Todays report: Designer "gods"

His letter begins like this:

To:              Lucifer the Most High and Enlightened One

From:          Dracma, Overlord of Babylon

Subject:       Designer “gods”

Illustrious Master,
You recall our first “tête-à-tête” in the Garden.  You promised the “first couple” that they “would be like God, knowing good and evil.”  (Genesis 3:5)  What a juicy temptation!  They went for it back then and they still do today!  Not much has changed.

While Moses was up on the mountain getting the “Ten Suggestions” the Israelites were making a beautiful golden calf.  When they finally arrived in the promised land, they couldn’t resist the local ladies and their hand crafted “gods”.  Oh how they loved those little idols – things made by their own hands and they worshipped them as “gods”!  What a concept!  Some things never change.

Except that today, people worship other things without even knowing it.  It could be their house, their career, their possessions or even themselves!  But most people still have a need to find meaning for their sad little lives, so the paltry pieces of clay come up with their own ideas as to who the “Potter” is, what He is like and what rules He has, if any.  Quite presumptuous creatures they have become, but ah, what can we say, we trained them well.  So here we have man making G..d in his own image.  What a concept!  Today they see G..d as this warm and fuzzy entity who expects

Podcasts – The Tribulation Network

by Doug Krieger

The 1Tribulation Network is alive and well—notwithstanding the infernal attempts to classify us as Doomers (Note:  We’ve gone from “Boomers” to “Doomers” since Peak Oil) and the most recent attempts by Homeland Security to brand those involved in “end times prophecy” as the new threat to the security of these United States of America; therefore, once again, as Dene McGriff’s article brings out:  You’re in trouble if you deign to connect with The Tribulation Network and casually participate in our “radical views” of Armageddon Theology as self-fulfilling and a real and present danger.  Imagine, we keep some good company along the way because x-military personnel, especially those who have fought the Empire’s wars, are likewise classified as prime candidates from the new threat.

Incredible as it sounds:  Law enforcement officials... may effectively deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States . . . their concern is fueled because of those who believe in ‘end-times prophecies.’  “If it sounds nuts, it probably is nuts” – that’s what my beloved father-in-law once said and although this bizarre and New Left idiocy is couched in reasonable-sounding legitimacies, it is probably nuts in its concoction!  A bit controversial, wouldn’t you say…

“ ‘end times’ prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as the violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.” (From:  Department of Homeland Security Report:  (U/’/FOUO) Rightwing Extremism:  Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment – see full report @ http://88.80.13.160.nyud.net/leak/us-dhs-right- 2 wing-extremism-2009.pdf)

Actually, our reaction to this broad brush stroke and stigmatization is bland compared to the outrage heard throughout the land of Euro-Centrics (those who espouse that the final Antichrist will arise out of Europe) – most of whom inadvertently or purposefully proclaim vehement patriotism allegedly protected by the very Homeland Security whose watchful eye now sits atop the pyramid.  Frankly, I can’t think of a more bizarre relationship – that between the patriotic prophets and their own Homeland Security?  Come on now, stranger things have been known to happen—but this one takes the cake.

Could it be that the tyranny of the Left (a la Lenin, Stalin and Mao and its Socialist camaraderie) can outperform the platitudes, deceits and social strangulations of the radical Right?  And, be it known, each side delights in the use of the word EXTREMISM and RADICALIZATION…for it is the RADICAL Right which accuses the EXTREMIST Left of such bombastic attempts at social classification, and vice versa.  Somewhere in the middle of all this the Prophets abide—really not too comfortable in the middle of this playing field and hardly the friend of either – a sort of no-man’s land, if you would.

For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come (Hebrews 13:14).

Truer words could not be spoken – for the believer, the true follower of Jesus Christ, who dares to “evangelize” – “to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16) is the likely candidate for suspicion, consternation and ultimate dismissal (in one form or another by Right or by Left) – this has been our lot whether under Hitler or Stalin (take your pick) – and if this sounds like a radical or extreme assessment of the same, don’t be so naïve...history is NOT on your/our side.

PODCASTS & BOOKS

So we’ve taken to the airwaves for radical and extreme dissemination of the Truth!  Hard to classify these broadcasts by classical designations – e.g., “Why America is in Economic Meltdown?” or “How the Emergent Church and Post-Modern Christian-Liberalism Find Common Cause.” Instead, we’ll have various dates and the “four horsemen” of Bible Prophecy; namely, Doug Shearer, Dene McGriff, Richard Paradise and yours truly, will simply excoriate at will and bring to prophetic focus what in the world is going on out there from a biblical perspective, juxtaposed to a purely end-of-days radical conjecture as contrived by Homeland Security until “crying FIRE in the theater” is what “they” claim we are doing and, therefore, need to be silenced—having little or nothing to do with so-called First Amendment guarantees (Where’s the ACLU when you need them?).

Meanwhile, in addition to these proclamations, we have decided to encapsulate our e-books and subsequent legacy into actual book format.  That’ll make us a larger than life target and easier to carry around with you our minority reports on Bible prophecy.  One more elucidation…this business of having an unchristian-like spirit and “how-can-they-claim-to-be-Christians” and lambast their brethren in Christ or “Where’s the love, brother?” – well, here comes the train wreck, tsunami, quake, firestorm, or the Hitlerian nightmare, and you expect us to somehow keep our composure, our neutrality, our indifference…and above all, our Christian dignity in tack lest “brethren who differ” – along with Homeland Security – might think we’re radical or extreme?  Nonsense.  Rather to be accused of such inflammations than never to have ventured into these theaters of operations with mealy-mouth, wishy-washy overtures which cry like a kitten and not a lion’s growl, right?  Who’s going to listen to someone, whose convictions are naught but academic boredom, abstract philosophies that dwell in unapproachable ambiguity?  No one, that’s who.   So, we have chosen the path of greater resistance not because we’re trying to amass a crowd of Doomers, but to sound a trumpet in Zion because the battle lines have been drawn and the Great City demands a commensurate response from those “whose knowledge of the prophetic will increase and become GREAT” at the end of days (Daniel 12:4).

Don’t deem our countenance of such a claim to be spiritual profanity. 

“What is truth?”  (Pontius Pilot)

“I want the truth!” (Tom Cruise) –

“You can’t handle the truth!  You don’t want the truth because deep down inside you talk about at parties …

you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall” (Jack Nicklaus in A Few Good Men)

RISE OR FALL OF AMERICAN EMPIRE?

3The thirty chapters of the Rise or Fall of American Empire?...the Evangelical Cover-up of America in Bible Prophecy will be our first offering.  This two volume release will by dent of its compilation – given over a period of two years (May, 2007 through May, 2009) – constitute a sort of evangelical Americana blog in flavor with twists and turns driven by the two-year run of President Barak Obama’s run for the White House.  There is no American evangelical conspiracy to conceal America’s role in Bible Prophecy.  There is, however, a mind numbing disregard on the part of most American evangelical patriots to relegate Biblical eschatology to the trash bin of European Imperialism and its concomitant partner in crime:  Geopolitical reality!  Herein lies the “cover-up” – for there is no better term that describes the blindness afflicting most American prophetic buffs. 

The flagrant obfuscation of America’s dynamic and geopolitical ubiquity in all things political, commercial and cultural pervades their instruction; therefore, Ms. Liberty must, in order for Europe to ascend and thus provide the base of Antichrist, descend into Hal Lindsey’s “not even a bit part” shall America play in Bible prophecy.  This immediate demise undergoes a repeated and agonizing appraisal by this author – from heights of hilarity to depths of despair, from Biblical contestation with their convoluted conclusions to tender exhortation that they embrace the truth of her true identity and renounce her prophetic claims as the “city set on a hill” while coming to grips that she  “…sit(s) as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow” (Revelation 18:7).

You are witness to the great battle of the final idea:  The Great City, Babylon vs. the Holy City, New Jerusalem.  Think not this but a triviality of little import…no, this is (not perhaps) THE ultimate deduction, the end game, and the final struggle.  Coming to terms with this – geopolitically, philosophically, and spiritually – is the matter.  A defining moment in history awaits us – some more now than others.  It will become increasingly restrictive as the middle ground of objectivity, relativity and so-called reason gives way to decisive perception and uncompromised commitment to decide one way or the other.  Choosing wisely, even after the facts are clearly rendered, will be the challenge.  For if you are living in the Babylon of the Last Days – then, there are immense consequences, implications regarding allegiance and even alliance, if you imbibe in her cup.  Homeland Security’s assertion that survivalism and the hills await this kooky crowd of end-time drama queens does not square with the Prophet’s injunction to “stand in the street of the Great City” to protest her abominations and proclaim Messiah’s final deliverance.

The volumes will obviously have new content; an inescapable condition as the author wishes to be relevant to the end.  All proceeds from the meager sales so forecasted will simply be plowed back into other suspected publications with different but familiar e-book titles.

That’s all for now – may the Lord bless and inwardly strengthen us as the age rapidly concludes. May we all be found faithful to Him Who loves us and gave Himself a ransom for many, to redeem us from among men to be His Pearl of Great Price!

Bro. Doug
