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.

(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.

(**) "Because
it has been given to you

heaven, but to them it has not been given."..... Therefore I speak to
them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do
not hear, nor do they understand.... Lest they should see with their

hearts and be converted so that I should heal them." [Matthew
