. Americans should take another look and see if further European integration is really in the US interest. At the very least, Washington should send an unambiguous message to free-riding Europeans: future attempts at anti-American coalition building will be very costly. International security depends on it.

The EU, not the USA, is supported by the world
A survey of public opinion in 52 countries released today shows the EU is the only great power in the world whose leadership is widely supported.
A global public opinion survey by Gallup International - conducted in collaboration with the European Council on Foreign Relation (ECFR) - shows that there is growing public support for a more multi-polar world, and one in every three citizens around the world (35%) would like to see the European Union's influence to grow. In an ECFR policy brief (PDF - 1 MB), Ivan Krastev and Mark Leonard point out that "the EU is unique among the four big powers (the other three being the US, China and Russia) in that no-one wants to balance its rise".
The 2007 edition of Voice of the People© - the world's largest survey this year based on interviews with 57,000 people from 52 countries - shows that world citizens most disapprove of an expansion of Iranian and US power. 39% of respondents would like to see Iran's power decrease, while 37% would like less US power in the world. Russia and China also provoke more negative than positive reactions. Whilst 23% and 24% of respondents, respectively, would like Russia's and China's importance to increase, 29% and 32% believe the world would benefit from a decline in their power. Accompanying the policy brief is a Love and Hate map (PDF - 3 MB), showing graphically how people in many countries around the world are calling for an increase in the EU's global influence to make the world a better place.
ECFR making an impact
The launch of ECFR has made an impact across Europe, and our Statement of Principles has received significant press coverage in the vast majority of EU member states, and further afield. The website has featured expert analysis and commentary, for example on the Ukrainian elections, on how the EU should respond to the situations in Burma and Pakistan, on the EU Reform Treaty and much more. In the coming weeks we will publish our first major policy report looking at EU's relationship with Russia. We also have forthcoming analysis on how to increase EU power at the United Nations, and on what strategies the EU should be pursuing in Afghanistan.

The Importance of True Global Scaling:
The European Union (EU) stands with a $US 16 TRILLION plus economy and is the largest trading bloc in the world accounting for nearly a third of the global economy. The $US 13.8 TRILLION US economy accounts for 27 percent, Japan 9 percent and China less than 6 percent. Europe is the creditor nation, the US is the debtor nation. Unless this fact is kept firmly in mind, the events surrounding the G-7 meeting which starts on October 19 will, on the surface, not make any sense at all. The US, of course, will maintain the facade that it is still the number one in the world, at least for internal consumption. The Europeans will see straight through this as empty and hollow blustering. What the EU wants to see is direct and concrete US actions to rein in its ongoing internal credit expansion.
The US wants to reaccelerate that same credit expansion. There is a huge collision ahead.

More and more Protestants lean toward the Biblical food laws!
I have seen books by Protestants which advocate adhereing to the clean/unclean health law. In fact, there is a growing interest in both this doctrine and the holy days by them. In this contex, check out this article by a Protestant who has seen the light!
CAN EATING PORK & SHELLFISH DESTROY YOUR HEALTH?
By Greg Ciola
October 20, 2007

This topic is one that some will disagree with, others may not want to hear, or in some cases with Christians, they will take offense with because they believe Jesus doesn’t care what we eat. I’m not trying to be legalistic when it comes to why we should avoid pork and shellfish. I’m trying to be realistic and share some health insights into why these foods could be dangerous to your health. If you want to live a long, disease-free life while you’re occupying your body, then this issue is one you need to pay close attention to.
The cold hard truth is consuming pork and shellfish regularly can guarantee you an early trip to the grave. Pork and shellfish rank near the top of the list as some of the worst foods you can put into your body right along with trans fats, refined sugar, and artificial sweeteners. Consumption of these foods was forbidden to the ancient Israelites in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy because they were considered unclean. To this day Orthodox Jews and Muslims avoid pork and shellfish.
There’s a very simple reason why God wanted the Israelites to avoid these foods and it wasn’t because He wanted to make arbitrary rules just to test their obedience. Here’s what the passage from Leviticus says:
“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.” (Leviticus 11:7-12)
From pigs we get pork, pork chops, ribs, ham, bacon, pepperoni, sausage, Chitterlings (chitlins), and other by-products. Let’s examine a few of the reasons why God considered a pig an unclean animal and why He said they shouldn’t be eaten.
Pigs are scavengers. They are notorious for eating anything, including their own waste and garbage. A pig will eat sick and infected animals, including its own piglets that die from disease. Pigs also have one the quickest, yet poorest digestive systems of any animal. On average a pig can completely digest its food in four hours. Since it processes everything so fast, many times the toxins aren’t removed and they are stored in the pig’s fat. Many pigs are traumatized physically before being slaughtered. Under these conditions, which are generally the case in large factory operations, pigs will release toxins and hormones into their muscles that affect the quality of their meat.
Pigs are also notorious for being infected with parasites and tapeworms because they roll around in poop most of their lives. Anyone that knows anything about cooking pork knows that it is important to cook it long enough and warm enough to make sure all the parasites and tapeworms have been killed off. If not, you could become infected.
Somehow eating pork containing cooked, dead parasites doesn’t sound much better either. All parasites lay eggs to create more parasites. Just because a parasite dies during cooking doesn’t mean that you can’t become contaminated by the eggs. Some health experts believe that over 90 percent of our population today has parasites in their body that reside primarily in the intestinal system. Certainly our society’s desire for pork products has played a major factor in this. People that consume pork products all the time tend to be overweight and unhealthy. Body odor is usually a problem too.
A doctor that I know personally says that pig fat is the best medium there is for cancer growth. He runs a high-tech laboratory where all sorts of microbiological research and tests are conducted. Their lab puts a lot of emphasis on diagnosing and treating cancer naturally. They actually have the ability to isolate cancer viruses from a patient’s blood and view them under a microscope to determine the strain and then develop herbs to help rid the body of that specific virus. They also have the ability to replicate the cancer virus in a Petri dish. What he told me is that the best medium he works with for growing cancer viruses is pig fat.
If they can do that in a lab, what’s all the pig fat doing to your body internally if you’re eating high amounts of pork products regularly? It would be interesting to see a study where that question was asked of cancer patients. My guess is we would find that many cancer patients and people with poor health are pork eaters.
Did you know that all of the clean animals God said we could eat live only on vegetation? They also digest their food much slower and more effectively so they aren’t storing all these toxins and wastes in their body. Would you rather eat an animal that eats filth and waste and is potentially contaminated with parasites or would you rather eat an animal that processes its food properly and eliminates the toxins from its body?
Don’t Gamble Your Health On Shellfish Either
Now let’s examine why you should avoid shellfish. Shellfish consists of lobster, shrimp, oysters, clams, crabs, scallops, and mussels. All shellfish can be a serious health risk. Like pigs, they are scavengers that live at the bottom of the ocean and eat the waste of other animals and the pollutants that man dumps into the ocean. Although only 0.1 % of all shellfish consumed is eaten raw, that tiny percentage is responsible for a large proportion of reported food-caused illnesses. Poisoning from shellfish can come from bacterial or viral contamination. Generally adequate cooking eliminates this danger, but is it worth the risks in the long run. Poisoning can also arise from heat-stable toxins derived from the food that the shellfish have been eating. Shellfish are notorious for being high in mercury, heavy metals, and industrial contaminants in the environment because they’re bottom feeders that eat the ocean’s waste. I’m sure I don’t have to explain in detail how damaging these heavy metals and toxins can be to your health.
God didn’t give the Israelites dietary laws because he was a mean, restrictive God that didn’t want them to enjoy their food. He gave them these laws because He knew best how the human body functions and that by following His dietary laws they would live their best without succumbing to disease and pre-mature death so they can serve Him. God knows far more than we can understand or comprehend. While things definitely changed after Jesus came to the earth, we should examine the Old Testament scriptures further to try and understand why God wanted things done a certain way, especially with the foods we eat.

Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthrightby J. H. Allen - free!
This book by Allen is noted as one of the major textbooks on the subject of British-Israelism. Here it is, FREE, for you to download!
It is a must read for any avid British-Israel believer and those that are still considering the subject.
Should Christian hymns be accompanied by music?
Some are beginning to fall into the same error as the Church of Christ and others with the view that it is wrong to accompany the singing of hymns with music.
Their argument is that there is no proof that music was used in the early church - not for several hundred years after Christ. Alas, instead of focussing on the true Church which structure was based on the synagogue, they look at the early proto-Catholic Church's practice to support their stance. They are simply looking at the wrong Church!
But notice:
AQUINAS "Our church does not use musical instruments, as harps and psalteries, to praise God withal, that she may not seem to Judaize." (Thomas Aquinas, Bingham's Antiquities, Vol. 3, page 137)
LUTHER "The organ in the worship Is the insignia of Baal… The Roman Catholic borrowed it from the Jews." (Martin Luther, Mcclintock & Strong's Encyclopedia Volume VI, page 762)
CAMPBELL "[Instrumental music in worship] was well adapted to churches founded on the Jewish pattern of things and practicing infant sprinkling. That all persons singing who have no spiritual discernment, taste or relish for spiritual meditation, consolations and sympathies of renewed hearts should call for such an aid is but natural. So to those who have no real devotion and spirituality in them, and whose animal nature flags under the opposition or the oppression of church service I think that instrumental music would... be an essential prerequisite to fire up their souls to even animal devotion. But I presume, that to all spiritually-minded Christians, such aid would be as a cow bell in a concert." (Alexander Campbell, recorded in Robert Richardson's biography, Memoirs of Alexander Campbell, Vol. 2., p366)
So, it was anti-Semitism that led to the absence of music in the early neo-pagan Church. BUT, the true Church would have used music given that it is Biblical - and also because it based its structure on the synagogue. For further information, see:

Their argument is that there is no proof that music was used in the early church - not for several hundred years after Christ. Alas, instead of focussing on the true Church which structure was based on the synagogue, they look at the early proto-Catholic Church's practice to support their stance. They are simply looking at the wrong Church!
But notice:
AQUINAS "Our church does not use musical instruments, as harps and psalteries, to praise God withal, that she may not seem to Judaize." (Thomas Aquinas, Bingham's Antiquities, Vol. 3, page 137)
LUTHER "The organ in the worship Is the insignia of Baal… The Roman Catholic borrowed it from the Jews." (Martin Luther, Mcclintock & Strong's Encyclopedia Volume VI, page 762)
CAMPBELL "[Instrumental music in worship] was well adapted to churches founded on the Jewish pattern of things and practicing infant sprinkling. That all persons singing who have no spiritual discernment, taste or relish for spiritual meditation, consolations and sympathies of renewed hearts should call for such an aid is but natural. So to those who have no real devotion and spirituality in them, and whose animal nature flags under the opposition or the oppression of church service I think that instrumental music would... be an essential prerequisite to fire up their souls to even animal devotion.

EU agrees on new Treaty!
EU agrees new 'Lisbon Treaty'
19.10.2007 - 06:49 CET
By Renata Goldirova
EUOBSERVER / LISBON – The European Union has overnight agreed the precise text of its new 'Lisbon Treaty' to be formally signed off on 13 December in the Portuguese capital. At around 02:00 local time on Friday morning - following shorter-than-usual discussions - Portuguese prime minister Jose Socrates announced that a deal has been struck, describing it as "victory for Europe".
"With this agreement we have managed to get out of stalemate...we will be ready to tackle the world's challenges", Mr Socrates said. European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso also branded the accord as "historic", providing the EU with the "capacity to act". The decision effectively ends a six-year long period of trying to internally reform.

EU Treaty - drafting a new world power to challenge the USA
Very soon, when the EU has its foreign minister etc in place, it will present itself as an alternative to the USA in world affairs. The world will gasp at Europe's wealth, splendour and peaceful outlook (well, at least initially). 'Peace, peace' or 'peace and safety' they will cry, for the German-led EU will dominate the world's trading system etc and bring stability to the world. Perhaps the United Nations may even move to the EU - Austria has been touted.
In due course, it will turn angrily on the Anglo-Saxon powers as it unveils its fascist intent ...

Drafting a Global Player

October 17, 2007
Unless something goes badly wrong, European Union leaders will agree a new treaty at this week's summit in Lisbon. Unlike the doomed Constitution of 2005, which aimed to supersede all earlier agreements with a grandiose state-building exercise, this will be just another amending treaty shorn of the trappings of statehood.
...
The most compelling reason for supporting the reform treaty is the fact that it could help the EU become a more effective power in the world. The EU has the resources to be a real global player: It is the largest single market in the world, it is involved in over half of the world's trade, and it has over 50,000 peacekeepers deployed from Bosnia to Beirut and an even larger army of diplomats and aid workers. But despite all of this latent power, the EU punches way below its weight. When its member states disagree, as over Iraq, the EU cannot hope to be credible. But even when the governments do agree to pursue a common foreign policy, the EU's fragmented institutional machinery often prevents it from delivering in an effective and timely manner. The big problem is that EU institutions and member states often fail to coordinate their various policies and instruments -- including trade, aid, defense, policing and diplomacy -- in the pursuit of common objectives.

Vatican publishes Knights Templar papers
Vatican publishes Knights Templar papersBy FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press Writer Fri Oct 12, 7:53 PM ET
VATICAN CITY - It's not the Holy Grail, but for fans of "The Da Vinci Code" and its tantalizing story line about the Knights Templar, it could be the next best thing.
Ignored for centuries, documents about the heresy trial of the ancient Christian order discovered in the Vatican's secret archives are being published in a limited edition — with an $8,377 price tag. They include a 14th-century parchment showing that Pope Clement V initially absolved the Templar leaders of heresy, though he did find them guilty of immorality and planned to reform the order, according to the Vatican archives Web site.

They include a 14th-century parchment showing that Pope Clement V initially absolved the Templar leaders of heresy, though he did find them guilty of immorality and planned to reform the order, according to the Vatican archives Web site.
But pressured by King Philip IV of France, Clement later reversed his decision and suppressed the order in 1312.
Only 799 copies of the 300-page volume, "Processus Contra Templarios," — Latin for "Trial against the Templars" — are for sale, said Scrinium publishing house, which prints documents from the Vatican's secret archives. Each will cost $8,377, the publisher said Friday.
An 800th copy will go to Pope Benedict XVI, said Barbara Frale, the researcher who found the long-overlooked parchment tucked away in the archives in 2001.
The Knights Templar, which ultimately disappeared because of the heresy scandal, recently captivated the imagination of readers of the best-seller "The Da Vinci Code," which linked the order to the legend of the Holy Grail.
The new Vatican work reproduces the entire documentation of the papal hearings convened after Philip IV of France arrested and tortured Templar leaders in 1307 on charges of heresy and immorality.
The military order of the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon was founded in 1118 in Jerusalem to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land after the First Crusade.
As their military might increased, the Templars also grew in wealth, acquiring property throughout Europe and running a primitive banking system. After they left the Middle East with the collapse of the Crusader kingdoms, their power and secretive ways aroused the fear of European rulers and sparked accusations of corruption and blasphemy.

Further update on Raymond F McNair's condition
From: Eve McNair

To: surfer11
Please continue to pray that the pain in my husband's back will subside so that he will have the "energy" needed to do more of the things he desires to do.
He is coming along, has a wonderful appetite, which is always good. Tuesday's visit by a nurse who comes to take his "vital signs" once a month, commented that his heart is that of a young man. All other organs are in tip top shape. She commented that my husband did not have cancer and that years ago the doctors were totally mistaken.
For one who is 77 years of age, this is good news. She told us that when the heart is in that good condition, the rest of the body lives a long time.
We know that God has kept him alive and has performed miracles along the way for some reason, when a list of many evangelists, ministers, etc., died in just a few months time (Carl McN, Dean Blackwell, John Ogywn, Garner Ted, and others, or in Dr. Hoeh's situation, just minutes.
We patiently wait for God's promise to heal my husband totally and to guide us as to what His will is.
Warm regards, and thanks,
Mrs. McNair

Revival of Prussia
The forces of fascism were beaten down by the British (and allies) in 1814/15 (Napoleon) and again in WWI (with the help of the Americans).But by the end of WWII, the fascists were utterly smashed and scattered. And Prussia was identified by the Allies as having a 1,000 year tradition of militarism and the cause of most of the wars. They thus removed the Junker class, eliminated their assets and outlawed Prussia - their power was broken!
.
Germany and Prussia were so broken that it has taken them 60 years to regain their confidence and national identity. The traditional enemies of the House of Israel have been struggling to unite and become a force ever since, but are making progress.
Yet today, Prussia is slowly re-forming:
- lands and property of the old Junker class are being bought back
- the Prussian flag is flying again
- various Prussian symbols and statues have been restored
- attempts have been made to restore the name of Prussia to a combination of some German states
- they even have their own website
The Prussian Junkers were the landed artisocracy – the name alludes to a ‘young lord’ or even a country squire. They were regarded as the backbone of German imperialism, sometimes called the ‘1,000 year conspiracy’ for war-mongering. Today, however, they are very gradually regathering their lands.
“In the depressed hinterlands of Eastern Germany, scores of gentry are quietly returning to hard-luck realms, buying back from governmental agencies and other quasi-public holders the lands, buildings
and, yes, castles that would have been their inheritances, had history not intervened …
"The Communists were here for 45 years," von Maltzahn said during an interview in the main keep.
"What's that? The blink of an eye. My family had been here for 800 years … Today, European royalty watchers estimate, some 70,000 Germans hold inherited titles … Under Germany's reunification law, owners who lost large holdings to the Soviet occupiers have no legal right to their properties, although the government will help negotiate the repurchase of lost lands.”
One organisation to watch is the Prussian Claims Society, established in 2000 AD, was set up to regain Prussian properties which their families had held for centuries. The problem is, part of the former Prussia is now within Poland.
Note also the following information taken from Wikipedia (article “Kyffhäuser Monument”):
“The Kyffhäuser Monument (German: Kyffhäuserdenkmal), also known as the Barbarossa Monument (Barbarossadenkmal) or the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument (Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal), is a monument on the summit of the Kyffhäuser Mountain … recalls the castles and fortresses of the Hohenstaufen period in Germany in the 12th and 13th centuries. It was intended to suggest that the Prussia-dominated German Empire founded in 1871 was the legitimate successor to the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which existed from the 10th century until 1806. It also signifies the national theme of decline and rebirth."
.

.
And, as Adolf Bastian, German anthropologist simply declares: “Prussia is a country of warriors; so it was and so it will remain.” Do we care to heed that warning?
