A gunman shot a federal officer(TSA) at LAX yesterday.

"The rapid police response to today's deadly shooting at a terminal in the Los Angeles Int'l Airport (LAX) was no accident, according to LAX Police Chief Patrick Gannon, because his officers prepared for an event identical to the shooting weeks in advance.

"We practiced to this not more than 3 weeks ago," said Gannon at a press conference hours after the shooting. "We took every one of our patrol officers and a couple hundred officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and we practiced the exact scenario we played out today."

This makes the FEMA Region III alert a bit more alarming...

Because there is a thin line between something coincident and something obvious...

The inventor and noted author believes the key to such a scientific breakthrough is a system of 'bridges' that enable the body to move from strength to strength over time. The youthful 65-year-old currently takes 150 supplements a day, which he argues if the first bridge. The idea is to build enough bridges to ensure the body holds out long enough for life-lengthening technology to come into its own. He has likened the biology of the body to computer software and believes we are all 'out of date'.

Current Events-Socialism

http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/why-austerity-is-bad-for-morale-by-robert-j--shiller

2013 Economics Nobel Prize winner thinks that unemployment is a byproduct of CAPITALISM.

He states that "Unemployment is a product of capitalism: people who are no longer needed are simply made redundant. On the traditional family farm, there was no unemployment."

Maybe Bob Shiller is an advocate for socialism.

In socialist systems, everyone IS employed albeit by one entity, usually a government-or a branch thereof, subsidiary-which controls every aspect of  labor and production. Socialism has failed throughout history in sovereign nations but it is the UN's blueprint for a New World Order which also coincides with muslim eschatology and the doings of the mahdi.

The pyramid goes from top-down.

Sure, those who want in the pyramid, get in but at the expense of losing their privacy and sense of individualism, and most importantly their soul. They shall receive a label, or mark, that identifies them as citizens of the World (but phillipians 3:20) and allows them to live as usual buying and selling (revelation 16:17) and mingling with the world (1 John 2:15). Those who don't, stay out and are "stigmatized" as evildoers and advocates of violence in the midst of a "peaceful" world which shall last 3.5 years.

The process wouldn't be immediate because some people would want in and would willingly be labeled, some people wouldn't mind being labeled, some wouldn't be sure, yet others will be unwilling and ready to die (revelation 13:10). This may allow for some discretion and the deception of the populace. Given that overpopulation is an "issue", just like climate and "global warming", the extermination of people deemed to be "hostile" to a New World Order would materialize much like in the days of Hitler. This would allow their "wealth" to be re-distributed amongst those who are accepted by the world and who accepted the world. Satan is the god of this world (2 cor 4:4, 1 john 5:19) and will demand that his worship be tangible.

Current Events-Coldness

"He who loves til the end, will be saved."

Our world is driven by pleasure. And with that comes selfishness. And further along coldness.

In this world, we have been given a heavy burden, granted. We spent half our lives if not all of it running away from whatever our realities are and into entertainment, distraction, or some other form of just "getting away". At times we go to drugs, quantity of acquaintances, consumerism, etc.

How be it that we gloat over another's misfortunes?!

In America, one of our favorite sources of "getting away" is through entertainment. The end of summer isn't as bad as it sounds because with fall comes FOOTBALL. For a few hours, we do get distracted and entertained by 21st century gladiators.

But today, a line was crossed.

Matt Schaub is the quarterback-football's premier position-for Houston's Texans. His job demands that he use his superior athletic abilities to please people who idolize the game. At times, pressure to perform is heavy, like many other occupations. The fact that he works in an industry that allows its employees to be paid exorbitant amounts of money should not objectify a man with a family, with obligations, with feelings, and emotions.

Matt Schaub had been having a rough month at work. By the profession's standards, he was failing, and you could see he was fighting the spirit of doubt, in spite of having succeeded in the past. The pressures and burden of this life at times can be overwhelming, and it was and is no different for Matt Schaub. However, in today's game vs St.Louis, things only got worse for the Texans' quarterback. Schaub suffered what looked to be a serious leg injury. 

There lied Matt Schaub, wounded. Not only his spirit but now also his body.

Advocates of coldness, idolizers of "getting away", applauded and were pleased by another man's misfortune.

Ruthlessness is nothing new. Fans have committed heinous crimes against "celebrities" but usually-not to take away from the seriousness of gloating-against the "other" team's players.

Talk about adding salt to a wound...

Matt Schaub, a man created in the image of God just like you and I, had to sit there and endure the excruciating, humiliating experience of being spat upon simply because he threw 4 pick 6's. Oh, the tragedy of an INT! It doesn't matter that the now beloved backup did the same thing a few plays later.
Perspective people!

What matters is we are cold. We are willing to objectify pro-athletes because they have large amounts of money and fame so much so that we see them as infallible. And because we want what they have, we envy them and need them to fulfill all of our needs of "getting away" by being successful at what they do, and by OUR standards.

We can try to justify the actions of fans so caught up in a moment, but that's another story.

I do not know Matt Schaub personally. But I can only imagine how tough it must be to endure what he has gone through.

Father, be with Matt Schaub, because You're good at showing us how that which we love more than You at times, Life, is so secondary. 

Amen.

Current Events-Chaos

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2013/10/12/food-stamp-debit-cards/2972713/

"People in 17 states found themselves unable to buy groceries with their food stamp debit-style cards Saturday after a routine check by vendor Xerox Corp. resulted in a system failure."

I, too, get irritable when hungry. And if people are too dependent on the government for food..how will they respond IF the government takes that food away?

Will they riot? Maybe. But why would that be desired?

BECAUSE IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE ORDER, THERE MUST FIRST BE CHAOS.

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS!

TIMING

Given that a focus on the TIMING of events will be placed on my posts from here on out...

According to dictionary.com,
1.theater

a.Timing is the synchronizing of the various parts of a production for theatrical effect.

b.the result or effect thus achieved.

c.(in acting) the act of adjusting one's tempo of speaking and moving for dramatic effect.

 

2.Sports. 

 

a.the control of the speed of a stroke, blow, etc., in order that it may reach its maximum at the proper moment.

 

3.

the selecting of the best time or speed for doing something in order to achieve the desired or maximum result: I went to ask for a raise, but my timing was bad, since the boss had indigestion.

 

I find it interesting that the first aspect related to "timing" that is defined has to do with theatrics. Because quite honestly, it is all an act. Anything on TV, is an act. In fact, anything that isn't TRUTH, is an act. Again, it's just one big fat lie. Lie after lie after Lie which will one day birth The Lie, a man who manifests himself as the Truth, known as the anti-christ. Whereas Christ is The Truth, this man will be Da Lie. 

 

In any case, timing has to do with the manipulation of events(reference def #3 and 1c)so that they may have maximum impact upon a desired result(reference 2 and 3). This means that somebody is trying to get something done. 

Current Events-TIMING

http://www.infowars.com/janet-yellen-a-dangerous-person-at-a-dangerous-time-heading-a-dangerous-institution/

It seems like what makes darkness' strategies so obvious are the TIMING of events. For example, the timing of the change in position at the Fed, right before a vote on debt ceiling and right after the government shutdown and right before UNited Nations' Day, which Im sure, NO ONE is aware of.
Also, the TIMING of OBAMACARE. October, 2013.

I think that 10/2013 marks the date of when it all begin. I tried to find any symbolism tied into such date but couldn't find one to bother speculating on.

Economics expert, Peter Schiff, says "the economic recovery is an illusion brought forth by quantitative easing" and that the new Fed appointee " is a dangerous person, at a dangerous time, heading a dangerous institution".  Schiff also raises an interesting point regarding Bo's mentality regarding "payment of bills". Bo says that "raising the debt ceiling would allow us to pay our bills on time" when in reality raising the debt ceiling would allow us to simply BORROW more money to pay loans. It's like one gigantic consolidation after another. Schiff also accurately predicts that "the debt ceiling WILL BE raised because we don't wanna deal with the problem right now." I agree. There isn't enough chaos as of right now that would warrant the icing on the cake to be put on yet.

Debt ceiling not raised --> US default --> US dollar collapse --> National economic crisis --> World economic crisis --> global currency and by then....

By the way...doesn't the whole concept of "raising a debt ceiling" sound alarming, reckless, and dangerous?

Current Events-Speculation

http://www.infowars.com/ex-treasury-official-obama-could-use-debt-crisis-to-seize-total-power/

“Generally when democratically regimes fail you end up with a Caesar, and a shutdown is of course the epitome of a democratic failure. So this would give President Obama all of the justification for exercising the Executive Order so that the President can rule independently of Congress and the courts,” said Roberts.

“This would mean that the President, on his own authority, could raise the debt ceiling. So, either of those two events would happen if it looked like no deal was forthcoming from the Congress. It could be that President Obama, or others in the Executive Branch, are planning to use this crisis to invoke that Executive Order,” Roberts told KingWorldNews.


An interesting point of view from an alternative news source....coupled with this, from a mainstream media source, may point to an unprecedented event:

Current Events-Babylonian economy and its impact on the world

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-to-make-2-p-m--statement--take-questions-162609968.html

I dont quote yahoo as much but USAToday appears to have missed some key quotes by Bo.

President Barack Obama called an impromptu press conference Tuesday and warned House Republicans that a first-of-its-kind U.S. default would amount to an economic “nuclear bomb” dropped on the fragile economy.

He called that an “insane” policy that would have a “catastrophic” impact on the economy, spreading “chaos” and even precipitating a “worldwide catastrophe.”

To couple mainstream news with alternative news sources:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/get-your-fiscal-house-in-order-china-warns-us-as-asia-expresses-concern-for-13tn-of-investments-8864935.html

China, the biggest foreign creditor of the United States, has waded into the American budget crisis, warning Congress that it must resolve the political impasse over the debt ceiling without further delay.

The Chinese Vice Foreign Minister, Zhu Guangyao, told America’s deadlocked politicians on Monday that “the clock is ticking” and called on them to approve an extension of the national borrowing limit before the federal government is projected to run out of cash on 17 October.

“We ask that the United States earnestly takes steps to resolve in a timely way the political issues around the debt ceiling and prevent a US debt default to ensure the safety of Chinese investments in the United States,”  Mr Zhu told reporters in Beijing. “This is the United States’ responsibility,” he added.

Furthermore, from another alternative news source:

http://www.infowars.com/12-very-ominous-warnings-about-what-a-u-s-debt-default-would-mean-for-the-global-economy/

A U.S. debt default that lasts for more than a couple of days could potentially cause a financial crash unlike anything that the world has ever seen before.  If the U.S. government purposely wanted to damage the global financial system, the best way that they could do that would be to default on U.S. debt obligations.  

TIMING-speculation

So, Obamacare went into effect on 10/01, then the government shutdown on 10/04 less than two weeks before the debt ceiling was to be raised on 10/17, which is a week before "United Nations" day.

How long would it take before tangible repercussions begin to take place?

Only time will tell...   ;)

Current Events-new c note

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/10/07/100-dollar-bill/2936097/

I guess a government shutdown doesn't prevent the ordinary from continuing to take place but will these changes mean much when the dollar bill is as good as monopoly money?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut6tsUuajlo#t=226

I think it's quite a reach to suggest events are prophesied in currency notes in spite of the fact that money makes the world go around. I think it's more accurate to suggest that the person doing the folding believes that the events he claims are found on the notes will take place. Personally, I agree. I think the US will suffer an attack. Defense spending is down and the US will default on its debt one day which will collapse the dollar. When the dollar collapses, it will make room for a new global reserve currency. China continues to call for this and coincidentally is the largest purchaser of US debt. The New World Order will be socialist in nature and will eliminate the only capitalist obstacle in the way, which happens to be the lone superpower still alive, the United States. It will eliminate it economically first, as is happening, then militarily, as prophesied in Revelation 18, which in my opinion depicts the New Babylon as New York or the USA.

United Nations Day

Coming up on the 24th...a week after the debt ceiling is supposed to be raised to prevent a US default.
If the debt ceiling isn't raised or the US defaults on its debt...

AN ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE will ensue.

Current Events-Babylonian economy

"A default would be a 10 on the Richter Scale," says LaVorgna.

It would probably lead to a downgrade in US credit. I dont know what happens from there. What I do know is that the dollar is being deliberately destroyed for the sake of world economics since it is currently the world's reserve currency. The removal of the dollar would allow a world currency to be ushered in.

The U.S. Treasury warned Thursday that a default "has the potential to be catastrophic." It said it could spark a financial crisis and recession that "could echo the events of 2008 or worse."

After the catastrophe and in a post-America world, the new currency would benefit the entire globe.

"There is a 0% chance that the U.S. will default," Parker says.

True, if anti-americanism wasn't so prevalent. Socialism can't take off unless the lone superpower, which happens to be capitalist, is removed from the equation.

The U.S. Treasury said it will be virtually out of cash on Oct. 17.

And time maybe.

Wow, Bo on a roll, two truths in a row.

Dang, we must be nearing the end when the AC resorts to telling the truth.

Obama spoke less than an hour after the Treasury Department issued a report saying that a default could plunge the nation into a recession worse than the near-meltdown of the financial system in 2008.

Why would Bo try to scare people? Maybe he's not. Maybe he's telling the truth for once.

Obama cited concern about possible Republican objections to an increase in the debt ceiling, leading to a government default. While it's "not unusual for Democrats and Republicans to disagree," Obama also said that "when you have a situation in which a faction is willing potentially to default on U.S. government obligations, then we are in trouble."

A DEFAULT would have serious economic repercussions worldwide.

Since May, Lew has undertaken a number of actions, known as "extraordinary measures," to keep under the debt limit set by law. They include delayed pension fund payments. Tuesday's announcement said Treasury has taken the final measures at its disposal, including drawing down a $23 billion emergency fund meant to stabilize U.S. currency, and making a $9 billion debt swap.

"There are no other legal and prudent options to extend the nation's borrowing authority," Lew said.

Neither action will extend the Oct. 17 date, when the Treasury's daily balance is projected to be $30 billion. At that point, the government would only be able to pay as many bills as it has daily tax receipts.

The balloon just keeps getting bigger and bigger...and when it pops...the mighty dollar will take a knockout blow.

So all someone has to do is schedule an interview with the guy ? I thought he was supposed to be the world's number#1 enemy...

Does the mainstream even care anymore if some people actually ponder the events articled? Or is the mainstream betting that people are so far gone, hypnotized, distracted, oblivious, etc...that logic or even reason no longer exists?

And the Assad kid doesn't really look shook based on that photo...

What is going on? Maybe Assad knows something the mainstream won't tell us....?

USAToday asks....Can a financial crisis happen again?

Such hypothesis is borderline comical.

Current Events-Damascus

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/08/some-see-biblical-visions-of-doom-in-syria-trouble/2780827/

Some are pointing to Old Testament passages that predict the destruction of Damascus and a civil war in Egypt.

 Isaiah 17:1

[ A Prophecy Against Damascus ] A prophecy against Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

 

26. Jeremiah 49:23
    [ A Message About Damascus ] Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea.
    Jeremiah 49:22-24 (in Context) Jeremiah 49 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
27. Jeremiah 49:24
    Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor.
    Jeremiah 49:23-25 (in Context) Jeremiah 49 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
28. Jeremiah 49:27
    “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.”
     
    26. Amos 1:3
        [ Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors ] This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not relent. Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,
        Amos 1:2-4 (in Context) Amos 1 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
    27. Amos 1:5
        I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,” says the Lord
         
        Zechariah 9:1

        [ Judgment on Israel’s Enemies ] A prophecy: The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak and will come to rest on Damascus— for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord—

         

        Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos and Zechariah had words against Damascus. It would be interesting to see if all four were living at the same time...

         

     

 

Current Events-Barack O'Mahdi

Regarding O'mahdi grappling with putting military action to a vote in Congress...

"Rice, a member of the White House staff, was in the room. But Kerry and Hagel were only informed about the decision later that night during phone calls from the president. "All power flows from and into the White House," said Aaron David Miller, a former adviser to Democratic and Republican administrations and current vice president at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "He's relied, not surprisingly, on a very close circle of trusted advisers. He really is a controlling foreign policy president."

Wouldn't/shouldn't expect any less from the leader of the New World...

Current Events-Cyberwar

http://www.usatoday.com/story/cybertruth/2013/08/30/syrias-cyber-retaliation-signals--new-era-of-warfare/2740457/

"The latest disruption to U.S. media outlets dealt out by the Syrian Electronic Army may be a precursor for warfare in the digital age.

One aspect of the frontal assault that ought not be overlooked is the timing: The SEA, which supports strongman President Bashar al-Assad, knocked down websites of the New York Times, Huffington Post and Twitter, a few hours after US officials indicated the US may launch missile strikes against the Syrian government."

If SYRIA can do this, what of China and Russia? Everbody knows society is more dependent on the internet than anything else.

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel ordered a special call-up of reserve troops Wednesday as nervous citizens lined up at gas-mask distribution centers, preparing for possible hostilities with Syria.

Ahead of the US strike on Syria, the Israeli security cabinet in special session Wednesday, Aug. 28, ordered the partial mobilization of select, qualitative IDF reserve forces: Rocket, Air Force, missile interception, Home Defense command and intelligence units. Anti-missile Arrow, Patriot and Iron Dome systems were spread out more widely than ever before across the country. US and Syria wound up last military preparations for the US strike. Barring last-minute hold-ups, debkafile’s military sources report the American operation is scheduled to start Friday night, early Saturday Aug. 30-31.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today following security consultations at his Tel Aviv office, said, "The State of Israel is ready for any scenario. We are not part of the civil war in Syria but if we identify any attempt whatsoever to harm us, we will respond and we will respond in strength."

But analysts warned that if the Western attack on Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians was aimed at striking the Syrian army or toppling the regime of President Bashar Assad, this would prompt a retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah against Israel.

“In the event of a qualitative [Western military] strike that aims to change the balance of power in Syria, Hezbollah will fight on various fronts,” the senior source said.

“A large-scale Western strike on Syria will plunge Lebanon virtually and immediately into the inferno of a war with Israel,” the source said, clearly referring to the possibility of Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel.

“However, if the Western attack is limited to certain targets in Syria, then, Hezbollah will not intervene,” the source added.

Clouds of war are gathering over Syria amid signs that Western powers could attack the strife-torn country within days.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said U.S. forces in the region were “ready to go,” as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a chemical attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians in eastern Ghouta outside Damascus.
