My experiences with Rosa Parks: A Great and Humble lady
Leaving a client on a hospital visit last night, I heard the breaking news that Rosa Parks had died. Her name was known to me since her nationally publicized Montgomery, Alabama bus arrest. That was on December 1, 1955. I was only 11 years old at that time. In 1963 Rosa Parks and her husband moved from the deep and still segregated South to Detroit which in many ways wasn't all that much better. I moved to Detroit in the fall of 1965. In 1967 race riots plagued and shamed Detroit. After the riots, many of us Detroiters vowed 'never again.' Like many of my peers, I involved myself in local and state politics. I got to know many interesting people. I was eventually hired to work for the Michigan House of Representatives. State Representative who later became State Senator Jack Faxon gave me my first political job. I was kicked upstairs from the job as his secretary to become a "legislative analyst" -- my primary duties were those of speechwriting for the House Democratic caucus. I got to know people on both sides of the political aisle, including Grand Rapids RepublicanTom Ford. Tom was the brother of who would become President Gerald Ford.
I aspired to go to law school and Lansing had none. Therefore, I sought ways to get back to the Detroit area and the opportunity appeared when I was offered the new Highland Park, Michigan charter position as "Executive Assistant to the Mayor." My experiences in that job were as unhappy as my job in Lansing had been happy. I started law school, however, in 1972 and graduated in 1975. I was bluntly unhappy at having been placed in what appeared to be a corrupt administration. My unhappiness was publicly known. After finishing senior year final law school exams, my husband, Barry, and I took a month long driving tour of the South. Then I returned for graduation exercises and prepared to study for the bar which I successfully took in early August of 1975. While awaiting the results, I was contacted by a prominent Highland Park lady, who was backing a competitive candidate for mayor. I agreed to manage the campaign of her candidate. This was also a successful effort and the former mayor was upset and unseated in November of 1975. During the campaign, I obtained the assistance of the local congressman, John Conyers. He agreed to help and would encourage participation of his own supporters. One such supporter was Rosa Parks. Many local unions (UAW, AFL-CIO) also helped.
Our campaign was long and vigorous. Needless to say, I was motivated. While campaigning, as time honored inner city practice dictated, we visited the local churches. We were in Grace Baptist Church, approximately one block from Highland Park City Hall. The long Sunday Morning service was in progress. I was harried and tired from the incredibly long hours on the effort. I was sitting in the long Baptist service, struggling to keep awake when suddenly I felt some tugging on my clothing. I looked and behind me was Rosa Parks, needle and thread in hand. She had noticed my hem was partially loose and she was in her usual kind and gentle manner, restitching the hem. I have never forgotten that -- it was typical and vintage Rosa Parks. In addition to being brave, she was selfless.
May she rest in peace! I am honored to have fond personal memories of her.

I don't often agree with Sojourners, but this time, I think I might
WAR ON THE POOR - SOJOURNERS AT THE COUNTER-ATTACK -- HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS RESPOND?
I just opened one of those form email solicitations. This one was from Sojourners. Frequently I have found myself at odds with just about everything coming from that organization and its magazine. Both are too often anti-Israel, pro-New Age, pro-Matthew Fox, pro-Rosemary Ruether, and New World Order of the leftist variety. The New Agers have no trouble counting them among their networks, although their former head vigorously denied it in a letter to me in 1983, demanding that I keep the contents private. Obviously, he lacked legal education. He had no expectation of privacy in a letter sent to another unless he was sending it to me in a privileged capacity, i.e., me as his lawyer. That letter will be among the items turned over to the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan for archiving.
However, today I found myself nodding my head in agreement to one of their initiatives. Assuming the facts as they stated them were correct, and given my history with Sojourners, that can be a BIG ASSUMPTION, a moral wrong is being waged against the poor of this country. As the bankruptcy laws tighten, the poor, including but not limited to medically indigent, are left with distressingly few options. A few scriptures come to mind, including but not limited to Matthew 25 and admonitions to turn not to the left hand, nor to the right, but strictly in the paths of the Lord. Today, Sojourners said it as I would say it and here republish verbatim the emailed solicitation:
»Call Congress today, and click here to tell your friends and spread the word!Just weeks after Hurricane Katrina exposed the crisis of poverty in America, Congress will debate as early as Wednesday how much money should be cut from the budgets of health care, nutrition assistance, and other vital services for poor and working families. That's right, they will cut funds - and the question is by how much. Perhaps equally astonishing, they will decide how much - up to $70 billion - they will cut taxes for the richest people in America. In Washington, this may be business as usual, but as people of faith, we believe that budgets are moral documents, and so far this budget is morally bankrupt.
We have a short amount of time to make a big difference, and we need your voice now!
1) Call Congress now. Tell them to get their priorities straight!
(800) 426-8073 (Toll-free courtesy of American Friends Service Committee)
Speak up for those who cannot speak. - Proverbs 31:8
Ask to speak to one of the senators from your state. When the senator's phone is answered, say politely: "My name is _____, and I live in [your town/city]. As a person of faith, I would like Senator [name] to oppose budget cuts to Medicaid, Food Stamps, and other vital services, and to oppose more tax cuts for the very rich. Needs of poor families should be a moral priority at this time, not tax cuts for the wealthy.”
After you're done, please call your other senator, followed by your representative.*
2) Tell 10 friends now!
The success of this call-in day will depend on how many people call their senators and members of Congress. Congress does listen to what their constituents think, so after you call, please tell your friends, family, pastor - anyone who shares your concern for restoring just budget priorities - about this call-in day!**

Many in Congress claim that Hurricane Katrina has driven congressional spending and budgets out of control, and that sweeping cuts to vital social services are justified because of these increases. This claim couldn't be further from the truth.
Fiction : Government spending is dangerously high.
Fact: Even with new Katrina funds, federal spending as a percentage of the economy is below the 30-year average. Arguments like these are driven by an ideological determination to shrink government, not reality.
Fiction : Deficits are spinning out of control because of reckless spending and new Katrina relief.
Fact : The root of the problem of skyrocketing deficits is new tax cuts for the very wealthy, not new spending. For the past three years, tax revenues as a percentage of the economy are at a 30-year low. Nevertheless, many in Congress will stop at nothing to enact new tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. Between now and 2010, the cost of the Bush tax cuts (if extended) will total $1.7 trillion. Katrina relief - even when you amount interest costs, is projected at $240 billion - less than 15% of what the tax cuts will cost. And yet there is momentum behind a plan this year to add an additional $70 billion in new tax cuts - mostly for the very wealthy. Simply put, this plan is out of touch with our values.
I do believe I'm inclined to make those calls to my Senators and Congressman. You might want to consider doing likewise. Just pray for wisdom to avoid all their Sojourners New Age stuff and left wing New Age Movement networking and solutions. They are there!

Supporting documentation on Club of Rome history
This is an insider's sympathetic history of the Club of Rome. Like many, he sees it in altruistic terms only, but as to names, dates, places, he has much to say. The author was a member of the Canadian chapter of that organization.
Prince Hassan, the Club of Rome, Lucis Trust and the New World Order
THE CLUB OF ROME -- PAST AND PRESENT. HOW MUCH DOES PRINCE HASSAN REALLY KNOW? WOULD HE CARE?
Working with the University of Michigan on their Bentley Historical Library archival project of my life's work, I have had fresh occasion to view my basement library of books I assembled in the early 1980s on New Age Movement related issues. Among them was an earlier Club of Rome volume: RIO - Reshaping the International Order. It was a published report to the Club of Rome published in cooperation with the Foundation Reshaping the International Order (RIO). It made me speculate on how much the 1974 participants must have smiled in 1992 at having a city named "Rio" as in a city named Rio [de Janeiro] be the launch pad of much delayed earlier RIO (Reshaping the International Order) efforts. On November 4, 1981, when I personally heard him, Benjamin Crème bragged that there was an international group of approximately 70 industrialists, financiers, and scholars. They were drawing up 'blueprints' for 'how the world should be run' after the new 'Christ' made his reappearance. He was not referring to a Jesus revival. He was instead referring to whoever and whatever their their so-called "Maitreya" This "Maitreya" was, per Creme, and his enthusiastic New Age supporters, one 'greater than Jesus' who would assume the role that Krishnamurti had failed to claim -- that of "Great World Teacher."
His description was very, very close to that of the Club of Rome. Moreover, one of the Club of Rome's very active scholars was Donald Keys. Keys was an administrator of Lucis Trust, working actively with Alice and Foster Bailey. Lest we forget, Lucis Trust was an after named entity created by the Bailey's. After they had organized their first publishing company -- Lucifer Publishing Company. In 1924 they renamed it a somewhat less startling "Lucis Publishing" and subsidiary organizations that would be known as "Lucis Trust", "World Goodwill", the "Arcane School", and Triangles. All were intensely involved in disseminating directions for the New World Order. They were particularly concerned with a warm global reception for this "Maitreya" and the New World Religion which would help enable him. One does not have to be a Rhodes or Fulbright scholar to see how closely those directions were followed. One strong global name that has appeared from the beginning and shows up at Findhorn for rallies on acceptance of this "Maitreya" is Maurice Strong. High up in the United Nations, Kofi Annan was allegedly one of his mentored ones. From time to time, Javier Solana's published agendas show he meets with him.
Interestingly, given the little Javier Solana chose to tell us of his background in his very sort published curriculum vitae, included his Club of Rome affiliation.
Come 2005, Jordan's Prince Hassan, a brother to the former King Hussein and uncle to Jordan's King Abdullah is running the Club of Rome. Yesterday, he returned from a ten day trip to the USA. His final stop was the Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. He called for inter-generational dialogue, inter-border dialogue, and of course, religious cooperation. Unfortunately, the religious dialogue the Club of Rome has sought over the years has been the same type of "New World Religion" as that called for by fellow Club of Rome member, Donald Keys. It is a syncretistic, pantheistic religion where ultimately Jehovah rather than Lucifer is their devil.
I do not know if Prince Hassan was chosen to be the head of the Club of Rome because that was his personal conviction. He was appointed "under the patronage of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain" in the year 2000, replacing another Spaniard, Ricardo Diez-Hochleitner, who remains in a position of leadership with the advocacy/thinktank organization. I rather suspect he was chosen because he was a royal with sufficient personal resources to allow him to travel and had access to global influentials. A short smiling man, he would clearly be perceived as a "man of good will". It is hard to say "no" to nice guys and Prince Hassan clearly comes across as one.
Oh, and by the way, Old Dominion University, presented the Club of Rome head with another honorary degree while he was there -- a doctorate in "humane letters." Let's further hope that if Prince Hassan is really a man of goodwill that he will read the fine print coming from the pens such as Donald Keys, of those who helped establish the Club of Rome -- that it was to be part of the effort to as their popular "Great Invocation" reads -- "seal the door where evil dwells," e.g. meaning that Jerusalem stood for nothing except for that which was dead and deserved to pass away -- 'three dead and gone religions' -- Jews, Christians, and Moslems.
Then maybe he should go as a multi-degreed 'man of letters' and look up Peter LeMesurier's "The Armageddon Script." There he will learn that in addition to 'dialogue' and uniting the various world religions, that the balance of the script called for pitting all remaining orthodox against each other in a grand religious war where there would be 'mutual venting of long pent up frustrations". That, per LeMesurier, would be their final step in grand plans to reduce world population and get rid of stubborn orthodoxies -- all who resist the upside down New Age plans for a "New World Order."
Watching these folks maneuver over the past nearly 25 years that I have been watching has been very interesting. It still is! As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback.

"OUR GLOBAL NEIGHBORHOOD"
Considering the totality of circumstances of Javier Solana's ten day public rise to global power in November, 1995, a rereading of "Our Global Neighborhood: The Report of The Commission on Global Governance" (1995) is EXTREMELY INTERESTING. For a fun exercise, take the names of the various commission members and do google.com searches in tandem with "Javier Solana."
I just discovered a brilliant blogspot with inside scoops on much that is happening
Check out http://diplomadic.blogspot.com/. I just discovered it doing a google.com surf using the terms "Javier Solana" "Earth Summit" "1992". There are priceless insights. I am just starting to explore that spot, but I think you, my readers, might want to explore it with me. I will value your reactions. He was discussing "the cult of global warming", something I have long noticed. That is, I noticed it appearing after "the cult of global cooling" with books by so many of the same New Age authors was "cooling down" so to speak. I always thought it humorous that the week the NGO's, UN officials, and country representatives went to Rio for the "Earth Summit" where they produced "Agenda 21" that there was unprecedented chilling at the very time set to discuss "global warming." Although it was just about Memorial Day in the United States, the start of our summer season, as I recall, we had snow flakes during that time. God has a way of showing who's boss! At any rate, I have a busy day before me, so check it out and prepare to both laugh and cry while reading it. I plan to place a link to the site on my blogspot. The author refers to himself as "Diplomad".
A few brief words -- personal notes
So much has happened. The last week has been a very mixed one for me. Michael and LaMelva Eubanks outdid themselves putting together a great conference. Herb Peters and I shared a platform for the first time. The audience was both enthusiastic and informed. I had to leave that conference at Southfield's beautiful Embassy Suites Hotel to make a sad journel to Fort Wayne, Indiana to say my final goodbyes to my sister Linda. After a four year battle with cancer, she passed last Tuesday. Family viewing was Sunday and the funeral and Linda's "last hurrah" at the lovely home husband, Dr. Barth Ragatz, and Linda shared was held. I was thrilled to learn that Linda had made peace with God and died fully trusting in Jesus.
The Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan has been archiving my work. Their acquisitions director will be at my home in the morning to map out a strategy to physically remove 25 years of paperwork. They have already archived what spilled over to my office, but the meat of my collection spanning 25 years of research on the New Age Movement resides in my home. I will be so happy to have it moved. That means we can finally reorganize and redecorate.
Condition wise, our home is probably 1/3 of what we moved into when we purchased it in 1984. The assessor thinks it is 3 times the house we bought! That increase is certainly only on paper. With wheelchair traffic and my research, you can imagine the condition of carpeting. Frankly, I am inclined to let nobody in until it is redecorated. I have been saying that for the past 12 years!
But, considering the misery one sees with Katrina victims, Pakistan, New Hampshire and New Jersey flood victims, I am more than thankful to have a dry roof over our head, even if that roof needs redoing, which it does!
Pray for me. Pray for the Katrina, Pakistan, New Hampshire, and New Jersey folk as well. It has been a stressful month -- it has been a stressful year. Michigan is not going through a recession. Given the outsourcing of everything, it feels far more like a depression. The "New World Order" has not been kind to at least the American economy. Turbulent times seem to be the order of the day for much of the world and we all need God's grace to make it through.

To Russia and back with love - 4,100,000 Solana google hits and growing!
Is Javier Solana going away? With 4,100,000 Google.com Hits and growing, it doesn’t look that way![1] Anyway, it looks like Russia is clearly on his side!
Recently a British journalistic observer noted that “Javier Solana had lost the spring in his step.” Because of the German and Dutch referendum defeats, combined with the withdrawal of England’s planned constitutional referendum, it looked, per that journalist at least, like Javier Solana would never realize his dream of becoming the EU Foreign Minister.
Maybe that journalist was right. Maybe not. Most likely he was not!
In many ways, particularly to American observers, Javier Solana looks like “the invisible man.” For all the powers he has amassed, there are no books about him. He seldom appears on the front pages of USA papers. For those tuned into internet news (or if low tech, watching BBC news) it should be a different story, provided they went on the web for academic rather than entertainment purposes.
When I started observing the ubiquitous Dr. Solana back on November 22, 1995, there was a paucity of information about him. He had just signed a Treaty of Association with Israel on behalf of the European Union. He was getting ready to chair the first Barcelona Conference which opened with an anti-clerical salvo on November 27, 1995. It ended on November 28th with Israeli and Palestinian Union leaders (Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat) proclaiming they had ‘beaten their swords into ploughshares.’ Two days after all of this, Javier Solana was named the new dark horse surprise head of NATO. The European presses proclaimed “Solana Squares NATO’s Circle.” The astonished Spanish press noted that had any Madrid resident predicted this five years earlier, he would have been promptly ‘locked up as a lunatic.” Javier Solana was the well known leader of public NATO resistance.
In 1995, Alta Vista rather than Google was the predominant internet search engine. Dial up connections rather than broadband were the norm for most systems. I found precious little information about him back in those days, but just about every day I found something.
Today the hits are more frequent. Solana’s more public phase appears to be in full swing. Today there were 4,100,000 google.com hits! Clearly, he does not appear to be going away!
I am writing this from my law office, taking a small evening break. As I compose, I just saw his face flash before me on the 6 p.m. Public Broadcast Systems rebroadcast of BBC news. He was in attendance at an EU-Russia summit. He did not look depressed. The spring was definitely back in his step!
Perhaps that is because of the position Russia has recently enunciated through its lead diplomats that they desire a “strong European Union” which should speak with “One Strong Voice.” [2]
And, just about simultaneous with that Russian diplomat’s remark, Javier Solana said that European and Russian relations ‘never grown faster’! Read about that here: [3]
I wonder just who the former Soviets had in mind as the “One Strong Voice”? Could it be a former Marxist who was on the USA’s subversive list for many years? At any rate, the smile is back on Javier Solana’s face and the spring appears once again in his step. Could it be? Just wondering! This weekend, California columnist Herb Peters and I are scheduled to speak on the same platform for the first time. Given the events of the week, this should be an interesting weekend to “stay tuned.” Click the link to his site for details if you are in or can get to the Detroit area. Things are getting very interesting!
As usual, I invite and welcome your comments. That’s the best part of this public blogging process!

Do Pat Robertson and Hugo Chávez have more in common than meets the eye?
PAT ROBERTSON, HUGO CHAVEZ, AND JAVIER SOLANA ALL SEEM TO HAVE BIG PLANS FOR JERUSALEM! ARE THEY PERHAPS SHARED PLANS?
About a month ago, Pat Robertson generated headlines by his call for the assassination of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chávez. Today President Chávez generated his own headlines by calling for the UN to move from the United States, possibly to Jerusalem. Chávez said in his speech that others had suggested this alternative as well.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/15/AR2005091502620_pf.html
That was of particular interest to me on many fronts, not the least of which was the Pat Robertson one itself. Pat Robertson has been on my personal radar for many years for his own outrageous claims that he would “televise the Second Coming from the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem”.[1] I noted in my second book, A PLANNED DECEPTION, that this certainly matched no scriptural description of our Lord’s return. However, it did match with specificity, Alice Ann Bailey’s THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY descriptions of their new age counterfeit of this event:
"He is now waiting to descend. This descent into our unhappy world of men can present Him with no alluring picture. From the quiet mountain retreat where He has waited, guided and watched over humanity, and where He has trained His disciples, initiates and the new group of world servers, He must come forth and take His place prominently on the world stage, and take His part in the great drama which is there being played. This time, He will play His part, not in obscurity as He previously did, but before the eyes of the entire world. Because of the smallness of our little planet, and because of the prevalence of the radio, television and the rapidity of communication, His part will be watched by all, and the prospect must surely, for Him, hold certain horror, must present its tests and major adjustments, plus painful and unavoidable experience. He does not come as the omnipotent God of man's ignorant creation, but as the Christ, the Founder of the Kingdom of God on Earth, to complete the work He started, and again to demonstrate divinity in far more difficult circumstances."
Pasted from <http://laluni.helloyou.ws/netnews/bk/externalisation/exte1261.html>
"His coming in the air might be interpreted literally to mean that at the right time He will come by plane from the place on earth where He has been for many generations, watching over the sons of men; the words [576] "every eye shall see Him" might mean that, by the time He comes, television will have been perfected and He will then be seen, by its means, from even the most distant spot on earth. To the orthodox Christian, the above will sound like the rankest blasphemy, but the question immediately arises: Why should it be blasphemy for Him to use modern methods?"
Pasted from <http://laluni.helloyou.ws/netnews/bk/externalisation/exte1247.html>
Well, it does seem that lots of people plan to get together very soon in Jerusalem! Javier Solana to “make permanent peace”; Pat Robertson to televise “the Second Coming”; and prominent UN’ers, perhaps Hugo Chávez, among them for a form of world government seated there.
Peter LeMesurier wrote a book called THE ARMAGEDDON SCRIPT. He called for staging a phony coming of Christ, from the Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem, to satisfy certain archetypal expectations and discharge the possibility of unexpected fulfillment at a less convenient time. His book inspired the title of my second 1985 book, A PLANNED DECEPTION: THE STAGING OF A NEW AGE MESSIAH. He concluded his book by saying that “their script is now written, subject only to last minute editing and stage direction . . . down in the pit, the subterranean orchestra is already tuning up.”
What is happening is smelling more and more like, “The Armageddon Script.” Will we be smart enough to see through it? Was this a serious fight between Robertson and Chavez -- or are they all players in a possible "Armageddon Script"? Our Lord said there would be deception enough even for the elect? It certainly seems to be shaping up.
As usual, your comments are valued. What do you think?

P.S. September 20, 2005: Sarah Leslie and Jewel Grewe (formerly known as Jewel VanderMerwe) have launched a most important and informative new blogspot. They call it "herescope". It has already answered some questions for me about ugly evangelical opposition I received starting in 1982 and continue to receive via Hexham and Johnson to this day. I rather suspect my early work on the New Age Movement upset a lot of little "evangelical" cum "New Age" applecarts. I knew about the Evangelical - Jeremy Rifkin interactions. I did not know about the Evangelical - Willis Harman interacting. Jewel and Sarah have brought this out quite cogently on their new blogspot and I thank them for it!

Solana - more to China with love from EU
JAVIER SOLANA FORGING AHEAD ON EU DECISION TO LIFT ARMS BAN TO CHINA
China and Russia recently engaged in joint maneuvers designed "to send a message to the United States". One of my very recent blogs discussed this. USA attention is, of course, focused on the very terrible Gulf coast tragedy which has all but destroyed New Orleans. Javier Solana issues congratulations and condolences to just about everybody for anything. I have yet to see a word of sympathy from his quarters for the terrible disaster. Even Venezuela's Chavez made offers to send oil and food.
But nevertheless, Javier Solana has been, as usual, very busy. What has he been busy with? Among other things, the Gaza strip, Iran and China.
One may be certain that he did not view with distress a recent call from a major Iranian paper in a country that decidedly does not have a free press, that Iran should cease bargaining over their nuclear issues with France, Germany, and Great Britain. They should negotiate, said the paper, solely with Solana because he alone represents all 25 EU countries! Undoubtedly, that paper was giving the official Iranian government line.
Next, Solana is forging ahead with his controversial plans to lift the arms ban on China. According to a news posted today:
BRUSSELS : The European Union reassured China that it was pressing ahead with plans to lift a 15-year-old arms embargo on Beijing despite a storm sparked by its anti-secession law targeting Taiwan. EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said the controversial law, which authorizes the use of force if Taipei moves towards independence, had caused "complicated atmospherics" around the debate over the EU arms ban. But the EU plans remain on track, he said after talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing in Brussels. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/137950/1/.html
Vintage Solana double talk. "Complicated atmospherics"? Severe hurricanes can have names other than "Katrina" -- maybe "Solana"?
As Herb Peters says it, "stay tuned." As usual, I invite your comments.

Pray for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida
It now appears that the United States has experienced its own type of sorts of tsunami via Hurricane Katrina. The hurricane season is, unfortunately, far from over. I have spoken many times over the years in the New Orleans area, including suburbs of Kenner, Slidell and Metairie. Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Florida, are also areas where I have spent quality time in past years; Biloxi, Mississippi, Gulfport; and sections near Mobile appear to have also been hard hit. My husband and I vacationed there immediately after I completed law school in 1975 and they were still recovering from 1969's Camille.
It is distressing to watch the human toll this disaster has taken. It is unknown if New Orleans will be even salvageable. I saw the other day that Venezuela's Chavez had offered emergency oil and food to America in our disaster. I don't know what his motives might have been, but my posted response on Yahoo was let's take him up on his offer and say "Thank you!"
Earthquakes were mentioned by Jesus as a sign of apocalyptic times. So was "upon the seas, distress of nations." The tsunami and Katrina, inter alia, are very sobering signs.
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!

What was Pat Robertson's Real Agenda?
WAS IT TO STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY OR (MORE LIKELY) WAS IT TO WEAKEN THE GOSPEL?
Revised and amplified Sunday morning, August 28, 2005
Those of you who have followed my work against the New Age Movement over the years, particularly those who read my second book, A PLANNED DECEPTION, know that the word on the New Age Movement got out absolutely no thanks to Pat Robertson. He was the most vigorous opponent of my efforts. He finally released a book, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, purporting to be anti-New Age, but in reality was closer to anti-Semitic and quoting favorably some incredibly mixed New Age, anti-Jewish sources, such as Eustace Mullins. In case you are surprised by my statement that Eustace Mullins is New Age, just look at his book, MY LIFE IN CHRIST. There he professes his beliefs in 'ascended masters,' 'Aquarian Age,', etc., etc. Robertson's book itself gave a distinctly visible "international Jew" message -- the old line that they were in effect the masters of magic and money. Alice Bailey herself gave this message in her book, THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY. Alice Bailey was the co-founder, with her husband Foster, of Lucifer Publishing Company, and the later founded Lucis Publishing Company and Lucis Trust in New York City.
Incredibly, the Robertson work, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, even directly copied one of my statements commenting on Benjamin Creme's advertisement ran in 25 major papers proclaiming "the Christ is now here". To add insult to injury, that book attributed my statement to Benjamin Creme, the most visible proponent of 'the Christ is now here crowd,' those proclaiming that Maitreya and not Jesus is the Christ.
Pat Robertson so often has has vigorously proclaimed that when the bible said,'every eye shall behold him,' it mean "on television." That certainly didn't match scripture, but it did match Alice Bailey's, THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY, which said when it was time for the 'new Christ' to make his appearance, the prophecy 'every eye shall behold him would be interpreted to mean that he could be seen from even the most remote parts of earth by television.
I figured if Bro. Robertson had the nerve to say it, I had the nerve to quote him. He wrote a letter, sending it to my seldom used post office box that was so self-serving, I didn't even bother to answer it. He sent it approximately three more times over the next ten years. Then he falsely through associates put out disinformation saying I had called him "the antichrist" (I did not, but I certainly drew well-grounded parallels between what he was saying and the Alice Bailey crowd had written.) Numerous magazines then repeated his false statements claiming I had retracted statements I made against him after Robertson threatened me with a lawsuit. Pat Robertson's letter did threaten me with a lawsuit, but I was not frightened of it, nor did I retract anything -- what I had said was the easily documentable truth and I stood by it. In the United States of America, at least so far, truth is an absolute defense to any charge of slander or libel.
An organizer of the Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel, a Washington, D.C. area event that annually coincided with National Religious Broadcasters events there, contacted me in Brighton, Colorado where I had gone for Denver area speaking engagements in April 1986. He said he had a strange experience with Pat Robertson he could not make heads nor tails of until he read my chapter on him in A PLANNED DECEPTION. Pat Robertson had been the event's keynote speaker in 1986. The organizer had been cornered by Liberty Lobby people at the beginning of the event demanding he tell them if he knew who they were. "I don't know who you are, but I sure don't like your spirit", he replied. Per this man who was also seated at the head table, the Liberty Lobby crowd occupied three tables in the center of the hall for the Robertson speech Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel event.
In the middle of his speech Robertson stopped and said, "today Israel forced down an Egyptian jetliner and it turns out there were no terrorists aboard, only innocent civilians, which goes to prove nobody is infallible." My informant, the event organizer, said, "given the context of the event it was a strange statement. There was dead silence. Nobody applauded save the three tables of Liberty Lobby - Spotlight Magazine activists. They jumped to their feet, whistled, cheered and gave Pat Robertson a standing ovation. Robertson was looking right at them when he made the statement. I'm convinced he sent them a deliberate signal."
I was not convinced of that until the next year. That was when Liberty Lobby sent somebody to me to talk me out of my opposition to their work. The somebody they sent was Cornelius Vanderbreggen, the man who had allegedly led Pat Robertson to the Lord. Inter alia, he told me of his fervent belief of the truth of the virulently anti-Jewish, THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION. This was the man who Robertson left Dede Robertson in late stages of her second pregnancy to join for 40 days in the wilderness at an InterVarsity summer camp.
Shocked participants in the Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel whom I showed the Pat Robertson and Liberty Lobby materials featuring Cornelius Vanderbreggen soon brought Harald Bredesen to me. He was the person whom the alleged prophecy regarding Robertson, "for I have chosen you to usher in the coming of my son" came through. Bredesen told me he had never met Vanderbreggen. I went to dinner with Washington, D.C. area friends. I asked nobody to go to the Liberty Lobby hospitality suite for me at the NRB convention headquarters in the Sheraton Hotel where Vanderbreggen was giving a talk on "Israel and the Bible." A Campus Crusade for Christ representative who was studying some of these things on his own got curious and went to the event. He reported to me and author Joseph Carr the next morning what he had seen -- Bredesen and Vanderbreggen walked around through the suite talking about their old times and exploits together. Then Bredesen told those gathered what a big hero he had been for delaying my book's (THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW) publication for six months by forcing Huntington House to come up with $25,000 to buy out his interests. That was exactly what had happened and I knew about it at the time, but so many things were happening so fast in my life at the point that I had frankly forgotten about it until that reminder. Bill Keith, the former Louisiana state senator who then headed Huntington House, my publisher had informed me back in December 1982.
I remember chatting the next morning after that revelation with Joseph Carr. He said, "well, Connie, what do you think we should do about it?" I said, "I don't know, Joe, what do you think?" "Personally," said Joe, "I think we should go shout it from the housetops."
Now Pat Robertson has so very imprudently called for the assassination of the head of a sovereign country called Venezuela. I personally know Pat Robertson is probably far closer to New Ager than orthodox Christianity. But who is getting blamed for it? Honest, hard working Christian ministers of the Gospel. Read about it here.

Just as your guess as to the antichrist's identity is as good as mine, so is your guess as to the false prophet's identity. My best educated guess at the moment is Pat Robertson, at least it's appearing to me more and more that he's at least a very strong wannabe. Maybe getting the gospel message kicked out of Venezuela was his real agenda. I don't know. I for one would like to know. He'll probably get Christians blamed for increased gas and oil prices, as well, should Venezuela further tighten their market as a result of these scary statements.
May the Lord help us all!
Revised and amplified Sunday morning, August 28, 2005
Those of you who have followed my work against the New Age Movement over the years, particularly those who read my second book, A PLANNED DECEPTION, know that the word on the New Age Movement got out absolutely no thanks to Pat Robertson. He was the most vigorous opponent of my efforts. He finally released a book, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, purporting to be anti-New Age, but in reality was closer to anti-Semitic and quoting favorably some incredibly mixed New Age, anti-Jewish sources, such as Eustace Mullins. In case you are surprised by my statement that Eustace Mullins is New Age, just look at his book, MY LIFE IN CHRIST. There he professes his beliefs in 'ascended masters,' 'Aquarian Age,', etc., etc. Robertson's book itself gave a distinctly visible "international Jew" message -- the old line that they were in effect the masters of magic and money. Alice Bailey herself gave this message in her book, THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY. Alice Bailey was the co-founder, with her husband Foster, of Lucifer Publishing Company, and the later founded Lucis Publishing Company and Lucis Trust in New York City.
Incredibly, the Robertson work, THE NEW WORLD ORDER, even directly copied one of my statements commenting on Benjamin Creme's advertisement ran in 25 major papers proclaiming "the Christ is now here". To add insult to injury, that book attributed my statement to Benjamin Creme, the most visible proponent of 'the Christ is now here crowd,' those proclaiming that Maitreya and not Jesus is the Christ.
Pat Robertson so often has has vigorously proclaimed that when the bible said,'every eye shall behold him,' it mean "on television." That certainly didn't match scripture, but it did match Alice Bailey's, THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY, which said when it was time for the 'new Christ' to make his appearance, the prophecy 'every eye shall behold him would be interpreted to mean that he could be seen from even the most remote parts of earth by television.
I figured if Bro. Robertson had the nerve to say it, I had the nerve to quote him. He wrote a letter, sending it to my seldom used post office box that was so self-serving, I didn't even bother to answer it. He sent it approximately three more times over the next ten years. Then he falsely through associates put out disinformation saying I had called him "the antichrist" (I did not, but I certainly drew well-grounded parallels between what he was saying and the Alice Bailey crowd had written.) Numerous magazines then repeated his false statements claiming I had retracted statements I made against him after Robertson threatened me with a lawsuit. Pat Robertson's letter did threaten me with a lawsuit, but I was not frightened of it, nor did I retract anything -- what I had said was the easily documentable truth and I stood by it. In the United States of America, at least so far, truth is an absolute defense to any charge of slander or libel.
An organizer of the Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel, a Washington, D.C. area event that annually coincided with National Religious Broadcasters events there, contacted me in Brighton, Colorado where I had gone for Denver area speaking engagements in April 1986. He said he had a strange experience with Pat Robertson he could not make heads nor tails of until he read my chapter on him in A PLANNED DECEPTION. Pat Robertson had been the event's keynote speaker in 1986. The organizer had been cornered by Liberty Lobby people at the beginning of the event demanding he tell them if he knew who they were. "I don't know who you are, but I sure don't like your spirit", he replied. Per this man who was also seated at the head table, the Liberty Lobby crowd occupied three tables in the center of the hall for the Robertson speech Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel event.
In the middle of his speech Robertson stopped and said, "today Israel forced down an Egyptian jetliner and it turns out there were no terrorists aboard, only innocent civilians, which goes to prove nobody is infallible." My informant, the event organizer, said, "given the context of the event it was a strange statement. There was dead silence. Nobody applauded save the three tables of Liberty Lobby - Spotlight Magazine activists. They jumped to their feet, whistled, cheered and gave Pat Robertson a standing ovation. Robertson was looking right at them when he made the statement. I'm convinced he sent them a deliberate signal."
I was not convinced of that until the next year. That was when Liberty Lobby sent somebody to me to talk me out of my opposition to their work. The somebody they sent was Cornelius Vanderbreggen, the man who had allegedly led Pat Robertson to the Lord. Inter alia, he told me of his fervent belief of the truth of the virulently anti-Jewish, THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION. This was the man who Robertson left Dede Robertson in late stages of her second pregnancy to join for 40 days in the wilderness at an InterVarsity summer camp.
Shocked participants in the Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel whom I showed the Pat Robertson and Liberty Lobby materials featuring Cornelius Vanderbreggen soon brought Harald Bredesen to me. He was the person whom the alleged prophecy regarding Robertson, "for I have chosen you to usher in the coming of my son" came through. Bredesen told me he had never met Vanderbreggen.

Is the old 'Cold War' reheating?
Russia and China in joint war games -- Where is the EU?
WHAT TIME IS IT?
I have been involved in a very intense case that continues. 'War Games' are probably familiar turf for any trial and/or family lawyer. I am both. This morning I saw a headline that looked right out of the 1950's:
"Russia, China in first joint war games"
For those of you wishing to read the article, the link may be reached by clicking on the top headline of this blog. The headline is from a Mideast Source, Aljazeera, http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/43E1FC17-6934-4A0D-9C72-C67A41756123.htm. This is starting to sound like practice games for Armageddon in a more literal than figurative sense of the word.
According to the Aljazeera news service report, this joint exercise is called "Peace Mission 2005." The main target is the United States.
China has been prospering in no small part with USA dollars. The EU has, as I have noted in several past blogs searchable on my archives on this blogspot, has been actively considering lifting its ban against selling weaponry to China. Now it appears that Russia, long time at odds with its far eastern ideological counterpart, is trying to make money by selling weaponry to China as well.
I think it is a real and horrible possibility that the European Union is handing power to Javier Solana to equalize itself with the United States. There is an interesting passage in the biblical Book of Revelation. It concerns the destruction of a powerful global Babylon. Those at sea bewail her destruction, whatever and whoever "she" is. They say in effect, "now who's going to buy our merchandise?"
The EU's Javier Solana has long said that "the plan is to use NATO assets with European control of those assets." A powerful Solana predecessor and mentor, Jacques Santer has long called for the EU to dislodge the USA as a competing superpower in the 'coming struggle for global resources in the 21st Century.'
If we are taking as true the prophesied biblical timeline of 3 1/2 years for the reign of the global despot commonly called by Christians the anti-Christ who is also the prophesied figure of Daniel who breaks a reconfirmed seven year treaty with Israel halfway through its term, a possibility is that China may not particularly like having its best market for its merchandise interfered with. If this is the case, a possible fulfillment of the Revelation Armageddon/Megiddo passage of the beast and his armies fighting an army of 200 million men suddenly seems much more plausible.
Speaking of that part of the world, Javier Solana and allies, including James Wolfensohn have been very busy removing nearly 40 year old Jewish settlements from a part of Israel known to all as the Gaza Strip. The EU's Solana has been recently busy preparing Iraq for European hegemony via its judicial and law administration systems. It appears that Iran is busy setting up potential nuclear devices and having shot our wad on Iraq's phantom non-existent 'weapons of mass destruction' weaponry, there is little we can actually do to stop it.
There is an interesting Isaiah prophecy concerning this Babylon, whoever and whatever she is. I personally believe that a city in Iraq is NOT the fulfillment -- it is more likely a global superpower. It goes like this: "I will stir up the Medes against them who regard not silver and as for gold, they delight not in it."
So many times in ancient biblical days, the accounts are that God used alien, hostile nations to resurrect the basic truth that our only security is in Him. There are also passages that all written must be fulfilled. If one or both of these are going down, I am not prepared to say. It looks remarkably similar on so many fronts now that things are, as the New Agers might say, "harmonically converging." It even looks like their New Age prophesied "Maitreya," could be in New Age vernacular, "emerging."
Jesus compared end time events to "birth pangs." What characterizes such? They come closer together with increasing and deepening intensity. There have been times that looked like such before, i.e. World War I, World War II. New Agers such as Marilyn Ferguson have long since written of their planned global agendas that what distinguishes this time from past non-successful times is that global communications have encircled the globe beyond any possibility of retreat. She may be right.
I don't know if this is the time or not, but I do know this. If God is ready, we'd better be. The sky is clouding and it's starting to rain. It's time to get our spiritual houses in order and by the grace of God, "climb on that ark." As the tsunami disaster that ushered in 2005 attests, destruction can come speedily.
That time may well be here. I personally pray I am ready.

Mad Hatter Tea Party at Wikipedia - Through the Looking Glass
Through the Looking Glass at Wikipedia's Mad Hatter Tea Party - The "Information Age" or "The Controlled Information Age" -- You be the Judge!
I have had an exceptionally busy month as a lawyer, 'putting out fires' for various family law clients. Law basically, stripped of its TV glamor, is a profession where one assumes the migraine headaches of others while simultaneously retaining all of one's own. I've assumed many migraines while retaining each and every one of my own in the last month. Hence, its not that nothing newsworthy is happening -- but I don't have the George Soros or any other foundation backing me. Like the rest of you, I have to work. I 'quit my day job' for seven years between 1982 and 1989 to educate the world on the fundamentals of the New Age Movement.
I am working on the items I described on my comments section. I am happy to see that the section is functioning as a sort of public bulletin board for some very asute observers. I will be releasing a very heavy article very soon about a variety of compelling recent developments -- in and out of the European Union. Things are happening so fast now on so many fronts -- sometimes hard to digest it all. A referee at Oakland County's Friend of the Court used the acronym TMI to summarize it: too much information.
There are, however, other places, such as Wikipedia that purport to give information that seek to censor, manage and control the news by what they call a 'democratic process.' I for one would more accurately characterize it as a sort of gang rape. As usual, our 'very good friend, Squeakbox' is a rabid and enthusiastic participant -- and he gets away with it with a little help from his online friends. I found the following dialogue this morning on the site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Javier_Solana
Recommendation 666 was in fact written and authored by Dr. Solana, that is as concrete of a factual fact as you can get. It is not some creation on a neoconservative baptist's website, it is on the official website of the Assembly of the WEU. To remove an edit that simply links to an official government document on the WEU's website is absolutely censorship, despite what you think was democracy. Fact isn't decided by what the majority thinks, fact is decided by fact. And the fact in this matter is, whether you like it or not, Recommendation 666 is a real government document, created by Dr. Solana, and is on the official website of the Assembly of the WEU. Simply linking that document in his entry in and of itself is completely acceptable. Anything less would be playing the dillusional game of 'lets create our own reality' - one that I'm confident you are bright enough not to play. <---unsigned comment from User:Gump
Gump, your edits to Michael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2 show unambigously that you are a vandal and a bad faith editor. Including some practically random recommendation document just because the number gives you a thrill is unencyclopaedic and will not be tolerated by good faith editors. Based on your supposed logic, why not include recommendation 665 and recommendation 667 (or which ever other ones Solana wrote), etc.? So go away and leave it alone, or you will quickly find yourself banned...your behaviour on other pages alone is already sufficient justification. Fawcett5 14:54, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
Can Gump apologise here for his outrageous assertion about thinking he is in Nazi Germany. He is creating a very rank atmosphere here with his rash assertions, which is not conducive to a collaborative effort on this article, plus it can be construed as a personal attack against the editors of this article, SqueakBox 16:25, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
When I realised what he'd been up to on other articles, I decided to block Gump for twelve hours to give him a chance to cool off and reflect on whether he wants to contribute to Wikipedia or just vandalize and troll. --Tony SidawayTalk 16:51, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
Wow Tony, you're so brilliant, I'm so impressed with your ability to go to an admin page that does all the hard work for you. I make two edits to Michael Moore (just to see what happens) then suddenly every other logical argument I ever make afterwards is null and void. Way to divert the issue by pointing your finger at something else other than taking on the issue at hand. Thus is human nature, to point at something else when confronted directly with truth. Of course my two edits to Michael Moore were stupid (was supposed to be one, but when I hit refresh on my browser it did the same thing again), but can you think beyond that in any capacity? And Squeakbox, I have no apology for using Nazi Germany as an example, because guess what? Now that I've been 'banned' for 12 hours, been called a troll, and have only had 'then use 665 and 667' thrown at me as a defense, I'm confident that I will be now be deemed irritating enough to be banned completely for such an 'outrageous assertion' - despite my starting this entire 'truce' section on my own free will, engaging in challenging conversation, and by adding a simple link to a page on the European Union - not fundie - website. So go ahead, be a dictator and censor me right up, create your own reality, just the way you want it to be. But until then, that page exists whether you like it or not. p.s. I don't think Solana is the antichrist, and 99.9999% of people don't think so either. Recommendation 666 is highly important though, because in an 'emergency situation', all authority is handed over to ONE person....which is ironic and could serve useful to a FUTURE person in power....but whatever, that came from a fundie website right? Oh wait....it didn't. User:Gump
Pasted from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Javier_Solana>
Now, I have facts that need summarizing and posting, but why entrust it to the Wikipedia crew? Already I find I am choosing my words carefully so as not to enflame the more self-righteous members of that instrument. (My more reckless impulse was to use the words of Jesus, "cast not thy pearls before swine.) Soon, I will be writing about on this site:
1. Javier Solana's CV portrayal of his marriage as one burdened only by his schedule when in reality (at least per the European Voice), he and his wife "called it quits" in 1995 and Solana asked his friends for help in arranging a brand new social life for him when he moved to Brussels;
2. Why does Solana seem to receive such elaborate grants of additional power just about every November 20th? What happened on November 20th that might have made it worthy of commemoration? Franco (called only by Solana and family 'The Dictator') is one likely possibility. Franco died November 20th, 1995.
3. Why did Solana, then a publicly active Marxist, have access to Spain's King Juan Carlos at least as early as May 20th, 1977, two months before Solana was elected to the Spanish parliament as a representative of the teacher's union?
As usual, your comments are welcome and solicited. Enjoy your day and as my good friend, Herb Peters says, "Stay tuned."

London bombings and aftermath
With Deepest Condolences to our London readers
This is July 7, 2005. London, England has been hit with what appears to be a variation on our 9-11 of September 11, 2001. There are explosions and power outages in the London subway system coming at the height of rush hour. Chaos and confusion reigns. This came as London was celebrating being designated yesterday the site of the 2012 Olympics. It also comes at at time when the G-8 is meeting in Scotland. What role the European Union will play in the cleanup, investigation, and future security is probably even now being determined.
We are certain it will be swift. Emergency police powers were granted the SG/HR (Secretary General/High Representative) of the CFSP (Common Foreign and Security Policy) by treaty at Nice, France in December 2000. These were originally proposed by him, Javier Solana with his Assembly Recommendation 666, on June 5, 2000. What role he will play and the impact on the situation is most likely still in formation, but all may be certain they are coming.
Our prayers are certainly with all affected and their families. I will be giving a closer analysis on this in the days to come and comments and analyses of readers are certainly encouraged in the comments section.

Javier Solana's tea party or was it a Coffee klatch?
JAVIER SOLANA CONVENES HIS 'SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVES' - SERVES COFFEE TO PRESS
TO INTRODUCE HIS CHOSEN EMISSARIES
Recently Javier Solana has issued a general invitation to the world’s press to come to coffee on June 29th at his offices in the EU's Justus Lipsius building in Brussels, Belgium. He has convened his diplomatic corps and those combining diplomatic with military hats such as Paddy Ashdowne for an apparent in-house motivational seminar. I don’t know how much British blood Solana has (he is clearly a quarter Scottish on his maternal grandmother’s side), but he clearly seems to be keeping a stiff upper lip. His remarks to his diplomatic corps are already posted on Solana’s own website. The website today also features an invitation to the media to come meet Solana’s diplomatic team:
"The European Union Special Representatives will gather on Wednesday 29 June for a seminar in Brussels. The seminar will provide the Special Representatives with an opportunity to discuss their work and to share their experiences. The EU High Representative will introduce the seminar with a few remarks. At this event, the first of its kind, the media is invited for a coffee meeting with all the EU Special Representatives at 14h45. The Special Representatives will be available for individual talks with journalists. The meeting will take place in the Justus Lipsius building press bar. "[1]
Solana’s words indicate he is giving his diplomatic corps (Special Representatives) a pep talk on how much the world is depending on a strong, confident Europe.
In the meantime, Solana pushes ahead full throttle with his growing European army. He has recruited soldiers from Chile and Argentina. He has signed a treaty with the Ukraine, “allowing” them to participate in EU peacekeeping and military operations. His chief cabinet officer for the military end of Solana’s duties is Nick Witney. It is sometimes alternatively spelled in the press as “Nick Whitney” as was the case with the Herald-Tribune yesterday.[2] Solana and Witney speak of having a ‘leaner’ EU military; however, the budget has grown much fatter since I released my latest version of my CD – from 165 billion Euros to now 180 Billion Euros for a total of $218 billion United States dollars equivalent. Considering that package along with Javier Solana’s long time statements that “the plan is to use NATO assets with European control of those assets”, we have a very formidable potential package for Dr. Solana.
But of course, since its all for ‘peacekeeping,’ nobody has to to worry. Or do we? As usual, I value your comments. Enjoy what is left of your day!

I was offline for a few days, but now I'm back -- Sorry!
I'M STILL HERE -- RESEARCHING HEAVILY AND WRITING TOO -- NOT TO MENTION PRACTICING LAW AND KEEPING UP WITH MY FAMILY!
I've been offline a few days. I've been busy with my law practice. I've also updated my PowerPoint Show Presentation on Javier Solana. The disk is compatible with all versions of MicroSoft Windows Version 98, second edition or beyond (ME, 2000, XP Home and XP Pro). This is what has been added:
--Commentary on Solana's latest moves to structure a justice system for Iraq (EUJUST Lex). This is significant because it involves training all Iraqi judiciary, policemen, and administrators of that system. What more would I need to control a country? How much do you want to bet he will end up with the oil as well as the police and judiciary?
--Javier Solana has signed agreements with Argentina and Chile to send soldiers to his EU army. Query: What ever happened to the Monroe Doctrine? Is anybody in Washington watching? Does anybody care?
--Commentary on the coming evacuation of the Gaza strip by Israeli settlers.
--Material on Javier Solana's mother, Nieves Mathews, and her 'teacher,' Osho, better known to Americans as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
I did an "AskJeeves" (also Ask.com) search on Javier Solana today. I was surprised to see my own name, "Constance Cumbey" come up as THE related search. I clicked on that and the first reference was to a repeated lie Squeakbox has posted there attributing Reston, Virginia postings to me. He continues boldly and without substantiation to say that I visit there from time to time and post from there. I finally looked the area up on a map. I see that Reston, Virginia is the home of Dulles International Airport. I did ONCE in 1984 board a plane from Dulles to go to California for a speaking engagement. The internet didn't exist, to the best of my knowledge, in 1984. Maybe SqueakBox thinks I did it in a "different incarnation" -- we will wait with bated breath for his explanation -- but I doubt if he will make one. The favorite technique of those frantically trying to prevent honest dissemination of information on the New Age Movement (for the last 24 years in my experience) and now about what is transpiring with the EU's Javier Solana is to employ a big lie technique. Maybe I am being uncharitable. Squeakbox once recounted that he had suffered a closed head injury from a machete' attack in the jungles of his Central American home.
At any rate, I will watch with interest to see his response here, or more likely, he will continue to defame me with his fictitious allegations all over the internet. It is hard to say which is of more concern to him: his "I love Javier Solana" postings or his "I hate Constance Cumbey" ones!
I am working up a detailed article. If the demand is not too great, I can continue mailing my disk. One favor -- if you get a disk, don't tell your friends to write for their own. You are perfectly free and invited to burn a copy for them. I have placed my non-profit, educational work on this subject in the public domain. If and when I finish the book I have been working on since 1995, that might be a very different story, but the disk, you are free to copy and pass on!
To obtain the disk while my very limited resources still permit, email me with your name, mailing address at cumbey@yahoo.com.
Enjoy your summer weekend. I plan to! As usual, comments are welcome and invited.

Javier Solana -- Our man in Baghdad?
Post EU Constitution Rejection -- Our man in Baghdad? – Just What exactly is Javier Solana doing there? Why are we supporting it or is he supporting us? Is 'Barcelona' the payback?
Many of you have my educational, public domain CD Rom on Javier Solana. I opened it with commentary on the three pivotal meetings held in June of 2004 which would firm the role of the EU’s Barcelona Process in the Middle Peace Process. I wrote that the reason for this was that the USA was obviously in trouble over Iraq. The EU would lend us its support – but for a price. The price was USA concurrence in the EU’s Barcelona Process using its various Treaties of Association between the Mideast countries. The one with Israel was signed in Brussels by the EU’s Javier Solana and Israel’s Shimon Peres. This happened on November 20, 1995. Two days later, the largest earthquake in Israel’s history rocked that region. Epicentered at Eilat, it registered, per the US Geological Service, 7.2 on their measuring scale. Those of you who have my disk have viewed the actual S and P waves for that quake with an even larger 7.3 mw reading from the Ontario Earthquake Research Center. Only one week after the treaty with Israel was signed and five days after that momentous quake, Javier Solana opened the Barcelona Conference. His opening words targeted Catholics and the 1095 crusade called by Pope Urban II.
The Barcelona Conference had three agenda items per the preliminary news releases: (1) Battle religious fundamentalism – worldwide; (2) Favorable mutual trading terms for the basin “partners;” and (3) Get the USA out of the Mediterranean.
Two days after Solana achieved his treaty and the Barcelona Conference ended, he was unanimously, to the utter surprise of the Spanish press, made the new Secretary General of NATO. He was best known back home as the country’s leading opponent to NATO! He stayed on the NATO job approximately 3 years and 9 months. He left his 4 year NATO appointment a little early -- to take new posts as the Secretary General of the European Union, and the Office of the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Approximately 6 weeks after taking the new posts he was also handed whatever military command of Europe was not handed him in the CFSP post -- by being given control of the ten nation Western European Union, a military federation.
While still at NATO, Solana was given unusual powers by its constituent nations. He was given the sole say-so over whether Yugoslavia would be bombed or not. "Solana has the power and has had it since January 30th [1999] said Madeleine Albright. We are speaking with one voice through Javier Solana." When President Clinton went on American television the night of March 21, 1999 to tell the American public the bombing was about to begin, he said, "I agree with Javier Solana's decision to do this." Nobody, to my knowledge, in the popular media, ever asked, "who's Javier Solana." Pope John Paul II and Eastern Orthodox Patriarch Alexiye were rebuffed in their requests to have the bombing halt 'between the two Easters' so that they could mediate a settlement. Instead, a civilian train was bombed during that same time frame.
Now we fast forward to 2005 -- and we are coming up on the tenth anniversary of Barcelona.
We heard a lot in the past year about the EU’s role in the Middle East Peace Process. We heard relatively little about its role in Iraq. Now that is coming out of the closet as well. So is “global governance”. 2005 is planned as its make or break year. The UN’s 60th anniversary is per Gareth Evans a perfect time to act.
As in June 2004, there were significant conferences, the situation is likewise for 2005. The G-8 appears to be firming up a global redistribution process at the strong urging of co-Progressive Governance member, Tony Blair.[1] The European Union is hosting a “Donor’s Conference for Iraq.” Javier Solana was in Iraq this weekend meeting with Iraqi officials. Looking cynically at the situation, under the guise of “rescuing the USA in Iraq” with a quid pro quo of USA deferral to EU aims in the “Greater European Neighbourhood” which includes Israel, the Palestinian Union and Jordan, it appears that the EU just might pick up the oil we coveted as well. This would take it a long way towards achieving Jacques Santer’s adopted urging the EU to dislodge the USA as a global superpower in the 21st struggle for resources. I suspect Javier Solana’s recent call for merging of all EU military resources immediately won’t hurt that cause either.
Javier Solana looked so depressed after the EU constitution was voted down in France and Holland in the past two weeks that I almost felt sorry for him. A day or two later he was shown in jubilant mood with James Wolfensohn, outgoing World Bank president. Wolfensohn will now be serving as a special envoy to the Middle East by the “United States and its major allies.” He is to oversee the Israeli transfer to Palestinian Union. Troubled times are expected. I was especially concerned to see announcements that a known First Earth Battalion[2] tactic was possibly set for use against Israeli settlers reluctant to surrender their homes and property: “The Screamer.” Its proponents admit its long terms effects on victims are unknown. For current information on the First Earth Battalion and its current influence in government, read Jon Ronson's THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS.
Now Solana's dejection appears to be short lived. He appears to be recovered and back in full gear. Moreover, it looks as though the French rejection may have been advantageous to Solana's long term plans. A European Union think tank, TEPSA Friends Report[3] contains a statement from a self-confident observer, one Cécile Barbier that Tony Blair was the first to say he would hold a referendum. It was to Tony Blair’s advantage to have the French go first as Blair was certain the constitutional issue would be defeated in any British referendum. By having the French go first, Blair was off an embarrassing hook. The observers said Tony Blair was hoping the French would vote NO so he could suspend the referendum in the UK.[4]
Now for the Iraq part. Quoting a recent CNN story:
Thursday, a group of European Union members was in Baghdad, marking the first such high-level delegation visit to the country since the ouster of dictator Saddam Hussein. Javier Solana, the EU's top foreign policy official, and Britain's Foreign Secretary Jack Straw met with Iraqi officials to prepare for an international conference on Iraq. The EU and the United States are co-sponsors of the conference that will have "three main issues -- one that is related to politics in general. The second related to security, and the third related to what we may call rule of law," Solana said. The conference will be in Brussels, Belgium, on June 22. Solana said the delegation was meeting with "everybody," including government leaders and Sunni officials who "are not part of the mainstream of the political system." "We would like very much to see them incorporated. It will not be a successful transition without the participation of everybody," he said.[5]
A few days ago on Public Broadcast Television, a leading financial commentator came forward and warned the American public that they should not gloat over the voting down of the EU constitution by France and Holland. “The United States government needs and supports a strong Europe,” the speaker said. “Although the constitution is going down, there are parts that must and will be salvaged. They are the external diplomatic corps and the Foreign Minister.”
Now the Donor’s Conference is being held. Horrible weapons are being planned for use against reluctant to leave Israeli Gaza Strip residents. Javier Solana is making plans for the seven year renewal from 2007 to 2013 of his Treaty of Association with Israel and other “Greater European Neighbourhood” parties. The G-8 is doing what Benjamin Crème’s Share International has called for years – global redistribution – with strings attached, of course. The European Space Agency and USA “Homeland Security” are on track for radical changes in personal identification and personal tracking – by 2008.
It doesn’t appear to me that Javier Solana is going down. It looks to me like he might just be getting started – and so far, unfortunately, it appears that the USA is his partner, albeit a sucker one.
As usual, I hope I have read the situation wrong. As usual, I value your comments.
[1] The Progressive Governance Movement appears to be working closely with two institutes of higher learning: The New York University School of Law which provided the forum for “Progressive Governance in the 21st Century.” Interestingly recorded on page 666 of Sidney Blumenthal’s The Clinton Wars, the party held in their Villa La Pietra on November 20th, 1999, the same day Javier Solana was handed control of the 10 nation Western European Union. The other institute of higher learning is the London School of Economics. The Centre for the Study of Global Governance’s Study Group are usually chaired by Professor Mary Kaldor, clearly for the benefit and at the request of Javier Solana. A Brussels International Crisis Group director, Gareth Evans (also a former Australian foreign minister and now head of a Brussels centered think tank) , released a widely publicized paper, 2005: MAKE OR BREAK FOR GLOBAL GOVERNANCE.

An openly "New Age operation with planned allegiances to "Person/Planet" rather than to Nation State, they pioneered a number of bizarre techniques that were employed per Jon Ronson, author of the new THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS, in such diverse operations as Waco and Abu Ghraib. Now it appears that hapless Israeli settlers in the Gaza strip are about to be the recipients of their planetary pioneering!

EU Constitution goes down - Javier Solana still stands
THE EU CONSTITUTION IS GOING DOWN - JAVIER MAY SURVIVE!
Update as of June 4, 2005: Because of the importance of the subject and the continuing activity on the comments page, I have not given into the temptation to post a new blog -- but I just found the attached blogspot that has vital insights on what is happening in Europe -- the Democratic deficit. You Herb Peters fans might find this especially interesting. I did!
http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/002094.html
The EU Constitution is going down. French and Dutch voters have resoundingly defeated it. After the French defeat, the British announced their referendum would be "called off" if it did not pass in Holland. Similar to his pronouncement last year to Israel's Ariel Sharon that "like it or not, the EU is on board," Javier Solana now tells European Union countries the same thing -- like it or not, there will be a common EU diplomatic service. There will be a common military sharing all countries' resources alike.
I thoroughly read the proposed EU constitution. In short, it was heavily weighted power-wise in favor of the Foreign Ministry position. Solana requested and got a designation for that position a little more than 11 months ago, at the end of June, 2004. He has been proceeding with speed on building his cabinet.
What now? Javier Solana, in my studied opinion, desperately wanted the Constitution to be ratified. As I read him and it, he wanted it more to give himself legitimacy in his expanded new powers. He already has the powers by virtue of Section 666 of the EUROPA documents, Recommendation 666 introduced by him in the Western European Assembly and made the treatied law of Europe in December 2004 at the Nice Conference. He completely controls the Western European Union and is still Secretary General of the European Union. He is still the Office of the High Representative of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. He alone has the keys to the Galileo European Space Agency Project designed to be fully operational by 2008. In all of this he has enormous clout and resources at his disposal.
The European meeting is coming up this month. The EU-USA summit is also coming up this month. It will be hosted by President Bush at the White House. Before going, Solana will most likely tell the EU member heads that he needs full and even expanded powers to deal with the USA top leadership as a peer. As they have done for the past ten years, they will again most likely cooperate with Javier Solana. As I see it, he has had expanded powers since taking his EU job in September of 1999 and near full powers after receiving the WEU -- a ten nation military federation -- on or about November 20, 1999.
The Euro is decreasing in value against the dollar. It is being widely reported in the press and popular TV media that Europe is now "in crisis." Will the defeat of the Constitution make Solana go away? Probably not. It now appears to me that denied his popular vote legitmacy that speaking metaphorically we may now have a wounded and angry beast on our hands.
The next few weeks should be very interesting -- and possibly perilous. As my good friend Herb Peters puts it, 'stay tuned.' As usual, I value your comments!

Update as of June 4, 2005: Because of the importance of the subject and the continuing activity on the comments page, I have not given into the temptation to post a new blog -- but I just found the attached blogspot that has vital insights on what is happening in Europe -- the Democratic deficit. You Herb Peters fans might find this especially interesting. I did!

The EU Constitution is going down. French and Dutch voters have resoundingly defeated it. After the French defeat, the British announced their referendum would be "called off" if it did not pass in Holland. Similar to his pronouncement last year to Israel's Ariel Sharon that "like it or not, the EU is on board," Javier Solana now tells European Union countries the same thing -- like it or not, there will be a common EU diplomatic service. There will be a common military sharing all countries' resources alike.
I thoroughly read the proposed EU constitution. In short, it was heavily weighted power-wise in favor of the Foreign Ministry position. Solana requested and got a designation for that position a little more than 11 months ago, at the end of June, 2004. He has been proceeding with speed on building his cabinet.

"Europe should pool its defence resources"
Javier Solana – finally coming out of the EU ‘Peacekeeping’ Closet?
The London Financial Times has just posted an article by Javier Solana.[1] Modestly entitled “Europe should pool its defence resources”, it calls for each and every European country to immediately pool their resources. Such resources total 160 billion Euros or in US dollar terms $201 billion.
Says Solana, “[T]he scale of the transformation required is huge. A radical shift of investment must be made . . . We need the equipment and technology to allow peacekeeping troops to be rapidly deployed . . . We need the intelligence capabilities to understand what is happening on the ground . . . and communications for effective command and control. . . The logic of pursuing transformation as a collaborative venture is both operational and economic. Europe’s crisis management operations will be multinational; it makes no sense for each contingent to have incompatible equipment. Pooling resources on research, technology development and the acquisition and maintenance of equipment is the only way our armed forces will get interoperable equipment at a price they can afford . .”
Oh, and about his “American partners”, what does Uncle Javier say?
“That is how the second part of the EDA’s mandate can be achieved: the strengthening of Europe’s defence technology and industrial base to compete effectively on a global basis with US defence companies . . .”
That’s right folks – COMPETE – NOT COOPERATE.
Wonder what he’s doing with all those lovely post-911 aerial photos of American military and industrial installations as the NATO planes patrolled our skies? Please go to the archives and see my blogspot of April 17th. [2]
Sorry as usual to be the bearer of bad tidings, but a military machine such as he is describing is obviously for far more than “peacekeeping” – it is an indescribable instrument for war-making!
May the Lord help us all!

Interesting forerunners
Solana, John Buchan's novel, the European Union and 'the Ashoka Nine'
Interesting claims, interesting forerunners
In researching some of the ties and similarities of vision, I have made some intriguing finds -- I am still following up on this, but the vision propelling the European Union may in part be traced to some of the more exotic New Age beliefs of "The Ashoka 9". I first read of this theory in doing my original 1981 work on the New Age Movement. It was detailed in a book by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known as "OSHO." I AM THE GATE was the title to this work. I note cynically that Rajneesh/Osho didn't say to where. Javier Solana is daily less bashfully claiming heightened powers he is expected to hold very soon over Europe and even beyond. For sure, based on his writings, he is as the New Agers say, "thinking globally, acting locally." Of the position he has carved out for himself under the expected new constitution, he writes for Global Agenda Magazine:
Finally, the Constitution foresees the creation of an EU External Action Service. This will bring together staff from different institutions that today shape and implement the EU’s foreign policies. For the first time Europe will have a single team working under one roof and answerable to one person responsible for the full range of EU external relations. http://www.globalagendamagazine.com/2005/javiersolana.asp
This is sobering enough. But it becomes even more interesting when one considers that Solana's mother's personal "teacher" was one and the same as the Indian guru who gave all of Oregon, USA such a fright in the 1980s. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh first took over the town of Antelope, Oregon and nearly took over Madras, Oregon as well. He renamed the first as Rajneeshpuram. He then constructed crematoriums with bleacher seats. He armed the town's police force with more weapons than the entire state of Oregon. This alarmed even a normally sympathetic to Rajneesh, Yoga Instructors Journal. Finally, his subordinates injected salmonella poisoning in the neighboring hostile communities' water supply. Only then was he finally deported. Fleeing deportation, he flew with his private plane to Spain, relying on promises that he could have residency there. This was during a time when Solana was spokesman for the Spanish government. I am surmising, but one possibility is that the promises were given by those with access to Solana and then revoked, when it was clear that Rajneesh was the international embarrassment he had become in 1987, the promise was not kept. Rajneesh expressed great disgust about this in his bio. Solana's mother's 1996 book, however, still refers affectionately to Osho and reported that he had urged her to write her book on the life of Sir Francis Bacon and had blessed her efforts.
What was so terribly of interest in Rajneesh's book was that he proclaimed the New Age would see the positive re-emergence of the swastika as a symbol. He also talked of a secret history involving human history and "the Ashoka Nine." According to Rajneesh, Krishnamurti, the Theosophical candidate between 1910 and 1929 to be the long awaited "Maitreya the Christ" was completely suitable for the job. Rajneesh mourned that nobody knew why he didn't take it, but when he declined, the Ashoka Nine then turned to Adolfus Hitler. The reason Hitler didn't make it, per Rajneesh, obviously ignoring the divine intervention, was that Hitler got to thinking he was bigger than the Ashoka nine. Now, per Rajneesh, there is somebody new in the wings.
In writing my 1983 released HIDDEN DANGERS, I consulted several books dealing with the Nazis and the occult. One was the Jean-Michel Angebert book, THE OCCULT AND THE THIRD REICH which I am presently rereading and redigesting. Another was Pauwels and Bergiers THE MORNING OF THE MAGICIANS. Interesting internet analyses have been done on that book. One frequent blogspot contributor is Terry who hosts a conspiracy related website. He made reference to that book recently on my comments page. As I told him, I was familiar with the work, but frankly considered the Angebert work superior. However, that is not to say that THE MORNING OF THE MAGICIANS is without value. Au contraire, there are great insights to be had there into the mindset of those who would revisit that not-so-blessed morning upon us. Another interesting weblink contains a 10 year old essay on Morning of the Magicians by R. T. Gault. He makes reference to writers Talbot Mundy, "The Nine Unknown" and unnervingly to John Buchan's THE POWER HOUSE. The full link may be found by clicking on the "Interesting Forerunners" heading to this blogspot article.
"… in which the hero has an unnerving conversation with a conspirator in a group of "extra-social intelligences" -- idealists who are going to make a new world. The story is from 1910, and the ideas expressed sound uncomfortably like Nazism. [Buchan is best known as the father of the modern spy novel, but was a loyal servant of the late British Empire, serving as Governor General of Canada for a while. He expressed some of the same fear of new fascist groups in his The Three Hostages, 1924.]
While your guess as to who Rajneesh's new candidate for "Maitreya"/Betraya or whatever his name is supposed to be is as good as mine, could it possibly be Rajneesh student Nieves Mathew's younger son? When one considers that Buchan was a family friend and correspondent of a prominent Theosophical allied grandfather of one of Javier Solana's greatest on-line fans, one calling the relatively short man, "Solana, A Giant Among Men", one who has posted to this very board, one is given pause indeed. The New Agers might call it "synchronicity," Christians might call it "revelation" -- others might call it a coincidence. Once again, I don't know, but would love to find out!
As always, I invite all comments.

Repost - Lost in Phelps Shuffle
EU ADVICE AND PROTECTION FOR ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN GREATER EUROPEAN NEIGHBORHOOD-- AREN'T THEY LUCKY?!
Dear Readers:
This is a very quick repost. This was posted yesterday and then I noticed the sad rantings of the Eric Jon Phelps crowd not liking having their obvious New Age Movement connections uncovered. As they then proceeded on their own BBS to pronounce even Your Truly a "Jesuit Coadjutor", I humorously took advantage of that both to show the ludicrousness of their position and to simultaneously warn Catholics of New Age and New Age Disinformation moles within their own camps. So, that article may be accessed (and publicly commented upon) by clicking on the archived articles for 5-8-2005 (May 8, 2005) as the Americans count dates. In the meantime, one of the most important articles I have posted and am now reposting for those not familiar with accessing the archives, I am reposting.
The following article I had posted before discovering that little bit of apparent demonic confusion, had importance that I did not want overlooked in the Phelps' shuffle. Therefore, I am reposting it below. It assumes even more importance in light of certain pacts the EU's Javier Solana negotiated and signed with Russia yesterday. As there are now public discussions in the very Russian press itself about the potential importance to Russia of joining the European Union, I felt that the spotlight (sunshine?) needed to be regrouped on that. The prophetic implications should be obvious. http://en.rian.ru/analysis/20050511/39965304.html

Javier Solana has recently announced the the EU is sending police advisers to the Palestinian Union. It is not the first such operation for the European Union.
http://ue.eu.int/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/EN/declarations/84603.pdf
http://mandela.inwent.org/ef/military/matthiessen.htm
Javier Solana continues to build his cabinet. He also has a large bureaucracy serving himself and his cabinet. He also has a very large budget. I reported 26 billion Euros on the Wikipedia article of which I was the primary author -- at least until SqueakBox did the butcher job. However, Chris Patten in a speech reported his External Affairs budget was something like 70 billion Euros. Since Javier Solana has long since succeeded to his and Patten's combined budgets, most likely it is somewhere far beyond the 70 billion euro figure for just the CFSP portion. When one counts, as does Solana, military resources as including those belonging individually to the about to be non-sovereign countries of the European Union, e.g, Great Britain's army, navy and airforce, Germany's police operations; France's army, navy, and airforce, etc., etc., and a continent full of potential recruits and or conscripts, one sees that Javier Solana has a potentially massive operation indeed.Michael Matthiessen works for Javier Solana. Solana must not trust his aides to go by themselves to represent his interests. Fascinatingly, Matthiessen noted in his speech to InWEnt, a Germany think tank conglomerate, that although his boss was Javier Solana, he was "under the control" of others:I am on the civilian side, I speak under the control of a colleague from the EU military staff being here, but I think we can say that we have worked very closely among the civilian and military actors. Not least in the case of Artemis, of course, the cooperation was very close with the Commission - and I'm speaking also on the control of a colleague from the Commission here - working with our colleagues dealing with humanitarian assist
These are some of the military operations of the European Union under Javier Solana that Mr. Matthiessen saw fit to discuss openly:
--ESDP - European Security and Defense Policy--Artemis--Operation Altea--CIMIC - Civilian Military Cooperation--CIMCO - Civilian Military Coordination--SHIRBRIG (Super High Readiness Brigade) proposed by Solana for the UN -- a global type of --CIMIC operation.--PfP - Partnership for Peace--Operation Proxima - Operates in former Yugoslavia--CMC - Crisis Management ConceptAnd these are the non-classified items! What about the thousands of formerly "transparent" documents that Solana subjected to secrecy starting in June 2000?
My CD-Rom informed its viewers of the CIMIC and SHIRBRIG operations.It seems that the European Union is not waiting for the Quartet for Peace in the Middle East to get its nose in both the Israeli-Palestinian Union tents. Last summer, Javier Solana bluntly toldIsrael's Ariel Sharon that "like it or not, the European Union is involved." Our very good friend 'SqueakBox' on several occasions erased that from the Wikipedia article on Solana, originally mostly written by yours truly and then butchered beyond recognition mostly by SqueakBox, although I had frustrations from a couple of would be editors from Herb Peters camp as well who started to hack that article, virtually inviting SqueakBox's disastrous intervention! SqueakBox honestly admitted he thought it might be a 'planted evidence', true as it was, to lead Christians and orthodox Jews to believe this might be at least an operating arm of the prophesied beast of Daniel and Revelation/Apocalypse. Well, see below as well as clicking on the link in the box contained above in the smaller headline. Also, please refer back to my last archived article and click on the reference link there. A very chatty member of Solana's staff, Michael Matthiessen delivers a speech to a German consulting conglomerate InWEnt. He tells of the EU's various police interventions in EU and NATO occupied countries -- going under names such as CIMIC, CIMCO, CIMCOP, etc., ad nauseum.
http://mandela.inwent.org/ef/military/matthiessen.htm
http://ue.eu.int/ueDocs/cms_Data/docs/pressdata/EN/declarations/84603.pdf
With the expanded and ever growing "Greater European Neighborhood," it appears the EU police state is expanding as well in this bizarre growing version of what Solana would have us think is a kind and friendly version, no more ominous than "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. For how long will the USA continue to maintain the fiction of "our European Allies" as this continues? How long until we invite these EU state police to help us extricate from our Iraqi mess as well. Interesting questions, interesting times, and as always, I invite your perspective and comments.

SqueakBox honestly admitted he thought it might be a 'planted evidence', true as it was, to lead Christians and orthodox Jews to believe this might be at least an operating arm of the prophesied beast of Daniel and Revelation/Apocalypse. Well, see below as well as clicking on the link in the box contained above in the smaller headline. Also, please refer back to my last archived article and click on the reference link there. A very chatty member of Solana's staff, Michael Matthiessen delivers a speech to a German consulting conglomerate InWEnt. He tells of the EU's various police interventions in EU and NATO occupied countries -- going under names such as CIMIC, CIMCO, CIMCOP, etc., ad nauseum.

With the expanded and ever growing "Greater European Neighborhood," it appears the EU police state is expanding as well in this bizarre growing version of what Solana would have us think is a kind and friendly version, no more ominous than "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. For how long will the USA continue to maintain the fiction of "our European Allies" as this continues? How long until we invite these EU state police to help us extricate from our Iraqi mess as well. Interesting questions, interesting times, and as always, I invite your perspective and comments.
