The 63-foot Sierra White Fir lighted at the U.S. Capitol Grounds on Dec. 6 as the official 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree includes a prominently displayed ornament paying homage to President Barack Obama, but includes no ornament readily visible to a person standing near the tree's base that uses the word “Christmas,” or includes an image of the Nativity, or bears the name or image of Jesus Christ.

When asked whether the tree included any ornaments that mention or depict Christmas or the birth of Jesus, the office of the Architect of the Capitol, which is responsible for the tree, told CNSNews.com that it “does not have a policy nor any restrictions concerning the themes for the ornaments” that go on the tree. The office could not say, however, whether or not this year’s Christmas tree does in fact include even a single ornament that directly references or depicts Christmas or Christ.

Jeremiah 50

A Message About Babylon

 ¹ This is the word the LORD spoke through Jeremiah the prophet concerning Babylon and the land of the Babylonians^[a]:  ² “Announce and proclaim among the nations,
   lift up a banner and proclaim it;
   keep nothing back, but say,
‘Babylon will be captured;
   Bel will be put to shame,
   Marduk filled with terror.
Her images will be put to shame
   and her idols filled with terror.’
³ A nation from the north will attack her
   and lay waste her land.
No one will live in it;
   both people and animals will flee away.
 ⁴ “In those days, at that time,”
   declares the LORD,
“the people of Israel and the people of Judah together
   will go in tears to seek the LORD their God.
⁵ They will ask the way to Zion
   and turn their faces toward it.
They will come and bind themselves to the LORD
   in an everlasting covenant
   that will not be forgotten.
 ⁶ “My people have been lost sheep;
   their shepherds have led them astray
   and caused them to roam on the mountains.
They wandered over mountain and hill
   and forgot their own resting place.
⁷ Whoever found them devoured them;
   their enemies said, ‘We are not guilty,
for they sinned against the LORD, their verdant pasture,
   the LORD, the hope of their ancestors.’
 ⁸ “Flee out of Babylon;
   leave the land of the Babylonians,
   and be like the goats that lead the flock.
⁹ For I will stir up and bring against Babylon
   an alliance of great nations from the land of the north.
They will take up their positions against her,
   and from the north she will be captured.
Their arrows will be like skilled warriors
   who do not return empty-handed.
¹⁰ So Babylonia^[b] will be plundered;
   all who plunder her will have their fill,”
            declares the LORD.
 ¹¹ “Because you rejoice and are glad,
   you who pillage my inheritance,
because you frolic like a heifer threshing grain
   and neigh like stallions,
¹² your mother will be greatly ashamed;
   she who gave you birth will be disgraced.
She will be the least of the nations—
   a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.
¹³ Because of the LORD’s anger she will not be inhabited
   but will be completely desolate.
All who pass Babylon will be appalled;
   they will scoff because of all her wounds.
 ¹⁴ “Take up your positions around Babylon,
   all you who draw the bow.
Shoot at her! Spare no arrows,
   for she has sinned against the LORD.
¹⁵ Shout against her on every side!
   She surrenders, her towers fall,
   her walls are torn down.
Since this is the vengeance of the LORD,
   take vengeance on her;
   do to her as she has done to others.
¹⁶ Cut off from Babylon the sower,
   and the reaper with his sickle at harvest.
Because of the sword of the oppressor
   let everyone return to their own people,
   let everyone flee to their own land.
 ¹⁷ “Israel is a scattered flock
   that lions have chased away.
The first to devour them
   was the king of Assyria;
the last to crush their bones
   was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.”
 ¹⁸ Therefore this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
   “I will punish the king of Babylon and his land
   as I punished the king of Assyria.
¹⁹ But I will bring Israel back to their own pasture,
   and they will graze on Carmel and Bashan;
their appetite will be satisfied
   on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
²⁰ In those days, at that time,”
   declares the LORD,
“search will be made for Israel’s guilt,
   but there will be none,
and for the sins of Judah,
   but none will be found,
   for I will forgive the remnant I spare.
 ²¹ “Attack the land of Merathaim
   and those who live in Pekod.
Pursue, kill and completely destroy^[c] them,”
            declares the LORD.
   “Do everything I have commanded you.
²² The noise of battle is in the land,
   the noise of great destruction!
²³ How broken and shattered
   is the hammer of the whole earth!
How desolate is Babylon
   among the nations!
²⁴ I set a trap for you, Babylon,
   and you were caught before you knew it;
you were found and captured
   because you opposed the LORD.
²⁵ The LORD has opened his arsenal
   and brought out the weapons of his wrath,
for the Sovereign LORD Almighty has work to do
   in the land of the Babylonians.
²⁶ Come against her from afar.
   Break open her granaries;
   pile her up like heaps of grain.
Completely destroy her
   and leave her no remnant.
²⁷ Kill all her young bulls;
   let them go down to the slaughter!
Woe to them! For their day has come,
   the time for them to be punished.
²⁸ Listen to the fugitives and refugees from Babylon
   declaring in Zion
how the LORD our God has taken vengeance,
   vengeance for his temple.
 ²⁹ “Summon archers against Babylon,
   all those who draw the bow.
Encamp all around her;
   let no one escape.
Repay her for her deeds;
   do to her as she has done.
For she has defied the LORD,
   the Holy One of Israel.
³⁰ Therefore, her young men will fall in the streets;
   all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,”
            declares the LORD.
³¹ “See, I am against you, you arrogant one,”
   declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty,
“for your day has come,
   the time for you to be punished.
³² The arrogant one will stumble and fall
   and no one will help her up;
I will kindle a fire in her towns
   that will consume all who are around her.”
 ³³ This is what the LORD Almighty says:
   “The people of Israel are oppressed,
   and the people of Judah as well.
All their captors hold them fast,
   refusing to let them go.
³⁴ Yet their Redeemer is strong;
   the LORD Almighty is his name.
He will vigorously defend their cause
   so that he may bring rest to their land,
   but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
 ³⁵ “A sword against the Babylonians!”
   declares the LORD—
“against those who live in Babylon
   and against her officials and wise men!
³⁶ A sword against her false prophets!
   They will become fools.
A sword against her warriors!
   They will be filled with terror.
³⁷ A sword against her horses and chariots
   and all the foreigners in her ranks!
   They will become weaklings.
A sword against her treasures!
   They will be plundered.
³⁸ A drought on^[d] her waters!
   They will dry up.
For it is a land of idols,
   idols that will go mad with terror.
 ³⁹ “So desert creatures and hyenas will live there,
   and there the owl will dwell.
It will never again be inhabited
   or lived in from generation to generation.
⁴⁰ As I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah
   along with their neighboring towns,”
            declares the LORD,
“so no one will live there;
   no people will dwell in it.
 ⁴¹ “Look! An army is coming from the north;
   a great nation and many kings
   are being stirred up from the ends of the earth.
⁴² They are armed with bows and spears;
   they are cruel and without mercy.
They sound like the roaring sea
   as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
   to attack you, Daughter Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon has heard reports about them,
   and his hands hang limp.
Anguish has gripped him,
   pain like that of a woman in labor.
⁴⁴ Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets
   to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
   Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?
   And what shepherd can stand against me?”
 ⁴⁵ Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Babylon,
   what he has purposed against the land of the Babylonians:
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
   their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
⁴⁶ At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will tremble;
   its cry will resound among the nations.

Well, I was gonna abstain from formulating an opinion. But since Mr. Tebow has offered a response, I will too. First of all, I think Jake Plummer's comment have been taken out of context. Second of all, I am a Christian and Kansas City Chiefs fan. But Tim Tebow's statements just about brought tears to my eyes. He has been blessed beyond a measure and is fully aware of that. His actions are a byproduct of his faith and what a feeling it must be to be able to shift the focus away from self to Jesus Christ on television. I have to say, if the chiefs don't make it to the playoffs and our archrival broncos do, I will find myself rooting for them just because I appreciate anyone who glorifies God and relishes each and every opportunity to do so. Lord, I thank you for You. And I thank you for souls such as Tim Tebow who encourages his brothers and sisters in their walk by his actions. Im sure he would testify that he is only doing what he has been called to do.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord. He certainly is worthy!

Keep it up Mr. Tebow.

The following is an excerpt from the above website:

In America, the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) was created in 1979 under Presidential Memorandum 32 authored for President Carter by Prof. Samuel P. Huntington, a Harvard professor and former FEMA Advisory Board chairman. Huntington wrote the Seminal Peace for the Trilateral Commission in the mid 70's, in which he criticized democracy and economic development as outdated ideas. As co-author of another report prepared for the Trilateral Commissiosn, The Crisis of Democracy, Huntington wrote:

"We have come to recognize that there are potential desirable limits to economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of political democracy. A government which lacks authority will have little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary."

Huntington's ideas were rewritten into National Security Decision Directive #47 (NSDD47), which was enacted in July 1982 by President Reagan. Treated as a passing footnote by the media, this law identified legitimate areas to be upgraded to maintain national defense, but it also laid the groundwork for Emergency Mobilization Preparedness, a plan under which existing socio/economic regulations or other legal constraints would be waived in the event of a national emergency. This plan was further strengthened in Public Law 101-647, signed by President Bush in November 1990.What it boils down to is this: in the event that the President declares a national emergency, for any reason (from major earthquakes to increased international tensions or economic /financial crisis of any stripe), FEMA can then, at their discretion, implement Executive Orders 10995 through 11005. These Executive Orders permit a takeover by FEMA of local, state, and national governments and the suspension of constitutional guarantees. FEMA will have the authority to exert any sort of control that it deems necessary upon the American public. A trained National Police Force, formally referred to by the name of Multi Jurisdictional Task Force (MJTF), wearing black uniforms and composed of:

1. specially selected US military personnel
2. foreign military units carrying United Nations ID cards, and
3. specially trained existing police groups from larger metropolitan American cities.

These members of the MJTF will implement and enforce martial law under the direction and controlof FEMA. The President and Congress are out of the loop.
FEMA is the Trojan Horse by which the New World Order will implement overt, police-state control over the American populace.

"According to The Associated Press, the Vatican suggests "the reform process begin with the United Nations as its point of reference."

"Echoing the pope's 2009 encyclical on the economy, it calls for the redistribution of wealth and the regulation of the world economy by international agencies."

AND....

Reese revisited the encyclical to get a sense of the pope's thinking that shapes the new document. The pope called for more, not less, government regulation, saying:

The conviction that the economy must be autonomous, that it must be shielded from 'influences' of a moral character, has led man to abuse the economic process in a thoroughly destructive way... In the long term, these convictions have led to economic, social and political systems that trample upon personal and social freedom, and are therefore unable to deliver the justice that they promise.

Reese noted Benedict's support for a new world authority ...

To manage the global economy; to revive economies hit by the crisis; to avoid any deterioration of the present crisis and the greater imbalances that would result; to bring about integral and timely disarmament, food security and peace; to guarantee the protection of the environment and to regulate migration...

And he concludes,

On economic issues, the pope is to the left of Obama. He is even to the left of liberal Democrats like Nancy Pelosi.

...The current economic crisis, which has seen growing inequality between the rich and poor of the world, underlines the necessity to take concrete steps toward creating (a global) authority, it said.
Heads up, Wall Street. According to John Thavis' Catholic News Service report:

One major step...should be reform of the international monetary system in a way that involves developing countries. The document foresaw creation of a "central world bank" that would regulate the flow of monetary exchanges; it said the International Monetary Fund had lost the ability to control the amount of credit risk taken on by the system.

This is a crime in of its own.

"When the economy tanks, when foreclosures increase exponentially, when homes get abandoned, drug outfits move in, arsons go way up," Biden said. "That causes a spiral.
