Hallelujah! TheMicroEffect.com is back up and running

And we are honored to have Paul Walter, president of Walter Publishing Company and publisher of www.newswithviews.com join us as my guest today. My secretary showed me a book, THE COMING BATTLE: the true history of our national debt, written by M.W. Walbert in 1899. I said, "oh, Paul sent me his book." She said, "no, it was in your library for the past several years."

So, I invited Paul Walter on to talk about it. When I went to school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in all my history classes, I was taught that one of the greatest struggles in the early days of the USA was over the pro's and con's of a national bank. I was also taught that William Jennings Bryan had said, "thou shalt not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold," and that had referred to his belief that a silver standard could also be used.

This book talks about the national bank struggles and the de-monetization of silver -- all struggles prior to 1899. I'm anxious to hear what Paul has to say about it and whether it is also relevant for our time and what lessons we can learn from it.

We are on the air at 5 p.m. Eastern time, 2 p.m. Pacific time. Stay tuned!

Maurice & Hanne Strong's Colorado New Age Commune

MAURICE AND HANNE STRONG'S "SACRED SITE"?

I received my latest copy of U. S. News & World Report. It was supposed to be about "Sacred Sites." Some, obviously, are not so sacred. I'm still doing my browsing, but I was more than a little startled to see the New Age community Crestone/Baca started and run by Hanne and Maurice Strong.

The Strong's are active with Lucis (Lucifer) Trust and I have written both for my blogspot readers and NewswithViews.com ones about their extremely deep involvement with the "Maitreya the Christ" crowd. I have also written about the "curious triangle" of former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, Maurice Strong, and Javier Solana.

Shirley MacLaine, another proponent of this whole awful scene is out and about, featured on many talk shows about her new book, "Sage-ing While Age-ing." Ms. MacLaine has a more than disturbing paragraph on pages 191-192 of her new book which I suspect reflects a growing broad consensus in the New Age community:

"There are those who feel we are into the 'Shift of the Ages' . . . The shift is supposed to occur somewhere between the 1980s and through 2012 . . . I feel all of this is happening now . . . Our solar system passes through this Photon Light particles every twenty-six thousand years. Apparently we entered this belt in the early 1980s and will be going through it for a thousand years . . . The photon energy frequencies accelerate everything. They accelerate understanding, awareness, self-knowledge . . . they also accelerate confusion, chaos, anger, and negativity. I believe that is what is accelerating. We are having a healing crisis. When that crisis subsides, I believe we will begin emotionally to feel that we are all one and that we are divine as well. Because of this crisis . . . karmic issues will be resolved. We will go through a healing process which will also be extremely painful because we will be detoxing . . .
". . . in effect, every twenty-six thousand years the build up of emotional and karmic toxins is cleared. . . I call it Karma-geddon. Instead of Armageddon, a Karma-geddon will be occurring which will be the resolution of all our karmic issues down through the ages. Therefore . . . the world will shed the old ways of living . . ."

I have long warned that the New Agers view monotheists as "cancerous cells on the global brain." Author Peter Russell and many others were delivering this line starting in the 1970s early 1980s that Shirley McLaine refers to. Too many purporting to warn the Christian community have told them far too often to go back to sleep, nothing's happening.

Folks, it is happening. It is here. We are looking, I fear, at a movement of mass possession. All the "meditation," "A Course in Miracles," Urantia, "House of Yahweh," Reiki, yoga, est, channeling, Silva Mind Control, Feldenkreis, earth reverencing movements, et al, etc., have done their work and those entering into altered states are receptive to the mindset exemplified. Paul Hawken has been singing the same songs along with David Spangler as long as I have been looking at the New Age Movement, since the early 1980s. He brags that this is a movement that nobody saw coming.

It is the exact same song the New Agers have been singing since the first Earth Day, 1970. The planet is overpopulated. "Christianity is a root cause of the problem." Too many alleged Christians have been delivering "amens" and helping the New Agers set up the very structures intended for our destruction under the guise of "Christian stewardship." They have meekly gone along with the game plan Jeremy Rifkin outlined in the 1970s in his THE EMERGING ORDER. Rifkin said then that only the religious impulse was strong enough to bring the New World Order into existence. He said that it was in the name and spirit of orthodoxy that it would be ushered in -- by Christians changing their theology from a "fall and dominion paradigm" to a "stewardship paradigm." Far too many Christians meekly said "amen" then. Far too many are saying it now.

I saw it coming and tried my best to sound clear alarms. It now is becoming downright dangerous, especially as the New Agers see their "photon belt" energies come in their perception of 2012. They feel, as Ms. MacLaine expresses, that they have been in that period since the 1980s.

It is my belief that God held things back long enough to get folks warned. One further warning: There is a clear spiritual line here that nobody must cross. It is set forth plainly in that book so hated by the New Age community, the Book of Revelation. It is contained in chapter 14:

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting [PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOT THE EVER CHANGING GOSPEL!] gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Folks, hold on to your spiritual seatbelts. Prepare for marginalization. Shirley MacLaine was right. It may well be painful. But to give in to forbidden marks and forbidden worship is worse. Our pain will endure for but a little while -- the fate of those crossing that forbidden line is permanent.

The stresses are coming at us now fast and furious. The UN has issued its report on "global warming." Now they are no longer singing their old New Age song of "Dialogue." CNN commentators were reporting as I watched today that those opposing their suppositions are no longer entitled to be part of the debate as we have "lost credibility." The Alliance of Civilizations, "Alliance of Civilisations" to our British dialect friends, is increasing speed with a major world conference coming in January. Daily we are bombarded with the propaganda as to that and as to draconian, potentially population starving measures to combat "global warming."

It's here. Be strong! "Joy cometh in the morning."

TODAY'S PROGRAMMING: MICROEFFECT'S TOWER IS STILL DOWN

THE MICROEFFECT.COM – TODAY’S PROGRAMMING

Dear Friends and listeners:

Joe McNeil called today to say that a specialist from Seattle was going to onsite to the Idaho facilities of the MicroEffect radio facilities. A transmission tower blew down in storms last Friday and they are still trying to get back up. They MIGHT be on line today, but it may not be ready today. Poor Joe!

As was the case Tuesday, the chatroom is still fortunately open 24/7. After initial problems connecting myself, I got on line Tuesday. I was online with chatroom participants until 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, nearly two hours. The participation and questions were excellent!

I talked at length with Warren Smith. He is on standby in case we go today. Otherwise, we have rescheduled him for next Friday when Joe assures me all should, God willing, be fixed and ready.

So we can all stay in practice I would love to join all those with questions, comments, again in the chatroom. I will go on line at approximately 4:55 p.m. Eastern Time (1:55 Eastern Time) to may sure all is working and for those signing on for the first time, here's how:

1. Go to internet address: www.TheMicroEffect.com.
2. Select the chatroom option from the Microeffect.com menu.
3. Give yourself a name.
4. Don’t worry about the password part. Right now, it’s not necessary.
5. Pose your questions live and I’ll answer them as fast as I can type in real time.

In hopes of "staying tuned" to put it in Herb Peters' beloved terminology, see you there!

Israel's Foreign Minister Reportedly has "harsh words" for Solana

Breaking news from the Arutz Sheva Israeli news service is that Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni was deeply disappointed over Solana's failure to state he would seek additional sanctions against Iran for its atomic energy efforts.

Last week, Solana called for the development of an "international enrichment centre." My research later showed me that Russia had already signed an agreement to create an international enrichment center. Quoting from World Nuclear News:

Russia and Kazakhstan have signed an intergovernmental agreement to set up a joint uranium enrichment centre, a first step towards an internationalized nuclear fuel cycle and possible international nuclear fuel 'bank'. The bilateral agreement was signed by Sergei Kiriyenko, head of Russia's Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom), and Baktykozha Ezmukhambetov, Kazakhstan's mineral resources minister, in the presence of Russian and Kazakh presidents Vladimir Putin and Nursultan Nazarbayev. Kiriyenko noted that any country could join the project by signing a similar intergovernmental agreement, thereby securing access to uranium enrichment services and nuclear fuel. Several countries, including Armenia, have expressed interest in joining the project, and a preliminary protocol has already been signed with Ukraine. The plan to establish international enrichment centres would ensure security of supply of nuclear fuel for power plants without countries needing to establish their own fuel production facilities and the associated risks of enrichment technology being used for weapons programmes. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Russia agreed earlier this year to set up a working group on the proposal, and the security of supply issue is scheduled for discussion when the IAEA's Board of Governors meet in June.

I, for one, would like to know where Russia's plans fit with Solana's recent announcement. Javier Solana holds a doctorate in physics. It is difficult for me to believe he did not have prior knowledge of the Russian program!

Stay tuned!

THE MICROEFFECT.COM – TODAY’S PROGRAMMING


Dear Friends and listeners:

My secretary just told me that Joe McNeil, the sainted and beleaguered broadcaster and producer of www.themicroeffect.com just called to apologize for recent technical problems. He told us shis technical people are still working on the technical problems that stilled the audio stream portion of the program last Friday. As my regulars know, Warren Smith was to be interviewed last Friday. We have rescheduled Warren Smith to this Friday at 5:00 pm. Eastern Time (2 p.m. Pacific time). Joe tells us that they have estimated it will take three more days to fix the audio portion of the program.

So we don’t get out of the habit, let’s plan to join in the chatroom anyway at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time and let’s have an online discussion. If anybody is interested in joining me there at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), here’s how you can go about it:
1. Go to internet address: www.TheMicroEffect.com.
2. Select the chatroom option from the Microeffect.com menu.
3. Give yourself a name.
4. Don’t worry about the password part. Right now, it’s not necessary.
5. Pose your questions live and I’ll answer them as fast as I can type in real time.
See you there, I hope!

Solana's "International Enrichment Centre"?

Javier Solana has made a new proposal that if successful would greatly increase his influence and control. It could also make him look like a global peacemaker.

He has proposed an "International Enrichment Centre" under "multilateral control" to take charge of nuclear enrichment so that all countries might take advantage of its cheaper energy while simultaneously reducing nuclear threats from "rogue nations."

"The only way of finding a lasting solution to these problems is. . .
by creating an international enrichment centre under multilateral
supervision. All states would have access to this enriched fuel on equal
terms and at competitive prices . . ."

Stay tuned!

BARCELONA PROCESS - EUROPEAN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY TODAY

Dear Readers:

I have had a busy and frustrating (unfortunately, not money producing either) week as an attorney. Not as much time as I would like to post here, but THINGS ARE HAPPENING. I will be interviewing Author Warren Smith tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on http://www.themicroeffect.com/. Please plan to join us, including in the chatroom!

Javier Solana and the Barcelona Process is still happening. So is the European Neighbourhood policy. Searching the news today, I found this very current story about its progress and I think it would be excellent if you read it, digested it, AND ARCHIVED IT.

I'm just sorry Herb Peters is not around for the discussion, but thankful that Rich of Medford, Dorothy, "Farmer", "Butterfield", "Rudi," "Setterman," Dave, Dawn, et al are around and because my senior moment kicked in after this very long day and I didn't list all, doesn't mean I'm not grateful to all. Stay tuned!

MY NOVEMBER 6, 2007 RADIO PROGRAM - BEN GROSSCUP

UPDATE: I talked at length with Mr. Grosscup before the program without mentioning transhumanism to him. On the program, I decided to raise the subject. I was delighted to learn that he had studied it academically and because of his alarm at its ramifications, entered into his First Amendment advocacy work. I apologize for raising any unfounded suspicions and I am delighted to know that Mr. Grosscup is one of us! He gave our listeners some new and important information about Verichip and a partnership they are forming with the U.S. government to individually microchip and/or tag every animal for individual identification. MY FRIDAY GUEST IS AUTHOR WARREN SMITH AND WE WILL BE DISCUSSING BOTH THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT AND THE 'EMERGING CHURCH' AND WHERE IT IS GOING!


Constance

At Dr. Monteith's recommendation, I had invited Hope Marston to do last Friday's radio program on the use of the 911 crisis to abrogate American constitutional First Amendment Rights. Because of the Robert Kennedy speech that evening, I made a decision to reschedule and invited her to join me for tonight's (5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time) program. She is traveling and unavailable. She suggested that Ben Grosscup, their regional director do the program instead. I said that would be fine and we are presumably on for tonight.

Googling my guest in preparation for tonight, I have every reason to suspect that tonight's show might be exciting beyond our wildest expectations. He is, it appears, either into or deeply studying the transhuman movement. See my column of July 16, 2007.

Since writing the initial part of this, I have had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Grosscup. We confined our discussion to the Patriot Act and its abuses which in fairness I had promised would be the major focus of the program tonight when I first set it up with Ms. Marston. He does have much to say of real importance about the serious diminishment of our civil liberties and the threat to us all from domestic spying. I will make that the primary focus of our program tonight and see if we can't get him back another time about the "transhuman movement."

It should, needless to say, be a most interesting hour. Stay tuned!

Still another worthwhile blogspot -- David Butterfield

Busy week! I plan to re-record my radio program tomorrow. It will be fresh material. Tomorrow afternoon, I canceled other plans to go check out the latest the "Sustainable Development" folks are up to. They are bringing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to Detroit to speak at Wayne State University to advocate same. My secretary managed to secure one of the free tickets for me and I am going to check it out. I will be writing on it over the weekend.

Author Warren Smith will be my internet radio guest on MY PERSPECTIVE a week from Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific time and 5 p.m. Eastern time. I am very much looking forward to this interview. We will be discussing the New Age Movement and its most recent incursions into the church, including but not limited to Robert Schuller's Crystal Cathedral and other mega churches.

I am heartened to find still another first rate blogspot covering the issues of the Alliance of Civilizations and other current issues. It belongs to David Butterfield and I have placed a link to it above. When I am a little more coherent (it has been a long an difficult day), I will place a permanent link.

Stay tuned!

A NEW AND VALUABLE WEB CONTRIBUTION

One of our most valued contributors, "Farmer," from Europe who has done so much for this site and Herb Peters' has launched his own blogspot and I urge all to regularly visit and join his discussions as well as those here. I am so grateful for his and for Rich of Medford's work.

I have placed a link to it on the side of this site. You may continue to "stay tuned" by going there after leaving here!

MY PERSPECTIVE RADIO GUEST TODAY

Turn about is fair play. I have been interviewed many times on Zeph Daniel's program. Today, he has agreed to be a guest on mine. The discussion should be lively. Like me, Zeph has friends and he has enemies. We will discuss both. Please join us at 5 p.m. Eastern Time, 2 p.m. Pacific Time. Stay tuned. Zeph Daniels' website may be found at http://www.zephnet.com.

France's Sarkozy muddies Solana's Barcelona waters

I expect things may quickly come to a head between Javier Solana and the Nation of France -- provided this is not all a mere part of "Armageddon Script" play acting! Recently divorced Nicolas Sarkozy is evidently sublimating by attempted Mediterranean power grabs. It will be fascinating to see who comes out on top. I suspect Solana is not happy about this, UNLESS, it was suggested that this might be a good way to create "crisis=opportunity" with this being the final straw to at last hand Javier Solana the full panoply of powers he has been long seeking.

Quoting from the EU Observer:

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has reiterated his plan to set up a Mediterranean Union, a loose grouping of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, in 2008 - a move that is likely to raise eyebrows in some parts of Europe."I invite all the heads of state and government of countries bordering the Mediterranean to meet in France in June 2008 to lay the foundations of a political, economic and cultural union founded on the principles of strict equality", Mr Sarkozy said during his visit to Morocco on Tuesday (23 October).

He added that "in the Mediterranean will be decided whether or not civilisations and religions will wage the most terrible of wars...whether or not the North and the South will clash".The idea of a Mediterranean Union is not a completely new one - it was floated by Mr Sarkozy leader during the French presidential campaign in spring of this year.Under the plans, the group should tie southern Europe with Northern Africa as well as Israel and its Arab neighbours and tackle topical issues such as counter-terrorism, immigration, energy, trade, water and sustainable development.However - after offering Turkey that it could be the backbone of the club - the project has been widely seen as another attempt to give Ankara an alternative for its bid for full EU membership. Mixed reactionsAccording to the European Commission, it is "good" to have initiatives promoting regional cooperation, however, they "should build on existing structures".There are fears that France's proposal would try to bypass the 12-year-old Barcelona process, designed to foster dialogue between the EU bloc and ten countries on the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean - Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. Libya has observer status since 1999. "It is a successful process", the commission spokesperson said on Thursday (25 October), indicating the executive body will want more details on any new union. According to media reports, some EU capitals are also set to seek clarification of Mr Sarkozy's ideas, with a few even indicating it may be part of his efforts to push his own country's interests in the region.Only seven EU countries - Cyprus, Greece, France, Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain - would be part of the new bloc, the rest would have a role of silent observer. In his speech in Morocco, Mr Sarkozy himself drew a rather blurry picture of the project. On the one hand, he called on Mediterranean people "to do the same thing, with the same goal and the same method" as the 27-nation EU bloc has done, but at the same time, he said it would not be based on the EU model.

Not so fond Barcelona remembrances

On November 22, 1995, I awoke with far less sleep than I needed to discover this had then happened:

1. There was a massive earthquake in Israel (on November 22, 1995).
2. Two days earlier, the European Union and Israel had signed a Treaty of Association.
3. A Barcelona Conference was to begin five days later with these goals:
A. Battle religious fundamentalism, worldwide
B. Mutually advantageous trading terms for partners in basin, leading to a Mediterranean Free Trade zone by 2010.
C. Get the USA out of Mediterranean and/or greatly reduce its presence there.

The desired treaty was achieved between the participating nations and the Barcelona Conference was concluded on November 28, 1995. As Richard Peterson (our Rich of Medford) so ably details in his blogspot, A Time, Times, and Half a Time", this was the launch also of the Alliance of Civilizations.

When that first Barcelona Conference (1995) concluded, only two days later, Javier Solana was named the new head of NATO. This was to the utter astonishment of the Spanish press which noted that he had been the leader of the Spanish opposition to NATO. He had once authored a pamphlet, "50 Reasons to Say No to NATO."

This morning I awoke after far too little sleep (I left my office very late this morning and had a grand total of 3 hours of sleep), and awoke. Since I couldn't sleep, I thought I might (as on November 22, 1995) check my email. There was a "Solana alert" in my email. It was about a reconfirmation of the Barcelona Process goal of the Mediterranean Free Trade by 2010. You may read what I read for yourself (hopefully, and be sure you archive it as you may never see it again!) by clicking here.

"A time, times and half a time"? Deja vu? Stay tuned!

Do you find this as disturbing as I do? Why doesn't he just pose with Benjamin Creme promoting the new "Maitreya the Christ"?

President Bush professes to be a Christian. The Dalai Lama is an aggressive promoter of the New World Religion and "Maitreya the Christ."

What next?

EU Leaders pass "Reform Treaty" Today

I feel so very much tonight as I did early in the morning of November 22, 1995. I logged tonight after a busy day to view my email. I was greeted with a large Yahoo! headline of "EU leaders endorse reform treaty." There was nary a word about "the invisible man," "Javier Solana" who seems to be lying low through this process. But to those knowledgeable, the presence was clearly felt.

"While it lacks the constitution's most contentious elements — such as EU flag and anthem — it will give its foreign and security affairs chief a seat on the EU executive Commission with control over the EU's multibillion dollar aid budget and its extensive network of diplomats and civil servants."

As we know, this means JAVIER SOLANA, who has long since been the designate for this position. As far as Sarkozy, he now has public dissension for (1) his divorce; and (2) a looming national transportation strike. This should keep him and Bernard Kouchner more than busy -- surviving.

The Daniel prophecies were that the "10 toes" of Daniel "would not cleave together" -- they would be partially strong and partially weak. However, there were equally clear prophecies, both in Daniel and in Revelation, that they would share power briefly with "the beast" and hand their power to the beast.

It appears that these prophecies may well be in clear stages of fulfillment. It appears that Javier Solana may well be fulfilling them.

Let's hope I am wrong for the sake of the soul of Javier Solana. I am equally troubled this week by George W. Bush's participation in an interfaith service for the Dalai Lama. How does he ever square Tibetan Buddhism with the brand of Christianity he has so convincingly professed?

The ultimate fate of those fulfilling those Daniel and Revelation prophecies is one I would never wish on anyone! I sincerely hope I have read too much into current events.

May the Lord help us all!

P.S. Since I drafted this, an Ireland press article was posted to google.com news that specifically said the post appeared tailor made for Javier Solana. Here is a link to that story:

JAVIER SOLANA AND BERNARD KOUCHNER OR JAVIER SOLANA VS. BERNARD KOUCHNER?

Bernard Kouchner, Condoleezza Rice, and Javier Solana: together!

WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT'S GOING ON . . .
"THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING HERE -- WHAT IT IS AIN'T EXACTLY CLEAR"

Today the news is that the European foreign ministers (translate ‘Javier Solana’) have approved the deployment of a three thousand man army (3,000) to supplement a 26,000 “joint African Union – UN peacekeeping force” in Darfur.

Interestingly, the spokesman for this as reported at least in Yahoo’s news service was French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner. Bernard Kouchner and Javier Solana have been fast friends for many years. Interestingly, Kouchner was the founder of Physicians without Borders.

The African peacekeeping operations were previously covered by AMIS (African Union Mission in Sudan). Strong statements were issued by Javier Solana about an attack on that mission on September 30th. On that date he said:

I strongly condemn the attack on the AMIS peacekeeping forces in Haskanita in Darfur and fully support the statement made earlier today by the Chairman of the Ceasefire Commission, General Martin Luther Agwai, in this regard. The attack is unjustifiable and constitutes a grave violation of the ceasefire agreement. It comes at a particularly sensitive moment shortly before the launch of renewed peace talks on Darfur and the transition from AMIS to the AU/UN hybrid operation, UNAMID. I urge all parties to act responsibly, to desist from acts of violence and to respect the ceasefire and focus on the upcoming peace talks".

Now what is interesting to me is why Solana’s name is not appearing, as usually is the case, on the reports of this operation? Is he laying low? Has there been a coupe and Bernard Kouchner is the new czar of European foreign policy? If Solana is keeping a lowered media profile, why?
Javier Solana was very publicly involved with the Darfur crisis in August of this year (2007). Read about that here. It was Darfur that Angelina Jolie and Javier Solana were discussing in their combo meeting/photo op on September 27th.

And in a recent United States Department sponsored session, Bernard Kouchner went out his way to say that it was Javier Solana in charge of "these processes":

FOREIGN MINISTER KOUCHNER: Yes. So there are three paths. There is the traditional, diplomatic path which we are following with contacts that are maintained and discussions that are underway. As far as the EU, of course, it's Javier Solana who is charge of this process. But there are many foreign affairs ministers who are talking with the Iranians, (inaudible), in particular. We are continuing to follow this path. And as Condi said, there is the path that goes through the Security Council of the United Nations. And we may hope that there will be a third resolution to reinforce the sanctions which, up until now, have not been very effective . . ."

Dr. Bernard Kouchner is an interesting individual in and of himself. He was described by former UN head Boutrous-Boutrous Ghali as being “an unguided missile.” He is known for very much being his own man. He surprised many recently by telling France that they should prepare for the possibility of war against Iran. Like Javier Solana and Germany’s Joschka Fischer, he is a tough and able member of the “Class of ’68.” CNN reported that he had a reputation for challenging convention and authority.

It appears that Bernard Kouchner is taking an increasingly assertive role in European foreign policy. Whether he is doing so with or without Javier Solana’s blessings is the question. Kouchner is distinctly more photogenic than Solana. If he has gone out on his own, he may be perceived to Solana to be as much as a threat as his old friend Tony Blair turned out to seemingly be. If this is the case, Kouchner could be a threat to Solana’s hegemony indeed. The CNN story concluded:

Perhaps the strongest lesson though from Mr Kouchner's intervention is his underlining that the new administration in France is not a knee-jerk anti-American one -- and that France is in the business of reclaiming a role at the top diplomatic tables.

Dr. Bernard Kouchner is an interesting individual in and of himself. He was described by former UN head Boutrous-Boutrous Ghali as being “an unguided missile.” He is known for very much being his own man. He surprised many recently by telling France that they should prepare for the possibility of war against Iran. Like Javier Solana and Germany’s Joschka Fischer, he is a tough and able member of the “Class of ’68.” CNN reported that he had a reputation for challenging convention and authority.

If that account is accurate, it is conceivable that Javier Solana may perceive of his old friend Bernard Kouchner as a threat. On the other hand, he could also be a useful tool for letting the USA think they had more European support than is actually the case.

Also, France’s role in this entire picture is intriguing. Benjamin Crème long boasted, since the late 1970’s, that his “Maitreya the Christ” would partially take a prominent role on the world stage with a fusion energy project. The EU in general and Javier Solana in particular has long taken a center spot in just such a global project with the ITER (rhymes with “bitter”) project with main equipment being located at Cadarache, France. That is also the site of France’s nuclear weapons production. Interestingly, one of their more euphoric predictions as well as those of the project's more pessimistic followers is that they will bring fire from heaven down upon earth!

It is increasingly apparent to me that European nations have been handing as much power as they have to Dr. Solana to equalize themselves with the USA. If Kouchner is indeed going against the grain of this with the support of his Prime Minister Sarkozy, things evidently are not quite as cozy for Dr. Solana as he once assumed. Or maybe they are. Or maybe Sarkozy and Kouchner are now getting in the way. Or maybe they are all players in "The Armageddon Script." Time and events will tell.

At any rate, the party is getting disturbing not to mention interesting.

For my internet program listeners, and all are invited, John Loeffler, long time host of Steel on Steel, will be my guest tomorrow, October 16, 2007, on MY PERSPECTIVE, 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 2 p.m. Pacific time on http://www.themicroeffect.com/. Tune in and stay tuned!

NEWSWITHVIEWS ON KAREN ARMSTRONG

October 12, 2007
NEWSWITHVIEWS.COM article
Submitted by Constance E. Cumbey, October 10, 2007

To my readers:

I don't know what went wrong with the transmission of my Karen Armstrong/Alliance of Civilizations/Share International article. The hyperlinks were missing on the NewswithViews transmission. Since I am on Eastern Time and they are on Pacific time there is a 3 hour time difference and needless to say, I could not phone those poor folk at 3:30 a.m. Pacific time and request a correction. Here is the story as published, WITH LINKS. I'm certain it will be corrected on the NWV edition later today.
Sorry!

P.S. It was promptly fixed and you can go to it by clicking here:

KAREN ARMSTRONG AND THE ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS

I decided it was time that I look in on the Alliance of Civilizations. Internet searching, I found a page on its UNAOC (United Nations Alliance of Civilizations) website. It was labeled “HLG Analysis.” I went there. The first thing I noticed was a fairly new article by Karen Armstrong. Karen Armstrong is a former nun who considers herself a first rate theologian as well as an analytical scholar of world religions. Many others have given her credit for this as well, including but not limited to Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations who appointed her as one of the High Level Group of Personalities to oversee and make recommendations for governments to regulate religious school curriculums globally. Since Karen Armstrong spent years, per her account, in a convent, “under a veil,” I expected her to have some basic grasp of at least Christianity. She is perhaps the most prominent face and voice of the HLG (High Level Group).
Karen Armstrong writes lots of articles and gives lots of interviews. What initially distinguished this one for me was to whom she gave it: SHARE INTERNATIONAL! Share International is the official publication of the “Christ is now here” crowd, specifically Benjamin Crème and his “Maitreya the Christ” company. Sometimes they, with permission, reprint articles from other sources. I looked carefully to see if this was perhaps the case here. It was not. The article was an interview specifically for SHARE INTERNATIONAL by Andrea Bistrich. I am now wondering out loud if Karen Armstrong knew that SHARE INTERNATIONAL was (1) about a new ‘Christ’ who was decidedly not Jesus (and probably not Jewish either) and (2) was the official organ for a group officially seeking a “New World Religion.”
Since Karen Armstrong holds herself out as an expert in comparative religion, I assumed that if she knew even 1/100th of what she is reported to know, that she should have had knowledge of what Share International is about. I decided to “google” for myself. I assume Karen Armstrong is also as Javier Solana accused fundamentalists of doing, “taking full advantage of the global village” and doing her own due diligence google/yahoo searches before lending her name and prestige to one cause or another. Doing my own google search on “Share International” I didn't have to look far. The top ten hits were all about “Maitreya the World Teacher.” You may read the top hit by clicking here.
Well, certainly no ambiguity there! Well let’s go to the interview article itself and judge her theological and scriptural expertise by its content. A few quotes from her SHARE INTERNATIONAL interview will do:
“American Christian fundamentalists are not in favour of democracy; and it is true that many of the Neo-cons many of whom incline towards this fundamentalism, have very hard line, limited views.”
“The Arab-Israeli conflict has also become pivotal to Christian fundamentalists in the United States. The Christian Right believes that unless the Jews are in their land, fulfilling the ancient prophecies, Christ cannot return in glory in the Second Coming. So they are passionate Zionists, but this ideology is also anti-Semitic, because in the Last Days they believe that the Antichrist will massacre the Jews in the Holy Land if they do not accept baptism.”

Baptism? I’m sure she meant to say, “initiation.” The New Agers of whom she has said nothing in expressing her alleged worries over various “fundamentalisms” have clearly written in so many of their books by so many of their prominent writers (Alice Bailey, Gina Cerminara, Benjamin Crème, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and David Spangler to name but a few) that there will be violence against, “the sword of cleavage” and death to those who fail to accept their New Age “Christ.” A relatively less publicized version of the Great Invocation that Lucis Trust promotes as the new world prayer for the New Age contains a stanza, “let light and love and power and death fulfill the purpose of the coming one.”
Well, maybe their New Age Christ repented and decided everybody should be baptized to protect them from his god Lucifer! Fat chance!
Well, now about her theology. Again, I found she was a much better and closer reader than me. Maybe her contemplative time in the monastery showed her hidden texts or was it her post-nunnery Akashic record meditations? Her Christology is certainly most unique for a former religious:
“Luke’s gospel calls Jesus a prophet from start to finish; the idea that Jesus was divine was a later development, often misunderstood by Christians.”
Well, now I know for certain that Karen Armstrong is certainly both a superior reader and theologian to Yours Truly. I have read the Gospel of Luke many times and certainly missed the points that Karen Armstrong raised to Share International the purveyors of a very foreign gospel proclaiming that Jesus is not the Christ, but this “Maitreya”/Betraya or whatever his/its name is supposed to be is divine.
I decided to again read the Gospel of Luke for myself. Far from finding what Karen Armstrong claimed it said, here’s what it said about Jesus’ divinity:
“Fear not Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (Luke 1:31-33)
“Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:34-35)
“And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1:42-43)
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11-12)
“And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. . . . Then took he him [Baby Jesus] up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, “Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.” . . . And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against(Luke 2:26-31)
May I disrespectfully guess that Karen Armstrong in her own inimical way is striving to fulfill the prophetic musings of Simeon? And then, also in the Gospel of Luke was the prophetess Anna, also finding the Baby Jesus in the temple.
“And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” (Luke 2:17)
Well, Karen Armstrong is a busy person. Maybe she has no time, given her busy media and Alliance of Civilizations schedule to read the Book of Luke for herself. If she had, she might have noticed this statement from Jesus as recorded in the Book of Luke:
The law and the prophets lasted up until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed and every man presses into it.
Well you get the point. The Book of Luke from start to finish clearly proclaims the Divinity of Jesus. Perhaps Karen Armstrong confused the statements about Jesus with the statements about John!
Well, I’ve got to put a charitable interpretation on all of this. My most unkind observation is to say that since she left the convent, she has obviously made her divorce from Jesus very final. My charitable interpretation is maybe she, an ex-nun, just got out of the habit!
Finally, maybe her knowledge is so specialized, she just plain doesn’t know. If Karen Armstrong needs a reading list of the Hidden Dangers of the folks she gave that Share International interview to, I could help!

Angelina Jolie meets with Javier Solana

Well, now we must take Javier Solana more seriously than ever. The Hollywood P.C. ("politically correct) crowd now evidently thinks it important to genuflect to him. I note for the record that this was also the case with Jiddhu Krishnamurti in the 1930's. Here's a link where you can watch it for yourself by clicking here.

KAREN ARMSTRONG AND THE ALLIANCE OF CIVILIZATIONS

Recently interviewed by Benjamin Crème's "Maitreya the Christ" Share International Magazine" operation!

It's been a little while since I looked in on the Alliance of Civilizations. I decided to see what was happening with it today. Searching, I found a page on its UNAOC (United Nations Alliance of Civilizations) website. It was labeled "HLG Analysis." I went there. The first thing I noticed was a fairly new article by Karen Armstrong. Karen Armstrong is a former nun who considers herself a first rate theologian as well as an analytical scholar of world religions. Many others have given her credit for this as well, including but not limited to Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the United Nations who appointed her as one of the High Level Group of Personalities to oversee and make recommendations for governments to regulate religious school curriculums globally. Since Karen Armstrong spent years, per her account, in a convent, "under a veil," I expected her to have some basic grasp of at least Christianity. She is perhaps the most prominent face and voice of the HLG (High Level Group).

Karen Armstrong writes lots of articles and gives lots of interviews. What initially distinguished this one for me was to whom she gave it: SHARE INTERNATIONAL. Share International is the official publication of the "Christ is now here" crowd, specifically Benjamin Crème and his "Maitreya the Christ" company. Sometimes they, with permission, reprint articles from other sources. I looked carefully to see if this was perhaps the case here. It was not. The article was an interview specifically for SHARE INTERNATIONAL by Andrea Bistrich.

I am now wondering out loud if Karen Armstrong knew that SHARE INTERNATIONAL was (1) about a new 'Christ' who was decidedly not Jesus (and probably not Jewish either) and (2) was the official organ for a group officially seeking a "New World Religion."

Since Karen Armstrong holds herself out as an expert in comparative religion, I assumed that if she knew even 1/100^th of what she is reported to know, that she should have had knowledge of what Share International is about. I decided to "google" for myself. I assume Karen Armstrong is also as Javier Solana accused fundamentalists of doing, "taking full advantage of the global village" and doing her own due diligence google/yahoo searches before lending her name and prestige to one cause or another. Doing my own search on "Share International" here were my first few "Google" hits:

So they are passionate Zionists, but this ideology is also anti-Semitic, because in the Last Days they believe that the Antichrist will massacre the Jews in the Holy Land if they do not accept baptism."

Well, I'll concede she must be a much better researcher than Yours Truly. I have read thousands of books on these subjects over the 26 years that I have been reporting on New Age Movement developments and have yet to run across a belief that "the Antichrist will massacre the Jews in the Holy Land if they do not accept baptism."

I'm sure she meant to say, "initiation." The New Agers of whom she has said nothing in expressing her views over various "fundamentalisms" have clearly written in so many of their books by so many of their prominent writers (Alice Bailey, Gina Cerminara, Benjamin Crème, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and David Spangler to name but a few) that there will be "the sword of cleavage" and death to those who fail to accept their New Age "Christ."

Well, maybe their New Age Christ repented and decided everybody should be baptized to protect them from his god Lucifer! Fat chance!

TUESDAY, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Eastern Time, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Pacific Time

I had so much response to Saturday's TheMicroEffect.com program with author Lee Penn that I have asked him and he has agreed to join me for my premiere week day program. The weekday programs will be rebroadcast on Saturdays as well and I plan to be available in the chatroom for the rebroadcast to answer questions about the content. The nice thing is that this will allow me to pay full attention to the chatroom, something I could not do while I was also talking on the air!

Tomorrow will have much more focus on relationships with the Alliance of Civilizations, the plans of the Alliance of Civilizations to regulate religious school curriculums worldwide, and the definition of American Evangelicalism and fundamentalism as "dangerous extremism."

I will be broadcasting live on Tuesday and Fridays, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Pacific Time, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time and the rebroadcasts are planned by Joe McNeil to run on his badly needed days off -- on Saturdays. The chatroom is open 24/7!

Thanks to all for listening and staying tuned!

Javier Solana's newest Kosovo dilemma

IS JAVIER SOLANA BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE OVER KOSOVO?

Javier Solana indeed appears to have a new potential migraine headache. The UN has said the EU must find "a new legal basis for independence from Kosovo. Serbia has a dilemma over it, too. They desire European Union membership. Read all about it here.

Now, here's his dilemma. Javier Solana has wanted independence for Kosovo from Serbia (part of the former Yugoslavia) at least, as far as I can tell, since 1999. Russia has been opposed. Russia was also opposed to the Belgrade bombings, which were over the Kosovo issue, in 1999. The United States is for Kosovo independence. So, officially are Great Britain and France. Germany is hesitating. Now it turns out that Javier Solana's native Spain is also reluctant to go along with the scheme. Kosovo is to the Serbian Orthodox Church as Jerusalem is to the Jews; as Mecca is to the Moslems; as the Vatican City is to the Catholics; as Salt Lake City is to the Mormons, etc.

Granting independence to Kosovo, also an important cultural center for the Serbs is both a painful cultural and religious wound to that country. Spain is fearful of granting Kosovo independence from Serbia, because it would set a dangerous precedent for its own separatists to demand their territorial independence. Hungary, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus and Romania are reluctant to go along with that program for the same reason. On the other hand, economically devastated Serbia sees potential rehabilitation should it become part of the European Union. How will their stance on Kosovo independence potentially affect that?

So what's Javier Solana going to do about it? It should be interesting to watch. Stay tuned!

Arcadia, California convention speech

Dear Friends:

I will be on the road this weekend, speaking to the United Republicans of California at their October 29th convention in Arcadia, California. My assigned topic is "THE EUROPEAN UNION; FOOTPRINT FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER." I usually speak extemporaneously, but I think it would be prudent to have my speech prepared in advance. I will probably find myself departing from that text, but as all will be on the record, I'm leaning towards having words carefully prepared in advance. It will be hectic as I am in Court Thursday afternoon and first thing Monday morning, I am before the Honorable James Alexander in Oakland County Circuit Court --that is Oakland County, Michigan in the Detroit metropolitan area. "No rest for the wicked!"

Please keep me in your prayers. I believe this is an important opportunity to give wider circulation to the issues I have been discussing here, on my internet radio program,

Oh, and one more thing. Brian Davis will be guest hosting my radio program this Saturday, October 29th. If you aren't near Arcadia, California, where you are welcome to come and meet me in person, tune in to My Perspective. Brian will be guest hosting a popular talk show host from WMUZ radio in Detroit. I did a radio program on that station for 13 years. Next week, when I'm back, Lee Penn will join us to talk about his book, FALSE DAWN, United Religions and the Alliance of Civilizations.

Stay tuned!

TODAY'S RADIO PROGRAM: MICHAEL VORIS ON THE DAVINCI CODE

Michael Voris

One of the most boring and disturbing movies I ever partially slept through was the DaVinci Code. It was based on Dan Brown's novel by that name. It was an old theory to me as during the 1980's when I was researching and lecturing on the New Age Movement, there was an identical theme making the rounds by fiction writers posing as "research writers" called Baigent & Laurence, if I remember correctly. They wrote a book, HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL. They took an unlikely supposition and built assumption upon assumption on it. Here's how the "logic" ran as I recall it from the 1980s:

1. Jewish men in their 30's were usually married.
2. Why wasn't Jesus married? (Never mind that his parents clearly knew his mission -- so did he!)
3. The wedding at Cana must have been Jesus' own -- otherwise, why would his mother care about the wine? (What a break for the bride's parents!)
4. Jesus and his disciples arranged for his death to be faked and he recovered and ran off to southern France with his "bride," Mary Magdalene and raised children who have had their lineages carefully preserved in a cult ready to emerge with true royal blood for the "New Age."

We sort of laughed the theory to death in the 1980s and then it re-emerged with a vengeance with the Dan Brown novel and subsequent movie.

I originally scheduled another distinguished guest for Saturday, but because of Yom Kippor, he had to reschedule. Michael Voris, a popular television/media personality from my neck of the woods is an expert on the DaVinci Code and its errors and as most of you know, I am no slouch on it myself.

Today from 2 to 4 Eastern time, 1 to 3, Central Time, 12 to 2 Mountain Tme, and 11 to 1 Pacific time should be a fascinating discussion. Please join us at http://www.themicroeffect.com/.

Also, I will be a Sunday night guest on John W. Spring's SOUND=OFF, also on http://www.themicroeffect.com/. Join us for that!

Stay tuned!

Also, before reading my article about "Contraction & Convergence" below, you may read about this seemingly mysterious subject with more understanding, if you first watch a short but powerful You-Tube Video "Environ-Mentalism." That powerful presentation will give you a perspective and overview. I think it will help you read and digest it with much more understanding.

ALL YOU OLD READERS OF THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW, LOOK AT THIS!


SPEAKING OF FINDHORN AND THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW!!!!


A radical New Age game plan, said to be able to simultaneously cure global warming and world economic disparity woes has gained major backing from key world leaders. Most recently Germany's Angela Merkel led a successful floor fight at a recent climate change conference to win its acceptance. Former British viola player Aubrey Meyer is given credit for its 1995 origins. The plan has clear potential to unify most of its own seemingly disparate elements. It would also neatly tie together various otherwise unmanageable radical factions including USA anti-government types; anti-globalists; Davos World Economic Forum attendees, including but not limited to corporate CEO's; conservative Canadian Christians, New Zealand, Australian, and Canadian "Social Crediters;" Evangelical environmental movements; Matthew Fox type "Creation Centered" theologians; deep ecologists; "Earth First radicals, more moderate environmentalists, and even Communists.

If implemented as now planned it could impoverish, freeze, and starve many. It would radically change the lifestyles to the impoverishment of most! One refreshingly skeptical discussion of this growing usually Amen chorus campaign says it well: "Let's hope that it doesn't come down to needing to buy a carbon permit each time you want to barbecue a steak."

That plan is known as "C&C." That is short for an eerie phrase "Contraction and Convergence." What is to contract 40% to 60% is global use of energy. What is to converge are the resources flowing from developed countries to lesser developed ones. A stagnant or reduced population is assumed. Proponents also headline it as "A Global Framework that Sets a New Economic Agenda."

Most likely, it is one and the same as what Javier Solana referred to as a necessary "new bargain for the environment" in his March 21, 2007 global governance speech at the Brookings Institution. Similar plans are claimed by C&C proponents to have been supported bi-partisanly by United States Senators Byrd and Hagel. At least Senator Chuck Hagel (who recently announced his Senate retirement) is the closest of allies with Javier Solana who made a special trip to Washington in 2003 to award Senator Hagel the Translatlantic Leadership Award. In past years, another close Senate Solana ally, Richard Lugar of Indiana, also won that coveted prize.

Its propaganda has been since 1990 pre-planned and unrelenting. The "C&C" crisis = opportunity is being passed to mainstream media and corporate executives needing "positive images" as gospel along among environmentalists, "sustainable development advocates"; Earth as "goddess Gaia"; Socially Responsible Investors; New Age planners, old fashioned conservationists; and "amen to we must fight global warming" type politicians. It is now benefiting from its pre-planned and executed 15 year unceasing propaganda campaign of claimed "global warming." It has a planned redistribution of wealth that might have made Lenin blush. [See DVD "Liberty or Sustainable Development?]

Above and beyond all that New Age backing which includes what Findhorn chronicler Paul Hawken braggingly recently billed as "the Movement that Nobody Saw Coming," it claims to have the most support for any climate change claimed cure out there, including but not limited to the bad enough Kyoto proposal. In fact, one major recent meeting for global proponents of the radical environmental change movement met at Scotland based New Age Mecca, Findhorn.
Its draconian implications might well have made Stalin in his most ruthless moments smile.
One important meeting, under the auspices of the UN itself, discussing speeding up and implementation of its far reaching draconian proposals has recently taken place at Findhorn. Many have taken at face value the claims made of an alleged "global warming crisis." They lack, as did I, knowledge of the incredible 15 full year propaganda campaign for "Contraction and Convergence." This campaign was launched at the same time as Agenda 21 – in 1992. The pogrom , oops, Program, as implemented would do little to change the climate. It support is now legion, but they have operated relatively low key under the name of "Global Commons Institute." Whether they like it or not, climate is ultimately controlled by the same God many seeking these changes cheerfully deny.

One typical list of some of its academic and otherwise prominent endorsers are names well known to me from my 26 year study of the New Age Movement and its personalities such as Fritjof Capra, Jeremy Rifkin, Rev. Thomas Berry; Rev. Bishop Thomas Gumbleton; Kirkpatrick Sale, and many others.

C&C clearly has the potential to change the economic climate to one of shared hardship for all. It's climate changing potential is at best dubious and untested. Further, implementation of its complex "contraction and convergence" formula, reduced already to mathematical formulae, would undoubtedly require a global snooping system second to none for implementation. It would in effect change the world monetary system from a gold standard to what appear to be a rationed chits for CO2 standard. Verichip's "Digital Angel (or whatever they are calling it this week) as well as Javier Solana's European Space Agency's "Project Galileo" would certainly come in handy for its administration. I'll bet more than one of their number has thought that an implanted microchip tracking system would discourage cheating. In fact, the EU has long since released a complimentary CD upon request of just that sort of tracking potentials of boats, automobiles, and "even somebody out on a walk." I have viewed it many times.

C&C briefing papers claim that only their system comes close to meeting the requirements President George W. Bush says he wants for "stabilizing concentrations in the atmosphere." Global Commons Initiative, the organization led by Aubrey Meyer claims that their system complies with all six of the pre-requisite features demanded by George W. Bush at a Gothenburg EU summit this past June. "

Quoting from an online pamphlet, one that I advise you archive VERY QUICKLY as they tend to remove links as soon as they think we are intelligently reading same,

Climate Change has been the subject of a series of high-level international
meetings, starting with the Kyoto conference in 1997. Agreement in principle was
reached to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 60 per cent by 2050. But by 2004 the required number of countries—representing 55 per cent of total CO2 discharged into the atmosphere—had still not signed up, and therefore the Kyoto Treaty has still not been formally implemented. It is also becoming increasingly
apparent that Kyoto itself is only a faltering first step in the right direction. Far more radical targets will need to be implemented to prevent a world-wide climate disaster. The London-based Global Commons Institute has proposed a process of Contraction and Convergence, with equal per-capita allowances for greenhouse gas emissions for all the world's countries. This has gathered much international support, but implementation is being blocked . . ."

Well, thank God for the present blockage. Javier Solana says he wants "a new bargain for the environment." The Convergence and Contraction folk, including those of the "World Future Council," say they want "a new social contract." They are talking very similar talk and I fear they may be planning very shortly a common walk. George W. Bush is now rightfully concerned about his legacy as well as popularity. His recent statements on the Law of the Seas and global warming lead me to suspect that he may see global governance and environmental acquiescence as ways to salvage his name for history.

Of course, it is no surprise either that Al Gore has called for its passage and implementation.[1] Al Gore is now reportedly advising Great Britain on climate change issues. We know Al Gore talks with Javier Solana. Solana made a point of saying that in his Washington, D.C. global government mandate speech on March 21, 2007.

Further, Australians are urging their government to pressure international adoption of the Contraction and Convergence formula. Even less surprising is the European Union's support of it. My educated guess is that it is the European Union and its CFSP chief who are the prime movers on this issue.

My further guess is that the specifications and limits will be written up to the European Union's advantage. In the Year 2000, an English based "John Boyd Secretary" convincingly argued on line the parallels between the European Union's planned "peacekeeping" and Hitler's 1930 five year military buildup – first by stealth and then openly. Mr. Boyd then quoted Jacques Santer as saying that they needed to dislodge the USA as a competing superpower in the 'coming 21st century struggle for scarce global resources."

We have handled significant NATO powers and equipment to the EU while they have been building their own alleged "peacekeeping" forces. Javier Solana continues to press for consolidation of all 28 European Union countries' respective military and budgets. The alleged defunct Western European Union, a ten nation military federation has been used for military confab and planning purposes. While the fiction was maintained that the WEU was being shut down, the reality was that it was being "revived." At least, that is what Professor Jolyon Howorth said was happening in his books on NATO and the Western European Union.

The "Contraction and Convergence" timing was certainly interesting! It was 1996,[2] only one year after Javier Solana assumed his NATO command post and the Transatlantic chairmanship that the Contraction and Convergence proposals were submitted to the United Nations. Also of interest is that Al Gore has been reportedly hired to advise the British government on climate change! More interestingly still is that information source article's reporter: Aubrey Meyer, the former symphony viola section member, who is clearly the face and voice for C&C:

"Citing the US bill of rights, Al Gore stated during the recent Live Earth concerts: "We should demand that the US join an international [climate] treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than 50% worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy Earth." . .. At last, Gore says what is needed: contraction and convergence (C&C). This is the concept that came from the Global Commons Institute, based in the UK, which I set up in the early 1990s. It says that dangerous rates of climate change can be avoided only by countries agreeing to work together to safely limit the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and agreeing that emissions entitlements converge at a level that is equal, per
capita, for all countries under that limit.[3]

Aubrey Meyer's dedication is clear. So is his genius. This is one favorably stated summary of his plans:

Meyer realized that, if humanity is to survive climate change, a very
different kind of international agreement will be required. Climate change threatens humanity as a whole, and so requires a species-level response. Meyer's proposal - "contraction and convergence" (C&C) - proceeds from the recognition that all countries must act together to set a limit on global greenhouse emissions. Once this limit is agreed (the contraction bit), they must decide how the remaining emissions are to be shared. Meyer's suggested basis for this is equity. Given that we are all created equal, why should poor countries accept a smaller share of the shrinking pie? And so, after a period of transition, all countries are allocated emissions entitlements based on their populations convergence). . . . In practice, both the contraction cap on emissions and the convergence date to equity would be negotiable. World governments might, say, agree to limit global carbon-dioxide concentrations to 450 parts per million - enough, it is hoped, to keep global warming below 2 C - with convergence by 2030. This would give a less developed country such as Bangladesh a large wad of unused emissions, which it could sell for cash on world markets. Countries such as Australia, meanwhile, would have to buy spare emissions credits in order to keep on using a disproportionate amount of fossil fuel. The result would be large financial flows from rich to poor, giving developing countries the resources to participate in the clean energy revolution. . . . In contrast, Kyoto avoids the question . . . "

History is repeating itself. This is not the first emergence of this type of economic scheme. The same doctrine emerged full throttle in the pre-Hitler days. Many theosophists were taken with a political system that would entail a complicated bookkeeping "cashless society." It was known as "Social Credit." A colloquial seeming misspelling was used to identify its partisans: "Social Coediters." In fact, one book currently promoted by the C&C crowd has a chapter, "Planet Earth Money Martyred: Social Credit and Monetary Reform. That book, Babylon and Beyond: the economics of anti-capitalist, anti-globalist and radical green movements is by Derek Wall the "Principal Male Speaker of the Green Party of England and Wales."

C&C is paralleling what was transpiring in the 1920s when Social Credit was introduced by Scottish engineer Major C. H. Douglas. The world was then being both physically and psychologically prepared to receive a new "messiah." That claimed new Theosophical messiah was in the person of one Jiddhu Krishnamurti. The concepts of this movement quickly spread. American ex-patriate poet Ezra Pound, a Theosophist who once lived with William Butler Yeats, was a strong proponent of both Social Credit and Theosophy. Pound later became notorious as a Nazi-Fascist sympathizer. He made an expensive propaganda trip to the USA, accepting an award from his alma mater. Then, as now, there must have been snickering in occult circles as their economic notions, so very strongly paralleling the warned against systems of Revelation 13 were accepted as "Christian." The advantage we have that they lacked is the same one that Marilyn Ferguson bragged made their movement unstoppable: "modern communications have encircled the world beyond any possibility of retreat."

Perhaps their delusion that only their new age "initiation" would enable them to use modern communications is one reason why many of their number are now seeking a new, less egalitarian internet. I wrote of this project in my April 18, 2007 NewsWithViews article. You may read that by clicking here.

Strangely, social credit is widely accepted in portions of Canada today by people who otherwise consider themselves in large part both traditionalist Catholic and conservative Christian. The concepts spread through England as the "Kindred kibbo Kith," and then went into Canada. Social Credit too sought a global cashless society where universal credits would be given and wealth would be redistributed. It had clearly occult origins, but many, especially in depression era times saw it as a solution. Often they promoted it as "Christian."

This is where a most interesting configuration of the New Age and the anti-government movements may also be "harmonically converging." The same John White who wrote the "Special Introduction" to the 1979 Directory for a New World: Thirteenth Annual Edition" writes prolifically for anti-government, pro-militia movements. This is Leland Stewart's organization, "The International Cooperation Council." In that directory, John White was described as "an author, editor, teacher and lecturer engaged in the exploration of consciousness . . . John is a longtime friend of ICC . . ." Creepily, this Theosophist who like another Theosophist who successfully mined anti-government segments of the anti-IRS, anti-government movement, virulent Jew baiter Eustace Mullins. Mullins and John White have beat war drums for the militia movements of "abolish the IRS."

What is coming to "harmonically converge" in the "Contraction and Convergence" is a plan that will bring the old "Social Crediters", the environmentalists, global concert rock banders, third and fourth world countries, people of poverty. Now that Al Gore is on line many of the other masses "will swing into step" as well.

For sure, the Contraction and Convergence Movement has enjoyed obvious financing and powerful support. One abrasively militant but powerful voice backing it has been George Monbiot who has not hesitated to ridicule traditional long held Christian beliefs while simultaneously calling for revolution to implement his own.

The same Paul Hawken who wrote "The Magic of Findhorn," has bragged about "The Movement that Nobody Saw Coming." You can watch it on line for yourself by clicking here.
I spent probably two years researching Ezra Pound and the Social Credit Movement. Together with another researcher, Richard Gilman, we contemplated writing a book in progress that for one reason or another never got finished: "The Ezra Pound Connection." In our reams of materials, now donatend to the University of Michigan and presently not at my fingertips are scholarly references that Hitler planned to make Social Credit his economic system for his post-war society. He went down to defeat, but Social Credit continued in other places. It was particularly popular in large sections of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Particularly in Canada, Social Credit was under the sponsorship of Canadian conservative Christians who had been evangelized for the concept. Hopefully most of these Christians knew nothing of either its Theosophical roots or its "cashless society" agenda. What they saw it as was a solution for depression era loss of homes and income.

Personally startling to me in view of my current research on the European Union and its foreign and military policy chief, Javier Solana is this passage from James Webb's "The Occult Establishment" about one of Social Credit's most prominent leaders, John Hargrave:

"At the same time Hargrave's messages to his following took on an increasingly
apocalyptic tone, in which his old fascination with symbols and mythology was
coupled to a new emphasis on the power of the sun. The supporters of Social
Credit became "Solar Men." They were to pronounce a prayer to the sun for the
success of their efforts. Hasrgrave denounced those who could not see 'the
Social Credit mechanism is founded on a SPIRITUAL BASIS."[4]

That these movements are again creepily converging in a "Contraction and Convergence" with Gaian components is frightening enough. That the program is obviously backed by the leading global governance proponent with a name frighteningly similar to "Solar Men" is even stranger. "Solar Men" should give all great pause. In both past and present, wherever Social Credit has blossomed, so has anti-Semitism. It is a pulse point that those immune to other aspects of the New Age Movement are perhaps vulnerable to. It may well disarm those who perceive themselves immune to other New Age "Harmonic Convergences."

One web resource where these increasingly convergences are freely discussed are conference notes of Global Vision 2000. Social Credit is prominent in New Zealand, Canada, Australia. This will make the remarkably similar C&C selling easier. With the New Age emphasis on "think only positives," they are sure not to visualize anything sinister coming from it. They will sure not think that this global system which could enslave all in chilling poverty. If they are successful, their hoped for system will have a world wide cap on allowable energy use. It will obviously serve LARGER POPULATION. Increases in population will not yield increased national quotas. Given the convergence of a cap on allowable energy (which does not expand with expanding populations) combined with marketable rations of energy to every human being (as always, the rich will get richer and the poor will not only get poorer. If they do have money, what do they have it for – the energy their money is based on has been shipped to the more affluent nations.

I foresee a scenario where we are all poor with inadequate lighting, heating and/or air conditioning, it appears that if these "Social Creditors" cum "Contraction and Convergence" advocates get their way, we are in for a grim global time indeed. We will, indeed, under their scenario be lucky to have the energy to turn our computers on to access even their planned "New internet."

Presently it appears that the USA is facing at least a severe recession. The implementation of this program could turn it into a depression like none the world has ever seen! Sadly, the mortgage crisis may well make the proposed new economic system that goes with the planned energy cuts look like a solution of sorts to many families trapped in the "new economics" of this so-called "New Age."

Is it serious? You bet. With Angela Merkel, Al Gore, George Monbiot, the Findhorn Foundation, New Zealand, Australia, the European Union as well as has been recently reported, President George W. Bush's own energy consultant on board, it is critically serious! It could well be sold in other circles as a way to tear down the Federal Reserve Board and defeat the Bilderbergers. It would clearly take computer tracking and administration, a probable win-win for "Applied Digital Solutions" doing business as "Digital Angel" and "Xmark." The Green Parties and environmentalists love it.

It could well be that draconian solution of which Jeremy Rifkin bragged in his 1981 Bantam New Age Series book, Entropy:

"The radical change in world view required to make this transition will have to
be accomplished virtually overnight. There will be no time for polite debate,
subtle compromise, or momentary equivocation. To succeed will require a zealous
determination – a militancy . . . of herculean proportions."[5]

Also, Rifkin's declaration of the economic system sound remarkably like both that biblically described as an end time scenario and what Aubrey Meyer today is evidently successfully calling forth:

"Without a fundamental redistribution of wealth, all talk of lowering energy
flow and heeding our planet's biological limits will result in nothing but the
rich locking the poor forever into their subservient status. . . ."[6]

I'm not for polluting the water and burning the earth. Even less am I for grandiose ideas where scientists and politicians play God based on the unexamined agendas and ambitions of global warming alarmists. Oh, and by the way, earthquakes are increasing too. To what to they attribute those?

May the Lord help us all!
