Bin Laden claims airline bomb attempt on Christmas. The role of the media to shape the mind of the masses.
Do you wonder.... what is the most effective way to ratchet up more draconian measures to allegedly fight terrorism after having prepared "the ground" with the Christmas Day terrorist attempt?
Produce a tape with the "voice" of Osama bin Laden taking all the credit for it. (1) When will the masses in the US and the UK realize that they are being "played like a violin"?
The answer: When it is too late to do anything about it.
Do you still cannot see how the media is used to give shape to the mind and will of the masses? Take a look.... (2) The not-so-conservative crowd point their collective fingers at Fox News.... without realizing that all are doing the same and molding the mind of the masses "in the same format". The stridency of Fox has a purpose.... people do not notice what the others are also doing.

Artificially induced earthquakes. The reasearch of Nikola Tesla.
Do you still wonder... if the science fiction concept of artificially induced earthquakes is just that: Pure Science fiction?
No need to wonder about this anymore. Prayerfully review the following well referenced report, courtesy of our dear IC, and meditate on all its possible ramifications:
In answer to the question of whether Nikola Tesla did any research into artificially induced
earthquakes, the answer would be a qualified “yes”.
Nikola Tesla, as you are aware, was a prolific inventor. U.S. Patent No. 514,169, Tesla's Reciprocating Engine (1), formed the basis of what he would later call telegeodynamics (2). With it, one could find underground ore or oil deposits via the vibrations generated by his machine which he referred to as a “controlled earthquake”. (3) There are several stories of an experiment that Tesla did around 1888 wherein he secured a version of his device to a metal beam in his building, the device supposedly was small enough to be hidden in a coat, and resulted in the building as well as the surrounding area to be shaken as if it were experiencing an earthquake. Apparently, the situation became alarming enough that the police were called in and they arrived just in time to witness Tesla smashing his machine to pieces with a sledge hammer. (4)
How much progress did he make in this field? Not much, it seems. While he was confident that he could put his theories in this area to use, aside from telegeodynamics he also envisioned a world-wide telephony network wherein one would be able to transmit sound as well as video through the earth (5), he never quite got around to it, his energies and finances having been exhausted in other projects. Monied interests as well as the incredulity of most people and his own pacifist nature, seemed to be the most effective barriers to his inventive aspirations. It is worth noting however, that Tesla himself stated that he believed he could split the Earth in two were he so inclined. And that it would only take him a few weeks to vibrate the Earth's crust to such an extent that it would rise and fall hundreds of feet and effectively end civilization as we know it. (6)

The protection of God is limited by the state of our soul. An example: The fight against the Philistines.
Do you wonder... if God ever abandons to their fate those who trust in Him regardless of the state of their souls?
In 1 Samuel 4 we find a very sobering example on whether He does or does not...
1 Now the Israelites went out to fight against the
Philistines.... 2 The Philistines deployed their forces to meet Israel, and as the battle spread,
Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand of them on the battlefield.
3 When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, "Why did the LORD bring defeat
upon us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the LORD's covenant from Shiloh, so
that it [a] may go with us and save us from the hand of our
enemies."
4 So the people sent men to Shiloh, and they brought back the ark of the covenant of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim....
5 When the ark of the LORD's covenant came into the camp, all Israel raised such a great shout that the ground shook. 6 Hearing the uproar, the Philistines asked, "What's all this shouting in the Hebrew camp?"
When they learned that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp, 7 the Philistines were afraid. "A god has come into the camp," they said. "We're in trouble! Nothing like this has happened before. 8 Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the desert. 9 Be strong, Philistines! Be men, or you will be subject to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be men, and fight!"
10 So the Philistines fought, and the Israelites were defeated and every man fled to his tent. The slaughter was very great; Israel lost thirty thousand foot soldiers. 11 The ark of God was captured, and Eli's two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

It is not our intention to use scare tactics to Evangelize as Rome has used for 1600 years; however, it is indeed our intention to do all that is in our power to prevent surprises when it would be too late to do anything about the situation that caused it.

How works the mechanism of "looking the other way". Consented terrorism?
Do you wonder... why there was - what seems to be - another terrorist attack which required a concerted "looking the other way" effort for it to happen?
Maybe a recent Global Research article (1) will help those who have not heard us when we have talked about this before understand the "looking the other way" (2) mechanism better.
Yes, we understand that many will claim that it is just another Conspiracy Theory.... just like many of these (3) thought when warned about their future.
(1) The Strange Case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab | Archived copy in our domain
(2) This, in no way, implies that President Obama was part of any "looking the other way" plan any more than President Bush was regarding the 9-11 tragedy. These men - the technical heads of the greatest intelligence gathering system in our Solar System - know only was is fed to them according to other's agendas.
(3) Some warned the world about this, but the warnings fell on deaf ears until it was too late.

Another incoherence about Osama bin-Laden: Why did not he attacked Saudi Arabia?
Do you wonder.... why didn't Osama bin-Laden turned against the Saudi government instead of turning against the US?
So do we.... considering that bin-Laden's chief and initial complaint was the establishment of US bases in the Middle East - specifically in Saudi Arabia. It logically follows that the US could not establish military bases there unless it was authorized by the Saudi authorities. Therefore - the logic, regardless of one's faith, shows that the Saudi government would be ultimately responsible for what bin-Laden blamed the US.
It looks that the "Cafeteria Syndrome" not only applies to the Vatican. The incoherent "pick-and-choose" behavior certainly is an interfaith syndrome.
