Prophecy 2010 - America Approaches the Fork in the Road

Rev Michael Bresciani

 

Since my articles entitled Prophecy 2008 and Prophecy 2009 were the most read articles of each respective year I have undertaken this piece with much care and forethought. The prophetic message has changed little in the last two years but the country has changed significantly, unfortunately the changes have not all been good.

 

What has not changed one whit is the prophetic charge I was given almost forty years past. In no uncertain terms I can say that our economy will plummet because our dollar will begin to fail across the globe. The current flush of spending by the government and the health care proposals now in the Senate are the single greatest threat to economic security the nation has ever had to face. It will not end well. I make no apologies and I seek no one’s support nor do I care what the naysayers have for arguments, this is a foregone. This is revelation not mere prediction.

 

It is only natural that when hard times are looming that we seek some form of preparation to stave off the worst. Survival garden seeds, investment in gold and arming to the teeth and finding places in remote areas of the country to hide or take a sort of last stand are all being touted as real and reasonable responses to the coming difficulties.

 

I can safely say that gold will fail you. Gold is as worthless as money when there are no goods to be purchased. Survival gardens are not a bad idea but they are vulnerable to marauding hungry people who have no garden. Hiding in the mountains may seem like its safe but it is still just running away. Arming to the teeth may lead to harming others which is the opposite of the biblical teaching and will not remove anyone’s culpability and they will still have to answer to the law of the land.

 

We will have to grow up, stand up and put up, as every true American has done before us in tough times. Each person’s solution will be a separate story but hearts and minds will change for the better with or without lots of the creature comforts we have come to take for granted.

 

What I see beyond the shadow of a doubt is a nation that is coming to a fork in the road of its national life. It is the most serious decision its people will ever have to make in these modern times. It will indeed decide the future of the nation until what we who are versed in eschatology or have a prophetic charge call the last days. By the way the last days are not the end of the world, it culminates in the battle of Armageddon but even that does not end the world. There will be a worldwide power shift after Armageddon but that is a subject for another time.

 

Changes are happening at breakneck speed today. If there is any doubt witness that in only two months after the final vote on the Lisbon Treaty by the Irish, there is a permanent first President in the EU. Why didn’t you hear of a long and illustrious campaign to elect him? How about a secret ballot that America was too busy to note and has shocked many Europeans as well, not to mention a foreign secretary, Baroness, Lady Ashton, who has not held a political office in her entire life.

 

In America we have a President and Congress that is spending money faster than we can print it and seems to think if we don’t hurriedly pass a new healthcare bill that costs more than a mountain of gold the nation will fall headlong to its eternal demise. This administration is in a race to make change like it was the holy grail of our future. It may be, but it will hardly be seen as holy if they are successful.

 

The campaign of Barack Obama touted the slogan “change that we can believe in” but only one year into his administration America is bombarded daily with reports of change that no one can believe for trying. Complaining about political developments is as American as country music but what we are seeing today is more like social shock and awe. We ignore the warnings of statesmen, prophets and the shepherds of what’s left to the true church in the land. We treat the messengers like they are meddling knuckle rapping over enthusiastic school marms trying to keep us from just having a little fun.

 

We think they are supposed to tell us to cut it out like the over anxious parent of a teen or a professional counselor who is paid to tell us we are taking the wrong path. We have learned to dismiss, deny and tune out the common droll of the voice of reason. The preachers assertion that a nation’s economy, defenses and its domestic tranquility are all hard connected to its morality are as welcome as a wet dog on a clean carpet.

 

It is easy enough to block our ears but it is almost impossible to block our eyes from seeing what any daily news cycle has to offer. We see a President on his way to Oslo to pick up a Nobel peace prize even though he has brought no peace to any place in the world including his own back yard to which thousands of recent tea partiers can attest.

 

We see a California Senator Barbara Boxer has found a way to equate abortion with the use of Viagra. We see the appointment of a school safety Czar who backs literature promoting sex acts between preschoolers. We see more filth and debauchery spewing forth from Hollywood and media in general than the rupture of a major waste treatment facility. But who is making the connection between all of this and the warnings now mostly unheeded?

 

It is our conscious decision to ignore what we see that is bringing us collectively to a fork in the road. The messengers don’t create the fork; it is our own national behavior that creates the divide in the road. We are a nation of people that knows how to plot a course to the moon but can’t see we are about to drive our own little buggy smack into a tree.

 

Between 2010 and 2012 America will be forced to decide between restoring herself once again to her constitutional roots, conservative politics and her Christian foundations. That’s a lot to hope for without some kind of national upheaval. Perhaps the twisted and frightening direction the present administration has taken the country will be all that it takes to renew the push toward recovery and no more. Time alone holds that answer.

 

The first fork in the road will appear in the elections of 2010 and if the House and the Senate see a shift to the conservative side then at least balance may be restored for a while. The Dem’s are stepping in line with Obama rather than honestly representing their constituents at the moment and a shift back to conservatism will be a welcomed sign that the people still want representative government and not something slightly short of a dictatorship at worst, or a non-benevolent constitutional monarchy at best.

 

The great fork in the road naturally extends through to 2012 when America must decide something far bigger than the simple question of who will win an election. In 2012 the nation will decide how it will face the calamities that the entire world is about to encounter. The choices of 2012 will affect every man woman and child because if the nation returns to its foundations or its original course it will have to face the rest of the world almost alone. If America retains its sovereignty it will insure its isolation. This is not a bad thing but it will be extremely costly in many ways.

 

Only two scenarios are possible. First, if we stay on our present course we will simply fit into the coming world changes without a hitch or a glitch. We will become an arm of the emerging glob of nations now being formed in the EU. This is not religious hokey pokey and even as America debates its own internal problems the largest political, military and economic block of nations in the history of the world is being formed.

 

The EU has three times our GDP, controls almost fifty percent of the worlds shipping, and has the most stable currency on earth. Now politically joined at the hip with America, these nations have a combination of military clout including nuclear capability that in many areas already exceeds anything America now has but with one huge exception, the EU is located strategically and geographically in the world where huge mobilization efforts are not needed to put force almost anywhere it is needed in short notice.

 

Under the banner of our shared history, the global warming fiasco, NATO treaties and the elusive but eternal quest for world peace we may just jump onboard and ride this train to Armageddon or we could opt to stand as a sovereign nation as we always have. America’s willingness to fly off with every new kid on the block is evidenced by her penchant for pop culture and idle preoccupation with everything new and change just for the sake of change. We are more like the Apostle James’ “a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed” (James 1:6) than a nation haply heading for the brave new world.

 

The second scenario might play out like the elements of the now fairly well known prophecy of our first President.  Said to have occurred during his campaign in Valley Forge, George Washington’s vision of three great portents that will befall America is well known and while its veracity may still be debated the scenario it depicts can, with or without the vision, easily become a fact of history if our present course is not altered.

 

Washington is said to have seen the times of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and then a time much further into the future when we were invaded by a great pact of Eurasian nations and for a while it looked like America would be overcome. America did prevail and was able to drive back the invaders in Washington’s vision, but at great cost.

 

Whether Washington’s vision is true or not is hard to say for sure but the result is very likely if we return to our former state instead of careening down this road of socialism, big government and wholesale and unbridled licentiousness. The Biblical record says that the kingdom that forms in the last days in the same geographical location as the old Roman Empire will not tolerate any nation’s dissent from its purpose to provide a central leadership and an economy for the entire globe.

 

Although most of the world will ignore the prophetic warnings as just the beating of the same old drum the repercussions and the end result will be more like a cannon retort when the world sees it has gone to a place where no recovery is possible. No, all of this does not kick off right at the start of 2010 but more likely it will come into full view at the start of 2012. There will be a time of preparations, posturing, and political shifting. What we decide as a nation will play a major part in the outcome both nationally and globally, but it is a fork in the road unlike any we have ever seen before, or will ever see again.

 

I could lace these warnings with hundreds of scriptural passages that outline the course of events but even that would not be heeded by some. Suffice it to say that for the moment the power of choice is still in our own hands. May God help us to choose wisely?

 

Even though one of the darkest prophecies of those days says the church will lean towards apostasy (falling away) it also promises that a contingent of the faithful will continue to present the gospel of salvation mixed with warnings of nearing judgment. The effort to proclaim the message will be met with fierce resistance but even at the point where it is almost completely snuffed out God faithfully sends yet someone else to give the final warnings.

 

Two special evangelists (Rev 11:1f) who cannot be stopped by any means are engaged for three and one half years to call America and the entire world away from blindly following the newly risen leader of the EU and the world. The two are finally stopped (killed and resurrected before the cameras and seen globally) by the intervention of that leader himself (name yet unknown) but it doesn’t end there.

 

When every mortal messenger has been silenced God yet provides a witness, his love for all mankind goes on calling to all, so none might be lost. I would to God that I could report that everyone will heed the call but that is not the case. In the absence of any terrestrial witnesses God sends a few celestial voices.

 

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Rev 14: 6-7)

 

The judgment spoken of here is not the eternal separation of the sheep and the goats but it is the judgment of nations. The power shift will be permanent and Christ will set his feet on the same place they last rested, yet once again.

 

Don’t worry, we won’t be dodging meteors or trying to stop some guy with 666 tattooed on his scalp in a physical battle in the vestibule of some Catholic church in the Bronx. We won’t be debating how the second coming will take place and you can be sure it is not some all new messiah or one of the choice of religious leaders or founders who did not give his own life for the sheep. (John 10: 1-11)

 

Here is what we will see, but rest assured, this is the short version. The events of the last days take a full seven years to reach their height but Christ himself repeatedly concurred with all of the ancient prophets and the Apostles that it would end exactly like this, “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Mt 24:30)

**Exclusive** Leaked Justice Department Memo: Terrorists To Be Moved to Camp Gitmo Illinois

Hat Tip to Big Government

The Land of Lincoln may still be licking its wounds–and certain real estate transactions–over Chicago’s losing the Olympics to Rio, but the Obama Administration has delivered up a small consolation prize: the state’s very own federal prison for terrorists. Big Government has received  what is claimed to be a leaked DOJ memo that was allegedly sent yesterday from Eric Holder’s Department of Justice to Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Memo below:


Thompson memo

Presumably, the inmates at Guantanamo Bay are there because they are believed to be a threat to national security. How moving them into the United States then is a good idea is beyond our powers of reasoning. While we are well aware of the Corleone advice to keep one’s friend close and enemies closer, we’re pretty certain it wasn’t meant as national security advice.

Check back for further developments. Must credit Big Government.

O'Reilly slams 'Law & Order,' calls Wolf 'despicable'

Bill O'Reilly went after "Law & Order" franchise creator Dick Wolf on Thursday night's "O'Reilly Factor" telecast, calling the producer a "despicable human being" whose veteran TV drama is "out of control."

O'Reilly can certainly say that "L&O" threw the first punch.  

This week's episode of "Law & Order: SVU" featured a character played by John Larroquette talking to a detective and saying, "Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, all of 'em, they are like a cancer spreading ignorance and hate...They've convinced folks that immigrants are the problem, not corporations that fail to pay a living wage or a broken health care system..."

O'Reilly said the clip was "defamatory and outrageous" and played clips from past episodes of his Fox News program that showed the host defending "poor people who only want a better life."

Wolf declined to comment. Here's the segment:

U.N. climate chief cashes in on carbon

Tied to conglomerate that stands to make hundreds of millions in emissions scheme
 

A story emerging out of Britain suggests "follow the money" may explain the enthusiasm of the United Nations to pursue caps on carbon emissions, despite doubts surfacing in the scientific community about the validity of the underlying global warming hypothesis.

A Mumbai-based Indian multinational conglomerate with business ties to Rajendra K. Pachauri, the chairman since 2002 of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, stands to make several hundred million dollars in European Union carbon credits simply by closing a steel production facility in Britain with the loss of 1,700 jobs.

The Tata Group headquartered in Mumbai anticipates receiving windfall profits of up to nearly $2 billion from closing the Corus Redcar steelmaking plant in Britain, with about half of the savings expected to result from cashing in on carbon credits granted the steelmaker by the European Union under the EU's emissions trading scheme, or ETS.

Corus has accumulated 7.5 million European Union surplus carbon allowances, or EUAs, given the company free by the EU, after corporate officials lobbied EU officials aggressively in Brussels.

The Corus-owned 7.5 million EUAs are estimated at up to $650 million; the company also anticipates "saving" 6 million tons of carbon dioxide by closing the plant and not producing the plant's capacity of 3 million tons of steel. The 6 million tons of carbon dioxide is worth an estimated $130 million at current rates and possibly as much as $325 million at expected market levels.

The British government also announced Wednesday it would auction off rather than cancel the millions of carbon permits resulting from the Corus Redcar steel plant closing The Corus Redcar facility is scheduled to be closed in January, and if the facility is to be closed more than 50 days, Corus would not be entitled to receive the permits, worth about $147.5 million per year at current market rates.

How does the closing of a steelmaker in Britain tie to the chairman of the U.N.'s global warming science committee?

In 1974, the TATA Group provided the financial resources to found the Tata Energy Research Institute, or TERI, a policy organization headquartered in New Dehli, India, of which Pachauri has been chairman since the group was formed.

Continued business ties between TERI and TATA are demonstrated by a press announcement on the TERI website dated Feb. 4 in which Jairam Ramesh, the Indian minister of state for commerce and industry as well as minister of state for power, announced a joint venture with TERI and TATA power to extract and use carbon dioxide for the propagation of micro-algae.

On Dec. 10, 2007, Pachauri shared with Al Gore the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming. At the Nobel ceremonies, Pachauri in his Nobel lecture openly represented the U.N.'s IPCC.

The TATA Group decision to close the Corus steelmaking plant has caused the Labour government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown political difficulties. Manufacturing accounted for 22.5 percent of Britain's economic output when Labour came to power in 1997, while it accounts for little more than 11 percent today, according to the London Times.

Arguing that the Brown government needs to provide financial assistance to manufacturing in Britain, Kirby Adams, the chief executive officer of Corus told the newspaper, "Jobs paying £30,000 ($50,000) a year are only in manufacturing sectors or sectors where you are adding value – you are not going to make that flipping burgers."

He added: "In some way I hope that this [decision to close Corus Redcar] will be the final wake-up call or alarm bell to get things across to people in Whitehall and Westminster – we need to help other sectors of the economy, not just the columns of the Bank of England."

In July, thousands of steelworkers marched in Redcar, North Yorks, England, protesting the proposed closing of the Corus steelmaking facility.

The European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading System began operations in January 2005, billing itself as "the largest multi-country, multi-sector Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading system world-wide."

Max Baucus gave girlfriend $14K raise

Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, gave a nearly $14,000 pay raise to a female staffer in 2008, at the time he was becoming romantically involved with her, and later that year took her on a taxpayer-funded trip to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, though foreign policy was not her specialty.

Late last Friday, Baucus acknowledged his relationship with Melodee Hanes, whom he nominated for the job of U.S. attorney in Montana, after it was first reported on the website MainJustice.com. But he said that Hanes withdrew from consideration for the job when the relationship became more serious. The following day, Baucus dismissed calls for an ethics investigation, saying, "I went out of my way to be up and up."

Since his announcement, more details of the relationship have emerged, raising questions about a workplace romance between a boss and employee that Baucus tried to keep quiet, and apparently contradicting his explanation for why Hanes's nomination was withdrawn.

Jodi Rave, a former reporter for the Missoulian revealed over the weekend that the paper informed Baucus in March that it was poised to publish a story about Hanes's relationship with the senator and the fact that he had nominated her for the U.S. attorney job.

The next day, Hanes withdrew from consideration. According to the Missoulian, Baucus's office never acknowledged a relationship between the two, and the paper did not run a story.

Baucus's office said yesterday that while Baucus was aware of Rave's questions, "there were a number of factors that went into Ms. Hanes's decision to withdraw" from consideration for the U.S. attorney post, including that the couple's relationship was "changing."

"These discussions took place before, though around the same time as, the reporter's inquiry," Baucus' office said in a statement. "This, coupled with the fact that they wanted to live together in Washington, led to her withdrawal."

Baucus' office also defended the salary boost for Hanes, saying it was in line with what his other staffers were receiving at the time, and argued that she played an important role on the international trip she took with Baucus.

Baucus separated from his now-ex-wife, Wanda, in March 2008 and moved out of their home. Hanes separated from her husband in April 2008 and moved out in early June. Hanes was divorced from her husband last December, and Baucus was divorced in April 2009. They are now living together on Capitol Hill and began dating in the summer of 2008. Hanes and other staff received their raises in this time period, according to public documents that show payroll breakdowns in six-month increments.

Baucus insists that Hanes was well-qualified for the prosecutor position, and his office released a lengthy résumé detailing her expertise as a prosecutor and in private practice.

Unlike many private corporations, there are no congressional rules barring a lawmaker from having a romantic liaison with an employee. In several cases, members have married staffers. For instance, Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-Ohio) became involved with his wife when she was still his chief of staff. Former Rep. David Bonior (D-Mich.) first hired his wife, Judy, as a staffer and later married her.Former Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) became involved with a House staffer when he was speaker of the House. He later divorced his second wife and married the staffer.

UN Security Stops Journalist's Questions About ClimateGate

Hat tip to Big Government!

by Mike Flynn

A Stanford Professor has used United Nation security officers to silence a journalist asking him “inconvenient questions”  during a press briefing at the climate change conference in Copenhagen.

Professor Stephen Schneider’s assistant requested armed UN security officers who held film maker Phelim McAleer, ordered him to stop filming and prevented further questioning after the press conference where the Stanford academic was launching a book.

McAleer, a veteran journalist and film maker, has recently made a documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong’ which takes a sceptical look at the science and politics behind Global Warming concerns.

He asked Professor Schneider about his opinions on Climategate – where leaked emails have revealed that a senior British professor deleted data and encouraged colleagues to do likewise if it contradicted their belief in Global Warming.

Professor Phil Jones, the head of Britain’s Climate Research Unit, has temporarily stood down pending an investigation into the scandal.

Professor Schneider, who is a senior member of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said he would not comment on emails that may have been incomplete or edited.

During some testy exchanges with McAleer, UN officials and Professor Schneider’s assistants twice tried to cut short McAleer’s question.

However as the press conference drew to a close Professor Schneider’s assistant called armed UN security guards to the room. They held McAleer and aggressively ordered cameraman Ian Foster to stop filming. The guard threatened to take away the camera and expel the film crew from the conference if they did not obey his instructions to stop filming Professor Schneider.

The guard demanded to look at the film crews press credentials and refused to allow them to film until Professor Schneider left the room.
McAleer said he was disappointed by Professor Schneider’s behaviour.

“It was a press conference. Climategate is a major story – it goes to the heart of the Global Warming debate by calling into question the scientific data and the integrity of many scientists involved.”

“These questions should be answered. The attempts by UN officials and Professor Schneider’s assistant to remove my microphone were hamfisted  but events took a more sinister turn when they called an armed UN security officer to silence a journalist.”

Two officers corralled the film crew and one officer can be seen on tape threatening the cameraman. The Guard can also be heard warning that if the crew did not stop filming their would seize the equipment and the journalists expelled from the conference.

McAleer says he has made an official complaint tabout the incident.

“I have met Mr Christopher Ankerson the UN’s head of security for the conference and he has confirmed it was Professor Schneider’s staff who asked the security guards to come corral us at the press conference. Mr Ankerson could not say what grounds the security guard had for ordering us to stop filming.”

“This is a blatant attempt to stop journalists doing journalism and asking hard questions. It is not the job of armed UN security officers to stop legitimate journalists asking legitimate questions of senior members of the UN’s IPCC.”

Professor Schneider was interviewed for McAleer’s “Not Evil Just Wrong” documentary but lawyers later wrote to McAleer saying he was withdrawing permission for the interview to be used.

McAleer, who is from Ireland, has gained quite a reputation for asking difficult questions of those who have been promoting the idea of man-made Global Warming.

His microphone was cut off after he asked former vice-president Al Gore about the British court case which found that An Inconvenient Truth had a nine significant errors and exaggerations. Almost 500,000 people have watched the incident on youtube.

Chai Feldblum, Obama's Highly Controversial EEOC Nominee, Gets Senate Committee Nod

Chai Feldblum Obama's Highly Controversial EEOC Nominee Gets Senate Committee Nod December 11, 2009 – TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty continues to lead the fight against the highly controversial nomination of Chai Feldblum to be a Commissioner at the (EEOC) Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  Hundreds of pro-family groups and individuals signed the letter that Traditional Values Coalition circulated, which was sent to the Senate and media.  TVC's message points, in opposition to Feldblum, are being used by media outlets and other pro-family groups.

As part of her lobby effort, Andrea Lafferty attended the vote on Feldblum late Thursday afternoon, which was no easy feat. Due to the health care debate/votes in the Senate, the vote on Feldblum's nomination was not held in the normal committee room but in a small ornate room directly off of the Senate floor.  Andrea was privileged to be there, as she was the only eyes and ears representing the opposition. 

In spite of voluminous evidence in her writings and speeches, that Feldblum has no respect for religious liberty and advocated for bizarre and culture-altering policies, she was voted out of committee.  President Obama’s   nominee wants to impose her distorted ideology on American businesses, church leaders, parents and even children.

Fortunately, four Republican Senators expressed concerns over Feldblum’s nomination to the EEOC. They were: Sen. Roberts (KS); Sen. Coburn (OK), Sen. Burr (NC); and Sen. Isakson (GA).

Her nomination now moves to the Senate floor where there will be a fight over her confirmation.  There is still time to contact your U.S. Senators to urge them to vote down her confirmation.  (Tell a Friend)

Feldblum’s appointment to the EEOC could be a stepping stone to the Supreme Court where she will serve a life-time appointment. 

TAKE ACTION: Urge your Senators to vote NO on Feldblum to become an EEOC member.

King Harry Reid Continues Disinformation Campaign On Health Care

King Harry Reid Continues Disinformation Campaign On Health CareDecember 11, 2009 – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is continuing to wage a disinformation war against the American public over his nationalized health care plan.

The latest ploy is to pretend that he has reached a “compromise” agreement with moderates over the “public option” – which is government-run socialized medicine. According to the agreement, allegedly reached on Tuesday evening, the public option has been revised to be a program like the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP). This program covers government workers and Members of Congress.

The FEHBP offers private insurance plans, but are under strict government control. The FEHBP costs are rising higher than the national average. Premiums in this plan are expected to rise to 7.9% this year and 8.8% in 2010. In fact, premiums in this government-controlled program are rising so fast that 100,000 federal workers have opted out of the program.

FEHBP members are finding their choices being narrowed, too. Next year, 32 insurance plans will either drop out of the program or reduce their participation.

Jacqueline Simon, public policy director for the American Federation of Government Employees has stated: “We just always want to emphasize that FEHBP shouldn’t be a model for anything except for what not to do.”

Sen. Reid wants to force Americans into a federally-controlled health care system that is collapsing before our eyes.

Americans don’t want Reid’s health care plan. Fox News has just reported on December 11 that 54% of Americans don’t want Congress to do anything on health care reform!

In addition, Reid’s plan forces Americans to get health insurance whether they want it or not. This is clearly unconstitutional, but liberals justify ignoring the principles in the Constitution by claiming a right to mandate insurance under the interstate commerce clause or the power to tax.

The Heritage Foundation held a conference on December 9 to discuss the unconstitutional plan to force Americans to purchase health insurance in Reid’s plan. The federal government has no authority to force Americans to purchase any products. 

Bail Out For Abortion Industry

An effort was made to restrict abortion coverage in the Reid bill, but it was defeated by a 54-45 vote. The amendment had been sponsored by Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT). Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) says he will add something in the manager’s amendment to satisfy Nelson’s concerns. We can’t trust Reid to protect the lives of unborn children.

The amendment would have prohibited abortion coverage in the proposed federal government insurance program, and prohibited subsidizing private insurance plans that cover abortion on demand.

The health care bill is a bailout for the abortion lobby. If the abortion coverage is included, it will benefit Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion industry. Abortions will be contracted out to groups like Planned Parenthood through the health care bill.

Planned Parenthood has an annual budget of more than $1 billion yearly and had an $85 million profit in 2008. It also received $350 million in federal funds in 2007.

Yet, even with all of this money flowing in to Planned Parenthood, it is having financial difficulties, according to a Harvard study. The abortion group is losing affiliates – and thus losing a lucrative income from destroying human babies. It is also losing money on the sale of emergency contraceptives.

Sen. Reid’s health care bill, however, will help solve Planned Parenthood’s financial woes by including abortion as a federally-guaranteed health benefit. Planned Parenthood will be contracted by the federal government to provide abortion services. Thanks to Reid, Planned Parenthood will have an unlimited supply of abortions – paid for by taxpayers.

If abortion coverage is included in any health care bill, it will directly benefit Planned Parenthood’s bottom line.

Reid’s bill will lead to rationing of health care for the elderly, fund abortion, put bureaucrats in charge of medical decisions, raise premiums, gut Medicare, and cost trillions of dollars.

TAKE ACTION: Ask your U.S. Senators to oppose Reid’s health care bill or any other Democrat-sponsored bill that will have the federal government controlling our health care system.

Defense Department Hires Islamist To Teach Soldiers At Ft. Hood!

Defense Department Hires Islamist To Teach Soldiers At Ft. Hood!December 11, 2009 – President Obama’s Department of Defense has hired an Islamist named Louay Safi to teach soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas about Islam before they deploy to Afganistan.

Safi is a top official with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization that has links to Hamas and was named as an unindicted co-conspirator by the Justice Department in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial!

Writing in a 2003 publication, Safi noted: “The war against the apostates [non-believers of Islam] is carried out not to force them to accept Islam, but to enforce the Islamic law and maintain order."

ISNA was founded in 1981 to enable Muslims in the U.S. to “adopt Islam as a complete way of life.” In addition, ISNA is the Muslim Brotherhood’s umbrella organization in America. The Muslim Brotherhood seeks the destruction of American democracy and the imposition of Shariah law!

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a known Hamas front group, includes Louay Safi, a known Muslim Brother -- whose stated objective is to "destroy (America) from within" and wage “civilization jihad” against us -- is giving instruction at Ft. Hood to our troops. In the wake of the jihad against 13 Americans only a few weeks ago at Ft. Hood, this is an outrage. 

The prosecutors in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial in Dallas, Texas last year -- the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history – stated that the HLF was the largest Hamas front in America to date:

"ISNA and NAIT, in fact, shared more with HLF than just a parent organization. They were intimately connected with the HLF and its assigned task of providing financial support to Hamas...The US Muslim Brotherhood created the US Palestinian Committees, which documents reflect were initially comprised of three organizations: the OLF (HLF), the IAP, and the UASR. CAIR was later added to these organizations...the mandate of these organizations, per the International Brotherhood, was to support Hamas." 

“Why on earth would Defense Department officials invite an official of an organization linked to Islamic terrorism to teach American soldiers about Islam,” asked TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. “This is like having an active member of the Nazi Storm Troopers during World War II teach American GIs about National Socialism and Adolf Hitler. This is outrageous and subverts our brave soldiers who are going to war.”

Safi was caught on a 1995 FBI wiretap speaking to Sami al-Arian, the Florida university professor who was convicted of raising funds for terrorist groups overseas. During their conversation, Safi discussed his concern that President Clinton’s executive order prohibiting financial transactions with terrorist groups might impact al-Arian’s work.

Safi should be fired and those who hired him should be reprimanded for permitting him to teach American soldiers about Islam.

No Terror Trials In New York City!

By TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty

No Terror Trials In New York City!December 11, 2009 – Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama Justice Department have decided to try Islamic terrorists captured on the battlefield as common criminals in New York City – blocks from the remains of the World Trade Center.

The decision by the Obama Administration to give these terrorists the same constitutional rights as American citizens is an outrage and a gross miscarriage of true justice. These terrorists should not have access to our civilian court system. 

These are enemy combatants caught in battle and represent no country, but only their violence-based political/military system known as Islam.

They should be tried in a military court as enemies of America and sentenced for their terrorist activities. Those who await sentencing should remain at Guantanamo at the multi-million dollar facility designed to keep the most vicious terrorists on the planet from harming anyone else.

President Obama and Eric Holder are subverting our national security by holding show trials in New York City for these monsters. Obama and Holder are making a mockery of justice. They are bringing untold pain and anger to New Yorkers who will be forced to hear years of legal wrangling by terrorist lawyers who will put America on trial!

Over the weekend, hundreds of angry Americans gathered in New York City to express their outrage at what Obama and Holder are doing.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) are drafting legislation to ban terror trials in civilian courts. Congress and the Senate must pass this legislation to send a strong message of disapproval to Obama and Holder over their terrible decision to give terrorists access to our civilian court system. This legislation has not yet been introduced.

EPA Carbon Decision Will Destroy American Economy

EPA Carbon Decision Will Destroy American EconomyDecember 11, 2009 – This week, the United Nations Copenhagen climate change conference began and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) headed by Lisa Jackson, issued a ruling against carbon dioxide as a dangerous greenhouse gas (GHG).

The EPA decision gives this government agency the power to regulate any business entity in the U.S. that emits carbon dioxide.

However, the Heritage Foundation has estimated that carbon dioxide regulations will create a loss of $7 trillion by 2029 to our nation’s gross domestic product, energy cost increases of 30% or more and annual job losses to exceed 800,000 a year for several years.

“Unless overturned, the EPA decision, which is based on fake statistics, is going to greatly harm our capitalist system,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty.

Jackson’s decision comes just a few weeks after climate scientist emails were posted on the Internet showing that they were faking statistics to push a global warming political agenda. Climate scientists were deliberately adjusting data to hide the decline in global warming over the past decade.

They also deleted raw data so they could avoid having to actually prove their claims.

The Climategate scandal has been widely covered by bloggers and Fox News, but few of the dinosaur media outlets have covered the story.

These unethical scientists are the ones who supply data to the United Nations and their faked data will be used at the Copenhagen conference to justify the takeover of world economies in order to deal with a non-existent crisis. President Obama will attend the conference and will push a globalist agenda.

Lisa Jackson is helping push this global warming fiction along in the United States by her ruling yesterday.

The fact is that there is no credible evidence that climate change is being influenced by industry or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These are simply scare tactics used by globalists to punish industrialized nations with draconian regulations and global taxation.

Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has taken a leadership role over the years in fighting against the global warming crowd. He has been ridiculed as a “climate denier,” but has kept on fighting for the truth. The posting of the climate scientist emails confirms what Inhofe has been saying all along: The data is not credible on global warming and America should not rush headlong into changing its policies or signing climate treaties that will destroy national sovereignty.

EPA Power Overextended

Shortly after Lisa Jackson issued her ruling on carbon dioxide, Sen. Inhofe sent out a press release. In it, he noted: “Obviously the concept of regulating carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act is flawed and the Act must be amended by Congress," Senator Inhofe said. “Today’s notice should concern all lawmakers, no one should want the EPA to exercise the kind of power and authority that the career staff at EPA contemplates.  

“Just last month the United States Senate considered and soundly rejected the climate ‘cap-and-trade’ proposal known as the Lieberman-Warner Bill. It is ironic that the EPA has proposed an even more economically destructive scheme this close to that Bill’s demise. If Congress does not act, then the resulting regulations could be the largest regulatory intrusion into Americans personal lives, a nightmare scenario. Big brother is alive and well in the career ranks at the EPA.”

Earth To Jackson: CO2 Is Not A Pollutant

High School biology students know that CO2 is a building block of life on this planet. Lisa Jackson apparently doesn’t. Here are a few real scientists (not Obama political activists) who actually understand photosynthesis and the role that CO2 plays in our world:

"CO2 is not a pollutant. In simple terms, CO2 is plant food. The green world we see around us would disappear if not for atmospheric CO2. These plants largely evolved at a time when the atmospheric CO2 concentration was many times what it is today. Indeed, numerous studies indicate the present biosphere is being invigorated by the human-induced rise of CO2. In and of itself, therefore, the increasing concentration of CO2 does not pose a toxic risk to the planet." - John R. Christy, Ph.D. Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alabama

"Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but a naturally occurring, beneficial trace gas in the atmosphere. For the past few million years, the Earth has existed in a state of relative carbon dioxide starvation compared with earlier periods. There is no empirical evidence that levels double or even triple those of today will be harmful, climatically or otherwise. As a vital element in plant photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is the basis of the planetary food chain - literally the staff of life. Its increase in the atmosphere leads mainly to the greening of the planet. To label carbon dioxide a "pollutant" is an abuse of language, logic and science." - Robert M. Carter, Ph.D. Professor of Environmental and Earth Sciences, James Cook University

"Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. On the contrary, it makes crops and forests grow faster. Economic analysis has demonstrated that more CO2 and a warmer climate will raise GNP and therefore average income. It's axiomatic that bureaucracies always want to expand their scope of operations. This is especially true of EPA, which is primarily a regulatory agency. As air and water pollution disappear as prime issues, as acid rain and stratospheric-ozone depletion fade from public view, climate change seems like the best growth area for regulators. It has the additional glamour of being international and therefore appeals to those who favor world governance over national sovereignty. Therefore, labeling carbon dioxide, the product of fossil-fuel burning, as a pollutant has a high priority for EPA as a first step in that direction." - S. Fred Singer, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia

"Carbon and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are fundamental for all life on Earth. CO2 is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas. CO2 is product of our breathing, and is used in numerous common applications like fire extinguishers, baking soda, carbonated drinks, life jackets, cooling agent, etc. Plants' photosynthesis consume CO2 from the air when the plants make their carbohydrates, which bring the CO2 back to the air again when the plants rot or are being burned." - Tom V. Segalstad, Ph.D. Professor of Environmental Geology, University of Oslo

"To suddenly label CO2 as a "pollutant" is a disservice to a gas that has played an enormous role in the development and sustainability of all life on this wonderful Earth. Mother Earth has clearly ruled that CO2 is not a pollutant." - Robert C. Balling Jr., Ph.D. Professor of Climatology, Arizona State University
